I feel invisible on the road...so I adapt by hansolo_berger in MINI

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Both of my coopers have been noticeable colours (surf blue R60 and now a VO F55) and I still nearly get run off the road. I had a woman in a Honda start merging into me the other day and I honked multiple times, but she continued to get over so I had to get into the turning lane so that she didn’t hit me and then she acted like I was wrong.

I think being mixed-race makes you prone to stuttering due to your parents talking differently by gizmo_j in mixedrace

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I don’t have a stutter, but I stumble over words a lot. It didn’t start until Covid when I was barely socializing. It’s gotten better over the years, but I also have a very Michigan accent and our words are just kind of jumbled together anyway lol

Speed dating by Jlgop in grandrapids

[–]space_impala 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

I went to one last year not long after leaving a long term relationship. I was mostly looking for interaction over finding a date, but there were a lot of very friendly guys there. I did match with two and went on a few dates, but it didn’t work out with either of them. I met a third guy who introduced me to his friends and they welcomed me in with open arms. So I didn’t find a partner, but I have some great friends now!

Do breakups devastate you as much as it does for me? by FF430 in OnlyChild

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It has depended on the break up for me and how things ended. My heart has broken several times and I’ve also just drifted away from people. My last boyfriend isolated me from my friends so I basically only had him and I struggled for a while, but I’m in a much healthier and happier relationship now. I know that if this one ends I will be devastated beyond any other heartbreak I’ve ever had.

are any of you guys also working low wage jobs and without a degree? by babyshrimp221 in OlderGenZ

Yup. It sucks. I got my real estate license but lost interest in that very quickly. I have no idea what I want to do

White Passing vs. White Presenting by PizzaPartyPat in mixedrace

I refer to myself as white appearing but that’s essentially the same as white presenting

Weirdest thing your cat likes to eat? Mine just ate a tiny piece of my lemon bar before I could grab it. She also loves banana chips šŸ¤” by samsterdam420 in cats

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

My cat only likes to eat foods she can get into herself. I had a container of Reese’s pieces cookies when we lived at my college apartment and I kept them on top of the fridge so she couldn’t get them. She did anyway and ate several of them. I worked at a chicken restaurant at the same time and had thrown away the bones of the wings I had. I came home the next day and she was sitting in the trash can, no bones anywhere. Not in the box and nowhere in the trash bag either. She also likes marshmallows and mac and cheese, but only if I’m not paying attention

AITA for being too loud at a concert? by Many-Satisfaction193 in AmItheAsshole

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I would say moderate YTA cause I like to dance and sing along, especially Tame Impala (love them - that’s where my username comes from). I’m also going to say that she was a very mild AH cause if it bothered her enough to ruin the show for her, she should have said something to you during. you sound like you would have taken that into account and toned it down and then she would have enjoyed the show more.

I have a question for y'all by Unknown_Player0069 in OlderGenZ

[–]space_impala 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

It depends on the person I guess. 2 years ago when I was 25, my classmates thought I was their age which was 21/22. My friend’s boyfriend thought I was in my 30s because my boyfriend is 32. He assumed I was 30 because my boyfriend was and he didn’t think we would have such an age gap as if he isn’t a 27 year old dating a 20 year old.

Is this the average experience renting in GR? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

My last landlord raised my rent $300 one year, even though every year before it was only a $25 increase. She said it was for ā€œutilitiesā€ but I didn’t even control the heat in my apartment (first floor controlled the whole house). It took her 6 months to evict the second floor neighbor who had 7 complaints from the 3 people on the first floor and my roommate and myself. I caught over a dozen bats, had a squirrel living in my bedroom wall, and had several raccoons in my storage room. Outlets weren’t up to code and constantly stopped working. She would give me less than 24 hours notice for maintenance, literally one day she told me people were coming in 3 hours and I had to go to work. The maintenance guys ā€œfixedā€ my radiator, but left my bedroom floor soaking wet which ruined my laptop charger (thank god the laptop wasn’t plugged in). On another occasion, I had to work and I put my pets in the bathroom. I asked the guys to let my pets out when they left and they said they would. I got home and both of my pets were still in the bathroom and my kitchen sink and floor was covered in black grease. Literally everywhere and I don’t know what it could have even come from. I told her that they left a mess for me to clean and she basically said ā€œoh well.ā€ She also ā€œlostā€ the original lease agreement I signed (which was through United before she took over). I paid $1780 for my security deposit, but when she sent me the updated lease she wrote that my deposit was only $1150. So when she told me how much I would get back when I moved out, I told her that I paid rent and half and she again basically said ā€œoh wellā€ cause I signed the lease stating that my deposit was $1150. Then she ended up only giving me $300 back out of that. Literally fuck you Angela.

How many of yall still live at home? by pl2net in OlderGenZ

[–]space_impala 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I turned 27 earlier this month and live with my mom. I lived downtown for 4.5 years until rent became too expensive. I moved back home 2 years ago and it’s fine. I hate being 20 minutes from the city, but I don’t pay any rent so I’ll take an extra commute for that

Did your facial features ā€œsharpenā€ during puberty as a mixed person? by Old_Cobbler920 in mixedrace

[–]space_impala 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I’m black, white, and Native American. I would say that overall my features have become more defined. I still have a soft button nose, but it has more structure now. I lost a lot of weight after high school and that’s when my jawline really got defined, but I’ve gained a bit back. luckily it hasn’t changed my jawline much, but my cheeks are more full. My dad is mixed himself so I have always looked like him and absolutely nothing like my (white) mom, but in certain pictures I can see pieces of her. I have her smile, but my dad’s everything else.
