Hello, first time here I think. I'm trying to trade a Heracross to Gen 2 from Gen 1. I've set up 8F in the following manner:

PARTY

• Pidgey with 233 current HP
• Parasect
• Onix (it's HP is a little banged up at 13/36 but I didn't want to heal and mess with Pidgey)
• Tentacool
• Kangaskhan

BAG

Rare Candy x68

8F

• Lemonade (Start with 7 for Bug type, toss to 1 for Fighting type)
• X-Accuracy (Start 156 for changing first type, toss to 155 for changing second type)
• Carbos x218
• Pokéball x119
• Fresh Water x201

Upon executing it, my types definitely change, but Gen 2 still finds it abnormal. How do I know the types changed? I took MissingNo. into battle with a wild Onix, and it was weak to Rock Throw. I then took it to fight a Tentacool, and it was weak to Acid. So my MissingNo. must be a Grass/Flying type. As much as I love Tropius, I'm not trying to make one of those here. Can anyone tell me where my numbers are wrong? My current ACE setup should be giving me Bug/Fighting, not Grass/Flying.

I want to shiny hunt Colosseum Tropius! However, I'm not sure how to set up Dolphin to best facilitate this. I ripped Japanese Colosseum from its disc, so I can load it into Dolphin on my computer. However, I don't know exactly how to set up Dolphin to have multiple instances of Colosseum running. I've seen some folks go up to eight open windows, and that's what I'd like to do to make this as painless as possible.

I've been looking around for resources on information science, and most routes that a MLIS go down are librarianship and computer science derivative. I have worked in a library and understand how important they are to a community, but I don't think being a librarian is entirely within my wheelhouse, similar to how I don't think teaching is a good fit for me. I am very disinterested in compsci, after running a year in information security. Useful but I don't belong in IT.

I want to use information science to enhance science literacy and combat disinformation. We're in a world RIPE with disinfo conspiracy slop and distrust in facts.

But what jobs even relate to this ambition? As much as I want to tackle unreality spheres with Actual Facts, no one's gonna pay me to smoke an antivaxxer in a comments section with annotated peer-reviewed white papers. If I'm going to use an MLIS for something like this, what is the route I have to take? Or am I off the mark and need to look into a completely different field?

Hi! Third time posting here, though this is maybe more specific than my other questions.

I've had a meeting with my career advisor at my school, and she strongly suggested being a Library Scientist. The way she put it, it's close to being a "professional student", saying that studying the natural sciences in a broad sense, as well as my information security background and my past experience working in a library would be a good fit. So, a couple of questions!

• How do library scientists (or information scientists) work? I worked in a library in high school, but I'm unfamiliar with information science. What actually is the job?

• How would this love for the natural sciences that I have translate to library science? I can't decide on a specific science field to go into, but I love the natural sciences and working with them in an academic sense would be incredibly fun to do.

• I am very keen on combating disinformation! I have the impression that working in a library will be very helpful for doing so. Am I correct in thinking this?

Thank you for you input in advance. I'm very curious about this field but I want to know what I'm actually getting into before I steer into it!

Hi! I'm an author. I got my AA ten years ago, did nothing with it. Got a cert in infosec during lockdown, did nothing with it and watched AI scoop up entry level infosec jobs. Lost interest, but made straight A's. Went back for science to see if taking several off years helped. Got an A in conceptual physics and a B in precalc (ALMOST made an A).

Tried trig. Got walled by trigonometric identities. Tried calculus. Got walled by quotient rule. ADHD made these kinds of problems extremely difficult for me to not just spend thirty minutes trying to solve and tangling it further trying to simplify it.

Currently working a part time office job in a grocery store for $18/hr for uh... full time hours, no benefits! Mentally draining, and physically difficult for my bursitis. Trying to figure out where to go next.

I like the natural sciences (ecology, chem, astronomy, physics, geography, geology, etc), but I'm unwilling to take ADHD medication to improve my potential in math higher than precalc. I know I'm meant to gravitate to the sciences somehow, however. But what specifically, I don't know. I like to know these things, and am comfortable working in academia. I have library experience, working in my high school library in senior year. Lately I've been learning to combat misinformation, as I see much of it everywhere in life. Cybersecurity gave me a 'bullshit radar' that I use all the time at work for antifraud and anti-moneylaundering. So I guess I can add that to my skills? I can see trickery coming a mile away and can strategize to thwart it? I've countered many fraudsters and use that to also help people not get conned at work. (Like when they try to buy $100 Apple gift cards for a Chinese pop star that needs a new laptop.)

So I have some direction. But I don't feel like I have enough to push myself into getting a loan for tuition and going back for a Bachelor's or even a Master's in something. I feel like I need a stronger idea of the end goal. I'm at the point where I'm looking at everything like "could this be a job I can do?" or "I wonder if the person that did this thing has a decent living."

I guess I'm just waiting to have the right thing said to me that helps me discover what I'm meant to do. Like I need to learn how to learn.
