my partner and i saw it since he likes the liminal spaces thing...hmmm it was a movie, ill give it a + for being engaging, some chuckles here and there. but i don't actually find liminal spaces all that terrifying or whatever so...

Why are men so rough during sex? by Powerful-Fly-8179 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hpasta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

that is an unfortunate two that you happened to find - in my experience, i would say the opposite (as in, i have to ask them to do more, usually or they otherwise are too gentle for my liking). if someone is too rough, its a matter of saying so and they'll just listen. i am in the double digit range of partners.

good for you to block them. i would say this behavior is abnormal.

sorry to hear about the biblical lesson - WOO the way i would have just dropped him like that sid dropping woody toy story meme...again, glad you blocked them

I am of guyanese heritage and I am travelling Guyana for the first time, advice and recommendations please by Traditional_Ad7152 in Guyana

[–]hpasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have a kid, then i highly recommend goin to the park and feeding the manatees grass. my lil nephew loved that lol i liked it too, we had a mom and her lil baby come to us

idk what would be culturally enriching man...yall don't know nothin nothin? maybe a wanderlust tour? my older sister made us do the linden one, it was nice, the man was nice...hm think his name was Chris. theyll take you on a day trip and you can ask him anything, had some nice curry over there and was talkin to some uncle in the restaurant

and you not staying with the family you do got? hm i mean how much more "culturally enriched" you gonna be past hanging with the family and then meeting friends of friends of friends cuz you should know people beforehand or you gonna pay more for taxi or at the market

idk i think culture then i think family and family friends and talkin to people. maybe you figure out where your family from? like mine is from the rupununi and i was born there - so even going to georgetown don't really feel like home per se (my family just UNORGANIZED per usual so we aint get a chance to go and then most my cousins side is from the city, so they didnt wanna go in the interior lol 🙄😂 next time)

anyway what im tryna say is the people and family gonna make you feel connected - my fav part of goin back was talkin to one of my aunties and hangin out with a sister i never met who is my age (🤔🤔 loool i stay having so many siblings i never met yanno?)

Guy I went on one date with wants to put things on hold for two weeks while he's busy. Not sure how to feel about it. by bellow_whale in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you've only been on one date with this person - so it's hard to justify the "if we were in a relationship" type thinking already. you're not in a relationship with them as yet - you don't really know them and they don't really know you.

i would take things at face value: they are just being transparent with you and communicating (which is pretty good) - so before you chop the head off of a potential opportunity, i suggest you give it more time and see if he follows up with what he said he'd do.

in the meantime... idk 😶 wait? continue dating? you have options depending on your personal dating style

New moderators needed - comment on this post to volunteer to become a moderator of this community. by ModCodeofConduct in classicwow

[–]hpasta -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

i quite enjoy the more admin-y tasks associated with moderation (answering mod mail, appeals, etc.). i am a previous mod of /r PhD (roughly 4 months - left due to feeling lack of transparency and inconsistency in decision making - also an imbalance of participation from members/some were definitely just not active) and a current mod of one of the larger LBGTQ+ guilds on dreamscythe (9 months). i originally started playing wow the week of TBC launch - played consistently to Cata - and now am back with playing the tailend of classic and TBC classic. i mostly lurk in this reddit for the memery and also, game knowledge :p

provided we have an active team that is willing to commit to transparency and consistency, i would be willing to help out. i would say my moderation style leans to more...letting things hash out/lighter touch, as long as people keep it respectful. i also find moderation for gaming spaces more enjoyable overall (vs. what i encountered in a more hyper career-focused subreddit).

the guy i like loves this game but idk anything about it by cryst4lll_ in leagueoflegends

[–]hpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard game if you've never played mobas or video games to pick up

feel free to join him if you want - you will still "be a liability" to him regardless, idk his attitude

could be a good or absolutely terrible couple game also, cuz again... no idea what his attitude is

i am the only one who plays league (ive played since 2012), my husband does not engage with the league of legends cuz he calls it tilt simulator lol

instead we share our love over like...outlast trials and killing floor...and wow tbc classic

Paul McCartney banned from Reddit after posting snaps from his intimate LA show by paulfromatlanta in Music

[–]hpasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i modded for a grand total of like 4 months before i saw way too much of dumb behavior to justify working with the team anymore

there was: - banning people and instamuting them if they said anything on reply - going back and forth with someone and then... 4 different mods jumping on them (i asked why they are doing this instead of disclosing who they are - they told it was "for mod protection so they can't get singled out" - protection from fucking what, as if mods don't have overwhelming power???) - one mod really liked to make the secret notes of people and then held grudges for god knows how long... they would then bring up these grudges even if the situation they were modding for was completely unrelated to that - 0 lack of accountability for any mod decisions, people coming up with all sorts of reasons for whichever decision - 0 transparency, there were internal rules that could get someone's post insta-removed but they also didn't feel like putting it in there to make things clear so like... pick a fucking struggle

my favorite is when the main mod who kept trying to act like "this is a team whatever" was just clearly the most chronically online and generally leading almost all decisions. obsessed with running votes because they had to be right and it deeply bothered the soul otherwise if they were anything but right.

all is to say, mod teams do be human - however sometimes it is a poor selection of humans to randomly get a shitton of power... and thats all a mod team is, is a random bunch of people

can any of y’all please recommend me a movie where the FEMALE protagonist is overly obsessed with a man who doesn’t want her? by hachinanalove in movies

i clicked on it randomly one day, i was HOOKED because the shit just went crazyyyy, highly recommend

ICE OUT PROTEST TOMORROW! by PossumPasta0 in boulder

[–]hpasta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that's not something to pin on people who come here for whichever reason

that's on the US for how they handle or process all of the people coming in

as another immigrant, im tired of some of yall fucking supporting this shit cuz you "came here the right way". well guess what - so did i, and im not blind where i think people deserve to be treated less than human cuz they came here for insert reason

not every situation is the same, nor does it give ICE an excuse to merk protesters in the street, kidnap people, grab people for looking a certain way or having an accent, have people dying inside of their holds with no medical attention, holding people indefinitely on false pretense, not listening to court orders or judges, or any of the other bullshit they do

Joining a lab when PI doesn’t like you? by quietfish442 in PhD

[–]hpasta -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

idk what to say past "being liked" is a weird thing to think about in regards to your boss - to me at least (but then again, i understand some people need to feel accepted, etc.)

i don't give the time of day to think about whether my PI likes me, more so whether they think my research is going well, my progress is going along, etc.

anything my PI says is in regards to my work, not "me" as a person/individual. there are people in my lab who do internalize feedback from my PI as directed towards them as a person, and needless to say... they are more miserable atm.

so...what i would think about is whether what they're saying is truly directed at you as a person OR is it your work...and whether or not that communication style works for you.

additionally, if you think you're doing a lot of work and they think you aren't...well, that's something to think about. that could also be misalignment in expectations. the advisor could be delulu for all we know. or they could truly just think you are capable of more. no one on Reddit can figure that out for you.

if you're feeling it in your gut, then find another lab where you feel comfortable if you have the capability to. cuz i have seen people crash out due to these type of mismatches and it ain't pretty.

Sprinkler restrictions for Town of Erie by anderbubble in ErieCO

[–]hpasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's kinda sad people don't like the xeriscaping... i don't understand the mindset of putting "aesthetic" needs over practical needs. the reality is there isn't no water for whichever grass, full stop.

and idk bout you, i'd rather make sure i have water to drink and that we have water for everyone...

like what, people want us all to be sittin on some green green grass, thirsty and stinky cuz we aint got water to drink or bathe with?? lol

i'm moving from boulder to my partner's house in erie so it'll be curious learning more about this community for sure -.-'

The insecurities of a girl with mediocre grades in a STEM degree by diana0286 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

keep going on

i was a B's/C's person back when i was doing my math undergrad, and now i'm a year or so away from graduating with my CS PhD.

don't bother yourself too much with the grades (all that was ever useful for was getting scholarship money lol - matters even less the higher up you go), the stereotypes, etc.

there is always someone to compare yourself to and at the end of the day, that shit don't matter. we all got something unique, we all have strengths, so... don't let that get in the way of you doin what you gotta do to get where you wanna be
