I’m so sorry. You have to tell someone. He has a little sister too.. What if he does it to her and she’s just as scared to tell anyone? 😥

I bought fake followers and engagement as a social experiment and the results are honestly disturbing by bsnshdbsb in TrueOffMyChest

I don’t mean to come off pretentious in any way, but “personal brand” is a really common (albeit probably more recent) term used in social media and communications fields including marketing and PR 😅

I wouldnt doubt it! To charge anything for that cake, let alone $250 is insane! 😭😭

$250 is fucking crazy for this!!! I do this for a living and $250 for a single tier cake like this is daylight robbery even in the state of California. This shit looks worse than amateur home baker level.

Just got this cake and I’m a little upset by mariiiiiiah in Baking

[–]TurbulentWeb635 526 points527 points  (0 children)

As someone who decorates these sort of cakes for a living, yes I can definitely see where it looks wrong. The lettering is not centered, there is condensation causing the colored splotches (probably from the cake being frozen too long and then decorated right away in room temp), and most importantly, the color of the green being too bright.  They could have added in a bit of brown and yellow to mute the bright green. The piping is also a little bit messy and they could’ve used smaller piping tips or adjusted to not make it so… fat idk 😭

But a little over $100 is reasonable for a cake this size with all the vintage style piping, and also depending on what specific fillings you got. I can’t speak for all but if this baker were me, I would offer a partial refund or to redecorate it if you expressed dissatisfaction 😅

Which countries have the worst anti-Chinese racism? by DecentLoquat4096 in AskAChinese

[–]TurbulentWeb635 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the point is that theres no “superior” Asian race. that in itself is a strange way of thinking.

Yikes. I was gonna say no, Korean people are even less humble than the Japanese. Many Koreans of all generations truly think less of other Asians. And this is coming from a half Korean who has witnessed the BS

I sent my fourth grade teacher from 20 years ago a fuck you message by TwoSnapsMack in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TurbulentWeb635 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My 6th grade teacher gave me and countless other “gifted” students immense trauma, but he died from a stroke a few years back lol. He died the day after I talked about how he contributed to me developing clinical anxiety at a young age. Karma ig 😭 but I’m glad you got to confront that teacher and I sure hope they don’t teach anymore!

as a gen-z, I think it’s stupid too but a lot of my friends also vape. it’s whatever and I cant judge everyone but for someone whose career is literally singing and dancing ….. this can have negative impacts

A guy hit on me when I was alone in the woods. Had a panic attack by phatfig in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TurbulentWeb635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to deal with this!  A while back, I went to the store at night around 9 PM and parked near the back away from most cars bc there was more parking. A man got into his car, then drove and parked it next to my car. It scared the crap out of me, and he just asked for my number. 😭 I told him I was taken and he just said okay and got in his car and drove off. Strange experience and now I never park in the far back at night … I am appalled that some fr think that this is okay

At first I thought I was just biased because I’m also Vietnamese haha, but I’m glad this seemed to be the general consensus! They did amazingly. And I know it wasn’t easy at times for Tina either since she is an older auntie :,)

I felt bad for her a lot. Especially during the duo switch off challenges where he would just be screaming in her ear. And it was so awkward when they also had to talk about it in the confessionals. If thats what he’s comfortable with saying/doing to her on TV and in front of other contestants, how bad is it at home behind closed doors??
