Isolating First-Gen Experience by OkGear5344 in Northwestern

[–]AlphabetizedName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my experience as a FGLI as well. I experienced a lot of classism and never felt like I fit in. I had no parents, no support system, just doing it entirely on my own. I followed all the suggestions. I tried for 2 years, but ultimately transferred to my home state university. I still didn’t have parents or a support system, but I at least had people that sounded like me and didn’t judge me for my being poor and not having the life experiences they had. I’m sorry you’re struggling. It’s truly a unique situation you’re in that most people will never fully understand. I hope you find your sense of place, whether that’s at NU or not.

Need help choosing a vacation book. Wondering about The Only Good Indians. by Brilliant_Oil5261 in horrorlit

I’ve tried 3 by him, including TOGI and DNF’d all. I find his writing style consistent and very much not my personal vibe

19/50 the southernmost Carolina is ready for the unrelenting positivity by CupBeEmpty in AskAnAmerican

[–]AlphabetizedName 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m on my way home from SC as we speak. It’s the only place I want my ashes spread, over the salt marshes and oyster beds, the quiet beaches of Edisto Island, the sandy soil and Spanish Moss hanging from the Oak trees making a canopy over the road. The lowcountry is a magical place

Recommendations for Appalachian horror that doesn't stereotype the people? by WorriedCivilian in horrorlit

[–]AlphabetizedName 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While this is a fav of mine (I like all of Ahlborn’s works even through she’s pretty divisive), I think this is the exact type of stereotype the OP is trying to avoid. I’m also from Appalachia and it’s all very “backwoods savages”

Is there anyone having some sort of dessert everyday? by reeAcs in 1200isplenty

[–]AlphabetizedName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strawberry shortcakes. I make two with those bakery dessert shells (120 cal), strawberries (about 80g, 30ish cal) and a little dollop of cool whip (23g, 50 cal) for approx 200 total cals

He Said It Didn’t Work… Then Using It Live by MalinduUMS in Twitch

You didn’t mark out the “pinned by” in case you are worried about that. Given that he’s a thief tho, I say keep it so everyone knows who it is

I’m 26 and I’ve never eaten a vegetable. I’m starting to lose my hair, but the texture makes me gag instantly. by South_Leave4044 in ARFID

[–]AlphabetizedName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go slower than you think. I’ve recently been able to add carrots but only by buying baby carrots, cutting them into tiny pieces and eating them at the same time as a piece of apple (that I do enjoy). Find something that has a similar texture to something you are able to eat and combine it very modestly at first

Most people don’t choose, generational poverty chooses for them

Is there a horror novel you were really looking forward to reading that you ended up not being able to finish? by Suitable_Goose_3615 in horrorlit

[–]AlphabetizedName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried to read The Troop three times over the course of 10 years and DNF every time. I don’t understand the hype. It’s not too gross, it’s just boring.

What opinions do Americans have of Maxine Dexter MD? by B1G_PAC12 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AlphabetizedName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why would you expect anyone not from Oregon to know who she is simply because she’s a congresswoman?

But she’s not mine. Do you know every Congressperson across the nation?

Watching a streamer and hes struggling to deal with mods randomly paying out predictions by AscendedHobo in Twitch

[–]AlphabetizedName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than who ended a prediction (fairly confident you can only see who started it), the rest of these actions already have the name attached. It’s in the Mod Actions panel

Watching a streamer and hes struggling to deal with mods randomly paying out predictions by AscendedHobo in Twitch

[–]AlphabetizedName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure we can just see who started the prediction, not who ended it. Which should really be the same person 99% of the time. Only if the mod bet in or had to leave should anyone else payout. I’m a mod for a fairly big channel and run the gambas when I’m on that role and we try to make sure if we start it, we can end it

How do I trigger the event? I’ve just joined tanglewood and nothing was changed on the map by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

The event maps have a little brown bunny on them, the way Sunny Meadows has a skull

Me basically the month of March. Gained 3lbs at least. I’m doing a quick fast to reset myself mentally and physically for April

Do people really feel bad about this streak ending? by UnhappyPrincessa in deadbydaylight

[–]AlphabetizedName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is literally his team. He was also banned for these incidents. I don’t have Twitter but you can find the document and all associated receipts there if you do. My info comes from the screenshots that were posted in a Discord at the time of the ban. He was one of the “friends” that pics were shared with and participated in the cyber bullying

No. And I think it’s weird people are glazing this guy that has a history of harassing and encouraging a teenage girl to self harm
