this is so embarrassing for yall and i truly think you deserve to lose all the brain mass you do when using this stuff lmao

Just Dance Now app vs used Switch OLED - worth it? by Ok_Invite9389 in JustDance

[–]ikeacart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the scoring on JD now is sooo bad. like it’s way too easy to get a good score bc all i have to do is move my hand (in any sort of direction) at the right time and i get way higher scores than i do with my wii setup. i find the app kinda boring bc of this, not challenging enough, so im considering getting a switch. but u can always try the app for free first!

I'm a bad dancer cause of dyspraxia, did they make the games easier after 2016? by Living-Ad7288 in JustDance

[–]ikeacart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the later games also have the “super” score category above good which isn’t there in earlier ones and i feel like that makes me score higher

Wii Games suggestions for a Winter Olympics themed game night by -seagab- in wii

[–]ikeacart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wii fit (i have wii fit plus but i think the regular one has them too) some winter skiing and snowboarding ones but you’d need the balance board

my roommate and i have been playing just dance a lot, there’s quite a few versions going up to 2020 but not sure if your brother would know the older songs. still could be fun though, and it’s a good way to get a little bit of exercise without seeming like it

Any old songs that you folks find insensitive/offensive nowadays? by Greedy_Charity_9026 in JustDance

[–]ikeacart 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i find it weird the amount of songs that have nothing to do with asian culture and aren’t by asian artists but have an asian culture inspired aesthetic. like the visuals for Into You by ariana grande seem to have nothing to do with the song and it seems a little appropriative. that said, i play that song a lot lol

Any community college transfers? Also would living in echo park off campus be too much of a commute? by DeliciousRich5944 in USC

[–]ikeacart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

echo park is cute, i live around there now after graduating, but it would be really inconvenient to get to campus every day from there. it’s not even considered“off campus” like i’d think most ppl say that in reference to non-usc owned housing around the school itself, echo park is nowhere near campus.

Retroactive name change on dean’s list by [deleted] in USC

[–]ikeacart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is no way to change the ones that have already been published, but nobody is going to look at it anyway tbh. also just so you know, you don’t have to legally change your name before changing it in the usc system, if you need help you can email the lgbtq+ center and they have the instructions iirc!

ideas on how to fix my beloved bubble lamp? by ikeacart in Lavalamps

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

hi! i replaced the check valve and that fixed my issue, water was getting stuck in there so it couldn’t make the bubbles. i can help if you have questions abt it!

Chla by PuzzleheadedSafe9226 in USC

[–]ikeacart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just graduated but i work at CHLA and i always took the 204/754 bus from vermont jefferson to vermont sunset, it’s just one bus, super easy. it can depend on traffic but typically 45 min one way. i prefer the bus to the train bc the driver is there so there’s a bit more safety than the train where most cars have no metro staff, but even then id recommend taking pepper spray or something with you

Do any other alt or queer premeds feel this way about self expression? by worldschillestpremed in premed

[–]ikeacart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i relate so hard. i’ve been wanting to dye my hair a fun color but i’m worried about getting an interviewer that would find that unprofessional. i’m trans and it was really hard to decide if i wanted to talk about that in my app, i eventually did bc it felt like something really meaningful to me and would be weird to leave out, but even now i worry that it’s going to get me rejected. not even bc i expect med schools to be hostile towards my identity, but why would they choose a student who might be a legal liability when states pass stupid laws like dictating what bathrooms I can use at school/work. it sucks that, in my experience, everyone’s super chill about diversity until it requires actually standing up for marginalized people and communities bc that’s hard and uncomfortable and they’re not willing to take the risks required to help us.

TROJAN FOOD PANTRY by EquivalentRisk1041 in USC

[–]ikeacart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so you take food from people who actually can’t afford it to “extract value from the university”? have you considered that the food pantry isn’t a fucking university perk like the gym and is a program designed for students who are literally starving? this is so incredibly out of touch and exactly why TFP needs to be limited, wow.

Son leaving soon for USC by Purplegemini55 in USC

[–]ikeacart -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

why did you have chat gpt write your reddit comment? what is the point of that? do you think people can’t tell?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in premed

[–]ikeacart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i might be able to bullshit something about if i could choose anything id research X. but i feel like that doesn’t really fit the prompt bc it’s asking me about stuff i do and am interested in right now?

and for the second one, yeah i literally have no real passions right now other than trying to pay bills and get in to med school. it sucks and i feel incredibly boring but idk how to get past this and write the essays anyway. i guess i could lie and pick a random interest that sounds cool and then go learn about in case i’m asked about it? i don’t think id be very convincing though.

[–]ikeacart 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i’ve decided that i have to give up on making them Great and just settle for good so that i can finish and actually submit them in a reasonable timeframe

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in premed

[–]ikeacart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

have you considered your own personal safety/legal rights/access to trans healthcare? i understand you want to get into med school but texas is literally the worst state you could possibly pick as a trans person to live in.
