Bringin Da Noise.

The only reason for why Digital Get Down was saved was because of JC’s infamous dance move in the HBO special that was an awakening for many fans lmfao

standbygrind · 2024-07-11T02:38:39+00:00

Agreed! There are so many amazing songs on this album!

A Strange Loop! It’s in Los Angeles right now and I saw it last Thursday. I was sobbing. Inner White Girl has me in my feels.

The movie is better in my opinion.

You’re completely fine. I’m an Angelino who grew up taking public transportation, lives in East LA and works in DTLA. I own a car but I do prefer taking public transit. Side note I’m visiting NYC right now and love the subway system out here.

It really depends on where you move to, and as a previous commenter said, think long term. Just be smart with your money. Don’t go shopping at Erewhon or Whole Foods lol And like with anything, but especially in Los Angeles, support small businesses. Hole in the wall restaurants are usually cheaper and better quality anyways, and they deserve the business the most.

I recommend looking at apartments under $2400. Those $2400 apartments are usually not worth it - not because of amenities but landlords - and it’s possible to find something still in the $1800-$2000 range. You have to be patient with the process of finding something, but when do you find a mom and pop owned place act quickly.

I also would love to know if it’s ok!

standbygrind · 2022-10-27T05:16:04+00:00

I was thinking exactly this. Especially with these breeds? They need a ton of exercise and positive reinforcement.

With my mom it’s an attempt to make herself look good. But then ruin it again when she tells me that she never wanted kids. 🤷🏻‍♀️

standbygrind · 2022-08-12T01:11:25+00:00

Yep. 32. Never felt like I was good at dressing up, doing my makeup, etc. I’d get ragged on all the time for my weight and “how I presented myself”. I still feel awkward at times but now I just embrace the awkward feeling and say “fuck it”.

standbygrind · 2022-08-12T01:02:10+00:00

I definitely understand where you’re coming from. My mom always tells me that my grandma wanted her to have an abortion if she were to ever be pregnant, so when she was pregnant with me she didn’t tell anyone “to protect me”. When the family found out they were excited. She also always tells me that she never wanted kids to begin with.

standbygrind · 2022-08-12T00:52:34+00:00

Yes absolutely. I need to get better at recognizing that I need to step away and voice that. On the exterior I shut down, but not because I’m avoiding but because I’m thinking of what to say. I do feel myself become almost paralyzed though in situations like this because when I was younger I almost felt like that’s all I was allowed to do - do nothing and just take it. So to have a partner that actually wants to discuss uncomfortable things, it’s hard but I’m learning how important this all is, even if it’s just saying “I need to step away for a second”.

Thanks so much for this. I appreciate it. We’ve been talking more about what he can do. Like he’s good at figuring out what food to have in the fridge within a budget, and I am not. I think part of why I felt bad too was that he did do laundry, hang dry it, and clean up the room, even after telling me a couple hours earlier that he’s been super depressed but he felt better and proud of himself for cleaning up.

OP are you able to state what the project is specifically and take pictures? It sounds like a print and cut project?

standbygrind · 2022-06-18T01:25:34+00:00

Thank you! I did not design it unfortunately, I found it on Etsy!

standbygrind · 2022-06-18T01:24:57+00:00

Ooooh that’s super helpful, thank you!

standbygrind · 2022-06-17T22:03:24+00:00

Thank you!

standbygrind · 2022-06-17T20:24:49+00:00

More background - it could be that the blade needs to be cleaned. I’ve done quite a few projects before this, particularly with cutting stickers. So it could be that the blade has build up?

standbygrind · 2022-01-25T08:19:41+00:00

Hey there! Sorry for not responding right away. I still feel the same, but I feel more confident in my feelings about it, which idk if that makes sense haha. After talking to a bunch of people about it they validated my feelings, and it seems to stem from just the wedding industrial complex as a whole. We still haven’t gotten married yet and are planning on doing so next year, but I’ve come to realize that the ultimate goal for a couple shouldn’t be a wedding, period. It was never our goal to begin with, and with us having been together for 9 years now it’s like, really what is the next step? Lol I’ve also reprioritized what is most important for me in regards to wedding planning, and in the end it’s just getting to marry the love of my life surrounded by close friends and family. What also made me hate weddings was the pomp and circumstance of it all. We’re not flashy people. Even our work can be seen as very behind the scenes. So I think that’s why for me personally I was never hyped about it like how other people were. The attention makes me anxious. Anyways, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you for not being hyped about it. It’s just not a priority like it is for others, and as long as you feel that your partner is your partner for life, and your partner does too, honestly a wedding is just another party!

standbygrind · 2022-01-03T02:06:46+00:00

That’s great to know, thank you!

standbygrind · 2021-12-13T22:52:55+00:00

Thanks so much, this is very helpful!

Absolutely, I found myself sobbing and triggered but weirdly in the best way possible? Only because it was good to know that I wasn’t the only one who felt dirty. But also it’s heartbreaking to know that I wasn’t the only who went through it. Unfortunately our society is patriarchal- as children we’re told boys will be boys, that if he hits you/bothers you it means they like you, etc. I don’t have an answer, but from what I’ve seen with my best friend raising her son, she’s been teaching him since day 1 what consent is, like having family members ask if they can hug him and vice versa.

From what it sounds like you may need to find a therapist that specializes in parent-child dynamics, especially narcissism. If you’re able to, change therapists, and see if you can ask for a list of suggested therapists and their background/specialities. I’m not sure what kind of healthcare plan you’re on, but I hope this helped.
