I would trade my very limited woodworking skills for equally limited artistic skills of any type, ideally music related.
I would trade some other skills (really any pick) for extra house improvement skills. It’s not even that I’m bad at it, I’m just too nervous to fuck it up to even start…
I never traveled solo, and don’t regret it at all. I enjoy more spending time with friends and acquaintances than doing things “my way”. I still had smaller trips on my own, arriving earlier than the rest of the group, but never enjoyed it much. So, I don’t think it’s dumb, do what you feel you will like.
I always find the first moments of movies with famous actors disconcerting. Why is Jack from Titanic here? Oh, he is not Jack from Titanic, just has his body-suit…
In a cinema I used to go to, they used to show the Met’s operas during the Sunday matinee. Absolutely lovely!
Cinema popcorn is 60% of why I want to go to the movies. My local cinema changed popcorn maker and now it’s not as fresh… I am not as excited to go to the movies anymore :/
I want to upvote twice. Only correct answer!
Unbelievable…
The more I see about education nowadays, the more I realize I would not survive it anymore. So many tests and assignments and whatever, students have barely any time left to think or be bored. Everything gets constantly evaluated.
A small thing, but my parents were very authoritarian. Rules were honestly fair, but any discussion was immediately closed by “because I said so”. In particular as a teenager, I was aware enough to both realize that the rules were overall fair, so I didn’t want to go on an all out war, but also wanted to discuss about finer points. But there was no space for a civil discussion because my parents “said so”.
Honestly nothing unexpected. Also: night ÖBB trains have showers and room options (and are slow because if you take a night train you only care about arriving by tomorrow). And have similar furnishing dating from last century.
Main takeaway: I want serious night trains in EU!
You met three days ago? And you are “basically living together”?
Considering the length, it’s a fling. Considering you haven’t talked about it, it’s a situationship.
My unwanted and unasked advice is to take some distance for at least a day before calling it anything at all. And then talk about expectations.
Honestly (anecdote time!), when I started going out with my partner, I had some weird and totally personal hang ups with the word “boyfriend”. So for a couple of months they were “the person I am seeing” then became my “partner”. We had the conversation about exclusivity and such, talked about where we saw stuff going and so on, but wording was difficult. A word is just a word, as long as you both agree on the rest it doesn’t really matter much.
