Im 18 but i dont have my license yet and theres no public transportation in my city, the gym is 4min away by car but its a 30minute walk from my house , i want to just walk there but my parents say its dangerous and i do live in a suburban area that isnt really walkable and the sidewalks are really inconsistent but i hate being stuck at home all the time. I dont have a bike and i feel like that would get stolen anyways, and im a girl

im new to guitar and im trying to pick between the fender mustang lt25 or boss katana mini amp. Im only be going to be playing in the bedroom of my apartment so i dont need something super loud, im trying to pick the most affordable option here, unless its better for me to go with the katana 50 in the long run ?😭

I dont usually get starbucks but i tried this drink and it was delicious 😭 does anyone know how they make it?

I turn 18 this month and I know it sounds too soon for me to buy a car since i only have about $1500 saved up, but thats part of the reason why i was thinking about buying a car when i have a bit more saved. Or helping my parents pay for one (obviously not a brand new car). Because with my job i can only work 3 days a week since those are my dads off days. And the job options in my city are mostly limited, so if i had a car i could drive to other cities and even find a better job because at mine i dont even get to work the full 3 days every week. But in the future i really want to move states because ive always hated living in NC and i dont see myself staying here forever. But at the same time shipping cars is expensive and its also impossible to get around w/o a car with the city i live in. And the places im considering moving later on are basically across the country so that would take hours of driving unless i settle on moving to virginia. Would it be a good idea to just buy a used car when i have enough money and just pick up a lot of shifts at work? Or with car insurance and gas would it still be hard to save up?what do you think?

Im 17, (still a junior in hs) ive been working at a fast food place since late january. I like it and hate it at the same time and i wasnt going to quit until finding a new job but me and my family are going on a trip this weekend and im scheduled to work both days. I know it sounds stupid to quit your job for a trip but i have all summer to find a new job and im slower at understanding things so ive been starting to think fast food isnt for me. The supervisor had to correct me after making the same mistake twice and that isnt the first time that happened. My availability is also 3 days a week because those are the only days my dad can take me and i started off working 3 days but theyve only been scheduling me one day a week lately and thats not the first time they did that. The only reason why im working 2 days this week is bc someone asked if i could pick up their shift. and this isnt the first time they did that, at one point i was so ready to quit because they were giving me one shift a week and telling me to clock out 1-2 hours earlier then scheduled. The only reason i didnt quit is because of a class i was taking at school. How do i go about doing this? i know i have to show up and give them my uniform and nametag but can i just send the manager a polite email and go in and ask them to give the manager my uniform

I feel like people need to take out their anger on the organizers of the wasian meetups rather than wasians in general. For the organizer account to be called “HALF ASIA spring”, and ONLY center their posts about wasians and not have anything about blasians or half asian latinos is definitely weird. But ive seen people say that the wasian meetups are just promoting eugenics, comparing it to the KKK, saying us wasians are centering our whiteness and calling the meetups “spiritually israeli” which is just weird. Yes the events should have been more inclusive but i really dont think that most people who went to the meetups had bad intentions or were trying to “center their whiteness”. I grew up with a filipino mom who told me to embrace being half white and having lighter skin to the point where she even made me dye my hair lighter just so id appear fully white, and i absolutely hated it. And im sure there are other wasians whose asian parent had internalized racism like this as well. But this isnt to say that wasians dont center their whiteness, because of course some definitely do, but my point is that this centering whiteness isnt a problem with just wasians, but asia in general, considering the beauty standards and how obsessed asians are with having pale skin.
