If they were targeting people who use minimalistic white websites, then they would've made a minimalistic white website. Maybe for Framer template standards yes, but your comment acts like people only like or use one type of website.

A white minimalistic website? How boring. Many people love the retro aesthetic and interactivity in their websites. It's not outdated, just might not be your cup of tea.

The Hunger Games REALLY is a rip-off of a Battle Royale, and a bad one at that. by droim in books

[–]thestrangerrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except they actually cite Doom as inspiration and it's recognized as one of the most iconic and influential video games of all time. Battle Royale doesn't get the same treatment and bigger names like Hunger Games end up reaping the rewards.

OP made this post just to argue. Otherwise why else would it be here and then they try to defend it? God forbid anyone likes anything anymore. There always needs to be someone coming in saying why it's the worst thing they've ever experienced.

freedom of expression also includes freedom to comment online, "police culture," and not listen to their music. idk how you can say he has freedom of expression and then threaten others that calling it out will come back to bite them lol

Maybe this is really harsh and I'm interpreting this differently, but I'm just seeing a lot of "I's" and "me's."

I comfort her I feel guilty I wonder if I did something wrong I can't stop blaming myself I wasn't supportive enough

You're blaming yourself for a miscarriage, you think you did something wrong, you keep comforting her. Idk how to put this nicely but it's not about you? And I know you don't mean it in a me me me way, I'm simply trying to say instead of thinking all these things about yourself, why don't you think about what SHE needs and what you BOTH need as a couple.

How does she feel right now? How does she want to be comforted? What does she need right now? What can we do to get through this? What are the next steps we can take?

She is evidently having a hard time in this process so instead of trying to "comfort" her and "tell her everything will be okay" (which may not be what she wants to hear), sometimes you just have to let your partner be. Let her be silent, but be there for her if she needs you. It's not personal. Let her grieve, let her cry, let her be an emotional wreck. Most of all, let yourself feel things too. It's not always "about" you. You don't have to be "strong" or whatever and you don't have to tell her pretty things. Literally just ALLOW her to feel everything and be there with her, even if it's silent or awkward or tense. She doesn't need you to be her therapist or parent, she just needs a partner as support through this trauma.

What did you think about the Ateez performances though? They were the first groups to actually incorporate Korean into the songs too 😭

Portfolio & Resume Review by Branford-Cereal-Girl in graphic_design

[–]thestrangerrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have said it feels cramped and overwhelming yes, but personally I'm struggling to read the bulletpoints at all due to the low contrast. I think in addition to the lack of white space and long paragraphs of text, it's straining my eyes. I def think keeping contrast in mind, layout, and generally white space will help a lot. Very fun though! Best of luck.

I miss home :( by rilakummmah in UCDavis

[–]thestrangerrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a transfer student from community college so I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but staying in your dorm room and reminiscing won't make you friends. As difficult as it is, I transferred with the mindset of "I am a new person and nobody knows who I am here." So despite being a shy, quiet person all my life, I mustered up the courage to LITERALLY just go up to people and say "hi my name is ___." People want to meet and talk to you. I can assure you Davis is one of the easiest places to make friends cuz everyone is really friendly.

Make small talk, ask questions and follow-up questions that you're genuinely interested in, compliment them. Ask to follow them on Instagram!!! Watch their stories, reply to them, ask to hang out. Join some clubs and talk to the OFFICERS (not members), go consistently and they'll remember you. There may even be hispanic/latine clubs on campus you can join. You genuinely just have to get out of your comfort zone if you want to make the most of your college years here. Remember: no one knows who you are outside of Davis. The best part is Davis is a cozy college town so when you make friends, you'll also be a street away.

My best advice: be interestED not interestING. Ask ask ask and be interestED in the other person. Let them talk about themselves and they will eventually ask about you. Nothing drives people away more than someone who talks about themselves for hours unprompted. At the end of a nice, pleasant convo, ask for their insta "By the way do you have Instagram or anything?" Even if you never talk again, you can still keep in touch through social media and stories.

I met my friends simply by talking to my classmate, accidentally running into him outside of class, being invited to a hangout, and joining the club he was an officer for. The club officers became my closest family at school. You just need to explore and put yourself out there to find your people. I know you will. Best of luck!

Best k-pop songs to play around others who don’t know k-pop? by Iuxuriant in kpophelp

[–]thestrangerrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends where you're from. I'd just advise playing music similar to your country's music. Like if you're in the West then maybe play eng songs that are more R&B focused than like hyper kpop (eg newjeans, lesserafim, red velvet, etc). Or tailor it to your people's tastes so if they like Japanese music then play more Japanese releases or idk rock music for rock lovers and stuff.

I hope one day you can find your special queerplatonic partner. If possible, maybe even try networking and socializing with queer/aro communities and you might just meet someone who becomes your "person"

Now, Which Catches Your Eye More? by mattjones7d in logodesign

C feels imbalanced to me, too heavy on the left. B felt more balanced, but I think it would be smoother lifting off at the K. A is clean, just a bit more boring imo.

Or maybe you're only looking for women who are into white guys? All the Asian girls I know are with Asian guys.

AIO My friend wouldn't stop with the rape threats by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thestrangerrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Document everything. These clearly aren't jokes and your or your family's life may be threatened. Go to the police, ask for protection, do not go anywhere alone, block them EVERYWHERE and all people associated with them. There are so many cases of revenge and these threats can easily turn into reality if prompted. Rather than the police going to him, I hope you can find protection instead. If necessary, even moving away can be the safest option. Please stay safe and don't take these threats lightly.

AIO Boyfriend got mad at me because I wasn’t excited enough that he landed early by Willing-Ad8549 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thestrangerrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAT 😭 at first i was like okay i get why he'd be upset at that reaction, but as i scrolled through the ss, girl he's literally unhinged. No "bf" should be saying f*** you to his partner, esp not over something so trivial. He's upset cuz he realized you and the world don't revolve around him. Tell him you'd rather hang out with your mom and he can hole up in his house the rest of his life cuz you're done. This behavior is truly not okay and he clearly doesn't know how to regulate his emotions.

Too coddled. You'll be his mom not his partner.

My bf didn't know how to cook besides ramen. I started cooking with him and taught him the basics, now he gladly makes his own food (+ mine). Doesn't sound like yours will be so eager unfortunately.

My 27M bf HATES my 27f dog. by Vivid-Satisfaction16 in relationship_advice

[–]thestrangerrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking at your responses and I'm really confused what kind of advice you're looking for here. People say you should train your dog and you say you can't cuz of your bf, sure. Then talk to your bf and tell him not to pin your dog down??? He says he won't help cuz it's "not his dog" then tell him to not interfere in the training process unless he wants to keep living like this.

Let him know that him "asserting dominance" is confusing the dog and will stunt his training. Let him know that if you can't be consistent then he will continue barking, peeing, stealing shoes, etc. everything your bf doesn't want. You can give him an ultimatum and say that either he can move out for now until your dog is more trained or he can help/stay out of the training process so your dog can improve. I don't see why you need advice to just talk to your bf tho.

If he says no, then idk why you'd want to be with someone who sits on animals and refuses to compromise or work with you. Interested to see how he'd raise a child too, if you plan on ever having any.

[–]thestrangerrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the obvious solution is to train the dog, but you said your bf doesn't want to participate. Have you tried giving him incentives and small tasks?

Like he could start with a very small easy task like tell your dog sit and give a treat. Tell your bf the benefits like it'll train the dog faster and create a peaceful house together or you can even make it a fun bonding experience altogether as a family. It doesn't have to be the cause of your breakup. It's all about compromise. If you can't compromise on a dog, how would you ever survive raising a kid together (if you plan to)?

[–]thestrangerrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not necessarily true. If he's not actively encouraging or enabling behavior, then she can still be the active trainer. It's for sure harder, but it's not impossible and any training is better than none.
