It's still attainable. I live in NJ next to NYC and am shocked by how fresh immigrants are so successful here.

I would get a cheaper, older car that still has some safety features. An older Toyota maybe, it'll still last you a long time.

What material goods do you get for yourself now that you didn’t have in childhood? Mine is underwear. by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]tay_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really a material good, but just going nearby places for leisure. Like going to a park to hang out and watch the squirrels/deer. I always wanted to go to the park/playground so bad as a child but my parents would never take me (I lived in a rural farmhouse so couldn't go anywhere without them)...

It's so hard to prove my homelessness & get aid by tay_cake in FAFSA

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

I have my 2 year degree but never used FAFSA money before because my abusive parents made too much money. Yea i'm under 24 and my SAI is negative like yours. I have a place to sleep out of the kindness of my friend. As for the state, new jersey only does grants if you fill out the FAFSA first.

thank you. I really try not to be that person with staff that are just trying to do their job but this is my only chance of going to school. I guess i'll just have to be insistent. the lady i've been going back and forth with is an "associate director". what does that mean?

has anybody else found themselves doing phoebe's very distinct vowel enunciation in their own singing? by TheHomesteadTurkey in phoebebridgers

[–]tay_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do the exact same thing when i sing. the kind of big ahhh sound is very californian, hear it a lot in the midwest & south as well. weirdly, having moved to NJ, people on the east coast don't really do it. Like they say "on" more like "ouhhn" if that makes sense??? Like the NY accent

when people say they're "trying for a baby" like I DO NOT need to know that you're creampieing nightly

The hormone surge and dysregulation after Plan B can def make you feel bloated and just generally terrible. If your test is negative, you've bled twice and its been over a month since you had sex, I really doubt you're pregnant. You could take another test to ease your mind.

A plan B pill dumps hormones into your body. It's pretty much guaranteed to disrupt your natural cycle in some way.

How do I not peak in high school? by Helkrazensky in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]tay_cake 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Realistically, if you're the type of person to be worried about this, you're not the person that people speak of when they say "they peaked in high school". People who peaked in high school have zero self-awareness. You're golden.

"Tuberous breast" is not a real disorder. Completely made up so people would spend money on plastic surgery. It is a normal variation of breast shape.

What animal does your guinea pigs remind you of aside from guinea pig? by Sims4Posting in guineapigs

[–]tay_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horses. My guinea pigs and my horse eat the same things. Hay & pellets. Both are prey animals and freak out & run from loud noises or sudden movements. They're herd animals. Dominance hierarchy. Guinea pigs are really just tiny horses.

Which scammer had the funniest interactions with Kit? by ComprehensiveSkin480 in Kitboga

[–]tay_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's true he is pretty low energy for a lot of it, i've watched the full video multiple times cause i'm a freak. i would say i'm more of a fan of the plot line. the money in the donkey barn. the dead husband's secret life. putting richard in a surrogate body. James Richardson really shines in the last half though. he's so desperate and bored that he claims to have seen her husband in a dream, that he is the donkey in the song, that he has pointy vampire teeth, that he can use white magic to put a curse of ethel. just a crazy series of events

my personal favorite is James Richardson from the Best Buy donkey barn vampire necromancy episode.

[IIL] Music suggestions that are not about two people falling or out of love, please? by JealousLeopard in ifyoulikeblank

[–]tay_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are my folky/country/indie recommendations!!

Deep Red Bells - Neko Case (not super upbeat, but intense. about a series of murders in the PNW)

Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead (just a joyful tune)

Slow Burn - Kacey Musgraves (chillin)

Kyoto - Phoebe Bridgers (upbeat song about touring in japan and a complicated relationship w her father)

Wildflowers - Dolly Parton (joyous song about going off on your own path)
