These two are my FAVORITES! Except I tried scrolling through the internet to find more, but most of them are about anti-ai slop (in which yes I hate AI especially since they use the “Ghibli-animation”, but obv not the type to send them to my fellow Ghibli-lovers) or they use the ai Ghibli-like animation memes (EW, hate those people). anyways, so does anyone have any other good ones? They always give me a good laugh 😂
My friend sent me this video right after I told them I watched Raputa (Castle in the Sky) for whatever-th number of time! Thought it was hilarious LOL
(couldn't download directly so had to screenrecord, and the frames are bad for that reason!)
I usually get honorable mentions in mid-stakes conferences…but I also feel like bigger conferences the better for experience/college apps. should I attend it, and it would be great if anyone could give me insights on that conference!
I do love those ”symbolism” and “what could this mean”, especially when analyzing literary texts and movies, so that’s why I want to ask everyone if there’s any meaning in this, or if this is just those “random dreams”.
i don’t remember much, but I think I was going to be in a car accident? I remember knowing that my head was going to hit the wall in front of me, causing me to die. (This is where is gets obscure..I might have thought about how I should have said I love you or whatever to my family…or maybe that was a causal thought I thought later although prob not.) and then I remember closing my eyes a split second before suppsedky dying that “I know I’m going to survive” (in a lot of dreams, especially when I am running away form something, I close my eyes and wish really hard (“ie to be able to jump really far away [from the person I’m chased by]”). anyways, I *thinj* I survived in that dream, but I’m not so sure.
for myself as a person, I think I keep on coping (running away from actually doing the work I need to do, and such)…and pretty optimistic (reliant on those “I’ll be fine” because of the past successes that’s worked for some miracle. Is this a sign that I need to stop relying on these final “luck moments”? (Someone trying to kill the self that copes/runs away vs keep on having that coping personality with that “split second hope before the car crash”?)
any interpretation is welcome! And if anyone of you all have also similarly died in a dream, I would love to hear your dreams!!!!!( I LOVE dreams and their stories!)
basically the title. for a unit test or any quiz, I’m so used to just rewriting all the notes to study, but it often takes forever (as you can imagine) to rewrite, especially since I like using my iPad’s Freeform (just with color switching or eraising etc). so is it better to just review that day of notws on one day/in three days/7 days and use active recall to remember better? (I think my issue is writing clean in class without missing the details but my handwriting gets so messy when writing quickly :/)
I‘ve going through different methods of studying, and one of my favorites is using Freeform on my ipad (the big size). however, since I study for like 2 hours at a time, often also for different subjects, it overheats really quickly, and really delays the writing.
for those who do use freedom and/or ipad notes, how long do you use it from without facing these issues? It honestly gets really annoying quickly when it just randomly freezes when you finally etart understanding these concepts :(
please redirect if this is the wrong sub)
Just a few minutes ago, I saw a post/joke about how using Brave is for tech-illiterate folks :(
and just a few weeks ago I switched from chrome (very bad, I know) —> duckduckgo (really liked its duckplayer blocking ads except on vpn and also no ai) —> brave (because I thought it was the most secure, but apparently it’s not! although wasn’t a fan of their ai that I couldn’t turn off and their automatic brace ads)
Ive tried Firefox few times, but keep on switching back to different browsers, but I think I just did’t like their tab designs.
so now I need to ask the tech-literate folks: which browser is the “best“ for security and ad-blocking if possible? I do store somewhat a lot of info in my computer mainly so I do want to keep my data pretty secure!
was aiming for August, but now aiming for September sat, but would love study buddies for the sat for whichever test! (im still going to grind questions rither way) discord or any platform would be fine! yay!
do you have any websites/books you recommend? (doesn’t have to be a sat-specific book)
I tried using Aniko, but felt really ambiguous, and the thing is CB only has limited number of questions. Is oneprep's free 400 questions the most realistic one?
I also heard UWorld's paid version is good, but I don't think I can afford to pay it (I have 0 income, and I don't think my parents would pay for it.) :(
There are definitely many pros and cons to this.
Although there will be biases, I feel like this idea of “effective, supportive environment” should be taken into account when being hired as a manager or any other supervising role as creating a supportive space is one of the most effective ways to boost your company’s productivity. with higher ups not knowing how the applicants’ actually treating their colleagues, they might end up becoming a problem causing more issues for the HR.
although, ultimately HR probably does not care about complaints from lower level employees and will just fire them (I know it’s not this simple, but I’m sure many companies do this!).
this might be those “3am thoughts” that I’m missing a huge aspect when considering the effectiveness of this.
might be because of hormones (just finished period), but acne doesn’t go away!
(also, initially put flair as product question, but also is “help-general)
for a brief timeline: for two ish months, I used the panoxyl 10% everynight (30min ish before I sleep?) and acne got better. (although I’m sure I skipped few nights). Then, stopped temporarily two? ish months ago and started a week ago. I think panoxyl did work somewhat in the first two ish months, although sometimes the inconsistency really bloated the acne and killing the progress made, so I’m not sure if panoxyl works for me or not.(am I supposed to apply/wash two times a day; once in the morning, once at night?????)
I do honestly sweat a lot when I’m sleeping ans I do sleep on my cheeks on the pillow, so that could def be the reason for the acne. i also sleep at like 12-1am ish recently, waking up at like 9 (trying to fix the schedule to sleep at 11, wake up at 6:30). i also do exercise for around 2hours a day including running.
So:
1)Am I using panoxyl correctly???
2)Should I try other products??
3)How can I improve/take away my acne, especially from might right cheek?? (I have no idea why my right is worse than the left)
-also, how I use panoxyl:I wash my face (with water), apply it and rub it on my face for around 1min (mostly on the acne parts) , then wash it off with water, take a paper towel and wipe the water off ;kind of like patting down against my face?)
-for two days in a row, my face has been itchy, and I keep on scratching it, which has def worsened my right cheek, and created the small acne on my left (how can I get rid of this as well??????) I’m going to def stop myself from touching my face from now on.
sorry for the spelling errors, my phone does not autocorrect! And sorry for the many questions!! I am super frustrated with these acne’s!!!!!!
also, lip/eye markup for funzies :D
*mahy question marks as when I am so confused by everything I tend to text with many question marks 🤦♀️🤦♀️
for a quick context, I work for multiple non profits (don’t hate!!) and some side-volunteering for fun. the problem is, when I receive an email, I read it quickly (bad habit I suppose?) and forget…and sometimes when I do recall it, I procrastinate and forget until very last minute.
I am very passionate about all the things I commit to, and I don’t think this is a problem of over committing but more of a procrastination (doing these until the very last minute for me). (I don’t believe the problem is overcommitting as I’ve had issues even in seasons where there is minimal work to be done).
do you have any advice for how I can stop procrasiantion and do things on the spot (ie reading emails all at once and then replying)? I feel incredibly guilty for all the people I have caused harm in (due to the procrastination) and want to end this lifestyle asap!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! i know this is a gradual process, but would love to know how you all overcame this if you did :)
(to clarify, I often overthink about past things I have said or done…often out of whim. It really drags nysekf down especially as someone with not too many friends (I do have some close friends I can say anything to!) and struggling with making more friends often due to past things Ibgave accidentally said that waw wrong to say/wrong people to say it to! :(
I sometimes like to be that “observing”/symbolism person (when I’m in the mood)…so bear with me.
as i was listening/watching the wonderful season 1 OP (FAV song!)…you can see how it basically explains how Saiki’s life evolves before va after his friends and stuff…eventually changing his personality in a good way.
and then I read the comments and I JUST realized that there is ”symbolism“ to this!! (so credits to them), and quickly explained: The story is obviously told through the animation/story in the OP itself with lonely Saiki vs Saiki with friends at the end..but also here comes the symbolism!! the flower petal that keeps on falling that Saiki observes yet does nothing in the beginning(selfishness)…vs reversing time and putting back the petals back together.
and then I see another comment that makes me realize that TORITSUKA is singing this!! how could I have not realized??!
so here’s my question: was there a “symbolism”/“significance” (I know symbolism isn’t the right word here…but whatever) to Toritsuka singing this? (I know there is a parody scene later on where he sings this (and yet I did not fully (I probably realized when I saw the scene yet forgot) comprehend this)) but is it something with that)? or is it kind of special that Toritsuka is singing it because he is basically the only one in season one that knows about his superpowers…therefore kind of empowers Saiki in a way that is different from the “average people”? would love to hear your insights!!!!!
Honestly I am really tired today, so maybe it was just a simple “it’s because x” explanation and I don’t have enough energy to think that. also, I am still in a lot of shock for not rwalizing the symbolism + Toritsuka singing as someone who rewatched the whole series at least 10 times!! (even if that is normal…I still can’t believe I didn’t fully remember that Toritsuka was singing this…uggh!!)
Rising junior, and I really want to improve my creative writing...which is why I cam here to ask for your advice.
I want to admit that I use AI often so help myself learn..and this includes essay writing...but not creative, but more like analytical essays. However, AI def. has it's own 'monotone' that it's taken my own voice from creative writings. I just don't know how to write creatively anymore. It's really unfortunate that my school/English classes in the past has not done any creative writings as I remember being so excited. (To clarify, I won't blame English classes for not having these opportunities.)
So here's my question: do you have any advice so I can get my 'voice back'? and 'practice' writing essays (ie for scholarships)? I honestly just have no idea how to write professionally (ie in contrast to my tone in this post lol)...while still having the narrative (the 'voice) when explaining/answering the prompt. Please don't shame me for using AI 'too much'! I def regret it, and I am here to improve:(
I've been getting much better at basic skills/control of the ball (though still improving), but does anyone have tips for 1v1s?
When I mean by this, this is mostly when (for example), a forward (opponent) is trying to score and you are the defender.....or if the forward is infront of you with their back facing you, and you are trying to get the ball from them from behind. It seems that everytime I try, they are much faster at moving, and end up scoring in the goal....or maybe a defender isn't right for me!!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks:)
*Not season 7, but Season FOUR!!LOL
Please don't hate me for this!!
I never read any of the mangas (no reason), and only watched the anime. I got interest into the anime series right before Anime Season 4 came out, so unfortunantely I am not an original fan (if that matters). I was really into the whole series, but as I was waiting for Season 4 anime episodes to come out every week, it just felt longer...and longer...and that the ideas were so overused..and at this point it felt like the directors were really stretching out the story (if you know what I mean).
I genuinely could not keep my interest further, and quit. I really did enjoy the seasons 1-3 (i guess 4), and I get really hyped up when I hear stories about the anime since it was honestly a huge deal for me.
Thanks for listening, but out of curiosity...did anyone feel that way? Or at least had a phase and came back to it afterall?
