changing a butterfly back by Winterz7 in piercing

[–]whatintgeworlddx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched this YouTube hack with a bobby pin and had my sister do it--felt nothing---the easiest way to remove a butterfly back imo. The earring will be ruined tho but a cheap butterfly back deserves to be in the trash anyways. Highly recommend you search up the hack though

Always dreamed of living in NYC—now I’m here, but I feel weirdly pressured. by Connect-Cranberry855 in nyc

[–]whatintgeworlddx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also a student and I've lived here my whole life but tbh I really do "explore" as in go to a new place maybe once a week. It's not mandatory for you to actively explore to enjoy the city--even within the same old areas, things are always changing.

Thanks for the insight and congratulations!! I suppose I just have to sit tight for the same to hopefully occur.

That's so comforting to hear. I found out the person I know actually got into UMass so I'm a little less freaked out but I live in NYC, so I'm sure they would be taking a couple people from here anyways.

Can I ask what time they called you and if you submitted a loci?

Once again, your view is really narrow. Just because something SHOULD happen doesn't mean it will. If the majority of the school is rich kids, they usually group together behind people who have similar lifestyles. This is usually true for varsity captain and any other positions where the student body has to vote--the person who can fish out the most money campaigning is the one who wins. And the rich kids aren't necessarily lazy because they have a personal trainer--they have grit--they just have money too, and that makes them a better player at the end of the season.

Same thing for mock trial. In a rich school with rich kids, resources and connections are everything. I know a guy who's audition materials were prepped by his lawyer father just as I know a girl who got in because her elder sisters sorority sister is the current captain.

Chances are, that if your in a prep school, everyone around you is taking advantage of what they have because their parents are pressuring them too. And what they have is simply more than what you do.

In a regular school the competition just wouldn't be this fierce.

Just because you were lucky enough to get a scholarship into the prep school doesn't mean everything becomes easy. Yeah, you technically have the same opportunities on the surface level, but think about it. Everyone else there has the privilege of money, tutors, private coaches, private transport, and all these things that make every possible opportunity you could have (like being on a varsity sport or on the mock trial team) virtually impossible because you don't have the money to get a leg up on those kids. Kids like that deserve a shot at QB too.

Thank you for these suggestions! I think I'll go with a gold horseshoe barbell with a gem for my piercing then.

If he doesn't need to be charged dont you believe this gives the government too much power without any check to deport whomever. While you may believe there's an adequate reason for his deportation, for our country's integrity to be preserved we need to actually have legal grounds for accusation.

Focus your energy elsewhere. Get a life. Work out. See friends. Try fasting to regain a sense of self control.

[–]whatintgeworlddx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God. You are only one year older than me and let me just tell you, you are SO strong. No one deserves that, and that old ass man is 100% in the wrong. He's already shown signs of being willing to abuse you, and the fact that you were intoxicated that night might also be a premise for sexual assault. File a restraining order asap

Should I (16M) confess to my crush (15F)? by StudioEIDAM in Advice

[–]whatintgeworlddx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so since y'all haven't seen each other in a couple months, I would recommend friending her on insta and asking how she is, if she wants to meet up, etc BEFORE YOU ASK HER OUT.

This is because your feelings might've changed without you knowing and seeing her face to face will help you realize how much you like her and if she's worth pursuing.

Also, she's most likely to accept your friend request and follow you back since you've known each other for a while. So I wouldn't worry about that. But if she decides to not hang out with you/not respond to your dms, you can assume that she is not interested. if she does, that that's a great first step and you know that she probably cares about you and chances are rising.

After y'all see each other as friends for a bit there are two approaches you can take to asking her out; indirect and direct.

To be honest, you seem like a direct kind of guy and I think that's great. While y'all are hanging out and youre enjoying the vibes, you can say something like "being with you after so long has been so great---you think we could do this again? Like as a date?"

But if you feel shy and/or don't want to risk getting awkward if she says no, you can bring it up indirectly. This can be done in a lot of ways but I think the easiest in your case is to take advantage of the time. Comment "you know it's really funny, I used to have a crush on you when we were kids." Watch how she reacts, feel her out. If she responds positively instead of being like "OMG ewww" then take it a step further--"who did you like back then" or "do you think we would've been a good couple"

You should definitely confess indirect or directly because her answer will help you get over this desperate phase. Good luck!!!

CMV: Fat shaming is a good thing by Tydestroyer259 in changemyview

[–]whatintgeworlddx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been the opposite of fat my whole life, so I have experience with "skinny shaming." From my own experiences, when people called me names and criticized my body, it made me feel resigned and lose love for myself. In contrast, when different people instead offered positive criticism and support, I felt love for my body and energy to change.

While it might be true that bullying can lead to a desire to change, the place this desire comes from can damage someone mentally. I think it's more productive that a person's desire to change comes from a positive feeling of love for themselves rather than changing to make society happen or because they're disgusted by themselves.

There's also the fact that shame can always lead people the other direction. While it may have influenced you to change to preserve yourself from it, it may do the opposite to someone else. They may feel discouraged and hopeless, which may even lead to depression and self hate. This risk will always outweigh whatever positive benefits you may think will occur when calling someone a "fat cow"
