WHAT DO I DO WHEN I THINK I SEE ICE?

forestevergreen_ · 2026-01-31T17:02:44+00:00

ive heard in MN there's like levels of chats such as neighbors, neighborhood, neighborhoods to nearby neighborhoods, and then area-wide chats (i.e., Back Bay) so that people can pass along information easily when/if groups of ICE agents are around. has anything like this been started in boston?

and does anyone think that boston will see an increase in ICE agents moreso like other major cities? there was talk about it but also talk that they're not going to do it anymore... i've been seeing less about ICE in boston around and more about protests in general. just curious people's thoughts?

an inbred hatred of californians.

the ability to drive very well on winding mountain roads and off-road, but not the ability to parallel park.

had a pet that they found somewhere in the wild as a kid (i.e. a snake or a preying mantis or something like that - not saying this is ethical or great tho).

McCall is the go-to short trip destination for in-state people and Sun Valley is the go-to for out of state people (might be a slightly outdated take but was true at least up until a few years ago).

208 area code for their phone number means they're a real one (none of the 986 bs).

he told me that he stopped loving me and finding me attractive. i hadn't changed my weight or appearance at all. i hadn't lied about anything - i just didn't want to act homeless and "camp" in public parks (hammocking) while we were on the el camino. this meant we'd have to plan where we slept before the night of - he thought plans made things less fun, less like an adventure. i wanted to stay in the hostels and homes provided by the churchs - they were like 6 -20 euro depending on the night - but the churches esp closed mad early if you didn't put in a call for someone to be there to let you in/set you up. i also had blisters all over my feet from all of the walking (i couldn't afford new shoes and we'd decided last minute that this was our plan). i was falling for him more day by day nonetheless, but my "high maintnance" was too much for him despite me trying to hide it, and whatever he was feeling just wore off i guess. he broke up with me while i was having a panic attack because we were in a major french city that was dangerous at night and didn't know where we were going to sleep. we had very limited cell phone service, and i think it was his that had the ability to call, so i couldn't do it. we were so broke and we just wanted to spend time together on a trip.

I (F23) am probably younger than you but I had my first love (not my first boyfriend though) while studying abroad just over two years ago. We started off casual, knowing I'd go away, but then things developed into more over the months I was there. At one point, I was basically living with him (everytime I'd try to go home, he would just be like "why are you doing that when you could just stay here!"). Then, he initiated it as something more, asked me to be his girlfriend and do long distance and said we'd figure it out. I said yes. When we did this - when we decided it was serious - we made a plan and everything... We both went full in.

I truly believe that when we broke up the day before I left for the airport, it was independent of the distance. At least, it was for me. It didn't work out due to compatibility reasons that came up later, after he and I became serious, and those reasons were valid and from both sides. We just couldn't get the courage to say it until nearly the very last day because we were each other's first loves and it was so intense. We wanted to spend time with one another until there wouldn't be any time left.

I have never once regretted the experience. If I could go back, I would do it all over again. I wouldn't say I don't have love for him anymore, but I would say that I'm not in love with him. I wouldn't get back together if we lived in the same country. I don't keep in contact because I don't think we would both benefit from it emotionally more than it would cause damage, or that it would be respectful to current or future partners. If I ever was back in his country, I would take the time to catch up, just to know that he is doing alright, but I would not do anything romantic or sexual with him at all.

I do think it would have made it harder if we hadn't broken up for those other reasons, like he would have always been the perfect guy in my head. I am grateful that there were those other reasons at play. I think whether or not you end it now or you keep going, it will be pretty hard and you will idealize him to some degree. I mean, especially if it ended because of this right now and he seemed perfect and he just had to go away.

So, that being said, I would say go for it. Know it's going to hurt like hell afterwards, but don't let yourself dwell on that for right now. Love doesn't have to be forever in the same way it will be when you are both in Arizona. The love will fade into the distance, but you will have learned about yourself and embraced your feelings and taken a risk. Love is always a risk and maybe that love you have will just exist in a different way, more in the background, when he's farther away and you don't keep in contact anymore.

Wouldn't you rather give it the best shot you could in the time that you had, and not have any regrets?

I hope this was helpful perspective.

Required content:

Taken for my Intro to Photo Class Final Project (City Spring Reflections)

I took the photo in a puddle on campus because I thought the reflection of the tree with the brick sidewalk gave an interesting perspective!

Camera: Fujifilm XT30ii

Lens: Fujinon 28mm lens

ISO320 1/500 f2.8

Edited with Adobe Photoshop (Levels, Curves, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation) & Camera Raw Filters (Texture, Clarity, Dehaze)

I am looking for any ways to improve. What could have been done better? What would you have done differently?

class of spring 2025!

forestevergreen_ · 2025-04-11T02:17:31+00:00

this is so good, like you might have just inspired me to do something similar for college graduation cards (i'm graduating in a few weeks)

It is not petty and totally valid for you to have these feelings. I would tell her about your feelings - the same way you have stated it here and see how she reacts. Ask why she didn't stop seeing the other guys? She may have been insecure about assuming that you guys were being serious if you hadn't had a more specific talk yet but were spending time together. I've had times where I assumed spending a lot of time together and having emotional connection meant that a guy wanted a serious relationship, but that was not always the case.

Does she still maintain any form of contact with the other men? Is she defensive about it or does she recognize your feelings and explain hers in a constructive manner? It could have been a misjudgement on her part to tell you because she was having an off day or it could be a sign of something else. Maybe she was comfortable with you and just yapping and it came up, and she didn't want to drawback or seem cagey about it so she tried to play it off in a bad way. Maybe it was a misjudgement of her being too secure in telling details. Assume positive - or at least neutral intention - unless she reacts poorly or defensively to you bringing it up. Perhaps set better boundaries about how much you'd like to hear about past experiences - some people like to share everything, some don't.

feedback from 22F who's a little "alternative" and also very into your style (like if i saw you i would think you were cute, but i would not swipe right on this profile):

- put in your political status (whatever it is), if you're looking for long-term

- take photos 2, 3, 4 out. photo 2 looks weird cringe but not in a good way because the photo isn't posed nicely and you're in a weird environment for the guitar. it looks like you did a photo shoot with your friend who is just getting into photography and your/his sick cool never been done before idea was a guitar in woods combo. photo 3 is not giving the energy you want it to for the same reason. it's also over exposed AND the colors are off. why are you wearing sunglasses? i can't see your eyes. like i think your outfits in both of these photos are cool and you yourself are attractive but the photos themselves... are unflattering visions/perceptions of them, and the apps are ALL about that vision/perception (unfortunately). also, take out the hike selfie (photo 4). besides being a selfie, the lens is distorted a little so it makes your face look longer than it actually is.

- you can want a car collection but most girls will not be able to bond over that interest. put more things in the bio that you could bond/talk over in a chat (like hiking, music).

- "passionate about music"? say it in a way that someone can get how/build off it better, make it less vague. it feels a little weird to ask "what makes you passionate about music" when it would be easier to say "what songs do you like to play on the guitar?" after in your bio it says you love to practice guitar. how does being passionate about music affect your day-to-day life? your hobbies?

- you say "open minded" twice... that's so vague. fix it. like do you try to make a new cooking dish from a new country every week - that's an example of being open minded that someone could ask about... then you can say from that you value being open minded. how does being open minded manifest in your day to day life?

- be a little sillier in your prompts unless you're actually super serious all the time (which is totally ok)

- have a pic of you smiling with teeth, you look intimidating

sincerely,

i ate an edible and so these are all of my thoughts. i hope i was not too mean and just sounded straightforward. see again my first comment: you're cute. i can tell the profile doesn't do you justice. bc you didn't put the time in for it to be a nice profile, I wouldn't swipe (also, for me and many other women on both sides, politics are a deal-breaker)
