  • Also Skateboarding! I've been doing it for 15 or so years, it's always been a great way to exerciase and clear my head. And there's lovely people in the scene. Lots of people picked up boards this past year, it's fun! do it! by gvnmc (Mon 22nd Feb 2021 1:14pm)
  • You should compare if you want. There really shouldn't be this taboo about discussing wage. It's only a thing to stop employee's finding out they are underpaid. Although, if you mean online or in this thread, that will vary. by gvnmc (Fri 28th Jan 2022 1:50am)
  • It's unhealthy to let yourself work for less too! All you have is your time, dont give it up too easily. If others are doing the same work as you, may even slack off more, but still get a higher pay, I want to know about it by gvnmc (Sat 29th Jan 2022 6:25pm)
  • I'd happily wear a mask but what I've also noticed is they seem less available in shops near me. Tesco by my flat doesn't even seem to sell them by gvnmc (Mon 7th Feb 2022 10:09pm)
  • haha, OP's played too much leauge of legends and thinks he's chasing these wee guys about with a sword by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 4:53am)
  • I agree with pretty much all of this, except the food part. I don't know where on earth you ate, but there are loads of very high quality places that serve good food. I've eaten in the US, and from what I can tell, everything over there is so packed full of sugar it makes it seem like it's better. But it's not. Most things I tried in the US were over powering and processed. However, It depends where you eat. I can absolutey agree some fast food places are disgusting. But why would you want to live off that? by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:08am)
  • Rufus T is a fucking dive and i've heard the managers are cunts who treat staff horribly. by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:13am)
  • There's a lot of highlanders like myself who do still very much enjoy talking about our clan traditions. (mostly those of us with Mac names) by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:17am)
  • There's a reason the US has one of, if not the worst obesitiy problems in the world. You guys consume insane amounts of sugar and portions that are far too large. Your body is literally addicted to that sugar, so anything the rest of the world deems as good food is probably bland to you. Congrats, you're unhealthy. Scotland has some of the most fresh fish available, especially in the highlands. Fish needs to be frozen and travel across states in most places in the US. You're genuinely off your rocker. by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:08pm)
  • I had a famly dog growning up, and I'm used to caring for dogs. But obviously as a child it fell mostly on my parents. I understand fully a dog is a life and makes emotional bonds. I wouldn't give up on it. For me its just ensuring I can accomodate. Which at the moment, I feel I can. I want that responsibility, I feel it'll kick my arse into gear more with routine and getting out by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:13pm)
  • I tried this and got arrested. Thanks mate. by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:11pm)
  • I'm talking about highlanders IN glasgow. So you never know. by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:19pm)
  • I have a friend who did this, good shout by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:17pm)
  • Nope, rufus T. had a pal who worked at a bar nearby it and heard about it by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 5:20pm)
  • Maybe more Islanders from the western isle, everyone I know from further up north is quite interested in their heritage. I mean, i'm literally one of them living in Glasgow so. There you go by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 8:17pm)
  • Ah yes, the classic American burgers and fries meal. You've not explored Scotland enough. The bland british food stereotype is mostly in england, if you are talking about our traditional foods, yes, but you're saying there's no good food in glasgow in general. Yes there is, there are cousines from all over the world, lovely asian, turkish, greek, italians, you name it. by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 8:14pm)
  • I'm quite aware of the responsibility that comes with, I've owned a dog growing up, it'll just be different now it's just me, which I'm prepared for. I wouldn't get a breed like a springer spaniel, which have a lot more energy. It's just recently been a thought but I'm taking my time and finding out how manageable this will be. And yea, I'm considering dog sitting. Thanks by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 8:23pm)
  • They gave me perfectly insightful info. What are you on ya weapon by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 8:20pm)
  • That's nice and all, but doesn't answer my question lol by gvnmc (Tue 19th Jul 2022 8:25pm)
  • Even traditional roasts are made really well with seasoning in some places I've been though. Just because it's potatoes doesn't mean it's bland, again, you've not been to any good spots it seems. Because there are some. Thing is, in the US, [stuff like this](https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/10-traditional-american-dishes-you-need-to-try/) is your traditional food. That's really not far off traditonal british foods. Cooked meats, starch, basic. The base is there, it depends how you season. Like really, a hot dog is as bland as I can think. Bread, sausage, ketchup, maybe mustard? meh by gvnmc (Wed 20th Jul 2022 2:21am)
  • Eventually, people would just stop speeding and parking. So it isn't an endless source. But if only by gvnmc (Fri 22nd Jul 2022 1:39am)
  • I'm from the outer hebrides, and I love Glasgow and find most people genuinely friendly. I find it's only the people who've lived here their whole life that hate it, same as me hating the island i'm from, beacause I just grew up and got bored of it. by gvnmc (Fri 22nd Jul 2022 2:15am)
  • I think it's just localised accents to you after living here. I hate the teauchter accent because I'm from up north, hearing it makes me cringe. But others love it. I like the Glasgow accent. It's like hearing your own voice played back, most people don't notice it. by gvnmc (Fri 22nd Jul 2022 2:21am)
  • I resepect you for wanting to help and taking time to do so. It's a really sad situation, but unfortunatly, people can not be helped and can not change no matter how much you do for them, until it comes from them. They have to want the help and want to change. I'm sure police are aware of her, if not, maybe whatever you do will make them aware. I'm sure she's been through some shit to get in that position but honestly, all you can do is ask her if shes ok and needs help. Go from there, but if she's not having it, what can you do? phoning police would only make her move on. by gvnmc (Tue 26th Jul 2022 9:49pm)
  • You can't live other peoples lives for them. Sad shit happens, it'd be nice if we could as an individual just fix someone. But you can't. It's almost impossible. Good luck by gvnmc (Tue 26th Jul 2022 11:03pm)
  • If you like skateboarding, take it up. I have made so many great friends, the scene here is very connected and welcoming! Just go along to kelvingrove skatepark and you'll meet people easily by gvnmc (Fri 29th Jul 2022 5:49pm)
  • It's really not. MOST people aren't there to make friends. by gvnmc (Fri 29th Jul 2022 6:14pm)
  • The only muscle you seem to work at the gym is your jaw, shut up and just get a real set in by gvnmc (Sun 31st Jul 2022 8:47pm)
  • Very likely, I'm a KG regular haha by gvnmc (Sun 31st Jul 2022 8:45pm)
  • Whatever you say, not sure why you're so agressively trying to prove a point most people disagree with by gvnmc (Sun 31st Jul 2022 9:34pm)
  • All I did was say gyms aren't a good place to make friends. You made it hostile. And all I gather from this is you need to resort to a gym to find friends lol by gvnmc (Sun 31st Jul 2022 11:16pm)
  • >Sorry no one at the gym wants to be friends with you Nope, it was you. I was simply clapping back. You're just mad nobody agrees with you. And for someone with so many friends, you reply creepily fast to reddit comments lmao get a life, goodbye by gvnmc (Sun 31st Jul 2022 11:20pm)
  • Lol, I go to that gym. If it's a disabled toilet/changing room, pull the emergency cord. Always wanted to do that. Otherwise, order up a deliveroo and they'll get you out by gvnmc (Tue 2nd Aug 2022 2:23am)
  • You can message him your pin :) I was mostly joking... but you'd get a tasty scran out of it by gvnmc (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 1:35am)
  • As someone who uses the skate park, at least lighting that area up would be ideal. by gvnmc (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 3:49am)
  • Skateboarding. Big scene here, lots going on, all ages, you can both do it. by gvnmc (Tue 22nd Nov 2022 1:31am)
  • Bro, if you go anywhere regularly and see the same people, be very wary of making things awkward. If you REALLY want to, the best way to go about it is allowing things to happen naturally and just treating them as a friend. If you happen to start chatting or saying the occasional hello, if it's meant to be it'll be. by gvnmc (Mon 22nd May 2023 10:50pm)
  • What you mean? by gvnmc (Tue 23rd May 2023 2:34am)
  • Yea basically, don't shit where you eat OP. by gvnmc (Tue 23rd May 2023 2:39am)
  • How is that all thats left? What kind of miserable existence do you live in? There's literally thousands of clubs and hobbies you can find that are more social. Work, class, gym are places people go to focus on improvement or work. by gvnmc (Tue 23rd May 2023 11:36pm)
  • Hahaha, I know lad. But just kinda happens sometimes. Mistakes get made. They're fucking rapid to catch you out. The west george street one, you can see I'm moving over in the pictures it's a piss take by gvnmc (Tue 27th Jun 2023 2:38am)
  • 100%. I've had to deal with some wee bams before, couldn't have been older than 14. All I could think of was how much i'd be fucked over if I just kicked their cunts in. Like what can you do? by gvnmc (Tue 27th Jun 2023 2:47am)
  • It's not the bus gate I was in, it was the bus lane a bit further up. I was aware of the bus gate down by Nelson Mandela, but didn't really even notice this lane, which I quickly was out of anyway. by gvnmc (Tue 27th Jun 2023 3:00am)
  • Tbh though, I've been told by shop keepers before to just fucking rattle them. If they want to act grown treat them grown by gvnmc (Tue 27th Jun 2023 8:43pm)
  • I disagree with this. On nights out I make friends all the time, and approach women with some success lol But, I'd rarely ever approach a woman during the day when It's not the enviroment for it by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 12:00am)
  • DELETED I'd say Glasgow is different to this... People are very friendly, and guys will 100% approach you when out at bars, especially in smoking areas. In fact, what's your number? by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 12:06am)
  • If you say so. I call it being sociable and approachable. And It's taken a lot for me over the years to develop and get over social anxiety, forcing myself to talk to women at bars is healthy. I'd say for any young man it is. Not being manipulative, just healthy social skills. And about not approaching someone in the wrong enviroment, that's just being respectful... by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 12:48am)
  • DELETED Do you think just chatting up a woman at a bar is being a "pick-up artist"? People meet that way all the time. It's perfectly healthy to go up to and chat to someone you find attractive in a bar without laying on sleazy pick-up game, so you dont just rule people out over that. Men do it all the time, so idk what you're talking about. If this is how you think people socialize I'd say you're inept by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 12:53am)
  • My guy, you post to dating advice subs regularly... and you've said this comment multiple times. Any guy that actually seems to speak to women and gets somewhere with it seems to be from seducingwomen to you. I've never even heard of that sub lmfao, go outside dude. by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 1:00am)
  • Fair enough I missed "but on the streets". by gvnmc (Wed 28th Jun 2023 3:12am)
  • Yea, I remember talks of them trying to create better cycling infastructure, similar to places in the EU like amstedam, all they've done is chuck one down sauchihall street and I see no way of adding anything else to the center. by gvnmc (Fri 4th Aug 2023 12:55am)
  • Yea TV licensing is so stupid. I just phoned them up and told them to stop sending me shit and take me off their database because I dont have a TV lol by gvnmc (Sun 6th Aug 2023 5:52pm)
  • It's not that weird. People do sparring, acrobatics and all sorts in public parks. It's only for people who don't know how to not be a judgemental prick that think it's odd. Sure, if you're being obnoxious about it, that's different. Keep practicing your kicks, and if some wee idiots try to do that, use the kicks for real. by gvnmc (Sat 26th Aug 2023 3:24am)
  • Don't worry about what others think, if you want to do something and it's not hurting anyone, who cares. It's not an invitation for wee bams to annoy you. You'll get used to that in the UK in general, happens often in Glasgow. Kids here act hard and will try and find any way to try to bully you, even if you're fully grown. Get used to just telling them to fuck off. Honestly these kids deserve a smack, so you'll need to find a way to deal with them, because it probably won't be the last time. Everyone I know in Glasgow has stories of some literal child trying to start with them. by gvnmc (Sat 26th Aug 2023 3:21am)
  • I'd argue doing some odd things around the skate park is actually safer. I frequent KG skate park a lot, and we have all kinds of characters appear and do all sorts of out of the ordinary activities in spaces around it. Skate culture embraces weirdness like that, and it's mostly met with acceptance and curiosity, nobody would let someone harrass you there. by gvnmc (Sat 26th Aug 2023 3:28am)
  • The reason they don't know how to not be obnoxious is because they are let away with it. by gvnmc (Sun 27th Aug 2023 7:55pm)
  • There was more, I had one on my street right by my flat. Now it's only open til 12. It's a pain in the ass because it's really convenient to have 24/7 shops. Covid changed their hours and they didn't go back. by gvnmc (Tue 5th Sep 2023 1:41am)
  • Barrowlands is hands down the best for big gigs by gvnmc (Tue 5th Sep 2023 6:01pm)
  • It might depend on who you go to see, but concerts there tend to be the biggest artists, which have bigger fanbases and some seriously obessive people. The closer you try go to the front, the more serious cunts get, almost like there's no fun its just people taking it seriously and not going wild. At least, the gigs i've been to there. Paramore recently was so fucking annoying, we tried getting close to the front because people were just standing still watching, the further forward you go, people get fucking mad that you're trying to move around a bit. by gvnmc (Tue 5th Sep 2023 6:00pm)
  • That shit was pricey, and the woman hardly remembered my name each session. by gvnmc (Fri 8th Sep 2023 12:05am)
  • Hopfully you find good resources in this thread, but if you want to just avoid the time and money on these things, I reckon they'd pretty much just tell you to expose yourself to these situations more. Because that's pretty much what works at the end of the day. Maybe find some kind of like improv group or join some kind of social hobby. Like, you're managing 29 people, I'm sure you're not as bad as you think. Try to remember, pretty much everyone is socially awkward/anxious to some degree. We all get a bit worried about what people think of us when we are talking to them, and everyone always thinks more about themself than you. Keep putting yourself into uncomfortable situations, and it gets easier. by gvnmc (Fri 8th Sep 2023 12:11am)
  • It really is ridiculous now. They get too much of a fucking pass. If they want to act big and hard and attack people, they should get a smack right back. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a story of some wee bams starting on them by gvnmc (Mon 11th Sep 2023 3:25pm)
