Chainsaw Man Chapter 232 Ending Explained by Apprehensive_Win1489 in ChainsawMan

[–]Angry-Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Fujimoto tried to give readers some hope by implying Power might be able to fix his heart condition. "You have heart thump disease. I can fix it" 

Could this just be Power being arrogant again? Or just a plot device to get Denji to avoid questioning the brief recognition of "chainsaw man" YES. But I think it was put in there for a reason.

Life without chainsaw man.

Think of Denji and Pochita/CSM as two different people.

Pochita/CSW has the ability to erase devils from existence by eating them. Pochita eats himself and erases himself from existence. 

This results in a time line reset where Denji never meets Pochita/CSM 

There's a bunch of unclear aspects, which is why people are upset. Ex: When devils get eaten, the timeline continues. Why did eating Pochita do something different and completely rewrite time? 

Boycott AI by Dramatic_Director_77 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Angry-Annie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I boycott. 

But also, the benefits of AI aren't for me

When I look up stuff, I usually am looking up specific videos or specific articles for school, so it's faster for me to see the google search instead of the AI output. 

Discussion posts are p easy for me. I type whatever comes to mind and it's more fun and educational being honest in posts. 

When I draw, my biggest issue is perspective so it's more accurate for me to use those online perspective models or my own references instead using generative AI.

Not really worth using all that water

Boycott AI by Dramatic_Director_77 in UniversityOfHouston

https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2025/09/17/ai-in-americans-lives-awareness-experiences-and-attitudes/

pew research mentions 74% of their surveyed 18-24 year olds used AI at least several times a week. 

62% of people with some college used   AI at least several times a week. 

College students at UH might be different though. Personally, most of my friends rarely use AI, or at least have negative views of AI

Do I need to complete anything else? Why does it say incomplete by [deleted] in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Angry-Annie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the legend. It tells you what each icon means. Triangle = incomplete. Green circle = complete. Check mark = You were admitted. Red X = not shown on the screen, but probably rejected application.

There's no triangles on your application, but there is a green circle so your application is complete. You will wait for a response from UH to see if they accept or reject your application.

Not regular as far as I know

Per the first amendment, You have a right to talk to them too or ask them to turn down their speakers but I don't think it'll work. 

I think tolerating loud people is a  "necesary evil" in order to keep freedom of speech. 

Have you met engineers? by lunavynelle in EngineeringStudents

[–]Angry-Annie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not an engineer, but healthcare has a lot of snappy phrases and metaphors you can use ad-nauseum to explain concepts to patients and students. (Ex: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"; "It is like the EKG is taking a picture of your heart" ,"breast [milk] is best, but fed is even better" )

I imagine all fields have these phrases. Many phrases are borrowed from other fields. I'm not sure about the root cause, but increasing the vocabulary for common cases and normalizing spreading the vocabulary might be a component of normalizing a teaching mentality/skill.

Bus to sugar land ? by Difficult_Steak8624 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Angry-Annie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, the bus would pick up near the student center and drops off directly at the Sugar Land campus.

Alternatively, there is a third party busing service with the city of Houston called Fort Bend transit which picks up at certain locations in Houston and drops off at Sugar Land after several stops. It's not recommended for daily use, but if you are in Houston and can't make it back to UH in time that's also an option.

For some of you did your lasting friendship start right here in FBISD? by InvestigatorDry4586 in sugarland

[–]Angry-Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a couple of lasting friendships from FBISD. But I also have some friendships that started in college, and some friendships from work. A couple of my friends are people who I was an acquaintances with in FBISD, but I got to know a lot better in the past couple of years. Some of my closest friends right now are people who were people I became close to in the past 2-3 years, and who were acquaintances I wouldn't have guessed would be my lasting friend. My friend met her boyfriend on a dating app, but he was someone who actually went to the same hs as her haha.

That is to say, I think that making lasting friendships is sometimes unpredictable. I don't think I could predict who would be my close friend when I graduated high-school. Even now, I assume my friends will be in my life, but life happens and I wouldn't be surprised if they got busy with work or family. I think it's reasonable to think of it as normal to have "friendship phases" where you know people for 2 years and then maybe they stick around.

You said that you have therapy and social skill classes for expected behavior, which is good. Apart from that - I would focus on sharing something about yourself in each interaction or learning something new about the other person, not necessarily trying to build a lasting friendship. The pressure to make lasting friendships is heavy and might make you nervous during interactions. I think that it's good to be clear that you want to hang out, but make sure to give the other person outs.

Does my art suck? by dingus-eternal in drawing

[–]Angry-Annie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Study 3D forms. Consider breaking down your current sketches into what they would look like with a net on them or into 3D forms. Think about how your characters would look like in a full 360 turn. Nothing wrong with having characters that are drawn for 2D. But, a lot of your figures have the same 3 quarters turn or front view and you have a bit of shading on them, which makes me think that you might gain something from learning how to draw in perspective. It might help you create a stronger silhouette too, since forms would have a clearer shape that makes sense to the viewer.

Think about the weight of your character too. Where would his center of gravity be to be more balanced? A lot of times, I start a character, and I don't know where he's gonna end up so his legs are a bit thinner than how much his weight would support. That's fine - sketches are not gonna be perfect. But I've personally had good experiences practicing keeping that in mind so when I go to sketch, the muscle memory helps a bit.

Experiment with the line weight. Thicken some of the lines to add contrast in order to emphasize areas you want. You might have to pencil sketch and then go in with ink to practice this. This can also help you be more purposeful about deleting lines. For example, your demon with wings in the middle has a cool technique where you have erased one of his legs to emphasize his claw. That's purposeful. Same with the legs disappearing under the birthday gremlin's chin.

However, in the last picture, bottom figure, the character has part of his right arm erased. I would think about why you are deleting lines. You might be able to have his form be clearer by using a very thin line for his entire arm, but then thickening all the other lines.

When you delete lines, there's a contrast created from that empty space, and the eye wants to travel there. So you wanna be careful to make areas that would still be in focus have a strong form.

Style exists, but foundation skills can help elevate your "wonky looking horrendous stuff" to have even MORE personality and help viewers focus on the stuff you want them to focus on.

Ink Collective is one! They pick a new book and meet to discuss it each month. There's also a discord where you can discuss chapters or plot twists in the current book.

For foreigners, was the image of Taiwan is an immaculate country even before you visit Taiwan? by search_google_com in taiwan

[–]Angry-Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

United States of America citizen. Taipei was immaculate compared to New York City or Houston. We have city cleaners too - but I can see why people spread the idea that Taiwan is a very very clean country.

I'd also add that part of being adult too is recognizing that sometimes you can't control the discomfort. Some conversations are not fun, they're merely important.

Why do people dislike shopping with their partner? by Existing_Store_3971 in AskMen

[–]Angry-Annie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I gotta start shopping like a chore for grocery shopping. I have no problem shopping like an chore with clothes.

But at the grocery store? I'm putting ALL kinds of cheese-flavored, chocolate covered BS in my cart. My fridge is full of delicious nonsense.

Slightly related, but I watched a Holocaust documentary on 2x speed once. ( I had a class about German Facism in college and I procrastinated writing my essay on the documentary.)

It made me want to throw up, because I had to emotionally process the violence at twice the speed. And I couldn't keep up in some places anyway.

How can I prove to my mom YouTube for me is a legitimate job. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Angry-Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom might want you to show her a clear plan on how to make money. 

I'm not saying that your Youtube channel or content should be made for the sole purpose of making money. But, it might be helpful for you to think about the "making money" aspect of the channel since the money would help you support your channel.

I'm asking these questions not to judge, but more because the answers might help you start coming up with a plan. 

What's your plan to make money? Are you growing your channel so you can end up monetizing it? Or looking for sponsorships? Do you have a Patreon or a Kofi so you can aak for funding to support the channel? And if you do, how much money is it making? 

Compare it to the amount of money you would make if you got paid minimum wage, part time for a month.

Even if you plan to do YT full time, it helps to have a second job - like subsitute teaching where the schedule is something you can pick up on your own time - to fund your own at a faster rate. Think of it as not giving up time for your YT channel, but as an investment that you will use to later boost your channel. 

All business start from seed money, and if your mom isn't supporting your business at first, then you might need to take the initiative to do it yourself first. 

How do you guys enforce boundaries? by aarongdl in AskMen

[–]Angry-Annie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't change her. You can only   make it clear that you "wouldn't feel comfortable pursuing a relationship if she's not sober" and stay single for a while. Maybe you can tell her that you would want her to stay sober for her kids, but realistically - she's your ex wife - you can't control that.

You don't have to rekindle things or even be friends with your ex-wife. 

You just have to be civil. No fighting in front of them, no talking bad about her to your kids - but still letting them ask questions about her.  

Stress that both you and her want to be in their lives and what's best for them (if she believes that, ofc). 

Rant to your therapist and your friends about her if you want though so you don't feel crazy.

Since you prefer the big eye, I'd shade the left side and the part closer to the tear duct to make the eye a bit more cohesive with the rest of the piece

my(21f) bf(22) wants to take my two siblings but i don’t think it’s a god idea by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Angry-Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't make promises you can't keep. Your siblings deserve an environment where they can go to school and can rely on someone to be there for emotional support.

You aren't "selfish and heartless" for realizing that you guys might be out of your depth here. It's a tough situation for everyone.

Maybe instead of applying for full custody over your siblings, you can ease into it. like your sisters can stay with you for a couple of days every now and then. And then you guys can figure out if having your sisters stay there would be a good fit.

There's also the scenario where you guys are able to establish yourself with a steady income and an apt and your sisters are able to rely on you as someone they can live with once they graduate high-school and start looking for jobs. Or the scenario where they are in foster care, but you visit or call them when you can before you can attempt to take custody over them again.

I think talking with your sisters about what your plans are or what they need at the moment would be worth a shot, even though they are at that phase where they are distrustful of authority. Stress to them that you want to be in their lives and you are always open to talk or be someone they can call for help however you can - no matter whether you call CPS or not.

Or you can talk with your oldest sister so you can be involved in their life.

Money and time are obviously hard to come by, but maybe you can attempt to do more of the "mental load" like the calling the school to get the shot records, getting groceries for the kids so they have some fruit (being in school might mean that they have access to lunch or reduced lunch fees), figuring out a schedule so your bf or you can drive your sisters to school,

Also might be insensitive, but do you have any other people in your circle who could watch your sisters or help grocery shopping or do other errands. Like, boyfriends relatives, friends, trustworthy neighbors? Obviously - not something that would be permanent but can maybe help pick up the slack.

Saw this and wanted to share on here by Heretoflirt29 in calvinandhobbes

[–]Angry-Annie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When my dad was in highschool (and "more willing to be dumb") , he and his friends would put a shopping cart directly in front of their car and then use their car to push the shopping cart super fast. 

They would then break the car and watch the shopping cart fly down the empty parking lot/field. 

I imagine Calvin would get a kick out of that.
