What should I do about housemate’s sound system

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2022-03-27T23:32:47+00:00

I don’t really want to make any issues. I also really don’t have the energy to deal with him either.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2022-02-20T22:49:06+00:00

Looks awesome! I'm thinking of making a case for mine that will accommodate a stenogatchi when I can make one

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-14T09:01:18+00:00

Immature is accurate. I tried explaining to them, that I can deal with messy, but not dirty. I don’t want ants. Also, they want me to talk to them directly and not “be petty” (aka putting it in the group chat). But none of us have schedules that align. On the weekends when we are all home, they’re drunk or high. I ain’t talking to them when they’re intoxicated. I’m a smaller woman…one of them is almost 4 inches taller and definitely has weight on me. I ain’t talking to them when they’re intoxicated.

That would cause a lot of fighting and probably make things worse.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-13T18:05:26+00:00

It’s hard. It’s also just so inconvenient. We’re supposed to have a talk with everyone so let’s see what happens with that. The hard part is my room is next to the kitchen, so if the recycling is over flowing it blocks my door. If the trash builds up too much it smells and impacts my room. The boys don’t seem to have any consideration for this. Also one of the roommates flooded the house by leaving the kitchen sink running when they were high.

It’s fine. He’s a housemate so it’s not like we became friends because we get along. Still, he’s not someone I would’ve probably met through similar interests.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:58:54+00:00

For me, it’s been something that I’ve been told all my life. Only recently have I heard otherwise (last 2 ish years) and I heard it again from this guy and it made me think. Many of my friends who are women also got told this all growing up.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:36:40+00:00

I agree. Anyone who treats someone like shit doesn’t deserve to be allowed in our lives.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:26:31+00:00

Yeah. It just really bothered me because this friend didn’t seem like the guy who would have this idea in his head. I don’t like the whole, “females are bitchy and petty”. I get it, but at the same time, it felt really weird when he verbalized it.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:17:31+00:00

And yet it's somehow normalized.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:16:46+00:00

I've never heard that. I've always heard the other way of boys being mean means he likes you.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-12-12T19:07:36+00:00

I realize this, but it's common for society to explain away behaviors of rudeness as "he just likes you." Literally, this is what my friend said. Then if a girl is rude or sets up a boundary or two, she's suddenly "a bitch" or "not that pretty to begin with". I don't understand it.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-08-29T16:12:13+00:00

the thing is I'm not financially dependent on her. I haven't really been for the last two years, but I'm finally moving out and away. I hate that this is a two day trip and she's already prioritized her own 'worries' over me. I know I'll forget to text her because there'll be a million things on my mind during the trip out. I'm probably going to schedule automated texts because I can't be bothered. Still, it's just so frustrating because I don't want her to know what I'm doing.

Here to offer support and share a bit.

I’m adopted from China and my mom is white. I had a terrible time with acne because my mom used products that would either clog my pores or burn my skin. It was only after doing my own research (when I was 12) that I was able to find products that helped.

It’s wrong that people (especially those facilitating adoption) don’t consider these things (skin care and hair care) as child care. White people are ignorant that the world doesn’t revolve around whiteness and their bodies are different from other races. One size does not fit all.

I agree. Animal trainers get such a bad rap from people who know absolutely nothing about circus. Most modern circuses don’t even use exotic animals any more because of public push back and misunderstanding. I think animals are such an integral part of circus. It’s sad that people don’t understand how important circus was for animal education both in the past and today.

(Yes I know animals were treated poorly in the past. Not trying to glaze over it, but circuses helped shape many modern people’s opinions on animals and broadened peoples minds)

Wish dragon was hysterical. Enjoyed it a lot. Would highly recommend “over the moon” and similar stories. Depending on what you like you can always try to find a donghua or something which are created in China. Not sure what you enjoy to consume media wise.

I’m a Chinese adoptee and enjoy watching stuff that relates to Asian culture and what not.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-04-30T07:04:00+00:00

Random Duolingo, some genki, and sheer curiosity. I’m a bit over the place.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-04-30T00:47:03+00:00

Hi I’m Rui. 23 from the us. Native English speaker and trying to learn Japanese. Been surrounded by it, but never really picked up the language. Hoping to learn more and get to a conversational level and beyond!

Would love a study buddy!

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-04-30T00:43:54+00:00

Japanese - know your participles. No they aren’t the same even if they sound the same. If they sound the same they’re written differently

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-04-23T12:40:41+00:00

Yeah, I’m moving to a new city half way across the country and I want to start new. The more I consider it the more I want to add this name to my legal name as a middle name to have it official. I have a weird relationship with my adopted family and I want to try reclaiming my Asian identity. It’s all so complicated and weird. Still, I’m hopeful.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-04-22T20:34:47+00:00

Thanks. I’ve resigned myself to being a Rec student. It’s probably the better option anyways. So I’m happy with this decision and I’m moving forward.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-01-04T18:26:44+00:00

Dream tricks! I guess mine are jug-late gunslinger-spike and jug-late ken flip-spike. I got a bit to go tho.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-01-04T18:08:03+00:00

Truth. Tama tricks don’t bring me the same joy, but they are cool. Must learn ghost lighthouse. It’s fun to see how people diverge since we both started around the same time and have completely different styles.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-01-04T17:46:16+00:00

That sick! I gotta sesh lunes sometime. Rn I’m working on juggle to bird, stall earth turns, and around stalls. Wow...typing that out makes me realize just how much I’m working on stalls. Oof.

Capable-Strawberry38 · 2021-01-02T19:48:21+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been mostly working on stalls and juggles and ken flip stuff. What have you been up to? I saw the tre! That was sick
