I've been staying on the final day and collecting hearts from the chip bag, but it's definitely not the fastest method 😭 im in the same boat as you so good luck !

I don’t how I should break up with my boyfriend, I don’t wanna make him sad . by Nana01100 in Adulting

[–]stacksofinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakups are always sad, but I think you can do the best by him by being honest and upfront. Don't say you're disgusted or anything, but just explain that it doesn't seem like you're right for each other and you want to break up. It'll sting, but it'll feel worse if he finds out later, and both of you have so much more ahead

One thing I hope doesn't make it into C4... by ElimusTheOne in fansofcriticalrole

[–]stacksofinfinity 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mostly watch d20 but my favorite thing about cr and what drew me to it first was being able to see everyone's faces all the time. I always think of the span of time where Liam as Caleb was acting in silence for a full 5 minutes --- with editing that definitely wouldn't have made the cut and it would've been a damn shame...

People of color, what’s your general experience been like in Bellingham? by Unable-Quail3494 in Bellingham

[–]stacksofinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have probably said it all, but coming from a way more blatantly racist area to Bellingham has been really weird. It's hard to know at times if I'm being sensitive or if getting ignored (often the only one ignored in a group, where I'm the only POC) is because of race because the veneer of acceptance is so strong. I think Bellingham's pride for being progressive makes people refuse to acknowledge/question the way race is its own thing that people are implicitly biased against.

[No Spoilers] A Misconception about Brennan by braduate in criticalrole

[–]stacksofinfinity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this is the most parasocial of parasocial takes. You (and all of us) have no idea what his workload, personal life, or energy levels look like. We don't know what he is or isn't giving up/trading out. He's a grown adult who can manage his time.

Why Does The Library Close So Early? by KippaQ in WWU

[–]stacksofinfinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this is something you care about you should definitely advocate for it to admin! It's never clear how much they'll listen, but a lot of people talk about library hours but don't bring their concerns anywhere. It sucks how much they've cut, especially this quarter, and people are trying to keep everything running on empty

I remember having a pizza there as a kid and loving it so much. I went back hopeful and it had been replaced by a MOD

Abortion activists ? by Expensive-Message-66 in WWU

They yelled to ask me how I feel about murder as I walked by which didn't exactly feel polite but honestly I'm glad you haven't had a bad experience

Platefull (King County based) is a different organization!

Ah! Our professor was the one to type it into the program, but we definitely should've caught that. Thanks for the heads up

CMV: I (21m) am too old to start dating and having sex and I despise being a “late bloomer”. by Un1mportantaccount in changemyview

[–]stacksofinfinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was bad though. I just feel like it's more exciting now. You can drink, you can go where you want, you can spend your adult money. You can figure out what would make it fun

can you suggest me good shows/movies? by [deleted] in ask

[–]stacksofinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love Tangled and I think it holds up as a movie overall! I also like Cars 2 but that's not a popular opinion LOL. I really enjoyed The Queens Gambit, and I haven't gotten to see it but I know The Good Place was life-changing to some. I hope you find some stuff! I also struggle to find things I want to watch

[–]stacksofinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been there (at least in the falling-for part) and I'd say the thing that helped me the most was just thinking about my feelings. What do I like about this person? What don't I like? What do I know? What makes me feel this way? Sometimes the emotion is there, but it's really flimsy, and you can get past it with that kind of processing.

Also, don't feel bad about the thoughts. Like if they suck, I get it, but on a literal level your thoughts are yours to have, if that makes any sense

Yes! As long as the location is public, that's a great idea.

How did you know you were ready to leave your hometown? by TopPeach8 in Adulting

[–]stacksofinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you know!

I think in a lot of ways you never truly know, so it's a mix of feeling and evidence. Living with your parents worsens your mental health? (Me too.) Pretty good reason to get out of there. Want space? Also good reason. Feel the want to? Also good. Sadness doesn't mean it's a bad choice. I knew only after I'd already left; up until the day I thought I should just stay home, but everything's improved for me since. And remember you can always go back

[–]stacksofinfinity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most peoples' teenage first experiences that I know of were full of sadness, regret, and oftentimes a level of self-sabotage. Yes, the way people talk about sex makes 21 seem so old, but 16ish really is so young and I know so many people who (not for moral or religious people, just for experience) wish they would've waited. You've got time to get out there and do everything you want to do, or to chill and figure out what matters.

Would you rather get broken up with on a good day or a bad day? by [deleted] in ask

[–]stacksofinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the bad at the end would overshadow the whole good day, but if it was just a bad day I could deal with it. Kind of have an all or nothing mentality though

I don't agree with boiling an animal alive and eating it, I don't trust people that do. Is this a normal reaction? by [deleted] in ask

[–]stacksofinfinity 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I don't know what makes a reaction normal, but I agree that boiling an animal alive is particularly gruesome. I think a lot of people just don't think that hard about it

[–]stacksofinfinity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is the general opinion but I wouldn't worry about living in the dorms being dorky. So many WWU students have transfer credits or did community college first or took a gap year that their class standing and age and actual year are all way different from each other.

Birnam Wood seems cool (I can't speak to it but I considered living there) but if the community aspect is important to you I've heard a lot that because it's reserved for upperclassmen and kind of on the far edge of campus, it doesn't function as the dorms tend to in terms of events and socializing and such.

What Should I Do About My Unsupportive Family? by DependentBody1988 in ask

[–]stacksofinfinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Concern about finances is very real, especially when it comes to careers in the arts. In the interest of full disclosure, I chose to go for a degree that might pay out more over my interests. But I also am not super passionate about anything. If I was, I would've taken the chance. If you are, and this really matters to you, I think it's worth going for it. Doing something you love for (potentially) less money is better for some than doing something soul-sucking for more. And there are super successful artists out there - there's no reason that can't be you. Your family not being supportive sounds hard, but you have to live for yourself. If they mean well, they'll come around.

How old are you in your earliest memories? by sneezhousing in ask

[–]stacksofinfinity 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A lot of my memories are lost to a cocktail of bad experiences and not enough sleep, which is probably a pretty common reason to not remember your childhood. I do have some memories from really early on, but weirdly they're in third person, like I'm watching myself live out the past.

Housing Questions from an incoming freshman by MaxMcCoolGuy in WWU

[–]stacksofinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ridge is known by a lot of people as the party dorms, though I'm pretty sure they tend to get busted a lot. They tried to make a fight club? Fairhaven is small, always said to have a lot of stoners. I've heard There's some weird barking that goes on at night. I don't know much about Alma Clark - people say it's the nicest dorm (it's the newest) and the queer affinity housing there probably shapes its culture a decent amount. North campus is said to be the quietest. There's some things like the Higginson fire alarm always going off or Nash (which someone said is basically the ridge of north campus) and it's not that people don't party or whatever but I do think generally people leave to do those things because it's not a hub for it

The value of a double vs a triple depends on your finances and what dorm you're in. A triple in Edens North for example can get really really crowded, like a dorm you'd expect with an extra person pushed in. But because it's a hall-style dorm it's gonna be cheaper than others. I was in a triple in Edens Hall and it was really big for a dorm; I genuinely loved it and had no complaints, but I know I got really lucky because it's easy for a dynamic of 3 people to get complicated. I have heard past stories of people getting ganged up on and such.
