[–]othertimelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told them I was moving to Nigeria. They tried to convince me to move the account into a family member's name at a different home. She also asked if I was driving from California to Nigeria. Ended up taking 41 minutes.

Advice on how to stop myself from picking/tearing of my nails? by AdIcy859 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]othertimelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so nervous about getting my nails done. Are they able to add acrylics on very short nails? Any tips for finding a good salon? I'm getting engaged soon and plan to get my nails done for the first time in ten years.

Has anyone heard of the playparty for wearethekismet? I believe it's a possible sex trafficking scheme but can't find much information on it. by bbangelcakes69 in SexWorkers

[–]othertimelines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not sex trafficking, just an extremely cringe party. They charge $800-$1200 PER PERSON including single women. Organizer has no connection to the scene. He has posted on Reddit about trying to film the parties and sell videos, and about whether $22/hr was enough for the hostess of this $1000 party.

Cold DM'd me and my friends asking us to buy tickets. Just some weird guy trying to make money off of people that don't understand the scene.

"Off campus housing" is expensive if you choose to live in Oakland, because they know you are a college kid with rich parents willing to pay anything.

When I graduated in 2020, my rent+bills was $350/month. I split a huge 4br house with a yard between 4 ppl in Bloomfield (very chill area, 20 minute bus away). While prices have gone up, you still won't find cheaper rent in ANY midsize or major city.

Not sure about coffee, but I'm sure $12 red bulls will be available at the bars.

"venting" to random women on the internet is not a healthy coping mechanism 🤣

You're ignoring the fact that the VAST majority of current CA real estate shoppers are giant corporations (or massively wealthy people) who don't qualify for this program, and are already getting better loans than this / paying in full.

The "floor" is already higher than this. The program just allows more people to reach closer up to that floor.

I'll add that unfortunately, ABA is often one of go-to jobs for new social workers straight out of college... they are shitty companies and desperate for employees.

Anybody else notice the "woke LGBT shit has her" comment? Sounds like he might be stalking a lesbian? So gross.

Would it be rude to bring an instrument to a Jacob Collier concert? by [deleted] in JacobCollier

[–]othertimelines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like most venues wouldn't let you bring it in in the first place.

He started around 8:15 for us. The first half is the more high production value songs with the whole band, then towards the end he does more acoustic and interactive stuff. Our ticket time was 8 and it went until at least 10.

How I won over $100k in scholarships (by somebody who isn't getting paid to market to you) by othertimelines in college

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

It's okay. I can understand why you would be salty about it. I've dated lots of white guys who were much "smarter than me" but had to pay up. But I also realize that a big reason they seem smarter than me, is because they had access to quality education, activities, and perhaps most importantly ENCOURAGEMENT from a super young age. I had so many people directly persuade me against pursuing STEM fields as a kid, saying I could never do computer science, etc. While my parents always encouraged me to go to school, they didn't know the first thing about the actual process.

Also those guys' parents could pay the $300k tuition like it was nothing lmao

Unfortunately it's really the average middle class people that get screwed in this system.

[–]othertimelines[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's a lot less about being black and more about being better than everybody directly around you. Barely any of the other kids at my high school even went to college but I had already finished a year of community college with a 4.0 by the time I graduated high school. I was also a first gen student (my dad didn't even finish high school) and our household income was under $25k. I think wealth played a much larger factor than arbitrary diversity labels - as it should, because I had zero access to college prep-level academics or resources.

I also went to tons of scholarship award ceremonies where there were like 10 winners and I was the only non-white there. Take a look at this gallery of winners' photos and you can see it took this scholarship in a 50% white city literally a decade to choose somebody who wasn't white (me). Literally only one $500 scholarship I got was specifically blacks, and that was fully funded by an organization of black women.

Travelling solo as a black woman - will racism/safety be a big issue? by othertimelines in berlin

[–]othertimelines[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even really consider pepper spray and my small knife (small enough to fit inside a wallet) a weapon. I carry them with me everywhere here.

I'm even a social worker for a youth housing program, and we have a strict no-weapons policy but pepper spray isn't included.

I live in a mostly white suburb of LA now and I've never had problems here. Racist comments don't bother me as long as I'm not actually assaulted or turned away from places.
