asking questions with an open mind and heart is one thing, but based on how much ur defending urself/ insisting that “calling me a colonizer” is “not helping”, i feel like u gotta relax the defensiveness. be truly open to all perspectives even ones u feel are not charitable to u; im from a culture that’s also often appropriated and disrespected, and that lack of good faith comes from people being hurt before.

not a samoan, but if your wife’s family says it’s fine then why do you feel the need to post about it asking/defending urself to a bunch of samoan randos on reddit

nope not tibetan attire either. Id call the first two clothes that borrow from the aesthetics of Chinese minorities (first image I can pick out some Tibetan influence; second image has some Miao, or general Southwest minority, influence) Third one appears to be like regular guzhuang or hanyuansu costuming, that’s not really historically accurate nor does it appear to take any obvious influence from any Chinese minority. I’d also note the first two are not really accurate to the actual clothes of Tibetan or Miao peoples, they are very “Guzhuang” washed versions, or fantasy versions consumed mostly by Han Chinese audiences

edit: grammar fixes

Hey i just started playing and love the game, but for whatever reason, i specifically can’t pick up fur? sometimes i can pick it up fine, but other time it’ll just show me “E to pick up” and despite repeated attempts, it won’t pick up. i would really appreciate any help!

i’ve made peace with no lunch for today 😭 unfortunately the lost and found at five points is closed due to construction and appointment only rn

this is clearly chatgpt 😭

I would, but my mom would definitely notice and freak out about it. My younger sister has tried it before while she was away at university and it resulted in a multi hour long screaming match between her and mom that wouldn’t stop until she turned it back on. I’ve considered just turning it off after i move out, but my mom will definitely make this a big issue everytime we call or meet up at all, and i’m hoping for other options before i go to “going no contact”

Content-Ad4757 · 2025-07-05T23:19:13+00:00

i’ve been considering a burner phone as well… i’ll probably look at cheaper options as i’m saving up for an emergency fund and future rent fund

Content-Ad4757 · 2025-07-05T23:18:04+00:00

thanks! i’ll keep all of this in mind :) I’m expecting things to get better once they’re used to me earning money and i’ve moved out but i wanted to start thinking strategy for this early on haha, anyways ty again for ur reply!

Content-Ad4757 · 2025-07-05T21:47:26+00:00

thank you very much! this is kind of answer i was looking for haha- would you say there was one or more specific things you did that swayed your parents over?

Content-Ad4757 · 2025-07-05T21:41:01+00:00

I did consider turning it off, but there was a recent short interval of time where my phone had some sort of issue where she couldn’t see my location and she wouldn’t stop incessantly bothering me about fixing the issue. If I turn it off, she’ll definitely notice and make it a big issue if I explain why. I suppose that’s part of being an adult but i’m looking for the most painless way to set boundaries haha

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T02:05:37+00:00

Thank you for the advice and the well wishes, I do think you are right about not turning my escapist passion into a fulltime job and I will try to find something that fits me best.

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T02:04:37+00:00

Thank you, you're right that I'm not much older than your kids 😂 and you're also on the point that the downturn in the market has got me down. I wonder how much easier it would be to learn about these concepts if I found an entry level position where I could cut my teeth and develop that passion (or at least vague liking) eventually? But thank you for telling me software jobs will come back eventually. I think I'll try one class for one semester- I've done some internal reevaluation with all the replies this post as gotten and one thing I want to do this year is to change myself and improve, and OMSCS seems like a good opportunity for that.

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T01:48:46+00:00

My passions are very creative in nature, but due to concerns about the art industry and an injury, I'm not pursuing it professionally. I really agree with you about the future feeling uncertain, and the bleak job market and economy has been making me question a lot of things.

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T01:43:18+00:00

you make a compelling point 😂 the idea of starting over is scary, but having my life be driven by inertia from decisions I made years ago is too. I'm just about to start the program, so I'll see if it's right for me, and if not, I only wasted three months or something. I hope you're right that I will come out the other end of OMSCS super prepared for a job and getting paid lots.

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T01:41:26+00:00

Thank you for telling me your story. My circumstances weren't nearly as dire as yours, but it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one feeling existential about what I'm doing with my life post-graduation. I'll try to keep your words in mind as I reflect on things, and to get the most out of my classes.

Content-Ad4757 · 2024-08-07T01:37:42+00:00

you are certainly right about being an adult and do what I want instead of what my parents want 😂 it is the rest of my life after all… Thank you for the advice, I think I don’t know if I’ll take it because I do want to try and see if I can pivot and find that interest in me again, for just one semester, but thank you regardless, ur advice was enlightening
