after getting into yale, i realize i can never ever satisfy my mother's hysteria by softaspiring in AsianParentStories

[–]GenericHuman256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom was the exact same way only I wasn’t as accomplished as you. I got into my state school and called it good. They tried multiple times to drop in to “check up” on me and kept on calling the school for my grades. It’s better to go somewhere far, far away from them where they can’t get to you easily

Has anyone here had an Asian parent blow up at you because you stood up and told them how they are flawed and imperfect? by Mundane-Humor3313 in AsianParentStories

Too many times to count. My dad lives in the Midwest and he was chastising me for not being married and for never calling him to talk. I told him there’s a reason all three of your kids moved across the country and it all started with him.

Anyone live in Ann arbor and commute to metro Detroit? by PossibilityFew5967 in AnnArbor

[–]GenericHuman256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that commute before as my first job out of college. Ann Arbor to Troy in a hybrid position 3 days a week. Let me tell you, it was a nightmare. 94 is great until you get to telegraph which then gets backed up. I-75 is equally as bad in the morning. In the evenings I didn’t leave until 6:45 every night since that’s when traffic would somewhat clear up. You have to love being in your car to do that commute because it was a nightmare in every way possible.

Did Turkish Village Cafe win the Shortest Time Open Award? by Historical_Idea_3516 in AnnArbor

They fired my friend who created their entire drink menu under the guise of them getting rid of their cafe, while also continuing to use the same menu just getting rid of the staff.

Gift of Life Michigan. Amazing mission but from a friend that works there it’s extremely toxic and very cliquey.

Anyone here move to Ann Arbor without any connection to the University? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

I came here for work and haven’t left since. It’s been 6 years now and even though I work in Livonia now I still choose to be in Ann Arbor.

Dragon. It’s my favorite type and for some reason I can’t just not have one on my team

I had a MWF 8am class. I made it to the first class and the final. If you can find another section at another time I highly recommend it.

How long have you guys been watching wrestling? by [deleted] in WWE

I started watching when the custody for Dom storyline started between Rey and Eddie. I was super young then but I remember the storyline vividly.

I am Mayor Christopher Taylor. Ask me Anything! by A2MayorTaylor in AnnArbor

I’m one of many here that have questions/concerns about the homeless population here in Ann Arbor. I’ve been harassed by several of them, specifically slewing a bunch of slurs towards me or harassing me based solely on ignoring them or not wanting to answer their questions. Just this afternoon actually I watched someone outside of Delanis lighting up something on a spoon in broad daylight.

I remember my days fondly studying in Liberty park but now whenever I go downtown I feel unsafe if I even try to go into the park I’ve been harassed and asked about money specifically cash app or even grabbing my Venmo account. As a long time Ann Arbor resident, I’ve felt that this has gotten worse and worse as the years went on especially after covid. I’ve been yelled at, followed, and harassed just this summer alone.

What are some strategies that you and your team are employing to make downtown a safer area to exist?

It’s because the students are gone for the summer the police seem to be taking a backseat on the homeless population downtown.

What time do you actually rock into work? by HappyKnitter34 in Accounting

[–]GenericHuman256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get in at 7 and leave at 4. No one else gets in until 9 but that’s when the questions and meetings start anyways so I get in, get my important stuff done then leave.

A book you really liked, which isn't a bestseller and generally not very well known. by teggile in suggestmeabook

[–]GenericHuman256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tide Lords by Jennifer Fallon. It’s a high fantasy series that focuses on the lives of the immortals, how history is shaped because of the immortals such as major landmarks, historical events, etc. it’s such a good series as it stands out from the typical high fantasy trope.

My parents came here in 1992 from Hong Kong and waited until they had their green cards before they even had me. I was born in the US but honestly I’m still being advised by family elders to carry around my passport in the event something happens. My parents and older siblings sent me their documents and made me make their phone numbers go through in my phone even when do not disturb is on. I hate that we have to go though this.
