I get genuinely excited when I learn about new genders so it took me a few tries to realize Michigander was about a place (a place where I have a cool friend so I don't want to get in trouble with a whole state.) People in my state are called Washingtonians which is regrettably long and full of syllables
@NickNightfall1711 I will look it up now so thanks! I recently learned about "mirror pronouns" & that's pretty cool. Because we already know folks who put "any pronouns" on their bio & so it's someone who is generally fine with any pronouns but what makes them happiest is when it matches who they talk to in the moment. Honestly "any pronouns" are fine with me (I have even advocated for the few people who prefer it/its) but I stuck with she/her for a long time just to please others. Recently updated my bios to she/they (because my identity isn't strongly associated with womanhood....I just felt like I would stick with the pronouns as a sort of social laziness from birth up until now. But then I kept getting "outed" by well meaning people who had easy access to seeing my she/her pronouns but wanted others to call me "they" (to the point of correcting those who were following my wishes to say "she") so I figure making it clear either are fine will solve this conundrum. Let it be known though that people don't really enjoy being "outed" as non-binary just because someone happens to be trusted with that info, and that if a non-binary person prefers she or he (trust me, many more are out there) that might be a decision made for safety.
@@thedevicebook that's really cool about mirror pronouns! And I feel you and totally agree, I'm non-binary but just use he/him pronouns for safety reasons. Outing someone can be so dangerous, people need to be much more mindful and careful about that.
@NickNightfall1711 oh cool! Love meeting other enbies in the wilds of the internet! Why I said "let it be known" at the end of my paragraph is because I could tell you already knew a lot but some people on comment sections really are trying to learn stuff & just worry they'll be attacked for asking well-meaning questions. I'd love a way to convey tone & intent on the internet because tone indicators aren't well known but also abbreviate it to the point of being useless. The fact /s is read as meaning either the s word sarcastic or serious depending on who you ask is a good example of this.
I once had a “accidental” glow-up in that I just had a new outfit but apparently it looked pretty different from what I normally wore and half my year complimented me and asked if that was my new style and I was just confused as to why these girls where suddenly talking to me and it was weird
@@charlottebuijteweg7160 when I had an accidental “glow up”, in that I went through early puberty and started curling my hair around the same time because I thought it was pretty. No correlation for me. But for my whole grade and the one above me. A total of 6 girls in a group of like 200 didn’t hate my guts. I lost basically all my female friends in the span of less than a week 🥲. On the contrary, boys from all grades started to pay close attention to me (which was weird for some older boys, as I was still in 8th grade 🤨), and I quickly gained an abundance of male friends without correlating why. This literally just made things 10x worse. Dirty looks, scoffs, tongue clicks, whispers, giggles, points. I had a girl tell me “your butt reminds me of a camel” and one tell me “you’re not actually cool, you’re just lucky”. As a 11 and 12 year old with naturally poor social skills, and tons of family-inflicted self esteem, it sucked. I HATED school, especially when I realized that boys only liked me for one reason. After that, I realized no one really liked me at school, so I started being “sick” 😂. I moved before it died down, but I pretty much had the same go until grade 10-11 when everyone else was developing now. kids. Are. MEAN 😬
Man that cap takes me back. My mum is a hairstylist so I remember watching her using those and it always looked so painful and tedious XD glad we don't use them anymore
I did all my hair dye from a home kit in the box & the "chunky highlight" kit had a cap like that with holes in it. You'd pull chunks of hair through the holes so only those would be highlighted while the rest of the hair was left alone. The result looked pretty ok but bleach is never a pleasant smell
@user-wh9ts8bf9j What are you talking about? That's Nokia 3310 😃 Those phones were big part of growing up in Finland (you know where Nokia phones was invented and made 😉 💪)
Im glad Micheal is getting the respect he deserves, as soon as he moved to that new school, he's been a popular kid ever since, it's also great that he seems to be well liked into adulthood.
That’s why I don’t dress for others or change for others I do it because I want to try something different for myself I don’t worry about what other people think ☺️
Oh I got a makeover around that time...a military one LOL! I failed my grade around that time so my father shaved my head to set an example! Ironically enough, I would end up joining the Army in 2008 lol.
I will forever miss my early brick style Nokia phones and my tiny Motorola and my verizon VX8000 and my mini junior blackberry wannabe phone.... *Sigh* I wanted to keep them all but I can't remember now where any of them are 😢. I think I sold one of them for $100 in 2005, I felt like such a boss 😂
I’m curious how this would go down if it was a decade or so later and Michael had a Nokia windows phone... he would probably be bullied for the rest of the year. Of course, that wouldn’t happen since he would probably have the same Nokia 3310 from ten years before. That guy is committed.
Fun fact: next year,Gen Beta will start to 2039 and then after that will be Gens gamma and delta. Millennials and Gen z gonna be really old, and now me, a Gen alpha gonna be old. I can just imagine how messed up the next generations are gonna be considering how this one is already💀 Also, apparently there’s gonna be one called ‘Gen sigma’ starting in 2267…..💀💀💀We should probably run. Oh, and the boomers for sure are gonna be long gone.
Omg I did this in sixth grade after Christmas. I thought everyone would notice my new highlights. The only one who noticed was a substitute teacher lol
You know what really got me as a kid. It was when I had been planning to get a pixie cut for so long and then before I have the chance one of the other kids got a bob and then I got my hair cut and everyone thought I copied her ;-;
This is literally me I went back to school with a new wardrobe with ripped jeans I was never allowed to wear ripped jeans and had my first dye on my hair which it was highlights like again nothing that I would normally be allowed to have I actually got fashionable clothes I got pink french tips and nobody care😢
I remember when i first started doing eyeliner at the beginning of sophomore year thinking i was going to be the coolest person there, but then the popular girls bust on the scene with brand new trendy wardrobes. I didn't stand a chance
