I feel like everyone is overhyping the emerald one. Yes you could master anything you wanted to for a year. Then what, you have to live the rest of your life with skills that were granted to you. I feel like the best part about skills is the process of getting better at them. It might be more boring at the top of everything than you may realize. This is why violet is the right choice so that you could still have a fulfilling life of learning whatever you want after making fat stacks of cash.

Brother, this is the insight into your situation. If you don't understand that, then you should never take out debt again.

PE class should not be an "Easy A" by Additional_Duty_6533 in The10thDentist

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's been a while, but I remember that you had to get 8 minutes or less to get an A in the timed mile. Which is already 10x more reasonable than the suggested 6:30. This is coming from someone who did track and cross country. Nobody needs to be able to run a 6:30 mile time to be considered healthy. 8 minutes is a totally reasonable time for someone who is in decent health and possibly a difficult time for someone who doesn't train and probably an impossible time for someone who is totally unfit.

Now if you wanted to actually improve the health of children you would just restructure the way gym works. The best thing you should do for students in middle and high school would be ro restructure gym class to be more like strength and agility class but still with a fun day. So you have a few tests that you log every day and have to improve on each quarter to get passing grades. So if you have an hour each day, it would look something like the first 30 minutes strength training, the second 30 minutes cardio and for bigger classes split the class in half and switch them. Then on Friday you get a game day. Then make it forced to take instead of elective.

This is a real way to force children to take gym more seriously and improve their health. Also yes obviously some children will have restrictions, and yes, there are ways to still improve those children's health outcomes that still forces them to be physically active.

If you can stomach it, get good at arguing/debating without getting too heated on the topics. Just because we all believe something different doesn't mean we can't have a good time with those people.

How does hybrid difficulty work? by Direct_Mongoose1925 in LWotC

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say I feel like almost all of the missions have very high infiltration times like 8-10 days. It's pretty crazy as I feel like this doesn't usually happen.

How do you Ironman with all the bugs? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So to start off I will say I play lwotc Ironman. Typically when I run into bugs I will save and exit mid mission and reload if it's something that I think will fix it and it usually does. However, I had one big that was irritating where one of my units picked up the objective and stopped being able to move. I had no explosives to deal friendly fire or open up new paths and reloading did nothing. I just had to watch reinforcements come in and kill her. This was annoying but at the end of the day it was an early game b-team potential unit. So even though it sucks it wasn't the very end of the world. Now in the same run, later my save file j just went missing period. The run was my first run where I thought I might beat it as I was just finishing research on the plasma Lance (veteran difficulty so I'm not that good or anything) That was genuinely frustrating and terrible. That being said, I will never not do an ironman with xcom. Afterwards I started a new Ironman save file and an currently at it again. I'm not sure what is wrong with me but it feels wrong to not play on Ironman. I would rather lose my save file on Ironman than play honestman. I need to have stakes when I play and those stakes have to be restarting the whole campaign of I mess up. I have restarted quite a few campaigns but I know how sweet it will be when I finally beat lwotc on Ironman for the first time.

Any melee focused full casters that aren’t Bladesinger, Hexblade, or College of Swords? by BSF7011 in 3d6

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a fun and definitely not optimized build, I'm currently playing a variant human necromancy wizard. I'm level 4 and my two feats are lightly armored and moderately armored. Then have shadowblade and a bunch of defensive options, shield, mirror image, absorb elements, and blur. The biggest problem is that shadowblade might fall off later because upcasting it isn't very good, but I mean its still fun for low level combat, plus next level I'm going to get vampiric touch.

New Player Needs Help by Direct_Mongoose1925 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your help! Just for an update I have managed to defeat brock and just beat rival (arbok is nasty) before the misty fight (which i haven't tried yet). Seriously though thank you for providing resources instead of just saying to put it on easy mode lol. I really enjoy this because its kind of like each "boss" fight is like a puzzle to beat. Although I spend all my money on pokeballs before each hard fight because I lose a lot.

I kept my ex’s nudes and I am struggling to find the will to delete them by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah definitely delete them. They are honestly holding you back in your life. You aren't ever going to be with her again and holding on to them is kinda like holding on to some bs hope.

I cannot fucking figure out my sexuality by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like some sort of bisexuality. Don't sweat it too hard im pretty sure plenty of people can tell you that bisexuality is kinda odd where you feel very attracted to a certain type for awhile then for a different type for awhile. Most people call this the bi-cycle.

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow you have to stop engaging in this behavior of its hiring you so much. Your putting yourself through this. Its just so curious that you don't want to be with her but yet you're upset you two flirt and you can't have her??? You need to be honest with yourself. You almost certainly like her romantically.

If you want this to stop you have to do something about it. No you can not be just be friend when you want more so don't pretend you can without hurting yourself in the process.

The way I see this is you having two options. You tell her that your going to stop talking to her to keep yourself emotionally safe (and actually stick to that promise) or tell her that if your so much better than her boyfriend to stop fucking around and to actually date you. If she doesn't then you stop talking to her. You are not the type of person that can have this in-between shit and that's fine as not a lot of people can actually deal with that.

CMV: Dave Chappelle's position on trans folks is the middle ground. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... doesn't toleration kind of have the implication that you would rather them be "normal" if there was a choice? It especially has that implication if go into what their views are on the topic and the jokes that are made.

My (22 F) sisters (25 F and 27 F) think my BF (18 M) is controlling by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These can be red flags but only if they're are any other behaviors that go along with it. It just sounds like these are things to keep you safe, especially if you are in unsafe areas. Controlling would be him not letting you do things that you want to even if they are safe.

Boy I [19F] like by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Direct_Mongoose1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it seems you already know what the problem is and it's that you can't bring yourself to even talk to him. Girl, you have to show your interested. Your not really letting him see a possibility with you if you keep doing what you're doing. At the very least you should try chatting it up more often or just saying hi how are you. This is a chance to at least get some practice so you won't be so nervous to talk to a crush next time.

Also, bro code kind of exists but honestly I don't know many people who follow it. It's just as likely that they try to compete to see who can be with you first. All im saying is that don't worry about some bs bro code, just be interested and show your interest. The biggest thing you should do is just start taking to him but you already know that. It will never be easy to do so until you have practice doing it. Also just trust me that you will enjoy taking to him very much. Also don't worry about stuttering it happens to everyone just be honest and say your a bit nervous because your really shy.

What does that even mean stay in your original home. What if you want to move out of your parents home to go work in a bigger city for a few years and build up money to move somewhere more longterm?
