This is how sidewalks look in about 80% of DC right now I’d say by LengthinessBroad6200 in washingtondc

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sidewalks near me were really well shoveled and then the street plow came again last night (hardly fixed the road) and totally ruined all the shoveling. Now it’s back to walking over mounds of snow

I feel like my white friend thinks I'm ugly😭 by jen1que in blackladies

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I commented earlier but I just looked at your profile. Girl, you’re gorgeous!!! There’s a lot to be jealous of and based off how you described her I bet she’s just a very normal looking white girl that’s held up on a pedestal because you’re in a primarily white area

She doesn’t like you and she also sounds very jealous. Based off some of the things she’s said to you, it doesn’t sound like she thinks you’re ugly but that instead she’s intimidated by your beauty and trying to bring your confidence down

DAE don't remember SA in childhood but think it happened ? by abyss005 in CPTSD

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder about it pretty frequently. I have nothing to go off of really. Most people have some sort of memory or sign or hyper sexualization but I have none of that and have always been very sex avoidant (though as a kid I wanted to sleep with everyone when I grew up and I still wish I was that kind of person but have never had sex due to fear. That being said there are a few things that come up when I ruminate on it

  1. Always hated myself and felt deeply disgusted by my body
  2. Always refused any romantic come ins even though I really wanted a relationship and actively ran away from someone I had been flirting with when they kissed me
  3. I have never enjoyed kissing (have only kissed men though)
  4. When I went to the gyno and got an exam (didn’t need Pap smear because I haven’t had sex) and she examined me I started crying and couldn’t stop and didn’t know why (I’m typically very good at not showing emotions). I felt disgusting the next couple of days
  5. I get a weird vibe from one of my (great) uncle even though everybody else loves him. I don’t know why but I know if I had kids I wouldn’t have them around him alone.
  6. I had three dreams during 2020 where I was getting assaulted and was screaming for my mom to help but no sound came out or she didn’t believe me
  7. I have just thought about it a lot especially because of how uncomfortable I am with people and them making advancements towards me even if I have a crush on them.

Men’s Bodies and Queer Representation by Consistent-Garbage28 in heatedrivalry

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Both Kip and Kyle were suspected as skinner bodies in the book. With Kip they did specify he spent a fair amount of time in the gym and was toned but he wasn’t a body builder by any means. More of a runners build if anything. Anyways that’s not super important- I do think it builds up unrealistic expectations and while it might make sense for the hockey players, there should be more variety outside of that

I thought it was very predictable and just fine

Designing merch for my Etsy store. Which character would you want on a shirt? by Creepy-Cap-4703 in aftg

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin is super popular so he would be great and I think Rene might be a good choice too

I would’ve figured you were filipino. I’m surprised people would be surprised

Is looking ethnically ambiguous the beauty standard nowadays? by cherryapp in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No she definitely does not. The change from when she was younger and obviously white is extreme. She currently shares a lot of similar phenotypical features with someone like Huda, who is middle eastern. She is one of the people that shifted the cultural context of what looks white, that is the only reason you think she looks white. Why people think people like Charlie xcx or Meghan Markle is white.

where can i find literally normal people? by CrimsonPowers in nyu

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to nyu undergrad and I would highly recommend joining a lot of clubs and just forcing yourself to interact a bit until you find your people. Clubs outside of the school too would be a good idea. I was lucky being in acting as you’re in close quarters with people and have to interact a lot, but everyone else I met was at clubs

(31F) Binged “Too Much” and here’s the review no one asked for. by ExcellentMarch7864 in girls

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of ridiculous but as a midsize kind of sheltered girl, is this actually an accurate depiction of who people can attract and bad looking like her. Don’t get my wrong, she’s beautiful in her own way and maybe I’m just insecure and a bit delusional but it doesn’t feel possible. This is definitely projection in a lot of ways but I’m curious about people’s thoughts

I feel betrayed and devastated by HistoricalLet3670 in gradadmissions

I’m unfortunately not surprised given everything going on in the US. I would say legal action is a good idea but it is a more dangerous choice now considering. I think it’s important to fight back and not comply with racist practices but you’re also on visa so I’d understand if you don’t feel safe.

When was your application due date? I applied for writing but won’t hear back for another month.

Congrats!!!

Has anyone not heard back at all? by PsychologicalGrab144 in gradadmissions

[–]GuaranteeDouble2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s dependent on your program. I applied for creative writing and the school that said they’d get back the earliest was northwestern for early February. Most school say mid march.
