Hi, I made this one. I've played Wordle-likes for years and always wanted to build my own, but I never had an idea that felt like mine.

The push came from a strange place. Half of what I read these days is written by AI, and it's never short. Every email, every doc, twelve words where five would do. At some point I said the phrase out loud, long story short, and realised it was a game.

So: you get a twelve-word sentence. You rephrase it in exactly five of its own words. Real English, same meaning, your job is to work out which words carry the sentence and which are just dressed up to look important. Scoring is Wordle style, blue for right word in the right spot, orange for in the answer but elsewhere, grey for out. Five tries, one sentence a day.

My wife and my brother were the playtesters. An early version let "the" beat proper words in the answer, which felt awful to lose to, so the answers now always favour the concrete word. That one change ate a whole weekend.

I don't get why people hate school so much. It helps you build a schedule. It helps you with organization. It builds critical thinking skills, teamwork, reading, writing, mathematics, and science skills, and maybe even some technology skills. You get to make some great relationships and friends that can last you for a lifetime. You can get help from teachers or professors for a passion project. There are printers and libraries. Can you comment down below why you hate it? Cause for me I've been a straight-A student. I don't really put in too much effort and I get good scores and good grades. Can you explain why in the comments?

I'm looking for 40 people (min) who want to work from home and who are committed .I'll pay you $20 an hour. Candidates interested in working part-time or full-time.

I recently graduated from high school (science stream), and I honestly have no idea which career path I should choose. I’m hoping people here who are already working in these industries, especially internationally, can give me some realistic advice.

My long-term goal is to move abroad and build a stable career there, so I’m not only thinking about which degree I can complete. I’m also thinking about job opportunities, immigration/PR possibilities, salary, AI disruption, work-life balance, and whether the field will still be good when I graduate.

Right now, I’m considering engineering, computer science, and accounting/finance.

1. Engineering — probably Civil or Electrical

My parents strongly recommend engineering because they believe it is one of the safest options if I eventually want to move abroad.

I understand why they say that. Engineering seems like a relatively stable and internationally recognized profession, and there seems to be demand for engineers in many countries. My idea would be to do my bachelor's here and potentially pursue a master's abroad.

The biggest problem is physics.

I come from a science background, but physics has always been one of my weakest subjects. Honestly, if engineering didn't involve so much physics, I would probably be much more interested in it. I’m especially unsure about Civil or Electrical Engineering because I don't know whether I would actually enjoy studying and working in those fields.

So I'm wondering: is engineering really worth forcing yourself into if you're not naturally good at physics? Or is physics mostly difficult during university and not necessarily representative of the actual career?

2. Computer Science

CS is another option because I have a science background and I know it can provide opportunities internationally.

But I'm really confused about the current situation.

Everywhere I look, people are saying things like:

- "Don't study CS anymore."

- AI is going to replace software developers.

- Entry-level software jobs are becoming extremely difficult to get.

- There are way too many CS graduates compared with the number of jobs.

- Companies want experienced developers even for junior positions.

- The market is already oversaturated.

At the same time, I also see people saying that software, AI, cybersecurity, cloud, etc. will continue growing and that there will still be huge demand for skilled people.

I would graduate around 2030–2031, so I'm particularly worried about what the market will look like by then rather than what it looks like today.

I'm not someone who is obsessed with coding either. I could learn it and become good at it, but I don't know if I want to spend my entire career doing software development.

So is CS genuinely becoming a bad career choice, or is Reddit exaggerating the situation because the entry-level market is currently difficult?

3. Accounting / Finance

This is probably the field I have the most personal interest in.

I actually find finance and accounting interesting, even though I didn't study accounting in high school. I'm considering doing a bachelor's degree alongside ACCA, and potentially moving abroad later for further study/work. My original long-term idea was eventually becoming a CPA in another country.

The problem is that I keep hearing that accounting and finance are difficult fields for international students, especially when it comes to getting sponsored jobs or permanent residency.

I've also heard that:

- Entry-level accounting jobs aren't particularly well paid.

- International students can struggle to find jobs.

- Some finance roles are extremely competitive.

- Certain countries have limited pathways to permanent residency for these professions.

- The work can involve long hours, especially in certain finance/accounting careers.

- AI and automation may also eliminate some basic accounting work.

But then I also hear that accountants will always be needed because businesses need financial reporting, taxation, auditing, compliance, etc.

So I'm really confused about whether accounting/finance is actually a bad choice for someone whose goal is to study abroad and eventually settle there, or whether I'm just seeing the negative side of Reddit.

What makes this decision so difficult

I feel like every option has a major risk:

Engineering:

Good international prospects and potentially stable, but I hate physics and I'm not sure I'd enjoy the actual work.

Computer Science:

Potentially excellent salary and international opportunities, but I'm worried about AI, oversaturation, and the extremely competitive entry-level market.

Accounting/Finance:

I'm genuinely interested in it and could pursue ACCA, but I'm worried about international job opportunities, sponsorship/immigration, salary, and competition.

I also don't want to choose a degree just because everyone says it's "safe" and then spend four years realizing I don't like the field.

At the same time, I don't want to choose something based purely on interest and later discover that there are very few opportunities for international graduates.

I'm basically looking for advice from people who are actually in these industries rather than just people repeating what they've heard online.

If you were in my position, graduating high school in 2026 and planning to graduate university around 2030–31, which path would you choose and why?

I'd especially appreciate perspectives from people who have studied/worked abroad, hired graduates, or are currently working in engineering, CS, accounting, or finance.

I'm honestly pretty overwhelmed by this decision right now, so any realistic advice—good or bad—is appreciated.

Hello fellow redditors, I was curious if anyone may have tips on where to access a totallyyyy legal free version of my school textbooks.. perhaps a downloadable pdf. I’ve already exercised my resources (oceanofpdf and welib), and I’m desperate as each textbook is about $150-$200 and I am out of scholarship money. The ISBNs are ** **9781544380506 and 978-154338-994-4 and then 978-1-54338-994-4

A study published in Scientific Reports compared active navigation using AR to passive observation in VR, finding that participants who physically walked through space showed enhanced memory formation. The researchers also note that the structure of the physical environment influences how memories are organized. The findings could have implications for interventions in neurodegenerative diseases.

so my uni is cracking down on ai-written essays rn and I genuinely don't wanna get flagged for something I actually wrote myself. tried a couple free checkers online and they gave me wildly different results on the SAME paragraph which is kinda unhinged tbh

anyone got something that's actually decent and not just vibes-based guessing? doesn't need to be free, just don't want it to roast my normal writing as "67% ai generated" when I literally wrote it at 2am fueled by energy drinks

bonus points if it's something profs actually trust too, kinda need it to double check my stuff before submitting lol. any recs appreciated 🙏

I don't understand why 15 years old are acting like 25 these days. Getting nose jobs at 18 19 getting botox in their 20s getting pregnant in their 20s. Whats up you guys? Get a chill.

*I will give you an example why I think this way!

I'm a cult fan of old hollywood and for passing my time i watch movies.

*1A broke as man in his mid 30s living in trash hole apartment and hustling as a photographer- Sex, Lies and Videotape

*2Again! A broke french man in his late 20s dating a married women in her 40s. -Unfaithful

She is learning how to cook, getting a boyfriend, learning about culture and reliving her life. - under the tuscan sun.

*7 two uptight American cousins—Ted, a conservative corporate salesman, and Fred, a brash naval officer—as they navigate romance, careers, and rising anti-American political tensions in Spain. characters in their mid 30s to early 40s. - barcelona.

***Now what we got? group of teenager below 18 having sex, getting pregnant, getting drunk, having multiple relationships at 16. (Outer Banks, My Life with the Walter Boys, Elites, never have I ever, sex and the education, ginny and georgia, heartbreak high, Maybe, My Fault) same story!

***Question: what they are feeding us? That unemployed and unmarried people in their 20s are actaully FAILURES?? OR DOESNT EXIST???

That people in their 30s get expired? There no virgin women who are 25? There no dumb looking guys who are 27, who are still hustling?

**** Or a 16 years old should wear a micro skirt so her thongs go on FULL SHOW. Or a 15 year old guy should get her anus penetrated in a locker room. WTF IS THIS GARBAGE?..

Because of what media is feeding us, people in their prime age like 20s are feeling they got no time and they are soon to be under the rock, or get crack, girls are getting work done on their faces as early as they get their legal IDs. Botox fillers and getting botched, looking 10× older than they are or on the other hand people are doing onlyfans because they think they are out of time, getting a degree is waste of time why not just show my genitalia and get a HARMES BAG as soon as possible doesn't matter if i dont know africa is continent or a country.

They just put a black character and a gay character to be relevant. And not to be forgotten (A fat character till ozempic wasn't out)

Other than that they are soo NOT relevant, what is relevant about a 18+ show where characters shown are actaully under 18? .

hi, so basically i just finished my freshman year of college and my parents are refusing to pay for my spring semester. they have a fair amount of money, which is why i barely got any aid from my school or fafsa. i cant get any student loans without a cosigner, i even got denied for ones that dont need a cosigner because i'm 19 and obviously don't have credit history. my school financial aid office is no help either, and they said that unless i'm living independently, they cant give me any help. school starts next week and i have no classes registered. i have nothing that i can do, i worked really hard in high school and first year of college just to go to a mediocre school, and i'm basically unable to attend simply because i don't have parents that support me. literally what is there to do for a kid in my situation? and don't talk to me about community college, because i worked way too hard to end up there, and i'm already on track for my bachelor's, which is all that matters to me. please. there has to be a way.

I have a Lenovo laptop and I'm looking for a budget tablet I can use thats not part of the apple ecosystem. I use Google docs and sheets for everything and need something that will be best for reading/studying papers and my textbooks. I also want to use a pen to take written notes on the tablet so any apps/program reccs would be greatly appreciated.

My budget is around $200

Hi, I got annoyed by all the features forest has by know. I loved the app and it helped me through my maths degree, but now I want to bring it back to the roots. I will follow up with an update soon. For now I'd like to know what users care about in terms of features so I can reduce it to the bare minimum. The ones I had in mind where:

- Block other selected Apps.

- Some variation in trees to choose from (at launch we will have 5 made by an artist/friend of mine)

- Looking at your forest.

- Basic Statistics (total plant time, monthly study history, etc.)

- Some form of progression (I am leaning towards unlocking more trees based on total study time, no currencies, no shop, no loot boxes.)

- Plant with friends (will be available in a later version as I need to figure out how to host this on a server with appropriate data security)

Please let me know what you think of these and if you find anything else "essential"? Thank you for your feedback!

Yoo... sorry guys, I'm a bit new on this subreddit.

I'm a Tanzanian wanting to apply to IUEA for a Bachelor's in Mechatronics and needed student reviews abt the University in general.
Mechatronics' students' reviews will be perfect

I’m hoping someone can make me feel better or share an instance that something like this has happened to them so I can stop beating myself up.

I’m a college student and decided to get a gym membership this summer while I was home. I’ve never gotten a gym membership in the past because it was so expensive, but I got a good deal on it for the first few months. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks before I went back to school to save money, but I found out there is a 30-day cancellation window, where you’re charged for any payments that fall into that window.

I go back to college next week and have to make another $37 payment when I won’t even be home to use it. I have rent and tuition due, and have worked so hard to save money this summer. I’ve worked two jobs, never ate out, skipped out on money-costing activities with my friends, and did everything I could to help me make ends meet this semester.

I know it’s only $37 but I feel like I’m watching all my efforts to save money this summer be in vein, and now have to spend $37 unnecessarily. I can’t stop crying, and am just hoping someone can relate or has been through something similar.

Thank you guys in advance, and thank you for just reading if you made it to this point!
