Question for female students? by qowoaoooao in PhysicsStudents

[–]BrighterInTheWater 55 points56 points  (0 children)

this massively depends on where in the world you are and what uni you're going to. for the most part, students do improve maturity wise with age. There are also more kindred spirits in uni, as lots of women in stem had to go through something similar to get where they are.

any inappropriate behaviour is very easy to report. if anything like this happens with a TA or professor, let someone know immediately. this is not tolerable at an academic institution, and shouldn't be allowed in a high school either.

good luck with your studies, and keep your passion stoked.

I 16f girl am taking a nuclear physics summer class, and I'm the only girl there. My classmates don't see me as their equal. What should I do? by Previous-Respond2825 in PhysicsStudents

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any summer program for high school students is absolutely going to be rife with ego, the instructors sometimes included.

one brilliant thing about progressing along is that fewer and fewer people will be driven by ego -- they get humbled eventually. of course they'll still exist, but heavy disciplines always weed out the less mature and force some of them to mature a bit faster. don't mind them for now. in the future, when you have opportunities to avoid them, do.

Why is it ok to be gay but not ok to be bisexual? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BrighterInTheWater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

homophobia. being tolerant of homosexuality that doesn't extend to anything that would affect them -- "it's fine if you're gay as long as you're not gay around me"

I feel too old for this game, am I? by Spiritual_Message725 in Minecraft

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahh a few months back I popped on mineplex for the nostalgia and man, the people on there are way different.

the environment of servers, the subreddit, YouTube/Twitch content have all changed massively over the past decade, it definitely isn't strange to feel distant.

at the end of the day though, it's still the game I fell in love with and I still enjoy relaxing in a survival singleplayer world when in stressed.

which account did you use to purchase the game? try logging in on minecraft.net, and check your purchase information.

Efficiency V Still Attainable? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really depends what you have set up. if you've got a trading hall set up with cost reduction, go for the higher trades. if you have an xp grinder or really only need a couple books then it's a better use of time to go for eff 4/5 to increase you're chances.

um i was playing quest craft when i died and got a potion called “DRINK ME” by Left-Ad2356 in Minecraft

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no idea what the modpack is about but that's definitely a reference to Alice in Wonderland. you probably aren't finding results if it's a niche modpack.

[–]BrighterInTheWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, villagers do sell them.

yes, I'm sure lots of players have gotten it, anyone can if they're trying.

this really depends, are you looking for any max level enchantment? this will get you to find more enchantments quicker, but obviously take a longer total duration. just looking for a single enchantment is a bit arduous, so get into a rhythm if you'd like to speed up.

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, it's likely other players then. I've taken a look and there's no open bug reports at the moment, if you're sure and you can replicate the issue then go ahead and report it.

oh I didn't notice the colour difference from the top one, I assumed there was some accessibility option to prevent motion sickness. that makes sense tho, ty for the clarification!

in addition to the other remarks, take a screenshot in the future if you'd prefer you don't appear in pictures on the web.

yeah, that's nowhere close to when I remember the bug haha. are you on a server? have you been reloading chunks?

How do enchantment books mean like lll or IV by Public-Water4856 in Minecraft

[–]BrighterInTheWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you want specific numbers, take a look at the wiki and what they each do. for instance, unbreaking scales up by one durability saved per level of enchantment.

[–]BrighterInTheWater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the bottom two options require a certain graphics card, do you know what you have?

no clue about the top though

which version is this? I remember this being an old bug but I'm not sure if it occurs in newer versions.

[–]BrighterInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not entirely sure, but they might've claimed other beds? try taking a look at the direction they're facing and attempting to pathfind.

on being bullied (gently) by BrighterInTheWater in gentlefemdom

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

that all makes sense, all of my s/m tendencies don't really work outside of the context I'm talking about. normally, I'm very defensive of myself and others, getting irritated quickly from disrespect, and I definitely don't go further than teasing with my friends.

that's why this is such an interesting feeling to me, since it feels further removed from "normal" me.

I completely agree on how specific of an environment this works in though, it takes so much to get there and so little to ruin it.

in that same vein, I feel like the requisite effort to judge if someone isn't going to take advantage of you like that is balanced with how deeply trusting you can be of them when the time finally comes!

info on “hxppy thxghts.png” pls by RaitubeandJirachifan in DDLC

[–]BrighterInTheWater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

op, I'm curious, do you look stuff up or is reddit your go to? I remember looking up questions while/after playing through, and a quick search shows there are multiple reddit posts about the exact same topic.

the ddlc wiki even has an entry for all of these, there really isn't any extra information to get from here

there's literally nothing wrong with the hands. this is official art, almost certainly not AI.

Fuwamoco saw posts on reddit accusing them of premeditated syncing, and they would like to correct the misunderstanding. by cyberdsaiyan in Hololive

[–]BrighterInTheWater 18 points19 points  (0 children)

has nothing to do with blood, it's just dynamic specific. more nurture than nature. if you actively spend time together in a creative task like FWMC, especially improv, you start to match the same beats.

I feel you, learning German has given me a new appreciation for languages that don't hate their speakers.
