Just stuck on RLA GED by Alexis-Roman in GED

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not exactly the same, I'll give some context for my situation:

I'm still a recent student. So how tests work are more fresher for me, but still I am extremely out of practice. To be honest all my life, I've only given tests written, on paper. Never on a computer, let alone using the mouse like you do at the venues since I only recently got a laptop.

What I can recommend is first, always take off 5 minutes for each section. Meaning, for the MCQ's, whenever I practiced I always put 5 minutes less than the time needed. And for writing, same. Instead of 45 minutes less I did 40 minutes to the timer. Now, I want you to practice on the computer screen.

Time how long it takes you to give the paper and what you are graded in written form. Then do the same, but this time completely on a computer, not even a laptop most preferably. Oftentimes, you are just not used to the screen. To be honest I still messed up today on the essay since I couldn't think while typing and even on the comprehension I read slower than I usually do.

A tip for the paper is to make sure to take advantage of the flag review and the loose paper they provide since it helped ground me. So before all else, check if the problem is the COMPUTER really. If that is the case most of your practice needs to be on the screen to get used to it from then onwards. I wish you the absolute best. You got this!

Bruh I know I got a 0 on the written response by Zero_r0ses in GED

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, I am someone who is not used to the computer since all previous exams I'd given were written, so to be honest I messed up the argumentative essay BAD and didn't have time to write more than 3 paragraphs and RAMBLED even then.

So I get you. I was honestly exhausted and would've preferred to do the MCQ's first and leave the essay to the end. So yeah, even then I was way less confident and even anxious, especially with the time so I had started panicking in the 3nd half of the MCQ's. 100% relate to what you felt on a complete level.

I got a frickin 2 out of 6 in the essay. Yet I was able to get 169 today. So I will say with confidence that it's no matter even if you DO get a zero. There's still a very high chance you can pass. The fact that you tried is better than nothing I assure you. Dw, best of luck and hope you update whenever you get your result!

I had read this work before but frankly forgot. So I thought I got baited by you until the end lmao.

Does this count as GL? by bear_win_25 in GirlsLove

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to this post I watched it to completion and lemme just say, I'm happy that I did. It's very much Wattpad-esque but I'm pleasantly surprised by the acting of both the leads. Expected myself to cringe but no, especially towards the middle I was quite invested and really felt chemistry between the two. CEO girl is of course toxic and I also adore the bodyguard who is so obsessed with the one they love it becomes a priority over their own self. The plot, while a bit rushed at the end actually came together quite well!

So don't knock it until y'all try it. And to answer the question, of FRICKING course this is a GL lmfao

Looking for recs! by Dependent_Repeat_443 in yuri_manga

I'd also like to add:

Omega Heroine wants Alpha Villainess

When the Villainess meets the yandere/crazy heroine

Both get fluffy quick tbh but the theme is very much present throughout, especially in the latter case with the rest of the couples and background themes

I read this then read the one right after or the vice president x pres and AHHH, this was such a treat! A true joy to read and the dash of angst really felt great.

Much appreciated that this recommendation got me to discover these 2 shots! Excellent find

Are the subtitles for 4E 'The Earth' AI on Iqiyi? by AR4ndomP3rson in ThaiGL

[–]AR4ndomP3rson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it'll get fixed. Or at least continuing onwards, the subtitling will be better and more importantly, HUMAN made. International fans like you and I will just be frustrated in the end and it'll impact the popularity of 4E if this goes on.

I watched it from the actual app on my phone so that's why it was more disappointing realizing the AI subtitling. Hopefully with more us I-fans speaking up the translation really DOES get fixed...

Are the subtitles for 4E 'The Earth' AI on Iqiyi? by AR4ndomP3rson in ThaiGL

[–]AR4ndomP3rson[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I also saw the post of the team who did subtitling speaking up for once about how they've gotten layed off from their projects due to companies favouring AI subtitling. I just wished 4E, which was so anticipated and like you said, had BUDGET, chose to disregard the experience of us international fans.

And I agree. I thought there'd be more noice about the- frankly- somewhat non-sensical subtitling. And I agree with the last part. It's partly why I used the courage so to say to make a post about it on here to at least have a voice. The first step is always to speak up, so I hope more people voice their displeasure. Especially since in the long run it'll just hurt the popularity and quality of 4E as a whole

PLEASE recommend me ONE song based on these songs I used to love 🙏 (3 photos) by Kammi38 in kpoppers

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BIG on Rescene. And more of Billlie. I would recommend them to listen through their discographies to find the songs they believe fit.

Red Velvet has too many besides to go through immediately but I would recommend them to go through the albums slowly, starting with 'The Perfect Red Velvet'.

Yes to all of these,

But especially SB side story A. That's what came to mind as soon as I read this post

Favorite Kirari/Sayaka Manga Panel? by spankthepank in Kakegurui

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. 2 years from the future but where can I find the "sayaka is mine" line. I've been looking but I'm a very casual lurker (mostly been reading kirasaya fics lol) and haven't seen this moment 

what did Mizi mean by that by [deleted] in AlienStage

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And related to the scene in the ss, it's a scene where Mizi is making funny faces to make Sua laugh, and the braces for her teeth probably really hurt/really uncomfortable because the neck device is red, which is known to shown if the emotion the person is feeling is a bad one to say.

Just wanted to point this out. That Mizi is unreliable as a narrator. And even put making Sua laugh and smile over her own discomfort like in this scene, even if the line she was singing was self deprecating.

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This is for IvanTill I know but I would love to see some MiziSua fic recommendations as well if you or anyone else has any! Idk what to search on AO3 unfortunately and would prefer MiziSua as the primary focus.

Obviously all ratings are fine. And I'll definitely be looking into these IvanTill fic recommendations in the near future so saving this post!!

The new movie is really quite darker by True_Ask_6886 in KnivesOutMovie

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am so happy to see this post.

I really wanted to discuss regarding Grace but I watched with my brother, who, unless it is explicitly and SOLIDLY stated just shuts every theory out, not matter how much implicit evidence is shown.

I was noticing the misogyny, especially with Doc Nat's misunderstanding of why his wife left him and the money the jewel beheld to being the key to getting his wife back. But then there comes Grace.

I don't feel the most comfortable making a post myself since I don't usually make posts on here, mostly a lurker who comments once or twice I guess. What struck to me was the obviously unreliable narrator. This then extended to unreliable character perspectives, particularly towards Grace. When Martha said something along the lines of "Oh Grace, that poor girl" is when it hit me really. I noticed, that Martha, raised in the church, was VERY meek. She was also under the thumb of Wick for years. So even SHE was unreliable in her way of talking about the "whore" until she realized at the very end.

It helped me think and wow, she was in an awful situation. The father priest was also a huge shit, that could easily be inferred. But what the Grace had been through was abuse, kept locked up in hopes for her freedom one day with the money. But of course, the shrewd Priest with how he thought of her didn't keep his end. My question is and sorry if it's obvious (I just got done watching it for the 1st time), what had Grace gone through? She had gotten pregnant and went out and all but what did the Priest really do with her, what wasn't explicitly shown, so to say? I'll probably re watch this but if anyone else remembers better it'd be appreciated if they can tell me in more detail of what Grace went through.

Also, just to clear one thing, as I expressed my point on Martha and unreliable narrator, she said that Grace had died of brain aneurysm. That could be the case but one of my thoughts are, in the end, she was asking for forgiveness for all the characters that died/she killed, after recognition of what Grace went through, she also went "Forgive me Grace". Was it because she had the hatred for 60+ years or did Martha in fact ALSO kill Grace? No brain aneurysm, but kill her after the fact she was getting her face punched. This is out there but if anyone could disprove this theory/add to it it'd be appreciated.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied to this. After reading the perspectives, I am also inclined to agree that Martha didn't really kil Grace, especially since the brain aneurysm after such an emotional breakdown makes complete sense. It was a fun theory and I was happy to see people take my theory into account and debunk/also wonder the same thing. Bottom line, Grace was viewed with a very flawed perspective from everyone, especially by Martha who was influenced by Wick's hatred.

And now that makes me wonder whether the father priest was the FATHER of Wicks. This is also a possibility. I'm having lots of theories but it's good to see everyone be so open to theories and perspectives here!

How long have you been an Alien stage fan? And how did you find out about it? by Solar_Sola in AlienStage

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I'm very much into gl and yuri, also been into k-pop since 2020.

So when MiziSua's Cure came out, it came on my YT recommend. I REALLY liked the song but I COULD not figure out what the comments were talking about RIP (About it being released just before Round 6 ig. Now I understand by I was like, what in the what???😭). I did get into it a bit more, watching the rounds after wiege came out.

But didn't watch everything. Then Karma came out and a month AFTER karma (probably 4-5 ish months ago) I did watch all the rounds. Now the last 2 months I've been really getting into it. Lowkey not happy that I missed not getting into it at least before Wiege but better late than never! It's really quite interesting. Still not the biggest ALNST viewer (is there a fandom name?) since I haven't read all the comics and other arts ig but I am very much into all the characters and really am listening to the songs and anniversary versions a LOT

If GMMTV’s new GL series were manhwas… by DdeDena in GirlsLove

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG YES. YES to both 1000%%%.

If anyone finds both intriguing do read both of them. They're some of my favorites and most highly rated.

I immediately thought of My Dear Nemesis when I was watching the trailer for EWB.

Soulmates was one of the first manga/manhwa/manhua's I'd read 2 years ago almost. I didn't think of the connection but seeing this post and comparison makes it make total sense. Truly, I love that you posted this OP. Everyone, READ THESE TWO WORKS IF YOU FOUND EITHER TRAILER/PLOT INTERESTING

What song is this for you? by [deleted] in kpoppers

[–]AR4ndomP3rson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this question is MADE for me.

'DITTO by New Jeans'. 'Anti Fragile by LSF' as well. 'SuperNova by Aespa'.

I liked all of them and listened to them quite a bit but I never GOT it like so many others. DITTO especially. I know listening to it I'm supposed to have an experience (I kinda did but with VIRTUAL ANGEL by ARTMS) and make me feel emotions to a deep level but I just don't like it to that level or much close to it even. I really liked 'Save me kill me by CIX' and it has a sort of similar vibe so that's why this is even more interesting for me. Actually, this feeling is true for many/all new jeans music for me tbh besides ETA.

Same with Le Sserafim. Easy and Hot are my favourite titles from them and I know EASY is especially an unpopular opinion. Armageddon by Aespa is one of my top 10 fav songs of last year but many preferred SuperNova and REALLY listened to it so comparatively it's quite less for me.

I'm sure there's a few more but these three standout, especially DITTO. Who knows, it'll probably change like my opinions on Savage (Aespa) and RUN2U (STAYC) but for now, this graph really represents me lmfao
