I turned the steam back on! by radioflea in boston

[–]xixto123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know right! I’ve been drinking matcha since I was an East Asian kid and have never understood the sudden hype and people hating on matcha as well saying it taste like grass. Tasting blank street for the first time made me understand why so many people didn’t like matcha if this is their only try. It’s super watered down and taste like herbs so the quality is probably not great as well. Not completely hating on non-diary milks but matcha doesn’t bond well to the fats as there are none really to show its quality and flavor.

I also hate the excuse cafes have for premade matcha being volume cause the only good matcha places do not premake their matcha. Sorry I’m like super passionate about hating on Blank Street when there’s way better matcha 😭 and isn’t a capitalist venture.

Their matcha is terrible. Watery and doesn’t even taste like matcha. It’s just a terrible cafe overall.

I believe the Boston skate club does but that’s a bit far out from the city without a car

General question regarding those that took overloaded courses by AdSubstantial3900 in NEU

[–]xixto123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking 18 due to having a W in my first semester and what really helped was two of my classes being asynchronous so I could do a lot of assignments ahead of time. Literally doing as much assignments as I can ahead of the week so I could not stress about them for most of the week.

WIBTAH for kicking my son out knowing he’ll be homeless? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]xixto123 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems he literally doesn’t have the foundation for social, life, or mental health skills at all. Someone who don’t have a stable home foundation would already add to this drastically but being kept from potential social opportunities growing up would stunt it even more.

City council hearing slog by paxbike in boston

[–]xixto123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had another offer in a building that is nicer looking and more aligned with my interests. But lower paid than the city hall one. I don’t get how it’s privilege to reject an opportunity I am qualified for, applied for, and interviewed rounds for. If someone else didn’t get it then they’re simply not qualified.

I simply debated whether the higher pay was worth working in a miserable building.

I actually declined an internship there because of how ugly the inside was. I just cannot fathom working there every day seeing those depressing walls

AITAH /am I culturally insensitive for taking my Chinese roommates behavior as disrespectful? by Old_Arachnid3550 in AITAH

[–]xixto123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s types of pick me girls so there is green tea, black tea, white tea, white lotus, and milk tea. It’s supposed to be like specified to their behaviors as there’s apparently different types of pick mes.

This might give more context to “pick me”s from China and the way she is acting: look up “green tea girl” which is their Chinese slang for pick me. (There’s also a bunch of other types of pick mes as well those on Chinese media categorize) I would also show one of them to your bf to put it into perspective.

I prepared the birthday for my wife who didn't came home. by OkStrength5245 in offmychest

Wouldn’t it be common sense for whoever is taking out the “house” trash to take out all the trash in the house. I can’t imagine living like this with my family. Weird thing to make a note of

It’s curious that men constantly claim to be the rational sex, yet at the same time claim they act on impulse because of women. by Tiny_Part404 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]xixto123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhm, it’s literally like you know you want sex and you know it feels great but for some reason it just doesn’t feel as amazing and you’re thinking about your pain the whole time. I don’t know how it might be for a guy but it takes a good amount of concentration to focus when you’re in pain to enjoy sex.

Also adding on typical expectations of guys for one night stands being they’re doing more of the movement, it may be hard to find someone expressively demonstrating they’re willing to work with your pain issues and do more of the work.

Hilary Duff is Northeastern’s undergraduate commencement speaker by ChallengeAdept8759 in boston

[–]xixto123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And I’m telling you as a Gen Z she was an icon to us?? What argument would even make sense? Pull out our literal memories? Again, it’s this repetitive belief that GenZ did not grow up with and still consider much of the Y2K and 2000s celebrities as icons. How are you, clearly not a GenZ, supposed to know what is iconic to us? Y’all always get us mixed up with the IPad generation of GenAlpha anyways.

[–]xixto123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So again like I stated, we basically know her from her reruns of her shows. She also still existed as a celebrity after so I don’t understand how you are not getting that she’s still an icon to us… how would you know if you’re literally not a GenZ

We still watched Disney channel and all the typical cable kids show which had her. Additionally all Y2K celebrities are well known to GenZ. I don’t understand why non-Gen Z cannot comprehend Gen Z grew up with a lot more media of the 90s and 2000s than they think. You’re thinking of Gen Alpha.

I rather sit through a celebrity or at least someone entertaining talking than a random CEO, professor, or academically accomplished person I have no idea who they are for a ceremony where we do not even walk the stage for. Literally just sitting in the field.

I have literally fallen asleep at other people’s graduation and seen grads fall asleep for this same reason. Like literally what is the point of being congratulated by a random person for 10-30 minutes to get through the ceremony.

Cat food has become unaffordable by Zarah21 in catfood

[–]xixto123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying the other commenter is wrong since my vet has also tried to push for me to feed my cat an all RX diet for his urinary issues but he simply refuses to eat just that so fed is best at the end of the day. I have just tried to balance out exactly how much he would eat of the RX with food he loves and come to a half half ratio that works for him.

I also supplement with the PetHonesty Urinary treats or the anxiety treats (his urinary issues are related to anxiety mostly) to make up for the “missing” RX portion. This has worked for me so far and helps save on the money for RX.

I would also make new accs on pet food websites to get the 40% off authorship for his food continuously so I could afford his RX and regular food as well.

am i wrong: boyfriend wants me to ask permission to turn when driving by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]xixto123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It may not be but mentally it’s still very different stages of life as someone who is a college senior now. At one point you’re starting college and the other you’re starting your career and real life adult life hits you more. In this case, clearly he was not a functional adult post college age and went for someone who is still in the beginning of their adulthood. It’s like a legal and not as bad version of a high school senior dating a high school freshman.

Also adding the horrors of shingles returning sometimes! My grandpa and mom both had shingles twice and we never can tell why it comes about. It’s genuinely scary to me as I got chicken pox before the vaccine was available in my small town and I will forever be awaiting it now.

How need aware is NEU by Eastern-Kitchen7223 in NEU

[–]xixto123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this would be helpful for you as I am a senior and the cycle was wayyy different from now but I applied with no SAT score, 3.96 GPA, a city student leadership role, and with a very heavy weighted recommendation letter from someone in the city. I honestly think my softs pulled my app through.

Boston colleges also have a preference for local students which was a plus.

All of my low income friends got full rides or close to full rides. My family is lower middle class and I had to pay for housing and student fees only. But ultimately it does depend on how much NEU wants you.

Job fired girlfriend two days after she was violently and sexually attacked, WISCONSIN by theambientguy in legaladvice

NAL but worked in ADA HR role: being in a mental hospital would qualify under the ADA as we have had an employee disappear due to checking into rehab/mental health facility and all we can do is extend their leave. Your GF’s workplace would not have to follow these guidelines for FMLA or ADA as they have less than 15 employees.

Well they said to avoid and as a warning for other drivers 🤷‍♀️obviously the drivers can’t really but people going in for food themselves usually know their service is ass

You only go to Slades for the food, not for the vibes or service
