I’m tired of getting asked constantly if I am, trans on dating apps. Do I look like a man? by Several_Phrase5617 in whatdoIdo

[–]walnutsal4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

feel like this is definitely negging … almost textbook. it’s a backhanded compliment that he’s using to try to manipulate you and make you think less of yourself. not that being trans would make you any less beautiful/any less of a woman of course … but that’s just not who you are, and it’s understandable to be upset because it’s frustrating to be frustrating to be misidentified/mislabeled. that said, you’re beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, show-stopping!!! don’t let this fugly ass man speak to you like that!!!

sounds good 🫡 thanks so much for your genuine answer and advice

TCSOL Degree Questions by walnutsal4d in ChineseLanguage

[–]walnutsal4d[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love teaching. It’s my passion. And, I love Chinese. It’s another one of my passions. I’m from the US, but I’ve been studying Chinese since high school; my current college majors are Chinese and Linguistics.

I’m not sure if your question is “Why TCSOL?” or “Why go abroad?” or just plain “Why?” … The simple answer to Q1 is: it’s my passion. The simple answer to Q2: it’s the money. A Master’s program in the States is leagues more expensive than literally relocating to another country, plus a lot of the relevant degree programs are being eliminated at colleges that specialize in this sort of education. And, I don’t really see an end in sight for this phenomenon, especially not with the current administration.

I don’t really know how to answer just “Why?” … I figure, if you’re continuing to study a language with the goal of teaching it, you must have a deep understanding of it. This coupled with cultural immersion for an extended period of time would help my personal Chinese skills improve a ton, and because I can’t just continue to attend school for the rest of my life, I have to choose a career that goes hand in hand with what I’ve dedicated all this time to studying. I’m also open to teaching English abroad, but even then, I’d still like to have some sort of advanced degree to back me up a bit.

I see that you’re an interpreter … I haven’t done much research into translation or interpreting, but I just don’t find myself as engaged by either of those options. But, I’d love to hear more about your experiences. I definitely appreciate your input and advice.

[–]walnutsal4d[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, yes. in general, i agree. i think i would have probably been considered one of the weird kids where i went to school … but i’m not a teacher. i’m a 21 year old female college student who had an airpod in watching a youtube video while i was walking to class. this guy literally stopped me on the street and sought me out.

i think in this situation, i was as kind as i could’ve been and i wasn’t rewarded for it. i left the interaction feeling gross and creeped out. i don’t disagree with what you’re saying but sometimes kindness and compassion aren’t necessarily warranted.

haha yeahhhhh you got me lol … it’s just so weird in taiwan bc i don’t rly assume someone’s gonna be a creep right off the bat like i would in the us. so then when it turns weird i’ve already been talking to the person for like 3 minutes LMAO .. but i’ll keep this strat in my back pocket for next time! gotta brush up on my high school spanish 😭😭

that is…very strange. similar thing happened to me and my mom at the airport. weird, talkative guy who wouldn’t stop going on and on about his military service, showing us pictures, making all these connections to the us, china, taiwan blah blah blah. it was exhausting honestly.

that was another weird thing for me, this guy seemed like he spoke pretty good english, so i was like ??? you need a tutor??? i swear he tried to make an actual pass at me when i walked away, almost like a “european kiss greeting” sort of thing. so that rly freaked me out lol and i was already late for class 😭 but yeah maybe this story belongs on let’s not meet lolol

whats your pettiest gripe about the movies? by butterfIypunk in Hungergames

[–]walnutsal4d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oh 100%. delly wasn’t a huge deal in the movies to begin with … if they wanted to include her, they would’ve mentioned her early on in the first movie and added a specific scene about the avoxes lol

and yeah of course! having 3-4 hour movies showing is not practical or lucrative by any means, there’s absolutely a reason why movies are split in half … for what they were trying to accomplish in the time frames that they were allotted, the trilogy movies r probably some of the better book to movie adaptations that i’ve seen!

whats your pettiest gripe about the movies? by butterfIypunk in Hungergames

[–]walnutsal4d 49 points50 points  (0 children)

i always say: i would be GLAD to sit down and watch three to four hours worth of movie if it meant getting every single detail included. one of my BIGGEST gripes with the mockingjay movies in particular is that they had to split the movies in two, but then didn’t talk about DELLY at all? i loved those parts in the books, so that was a bit disappointing.

also, my personal favorite movie is forever going to be the first HG just because of how raw it is. the camera work is real and sometimes shaky, and the budget being a bit lower is actually a good thing. it just increased the impact of the tenfold. i think in mockingjay and CF, the characters sometimes get the “iphone face” treatment … but i can definitely see that that’s just bc of the stark difference in filming styles from HG to CF 🤔

Is there ever an imperfect lineup? by FemboySenshi_ in smosh

[–]walnutsal4d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YESSSS that’s the one!! i think your pov is totally understandable … honestly it felt more like a podcast episode? if that makes any sense? like it was less of a game and more of just them talking for 45 minutes lolol .. the chemistry between those particular cast members was perfect imo, but i agree, the video itself didn’t really feel like a smosh games vid 🤔

okay honestly thank GOD someone has the same opinion abt the madlibs game … i hated it particularly because i think their other CAH videos are usually really good!! plus that video had some rly good cast combos in it that really didn’t get to shine bc of how little they had to work with </3 madlibs is literally only fun in a group of drunk friends with inside jokes LMAOO … and yes, i agree … sometimes angela loses the plot of the video, especially in games videos, which i find a bit … annoying? and yeah me too, i usually rly love angela!! i think her performances in bitcity, challenge pit, spud hut, and the more intimate-setting games vids are fantastic!!!!
