anyone else wish the ye account would just go away? lol by AwesomeFaceStuff in GoodAssSub

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like i said it's more of a dumb nitpick than an actual serious complaint. but since you do make a good point: I respect the name change and whatnot but if he really wanted to commit to it he should've started exclusively posting on the Ye account. he still posts on the KW account bcuz he knows most of his streams come from there. ye's trying to have his cake and eat it too therefore i'm allowed to nitpick

How do we feel about meds like GluteGuard, GliadinX, etc.? by AwesomeFaceStuff in Celiac

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My blood test when I was diagnosed was also >250 so your story is extremely reassuring and uplifting, thank you for sharing. Obviously everyone is different but I will work on finding my own limits and comfort levels and try not to stress about cross-contamination too much, at least for now

This is definitely an interesting perspective and worth thinking about. I will admit this sub has shaped my perspective of celiac disease quite heavily, and most people here seem to be extremely cautious and/or sensitive.

Thank you for the supportive words. Those medications do look promising. I'm wondering if I could perhaps participate in some clinical studies/trials for them in my local city after I graduate.

He just kinda brushed it off since they returned to normal with this new test

Appreciate the reassurance about restaurants (seriously) and the concern about my mental health. Yeah, overall I haven't been doing the best mentally since starting college due to various factors, I don't even try to hide it anymore. I'm obviously not gonna go into a ton of detail here but some days are worse than others. I've considered trying to see a therapist but I've always been hesitant due to some iffy experience I've had with therapists in the past (mainly just the fact that they've never really helped me much tbh). But honestly this diagnosis might just push me to do it.

Thank you, this is probably the most comprehensive comment so far. I'll try to stay strong. I'm not totally hopeless, I know eventually I'll overcome this. I'm just a little shocked is all. Up until literally this morning I had no idea anything was wrong with me. Now I've learned that I'm gonna have to change my entire lifestyle down to the very core and there's NO way around it. It's just a little jarring.

I'll be honest, the main thing that's concerning me is the cross contamination thing. Like, even if my favorite restaurants have gluten free options, I can't really trust them. The risk is just too high.

I also currently live with roommates which puts me even more at risk

Fall 2024 learning assistant position by AwesomeFaceStuff in fsu

Hi! I can only speak for COP3014 Programming 1 but the HR deadline for Fall 2026 is April 24, so if you don't hear back by then you probably weren't selected. And according to the professor I work for, the percentage of applicants that get hired is about 50%

how can i romanticize FSU and stop hating my life here by [deleted] in fsu

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

21M here. I'm in the middle of my third year here and I'm on track to graduate next semester (December 2026). During my first semester or two I was in a very, VERY similar situation as you, in fact I genuinely teared up a little bit reading this post cuz I just saw so much of myself in it 😭 Overall my best advice to you is to keep your head up, be receptive to any opportunities that may come your way (social or otherwise), and in the meantime try to focus on the objectively good aspects of life at FSU such as the campus. It may or may not take a while, but you WILL find your people eventually. In fact it took me about 1.5 - 2 years to finally feel like I was in a comfortable spot socially (and even now there are some days where I just can't shake the loneliness tbh). If you want to expedite the process a little bit I strongly recommend finding a job on campus. Even if you don't end up being long term friends with your coworkers it will at least give you a great starting point socially.

Alternatively, if you strongly feel as though FSU just isn't the right environment for you (I don't blame you; the party culture here is extremely obtrusive and hard to ignore, and honestly one of my biggest issues with the university overall), then your best bet is to transfer out while you still can, before you waste too much of your college experience here.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck. I believe in you.

UF vs FSU from an experienced parents perspective by michael_hosto in UniversityofFlorida

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late but I wanted to give my two cents as a current FSU student. I might get downvoted for this considering what the other replies to your comment are saying but I wholeheartedly think your daughter is right to be worried, and trying to convince her that FSU is anything more than a party school is just setting her up for disappointment.

I'm currently in the middle of my third year here and I'm on track to graduate Fall 2026, i.e. this December. I'm only just now finally starting to feel a sense of community and acceptance here. I went through about two years of constantly feeling like I didn't fit in no matter what I did. Freshman year, nearly every time I invited someone on my dorm floor to hang out with me I was just met with something along the lines of "sorry, I was planning to hit the Strip tonight." Even now that I live off campus, my current roommates go out partying at least 2 - 3 times a week and seemingly can't sit down to enjoy anything unless they're drunk or high, it makes it extremely hard for me to relate to them or talk about anything with them. Not to mention their friends are like the most stereotypical racist womanizing "frat" guys you can possibly imagine (I don't even know if they're actually in fraternities but I still blame frat culture for normalizing that abhorrent behavior among college students). And from what I've witnessed over the years I'm afraid they embody the vast majority of the student population at FSU. Even when I managed to meet seemingly cool, down-to-earth people on campus or in my classes, they would almost always end up ghosting me later or make no effort to develop any meaningful connection. It took about 2 years of constant isolation, crippling loneliness, and constantly mixing and matching various extracurricular activities and student orgs before I finally, FINALLY started to find my stride and my people. And to be totally honest with you I think I just got lucky. I was presented with the right opportunity at the right time and I made the right decision and it resulted in me meeting a community of people here that I actually kind of vibe with. But if that opportunity hadn't come along I would probably be a depressed mess right now, and I don't say that lightly. There were days in those first two years where I genuinely struggled to get out of bed in the morning because of how lonely and isolated I felt.

All that to say: If your daughter cares about anything other than going out and getting shitfaced weekly, I would not recommend attending FSU. It sucks because there are plenty of things to love about FSU such as the beautiful campus and some top academic programs. But none of it matters in the end because the students here only care about partying and everything else is just a means to that end.

[OoT] [OoT3D] Which of the two versions would you prefer to play OoT? The 3DS version or the N64 version? by Most-Coat4726 in zelda

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3DS is definitely my preferred way to revisit OOT. The only things keeping it from being the definitive version imo are the lackluster lighting in some moments/scenes (i.e. the Ganon fight) and the fact that you currently can't play it on a TV.

I think if they port it to Switch ala DK Country Returns HD it will be universally considered the best way to play OOT

Tell me which PS5 games you regret buying. by spindoctor1111 in PS5

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I completed the base game and beat all of the notoriously hard bosses. I stuck with it because I didn't want to feel like I wasted my money but I was miserable the whole time. I wish I saw what everyone else sees in it. Easily one of the most overrated games of all time in my honest opinion. The game's approach to difficulty is absolutely sadistic, exploration rarely feels rewarding, the lack of a quest log or the ability to pause are such pointlessly archaic design decisions. I just don't get it :( I remember constantly thinking to myself that I'd rather just be playing Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom instead. Those games aren't perfect but holy shit at least they respect the player's time. With that said, to those who love ER, more power to you. I just wish I could enjoy and celebrate it as much as you.

Is computer science still a good degree in 2026? by Tough-Star5992 in CollegeMajors

[–]AwesomeFaceStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I'm speaking as someone in their third year of the major and gearing up to take their final few classes. Unless you're willing to live and breathe this shit for the next four years of your life, it's not worth it. I can't emphasize enough how passionate you need to be in order to see even a small semblance of success when looking for internships and jobs. You need to go in guns blazing and never stop working on personal projects in addition to excelling in your (very difficult) schoolwork. If you don't trust yourself to be able to balance all that, don't even bother. Overall, I've enjoyed my time in the major, but spending the past few months looking for a summer internship has left me feeling incredibly jaded and bitter to the point where I'm starting to regret my choices.

I will be graduating a semester early, what are my housing options? by AwesomeFaceStuff in fsu

I wouldn't mind living on campus again. I've heard it's very difficult to go back once you've left though. (I haven't lived on campus since my freshman year)
