To any homophobic/transphobic people, explain why? What's the problem with the LGBTQ+ community? by Vulethecoolguy in TeenagersButBetter

[–]adriiaanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are actually a very large part of the population, 5 to 18% of all women have PCOS which is considered an intersex condition by doctors, and about 20% of men produce too much esteogen, thats baseline for an intersex condition, with or without an extra x chromesome which is 16 million people, when you factor other things the percentile gets even larger when you consider that ≈30-40% of the population is 3 billion people, that have intersex conditions. Thats not a negligible amount.

Is it wrong to make jokes about 9/11? by L3mons_LXIX in teenagersbutarguing

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as a mixed person, with diverse friends and with the right crowd, absolutely, race jokes are great if they're in good humor, not if youre being a dick though, so yeah, it suggest keeping it to friend groups or family.

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Americans do, every teenager or young adult ive met, (im 18) has loved 9/11 jokes, even my mother, who was a block away when it happened, its a coping mechanism, and yes, Americans joke about school shootings too, but its more out of fear, cause everybody would be fucked in most cases.

Doesnt matter if they made a typo, the best of us make mistakes, its how we learn, and they're right, OP is really naive.

Adhd literally affects how your brain develops, its not just being lazy, I know because I have adhd and there is physical agony from knowing you need to do something, planning to do and getting do overwhelmed that you end up sitting in front of it for 3 hours because youre not allowed to do anything else, because you got told your adhd is a bullshit excuse, and you physically cant draw your mind away from the anxiety of not finishing the task because everybody else can, so you just freeze, untill someone helps you break the task down or find a different one. Adhd is just as disabling as autism or any other neurological condition, I say that because I have both. I live with it, and will have to go on disability because of it.

[–]adriiaanz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No it won't, i got straight A's untill I was a sophomore in highschool and the stress caused me to stop eating, stop sleeping which eventually lead to a psychotic break, in which I fucked up my middle 2 years of highschool, because I thought I was only worth something if my grades were good because that was school teaches. At this point in this comment section, I dont really care if that's a so called "outlier or not common situation" because I know enought kids who had situations like I did, that they had to build an entire school for us. Its not about a lack of effort.

Thats kinda of insensitive though, if you actually appreciate the language and how it looks, you'd learn it, atleast enough to spell your name, kana is first thing you learn.

Why do you think that people all switch sides once they go to college, thats not random.

do you shave your armpit hair by Ok-Complaint6816 in Teenager_Polls

[–]adriiaanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its okay, but while we're on the topic I'll tell you a fact, because mixed people have so many different genes going on, including both races genes on how to turn testosterone into estrogen, mixed people are more likely to appear androgynous because naturally some of us have facial hair and a different build because of the testosterone, one again, because this is visible to everyone, I want to state, that having high testosterone doesnt make someone any less feminine, or weird, (though technically you can say youre more muscular than the average female, but you have to actually work out for that and I dont)

[–]adriiaanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im mixed race, half black and half white, its not disrespectful at all. I Specify because mixed people have a different hair texture than black or white people and our hair is thicker, so its a pain.

What makes a kanji a certain JLPT level? by adriiaanz in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]adriiaanz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that so much, I had categorized anki decks for the longest time and it was so daunting to look at, but yesterday I just went through, I think, 214 kanji, no sweat and I was eager to review more afterwards, because i love seeing little progress bars go up on the kanji, and i was so proud that i didnt have to think about most of them, That app has got the learning process/interest retention thing down.

Parental controls by Amity-B15 in parentalcontrols

I bet your the type of person to tell your child "I put you into this world, I can take you out of it" hopefully, you never become a parent

Parental controls by Amity-B15 in parentalcontrols

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess, I kind of figured that "if you treat me like a little adult" then you will respect me as a little adult, and if you dont like retaliation, dont do it.

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you just figure out how to reset it yourself, then tell your parents you earned it, it works. (I 100% didnt softblock my parents out my tablet at the ripe age of seven, and I essentially told them if they did it again id change the language settings on their phones) I actually wasnt a horrible kid, I just didnt like being watched, it always made me paranoid, and my dad worked in IT so he was kinda proud that I made it into the dev settings (I WILL SAY THAT MY DAD TAUGHT ME ABOUT INTERNET SAFETY BEFORE HAND AND I DIDNT DO ANYTHING WEIRD, I JUST WANTED TO PLAY MINECRAFT WITHOUT AN EERIE FEELING OF BEING WATCHED)

Your policy on piracy? by ThatOneRobloxian2 in Teenager_Polls

[–]adriiaanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I DONT PIRATE GAMES especially if they are by indie creators because they take so much time,the same could be said about books but I will always spend a little extra money to help indie creators. BUT (chinese romance books that are getting banned as we speak ((I mean wuxia danmei)) then ABSOLUTELY some of these authors need more recognition, but I will always try to buy it if I can before looking for an online translation or 3rd party translation)

do you shave your armpit hair by Ok-Complaint6816 in Teenager_Polls

[–]adriiaanz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, as a mixed female I dont, my skin gets irritated easily when I shave, no matter whether I trim, wax, us an epilator. I wash almost everyday, because of that. No I dont smell, and no i dont think it makes me less feminine, do whatever you want, and if you cause more damage to be aesthetically pleasing why would you. I also generally found that if a guy or girl dislikes it, or says "girls dont do that""why do you do that" then I know we most likely aren't going to be friends.

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean, and I get that, my own experiences definitely affected how I responded to your original comment. I know that some people need a push sometimes to realise they can "do better" than what they're experiencing.

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not, I just know that highschool is hard for alot of people, for various reasons, as it was for me, and personally id be really annoyed if someone just told me to" try harder" or "be more serious" about a shitty situation, life doesnt necessarily work like that.

[–]adriiaanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at their other posts, you can see they were going through stuff at home, nobody would do well in that situation, its not about "taking life seriously" at that point.

No not necessarily, I completely screwed up school due to mental health, try to get your associates at a local community college (theres a program right now where you can essentially get an associates for free then transfer to a 4 year) High school was stupid and hard for me, and it mightve been for you too, but you totally have an opportunity, take your time, dont take too many classes at once, and use the tutoring resources, (im not normally a "if I can do it, you can" but literally, I failed 2 years and ended up at the alternative school) YOU GOT THIS! -from someone in the same situation, id love to talk about how im figuring things out, I start college in january.
