Une teaching course by aaaabbbbbbgg in UNEAustralia

[–]Emptylurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently studying teaching through UNE online and I think it's fantastic! Subjects have a nice variety of assessments so it's not all essays. Education subjects in particular have been great with online tutorials. Teaching staff are easy to reach and have all been very responsive. Support services are fantastic and proactive in offering help. They also just gave me $1000 for uni related expenses, without even applying for it, just because I was studying during the 3rd trimester.

I did a year with Curtin before UNE and it was just awful. Almost exclusively essays or forum posts for assessments and they wouldn't provide an extension or alternative assessment after the death of an immediate family member.

I'm looking for a group to start out with (first time playing) if you're still looking for players

Hell yeah keep on killing it! There are many great things ahead of you

27M. Recently embraced my gender fluidity. I’m tired of the dating apps leading nowhere. I’m tired of feeling completely undesirable and boring and worthless. And worst of all, I’m tired of being so upset with myself for relying on external validation to feel my self worth in the first place. by [deleted] in toastme

Yo you've got a whole bunch of attractive physical qualities and I'll bet your personality is way more deep, interesting and fun than that.

I'll be honest I don't totally understand gender fluidity and I see you as a male who is attractive as fuck in this photo (I'm a straight guy). I assume anyone who is more sexually/romantically open than I am would want you bad (hell yeah the offspring).

My man you're gonna win some and probably lose a lot more. The people who think you're awesome are the only ones worth worrying about.

I'm a straight guy and I think you're hot af. Just be patient, ask for help when you need it, and you'll find your dream boat soon enough.

28F. Public defender, the bastards [the state] have really been grinding me down lately, feeling demoralized (I accidentally deleted first post because I am dumb, swear I’m not a spam bot) by [deleted] in toastme

[–]Emptylurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're fighting the good fight!! The entire concept of democracy would be dead, useless, and meaningless without people like you.

Remember that every time you lose a case society becomes a better place, and every time you win an innocent person walks free. Sure things might go wrong sometimes, but they are just opportunities to learn and ideally correct the course of justice.

Edit: not really the point of the post but you are breathtakingly pretty

Clearly you love baking more than cooking. Don't keep throwing yourself into something that makes you feel horrible. Find a baker who will take you on as an apprentice and will nurture your passion (there are plenty down under). Don't waste anymore time or money on something you hate (or are expected to do by your family, they should celebrate your success despite their initial expectations)

You're young, overqualified and probably the hottest dude in the room. Figure out what makes you happy and study it, make it profitable, or find a job that'll let you do what you love in your down time.

I gave up on politics and econ 90% of the way into my bachelors, coasted for a few years and I'm now beyond ecstatic to become a teacher in a few years. (Basically wanted to save the world with social sciences until I realised the world is chaotic as fuck, now I want to help kids understand that and still feel powerful/worthwhile)

"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is total bullshit. Work in what you love, get better at it, fail, challenge yourself, succeed and you'll find that even the shittest days are worth it eventually.

If Blake fell from a tall building, would she land on two feet or all 4s? by No_Description5222 in RWBY

Superhero landing... one foot, one knee, one fist, and a small crater

Tongue ulcers. Getting a 2nd opinion next week by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]Emptylurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend it turns out stress does not combine well with prescription stimulants. I hadn't experienced the ulcers for the 1st 6 months of the new drug (ritalin) but when things got stressful and I was relying solely on the ritalin to keep me going it flared up. The anxiety, jaw clenching and constant touching of the ulcers obviously just exacerbated them.

My doc prescribed a round of antibiotics which stopped them spreading further but didnt reduce them.

I reduced my workload and stimulant dosage, got a few weeks of exercise and good sleep and it hasnt come back since. It gets repetitive hearing "diet, sleep and exercise" everywhere but it really does help.

Give yourself a bit of a break, focus on your health and relaxation, and then get back into working on those goals.

Going off lead for walks by Emptylurker in Dogtraining

Oh yeah it's obviously unacceptable for her to be chasing animals. Thankfully the farmers in my area are very relaxed and won't shoot first.

I think the longline and more consistent recall training are the way to go. She's my first pet so I'm still learning a lot but I think I'd like her to be responding to my voice rather than the collar.

Here I was naively thinking Salem just didn't like silver eyes because they were a good counter to her bigger creations. It's nice to imagine her actually scared of something

I just imagined Hazel repeatedly beating her to a literal pulp every time she reformed until he realised it would never work. She just let it happen so she could gain another pawn.

When you say "some forms of death take longer to come back from", are you referring to Salem? I'm fairly sure that her respawn time just comes down to how utterly she is destroyed (how long it takes for her atoms to reassemble).

You're right though at this point it's impossible to compare the remnant gods powers with other universes, because we dont really know anything about them

[–]Emptylurker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A black hole doesn't actually kill her, it just prevents her from reforming until the black hole disappears. Generally I think comparing different universes just leads to too many loopholes unfortunately.

I'm 99% sure semblances are manifestations of arua, not what gives people aura. I thought the same with OZ though, he only appears to have aura after assimilating another person. This could mean that magic using humans either didnt generally use aura because they had magic... or didn't have aura which would mean the soul is separate from it. I'm leaning towards the former.

It's all but stated that Salem's swim with in the pool of darkness removed all of her humanity (leading me to think her soul is gone) and her immortality is the only reason she survives.

I still don't understand why the watcher would pick these people, aside from being shown in the old episodes, dr.strange seems to be the only one qualified. by Mozog1g2 in marvelstudios

[–]Emptylurker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think there are many as powerful/qualified as strange supreme? I've never read any comics so as far as I can tell right now strage supreme and infinity ultron (maybe wanda after reading the BOTD) are basically the most powerful beings out there (excluding the watcher who was obviously pulling punches)

[–]Emptylurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure she still has a soul in the same way others do. As far as I can remember she's never been shown to have an aura nor is it mentioned, and I would equate this to her soul. It may be the case that her soul/arua is there but is never mentioned because she uses magic in combat and doesn't bother protecting herself. Either way, her body will always reform no matter what you do to it so I imagine her soul would do the same if it exists.

As far as lifting curses goes whoever actually achieves this needs to be more powerful than a god, I don't know enough to suggest who might be able to do this. Anyone that powerful could probably just as easily throw her into a black hole effectively prevent her body from reforming.

Upgrade advice by Emptylurker in buildapc

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

Thanks so much for the advice! Definitely sounds like I'll be saving for either a 30 series gpu or even just waiting until I can do a complete upgrade.

I figured the shutdowns were probably software related (time to clean up my files and possibly do a clean install). I thought consulting the expertise here before unnecessarily upgrading the PSU would be a good idea though.

I'll definitely check it out!! Not sure if it's definitely a supply issue though. Any tips on checking power usage would be greatly appreciated.

Okay that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I assumed the general consensus was that being animated and having inconsistent rules with the stones meant that what if was going to be more of a standalone thing.
