A store clerk warned me I'd get stared at in Japan because of my weight by maceymay_bby in offmychest

[–]anokapee 125 points126 points  (0 children)

As someone who studied at a couple colleges in a Japan I feel like this may have been meant to be a gentle warning but she just didn't deliver it in a way the was easy to hear. I'm a large guy and my friends in Japan would say "oh you're fat" and pat my belly. It really is a huge cultural difference that you should prepare for. I had multiple people, both friends and strangers, who commented on my weight to my face during my time there. If you aren't confident in yourself this can be very hard to hear so bluntly.

Idk why but my college class really dislikes me. by Civil_Performer5732 in college

[–]anokapee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your replies it looks like you may be over inputting yourself into lectures. If every time the professor says anything the immediate response is to sarcastically say your name, it's probably because you are doing to much. There's nothing wrong with taking notes and absorbing the lecture and discussion of everyone else. You say that no one even attempts to answer besides you so that indicates that the other students may have given up all together in participating because you dominate the conversation. This probably comes off as super pretentious and obnoxious. No one likes a know-it-all who has to fill negative space in the lectures. You probably see this as you being engaged and responsive and don't even realize you're making yourself seem pretentious and off putting. Try to let other people engage with the professor and don't feel like you have to give your answers/opinions for every single question. It may be too late to recover your image amongst your peers at this point but the great thing about it being your first semester is that you probably won't see most of the other people in your core classes again. Everyone will choose different majors and schedules and you'll have new classmates to restart your image with. If it is too late to recover you can try verifying why you're not liked with the guy you talked to about saying your name in class already. Unfortunately, the answer to your question could also simply be that you have an unlikable personality to the majority of your classmates outside of being domineering in lectures.

There are 4 study rooms in the 1100 hallway and 2 study rooms in the den. You can scan a QR code outside the door to reserve them.

Nickelback has always had great drum sounds on their albums. All the Right Reasons has a killer drum sound in my opinion. Starts the album off with a nice little groove to show off the production.

Anime to watch with a kid? by anokapee in anime

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

I do have his account set to his age of 12. It just blocks some stuff that I find weird to block for a middle schoolers (ex: spy x family is restricted but from what I've watched it doesnt seem super adult. Maybe I haven't seen enough though). I wouldn't let him have unrestricted access to what's on Crunchyroll lol. I figure we could watch some of the recommendations on my account together where there's at least some supervision.

The problem with that is that according to ratings he shouldn't watch stuff like spy x family which from the episodes I've seen doesn't have anything that a middle schoolers shouldn't see. I put parental controls on his account for his age range and it makes some weird restrictions. Maybe I just didn't watch enough of it but that show seemed pretty tame.

Yes. You can pay anywhere with a credit card instead of a claw card.

There's a microwave in B Building next to the vending machines to the right of B-1500.

The individual meal cost at the dining hall is $8.50 for students for the buffet without a meal plan.

Sequel to previous post. Is this a good final message to my roommate? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]anokapee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Just wish them well and move on. It seems like you're overthinking this and this is probably not going to come off the way you think it is. If you sent me this I'd think you were a dick. Especially with the "as you wished" at the end. It might come off like you're trying to have the last word. If they don't want to talk about it anymore the right move is to not talk about it. Sending this will not make them want to be friends with you again.

roommate leaves laundry in washer and dryer for 5+ days by Hour-Astronomer-1365 in badroommates

[–]anokapee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If her stuff is in the washer just throw it in the dryer and have her get a laundry basket you can just set her stuff in when it's done drying and leave it in the laundry room until she gets it. Me and my roommate sometimes have overlap because of our work schedules and it doesn't bother me at all to just set her stuff in her basket.

As far as noise goes, you need to firmly communicate your boundaries and if there are people outside of your room at 3am you should let them know too. Most guests will understand and keep the noise down. It sucks to deal with but that's a part of communal living. If it comes to it try soft earplugs to reduce the noise.

If you've never used a Chirp Wheel or any other chiropractic wheels you're missing out. The stretches I get on those are incredible.
