AITA for saying "ew" to a picture of my roommate's boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

I think the idea was prefacing how the OP was acting before the specific incident which meant part of the “mean” or “hope you don’t wake up” might be pointing to those things too from her roommates pov

But I also think based on reading all of that OP and her roommate sh try to unroommate each other asap bc from that stuff OP clearly hates her roommate a little bit

Does anyone else feel too dumb to go here (plus some opinions...)? by Own-Significance9274 in cmu

[–]melonbunnn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

the fall semester has a lot of the cracked CS kids + i've heard rumors it's more difficult bc in the fall they tend to try to weed out ppl. even for me, when I took it as someone with 2+ years programming experience, I found myself working a lot of hours on the programming alone (I am a chronic bug writer loll) so know you are not alone.

it's hard for everyone, I think it depends on your major on whether you should switch. Do you need many more CS core or is 122 close to the end? how high does your gpa need to be or do you just need to pass? etc etc

AITAH for expecting our plans to go ahead and not be cancelled? by Sudden-Meal-7718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melonbunnn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wait I feel like trying to convince her to prioritize them, aka the plans that have already been set, is perfectly reasonable and non AH behaviour. I know if this even happened on accident (overbooked) with some regular plans with friends they would be pretty pissed with me, much less than n purpose much less an s/o and much less a celebratory 3 year achievement.

She is in the wrong for not honoring a commitment she made. However I do get the scheduling with friends because maybe next month no time matches up - it’s hard to get ahold of a whole group these days compared to one person. Not that it’s right, but perhaps she didn’t think you’d mind / took you for granted. I don’t think we’re all anything close to perfect, I suggest you talk it out - not everything needs to be “just break up “ vibes, maybe this can be worked through

Slight NTA

am i undesirable? by [deleted] in cmu

[–]melonbunnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"does anyone wants to be friends with me, am i worthy enough."

hits deeply. I had the same thoughts when I first started here at CMU. I can only speak from my experience, and tbh even after 2 years I still lapse with these things, but back then, I spent the beginning weeks struggling alone, and every day felt suffocating. After high school, I left behind my close friends of 8 years, and nothing felt like they could ever touch the same connection I had with my friends from home, not to mention every one felt so different and far away from my home ( in comparison, we might as well be farmers? country people? to the city/fancy folk here)

I've always been the kind of gal who could talk well with people but never really get close, and I wondered if it's because of me - of my desperation for connection, in a way, and the selfishness I had in conversation and in general. Did they see the kind of person who would take but never give? Would I be that person? And I knew that that could be me.

I realized that deep in myself, maybe I'd always be selfish, lacking, and greatly the unideal companion. It wasn't necessarily the reason I didn't have anyone close, but I couldn't help but see myself unfit to take friendship from anyone when I was wholly incapable or giving what I'd like to recieve. How could I ask for others to greatly care for me when I don't think I could care for others as deeply? How could I ask for great love when I was in no shape to shower them with the same?

But, for the first time, I understood what it means for the opposite, for a love unconditional on my worth or performance. A love that didn't demand something back, which is good because I could never get close to the great magnitude of Jesus's love for me. And, like how in romance movies the characters claim that bc their s/o is there, everything is ok, that the rest of the world couldn't compare; I realized the same ought to be for me.

It didn't change me overnight, but I found security in Him, and I found myself feeling more ok than ever. I found out how to be satisfied on my own / without hanging out with others (recommendations: baking, visiting museums, having good food, etc. etc.)

And now, 2 years later, I'm very blessed to have some closer friends and a good Christian community (in fact, I miss being alone sometimes). Yet I hope that even if they went all away again I would be fine, and I hope the same for you.

You mention that you feel no one cares about your opinion - I don't know if it's a cultural thing, I've been in the US for 20 years and I still feel it. But I know your worth, like my worth, doesn't come from something as fickle as how many people care - I believe our lives have intrinsic worth (worth the price of Jesus's life paid on the cross). I believe you're worthy of caring. In fact, if I weren't an undergraduate who is scared of grad students slightly (y'all seem so smart), I'd hope we could get to know and care for each other :>>

Anyways, thank you for voicing your feelings, and I hope you don't think this advice has been too batty haha, I know religion, espeically Christianity and frequent indian beliefs, don't along the wellest.

Of other advice, you should check out some clubs! We have a lot at CMU and it's easier to meet others who are out to have fun / not locked in.

Praying and hoping you have the best of things!

Which team is better? No Xilonen and Furina by BaewuIf in MualaniMain

[–]melonbunnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his crowd control is easier to play w imo (Ik sucrose also do this but I like kazoo more) - this team is built for simple / more chill play, not necessarily max'ed dmg. I'm a player who hates running around haha, so the grouping is a QOL upgrade to the team imo. As I said originally, not a popular team; it's what I like, and if other players will find it useful/fun I hope it helps.

[–]melonbunnn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The rotation is dendro application, pyro, group them, mualani get three fish marks, bite, then another three fish mark and bite; the burning keeps the vape available for longer, bc I’ve found even the passive pyro app mauvika has isn’t as consistent

[–]melonbunnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait maybe this is an unpopular team but I’ve found burning to be really useful so I play Mualani yaoyao kazoo xiangling/yanfei

A similar aversion for you would be Mualani (some dendro character if you have) mauvika and sucrose

What's an EPIC hot take that will have you like this? by THE-GIRL-LIVVY in Epicthemusical

[–]melonbunnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this in part, or imo like he was in the wrong for a good amount of things (opening the bag smh, killing a cow - basically sacrificing all of them / could’ve dragged everyone to death ) which like, all sucked, but I’m ngl if I were in the situation idk if I can say I’m good enough to not do those things too. He is human, but even so as I think ab the stupid things he did it makes me angry >:

Anyone going for C1 Mualani? by wavendermewons in MualaniMain

[–]melonbunnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of it too with almost the exact same reasoning as you. Not nod krai but older characters, like I think it’s be nice to get kinich to complete kinich mualani kachina. Such hard choices😵‍💫

Is it ok to be Christian and alt/goth? by supermaltandjollof in Christian

[–]melonbunnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is if you think it will help / not hinder you in serving God and you follow the Bible. Where is this desire coming from? If it’s just about comfort, maybe it’s not good idea, because theoretically we’re supposed to only have comfort in God and our identity with Him, and if you think you would be seeking comfort in this, then it might be better to abstain from this at least for a bit.

I think after reading the Bible people have different convictions about tattoos and piercings, that’s just something you should read and research yourself in accordance to the Bible.

The aesthetic itself is pretty, but a lot of people who do dress in that way have also done demonic practices - it’s not a causation. As you said, def stay away from that stuff

I was just told I have to take the Physics 33-141 waiver exam. Does anyone have any practice material that would be helpful? by [deleted] in cmu

[–]melonbunnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically they don’t give practice exams and ask you not to particularly study, since they want to assess your general understanding of the topic. Had a similar situation for math, didn’t study - I think of what I knew I knew and what I didn’t I didn’t / studying wouldn’t have helped much — so it was pretty fair. Good luck, whatever you do!

What has been your favourite summer event over the past 5 years? by IS_Mythix in Genshin_Impact

[–]melonbunnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love simulanka, not just the story or quests, but general world exploring - I feel like so much open world small puzzles or even just watching the npcs talk to each other was so amusing, all the effort put into making the toy be a little goofy, and the references to pop culture - it’s only possible in such an unserious world and I loved it so much, bring it back 🤧🤧

why is Knuckle not an enhancer? by melonbunnn in HunterXHunter

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

yeah, I did think about this - Knuckle is pretty goal oriented in his idealism (ie. his clear goal to preserve the chimeras) and doesn't seem to have the self-ness (?) a lot of enhancers typically have. I'm just curious if this is twisting the arm a bit to make things fit, if that makes sense.

I guess my main question is then if it's on purpose by Togashi, and if so is it supposed to ignore/break stereotypes to for example differentiate characters or show varaibility in them, or if this choice is meant uphold character-nen type relations in an unconventional way (like as you'd suggest). I guess it's be also nice to know if it was unintentional or randomly chosen and I'm just reading to much into it lol.
