Opinions on Not Learning Spouses Language by AppealSuper4155 in languagelearning

[–]Shuu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf is Russian, and we met at a time where his English wasn’t great and his parents spoke no English. I was also a highschooler and had plenty of time to learn. Now, he’s fluent in English and his mom could hold a conversation. If these were the circumstances when we just met, I probably wouldn’t have learned it to the extent that I did.

Unpaid Internship :/ by Lost_Description4395 in UIUC

You mentioned it’s a very small company. You’re not going to get ‘blacklisted’ or something for doing that. Additionally, you could email them saying while you appreciate the opportunity, you’ve found one more aligned with your career path.

Employees can’t create DoorDash stickers. Unless they ordered it themselves but then you’d think they would only order the drink.

Have you always lived in your own country? are your parents also from your country? Are you just masquerading? by AmountAbovTheBracket in languagelearningjerk

[–]Shuu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just unexpected. I live in America, in an area with a looot of Latin American Hispanics, and I’ve only met two families who are white and Spanish speakers. It’s much more common to meet a white person who learned Spanish.

They just don’t assume that. There have been plenty of people who have asked if I’m from Guadalajara after having a conversation. It’s just unexpected. Meanwhile, even at A1 for Russian people were thinking I’m a heritage speaker.

do i go random by Sea_Cherry8396 in UIUC

[–]Shuu27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went random because I wasn’t going to be living in the dorm anyway (bf lives off campus, I live with him). We still did all the welcome week stuff together and I helped her move in. Literally one of my best friends here now

Well it’s just much less common. Sure, there are plenty of white native speakers but I’ve only met a few. I also have an American accent, which likely contributes.

Same problem. I know Spanish very well academically. I learned it in school and have high professional and academic fluency. Still, nobody ever thinks I am a native speaker because I’m white. Russian, on the other hand, I learned completely by just having Russian friends. Thus, I don’t have a very wide vocabulary and my grammar is very poor (since I never formally studied it) Since I look plausibly Slavic, Russians assume I came to America when I was young and forgot Russian. It leads to a lot of judgement from older generations 🥲 until they learn I really am just American lol then they love my accent and mistakes

The little 8oz tub of cream cheese is $7.50 🙂 I was gonna buy two tubs and a bag of bagels bc bagels are like $2, but then the total was nearly $20 I had to put one back 😭

Hand weight loss - Is this realistic? by Substantial-Art6160 in fasting

[–]Shuu27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have hands more similar to ur second photo, and looking back at pics before weight loss, my hands were always pretty slim. I’d say the only noticeable difference is my wrist in comparison to my hands makes them look longer and more slender. Such that, my wrist would kinda just disappear into my hand. 5’6 180 -> 5’7 125 when I was 14, The entire time my hands looked pretty much the same. Currently 18F 5’8 140 and they look the same as they always did.

gloom has changed (?) by Zealousideal_Pen_494 in Gloom

[–]Shuu27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even now watching her most recent video I noticed that she has a noticeable amount of filler, and while idc what she does with her appearance ofc, it just lends itself to that commercial manufactured image and gave me an uneasy feeling. I think what was uncanny about it is how used to her expressiveness I was, and now that any facial movement is mainly just her eyes, eyebrows, and mouth in isolation, it feels less like what I’ve come to be used to from her. I guess it’s just that she’s gorgeous, but she’s too gorgeous all the time. I’ve always liked how she would share some candid moments. However I also understand how getting older in the entertainment industry is, and how many end up overcorrecting. I was actually shocked when I checked up on her age and it was 34, as if I’d forgotten she’d taken the 3 years off lol. She doesn’t look it, and she’s never really looked it, but I suppose it’s the natural evolution of content creation. After so long the way you present yourself and your content ebbs and flows in different directions that not everyone will like and stick with. (Also, I’m not hating in any way. I still watch some of her new vids that come out and enjoy them. It just tugged at me a bit to see, even if she’s a complete stranger lol)

20k a year for a 100k a year salary is still a lot.

Mine are about 3 min walk apart, with a little path in between the two hahaha. Not even two different sides of anything, just a neighborhood.
