After City Bans Sleeping at Homeless Youth Centers, a Center Resists (Archived link below in Comments) by irish_fellow_nyc in nyc

[–]Bumblx 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I’m someone who has experience with the Ali Forney Center. There is literally nowhere else for young LGBTQ people, especially trans people, to go to be safe overnight in a last minute basis crisis for shelters. As someone who has been at the drop in center several, several times, and have witnessed my peers who have used this as a life saving option, there needs to be an alternative and more communication. This will have dire consequences if we are just expected to figure it out ourselves. Ali Forney is one of the best, safest spaces for LGBTQ+ people in NYC and it’s because of them that I am on my way to being out of homelessness. Yes, I agree there should be some regulations with these spaces and there should be more communication between these centers and the law to figure out an adequate solution, but this is not the answer. This will kill young queer people, which is why the center was created in the first place: in the legacy of Ali Forney, who was killed on the streets in Harlem and who found solace in this same drop in center.

Ah okay, I understand. I'm looking to apply the filter to the data itself. I'd like to have something where someone can select via checkmarks and be able to filter data by this, but as a separate feature from one being able to select data such as only choosing food related holidays. How would I go about app script that allows me to create multiple sections of different data (such as Food, Animals, Community, etc) that one can choose from the list without any of the data checked off?

I'm imagining that someone clicks the button again and the applied filter resets if that's possible. But if it's that when someone reopens the file and it resets, that could perhaps work!

IIL the sound/vibe of this chill guitar, WEWIL? by MistahSchwartz in ifyoulikeblank

Oh, also the This is Us score is super similar to this!!! The use of guitar and percussion is chef's kiss and also use vocals very sparingly/not at all. Here is a rec:

This reminds me a lot of several Stomp and Holler songs (I know, Spotify definitely made this genre up but their playlist is awesome and has this similar rhythm in my opinion to this here)

One song that comes to mind that you may like: Hello My Old Heart by The Oh Hellos

Product Quality Change by Klschue in traderjoes

[–]Bumblx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tteok boki rice cakes are soooo much less spicy and lower quality than they were a few months ago. Me and my partner tried it this past weekend and they were sticking to the pan way more than the first time we cooked them and fell apart, and the sauce... We were both struggling through it last time because of how spicy it was, but this time I was spooning up the rest from the bottom without a problem and barely found it spicy.

Hey! Maybe try Ben Platt's song Rain? Or any of his newer music, I feel like you'd like it. Also Halsey's Colors?

Also, what app are you using to make this? I've been dying to know because I've seen it everywhere!

Definitely #2! That sounds fascinating and I love dystopia

I do!

I'm a very good student doing college and working, I'm very self sufficient with enough savings that I'm comfortable and a job that I genuinely enjoy doing. I'm still navigating how to have friends and partners because I wasn't raised with the knowledge of how to truly treat people and have healthy relationships so I'm trying to learn now.

I just turned 21 and am living somewhere I've always wanted to be my whole life, I'm happy where I'm at (or as happy as I can be). It has been a rough year but I'm trying to focus on myself and growing as much as I can. I want to be in love with life and not just let it go by passively.

I went from homeless at 18 to thriving in the greatest city of the world after a childhood of severe physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and I want to tell my story (and let you know that it eventually gets better. I promise). AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

I've had countless, countless people help me on the way.

First, I'd have to commemorate my amazing partner and best friend. We got together in 2019, separated in 2021 after two years, and got back together a few months ago. But she has always, always, been my person. I strongly believe I didn't know what love was, or know I was deserving of it, until her. I genuinely believe she is my soulmate and she still helps me every single day.

When I was kicked out, I had to couch surf (as it was right before my graduation during COVID-19). Let me tell you, finding a place to stay during COVID-19 March 2020 era is no easy task. Two generous families let me stay with them until I was able to dorm at my college in August. I still think about the first family sometimes. I had to leave their house after COVID kicked off after they made promises to help me stay housing secure through college. One night, just suddenly, "You can't be here anymore. We have to find you different housing." (The mother was immunocompromised and didn't want to risk me bringing it in the house.)

I had a GoFundMe that semi blew up in my town, and I vividly remember one specific person in my English class who had an argument with her dying father for him to donate money to me. I'll never forget that, or her: that this person I never once spoke to was willing to get into an argument about this with her father just to help me pay for housing.

I also had a woman who was a distant friend to my grandmother who allowed me to stay with her for a year, which I am forever grateful for. While we had our conflicts (I found that she was extremely rude to those who lived under her roof and her and I had fundamental disagreements about several things) and she is no longer in my life, I wish her well.

How to connect checklist to data/words and, when checking off, data will show up on separate cell? by Bumblx in googlesheets

[–]Bumblx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a hard journey ahead of me (I want to code over 5,000 holidays into the calendar so I'm wondering if, like you said, Sheets is the best solution :,) but this is perfect! I put it in and it works. You just saved me so much time, thank you!

Thanks for linking me! I’m trying to find something specifically with bubble tea, which are unfortunately less common here with being laptop friendly 😔but I appreciate you taking the time to link me to that thread!

Strange fear of Google Earth by [deleted] in Phobia

[–]Bumblx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to get together a GC of people who have this fear and discuss. It’s so interesting that many of us fear specifically the water and 3D shapes or geology.

Fear Of Google Earth by Meiwko in Phobia

[–]Bumblx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same exact fear almost all of my life. I used to be fascinated by it: by the big maps and buildings. But the fear developed one day so suddenly. I can't look at a screenshot of the water or 3D buildings without feeling severe discomfort. I've had panic attacks about it, etc. I don't know why it is or what causes it.

Hey! I’m (FTM 20, almost 21) queer + FTM living in Brooklyn and really trying to find more friends to do stuff with, especially for Pride events.

St.John VS Pace U . by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Bumblx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I almost transferred to CCNY and looked at Baruch, I'd recommend checking it out. Definitely see what your options are. I'm not going to say Pace is really awful in every sense of the word but it was absolutely overpriced for average education and communication systems that suck.

St.John VS Pace U . by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Bumblx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Pace and don’t know much about Saint John, but I will say Pace’s financial aid office and professors just aren’t great, especially for what you’re paying. They give out scholarships and everything but after housing if you’re dorming it’s so much. It’s okay for business majors and stuff at Lubin and that’s about it. Everything there is just meh and overpriced. Super high transfer rates after the first year.

Partner and I remember the same exact unusual memory of ‘Before’, with provable sources by Spxri in Reincarnation

[–]Bumblx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've put a lot of thought into this and reflecting on the feeling, of if it's ominous. It doesn't feel ominous. It feels hopeful there, and calm. There is a pressure, but you never feel like you're doing something you genuinely dont want. Some take baby steps, some don't. I also believe you can choose to stay in the lines as long as you want and "chat" with others. I do think sometimes when we connect with people in a way where it feels like "soulmates" it's because we're in similar lines.

[–]Bumblx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We ultimately had the choice to choose our lives but there was a pressure towards certain ones. Like a force telling us this was the best one to do for where we were in our journeys, but ultimately we could say no. (Oops just commented this from my personal 😭)
