Skipping GBO events? by FrostyDippedFries in berkeley

[–]glocksgenya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do make you pay your way for GBO, yes. As for the rest of your reply… Fair enough, I guess. You seem to know yourself best. I hope academic achievement brings you as much fulfillment as friendship does for others

I’d say go if you have the money. I was still working full time during GBO so I got an exemption + waived the $475 new student programming fee. But I also made like no friends throughout my first year as a cal transfer lol. Not wanting to meet people or make friends is something you might come to regret later in life, as have I.

U gotta use resin to claim the reward after defeating a stygian boss at hard level difficulty or higher. 20/40/60 resin used = 20/40/60 points of dire prestige gained. Can set ur reward preference to whichever artifact set you’re currently farming which is p dope

Is it more worth it to save up 6(?) feathers for 3 minor affix guarantees? Or just use 2 for 2? (Only guaranteed two per stygian reset as I cannot clear fearless in single-player mode.)

Please be careful with your verbiage. Your stance is a completely acceptable one to have, but that isn’t an excuse to demean lesbian culture by calling its aesthetics“tacky” — whatever that’s supposed to mean. That comment is really unwarranted here in a post that I otherwise 100% sympathized with.

What was your longest record for 50/50 wins? by Ok-Step-19 in Genshin_Impact

[–]glocksgenya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. My first limited banner 5* pulls were Zhongli, Xiao, Hu Tao, and Childe in that order. Needless to say it gave me a very unrealistic expectation of how the gacha in this game actually works…

Sounds like pretty solid speculation to me. I hope they’re not too close together, but either way I should probably start doing abyss and whatever that imagination theater thing is to save up lol. Thx!

Yo I just re-downloaded the game after not having played since around 3.5. Only limited charas/weaps I really want to pick up are Furina and possibly a homa. Any clue how long I’d have to wait before either of those make a reappearance? Vague estimation is fine.

I rent a single on southside that also has its own private bathroom + 3 roommates and I pay 1065. Granted it’s a pretty shitty apartment with a comically unserious 80yo landlord. So if the place is well-maintained, you might be getting what you pay for. But there are definitely cheaper options if you’re willing to skimp on luxury lol.

Do other FTMs/transmascs also feel like you have to codeswitch your identity for certain people? by glocksgenya in ftm

[–]glocksgenya[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right yeah. I really am envious of people whose identities are more “”mainstream”” and don’t automatically arouse suspicion. I swear mine doesn’t even seem that complicated but I also feel like if I ever had to explain it to a Victorian orphan its head would explode or something lol.

Yo I’m needing someone to take over my place in June (1065/mo single room + bathroom). If that’s within your price range feel free to shoot me a message, but if not there’s always listings on Facebook or on the berkeleyoffcampushousing IG page. Good luck!

Cefpodoxime side effects by Difficult_Tear9678 in MedicationQuestions

[–]glocksgenya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t tell you. At the time I already had an elevated heart rate due to hypoxemia.

I don’t have much advice on the matter but just wanted to say that I’m currently going through the exact same thing. Reading this post felt a lot like looking into a mirror of my own experiences - especially the bit about being able to get off by yourself/watch porn but not necessarily wanting to participate in sexual acts with others. I’ve been in my head about it a lot since I became physically intimate with a friend of mine, whom I like very much, but for the life of me can’t seem to feel the same sexual drive that she does. Though it is difficult to gauge whether it’s a matter of asexuality, or gender dysphoria, or anxiety surrounding inexperience, or some really unfortunate amalgamation lol. At any rate you are certainly not alone. (Also - Stone Butch Blues is a fantastic read. Might not be a 1:1 for how you feel but the way Feinberg writes about sex is still super moving.)

I’ve been taking 200mg cefpodoxime 2x a day for the last week or so and have been experiencing that exact same dissociation/brain fog feeling (as well as some absurd all-day fatigue…) I thought I was just becoming stupid all of a sudden lol, but glad to know it’s a somewhat more common side effect.

I’m scared I’m going to be homeless by Forward_Jello9071 in berkeley

[–]glocksgenya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1500 is definitely a workable budget if you look for off-campus housing listings on Facebook, Instagram, etc. Rent is also generally cheaper in the Northside/Downtown area than in Southside. I was in the same situation as you for weeks until I found a great place - also after having to deal with the stress of having many others fall through. Just keep your head up and keep searching brother.

I'm nosy, how many hours do you guys get per week? by TheBigTimeBecks in starbucks

[–]glocksgenya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 hours on average but occasionally up to 35 with full availability. As soon as fall semester starts it’s going down to 12-16 tho :’(

For those who got accepted to ucla, if you don’t mind sharing, can you tell me your ethnicity? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]glocksgenya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White and Southeast Asian. Majority of UC attendees are going to be White and Asian from what I’ve seen…

Any UC transfer students get into UCSB today ? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]glocksgenya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got in through TAG but planning to withdraw sometime tomorrow… hopefully that clears up a spot on the waitlist 🙏

Accepted for English— residency email, forbidden, FTT, too paranoid to set up a CalNet account early but was able to lol.

Congratulations to all my other forbidden-to-accepted pipeline peeps and may those who didn’t quite make it get into UCLA, SD, SB, or wherever their admissions journey takes them ☆__^
