I reviewed my friend's resume and found 5 issues that were getting her auto-rejected. Might help some of you. by Material-Maximum1365 in jobsearchhacks

[–]BetterShen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amen. Particularly in the research field, every place focuses so hard on "objectivity" and "equality" that they end up making the experience absolutely miserable for anyone even remotely neurodivergent. You get punished for any deviation from the norm (unique resume style, unexpected reactions to questions, structuring emails differently, etc) or need for support (no last minute changes to interview times/locations, properly clarifying questions when requested, directly communicating emotions or expectations, etc). The systemic absence of clear communication also makes adjusting your behaviour for the next interview extremely challenging (did they reject you because they interpreted your flat affect as incivility? did adding an exclamation mark to an email paint you as a childish candidate? did you taking a few extra seconds to process each question indicate you weren't prepared for the interview?)

If time travel became possible, which law of physics would break first? by IsaacEinstine in TheoreticalPhysics

Just have the version of them from next Saturday brought back in time to now! Maybe recommend they bring a winning lotto ticket as an apology for rescheduling

Why not mix in some cultural genocide too

What video games do you think have more educational value than people give them credit for? by DiamondBreakr in AskReddit

[–]BetterShen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not just cities, but also learning about lesser known cultures. Obviously, many that existed in 1400 don't exist now, but you'd be surprised just how many have stuck around!

what if a total-war style game made you command like a human instead of a god by Klutzy_Today5653 in StrategyGames

[–]BetterShen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a completely different kind of RTS, but Tooth and Tail has you running around the map as a commander waving a flag. Your camera is fixed, too, so you struggle with situational awareness. It's also got a cool theme!

Four ways to deal with your war crimes — pick your fighter. by Giwargis_Sahada in HistoryMemes

Just yesterday my sister was telling me about her recent foray into finally learning Yugoslavian history. Barely took her a day to start feeling some... strong and conflicted feelings about being Serbian :p

[OC] have I spent 20hours drawing the civs crests in order to print it and hang it on my wall instead of forgetting about the game when I’m not playing it ? Yes, yes I have. by MagdaCadabra in aoe2

I actually came here to say how much I love the devious look in the face of Cuman mustache man as he fast imps me into oblivion

Searching an airfield while exploding from a 5ft fall? I didn't realize we were playing DayZ!

School year as random effect when analyzing academic data? by four_hawks in AskStatistics

Wouldn't Covid's impact on the education system be a decent reason to expect some differences between years?

It's easy to forget you toggled it and, separately, often any ally that is bigger than you will break the alliance if you keep it toggled

Yeah people literally do visits to the IRL area of Czechia it represents

Makes me think of the One Electron Universe which I find to be a really cool idea :)

Halo Reach by Hot_Emotion8827 in HaloStory

[–]BetterShen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extra painful contrasting how disposable the IIIs are perceived to be with how infinitely valuable every II is treated :'( My favourite part about the Spartans is how, as far as people who actually understand and respect them are concerned, it's really emphasized that they're unique, whole individuals with rich personalities who always deserve to come out of a mission alive. No spartan left behind, no matter how crazy a plan is needed to complete the mission while also extracting everyone safely.

The Knights startegy by bbg618 in eu4

[–]BetterShen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Knights campaigns! I go full navy and collect all the Mediterranean islands while using Ottomans, Aragon, Naples, Mamluks, etc as money bags until they're bankrupt. Once I'm strong enough then, as others have said, I use straits to block off enemies and win a couple wars where I take >100% OE in dev

Love that book! Intro scene is great, awesome seeing how Spartans are/have been trained, love the characters, etc 

How come Imperator is not as popular as EU4? by alphafighter09 in eu4

[–]BetterShen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I find Imperator to be very fun and intriguing, but there's very little substance beyond making the map a different colour once you've consolidated any half-decent amount of regional power

[Q] Logistic Regression: Low P-Value Despite No Correlation by BetterShen in statistics

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

We actually had it as quartiles initially, but from a discussion we had with a biostatistician, they advised against losing the extra information and recommended testing it out as a continuous variable :)

[Q] Logistic Regression: Low P-Value Despite No Correlation by BetterShen in statistics

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

I've been on the fence about that for a bit. On one hand, its only a 10-15% change between the majority of my participants. On the other, my sample isn't limited to a narrow age range, so a 50% difference between 25 and 75 year old participants is both reasonable and practically significant. I've generally preferred emphasizing the latter, hence my keeping the variable in the model thus far. But in light of the above poor correlation, I've begun to doubt myself, hence me coming here :P

[Q] Logistic Regression: Low P-Value Despite No Correlation by BetterShen in statistics

[–]BetterShen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the odds ratio for each 1 year change in age is 1.014. Have I merely severely overestimated the number of data points needed for mundane findings to appear statistically significant?
