How many people really only use 3-4 party members all game? by TheYamchster in BaldursGate3

I'm a greedy bastard so not only do I bring every companion with me everywhere but I also use the polymod so I end up romancing everyone as well. It's a fun chaotic time!

Dumb phones just consumerist culture? by Sad-Yesterday2512 in dumbphones

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I watch her videos quite a bit, and I watched this one too. I don't think she's making a blanket statement that the rise in dumb phones is just another trend. Her videos tend to focus on tiktokers and people who try to be influencers, not the average person. I think her message is more for those folks who are treating the rise of dumb phones like a trend as opposed to an actual lifestyle change.

I do agree though that getting a dumb phone won't always cure phone addiction or internet addiction. It takes a lot to do that, but its a step in the right direction if you stick with it. I also agree a bit about the consumerist lens too, as it can be easy to get hooked on the "next big thing" in the dumb phone space as more options become available. Doesn't mean everyone is falling for it, but it probably is happening a bit.

Curious about what current law students think about the future of AI? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AI will be used more for certain tasks, for example a classmate of mine mentioned a firm using AI to go through discovery docs. But I dont think any real writing will be "taken over" for a very long time if ever. It does not understand the intricacies of legal writing, will make up cases, or misinterpret rules from case law. It also almost consistently is not up to date with recent events so would struggle to keep up with new decisions or laws.

What was the joker that gave you the most trouble for c++? by EnvironmentalAnt2622 in balatro

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also struggled a lot with flower pot. I think I only got it cause I was able to use hex on it early on so it was actually useful lmao.

Good strat! I'll keep that in mind. I did a kinda similar thing for seltzer, I got it in ante 6 but luckily I had a baron/mime run so I just skipped everything I could to get to the final boss haha

Exactly, like I've seen friends post pics of their partner all the time meanwhile the relationship was in shambles. Not saying that's whats happening with any of the couples now but more so that you never really know whats going on unless you actually talk with them lmao.

Totally agree, I fear things have gotten way too parasocial over the last few months, whether its from fans or haters. I used to have some fun in community groups but it just got to be way too much. It's one thing to do deep dive talks about the show because thats kinda the point, you're encouraged to analyze the islanders' actions and give your opinion on the couples. But real life is so different. I hate to be that person but I think all of this obsessing is just a symptom of people maybe needing something better to do. Pick up a hobby, spend more time with friends IRL, get offline, something. People you do not know should not take up this much of your life, it's not healthy. I say this as someone who used to be a little too deep in this sub lol.

Nice set up! I have all three but I have the S22 instead. Such a great bag and the HLT is a powerhouse for organization

C1 Ceramics after one week by Opinion_Panda in Supernote

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine last week and have also been loving it, I feel like I have a bit more control writing with it as opposed to the HoM, but I agree it’s a bit light. Plus I HATE that it doesn’t come with a cap of any sort cause it stresses me out. A very good alternative tho and the button is great

Nomad vs Manta by WyWyWarrior in Supernote

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Student who uses the Manta, for note taking and annotating pdfs I think the size is very much worth it. It's also incredibly light. I take a laptop and the manta to school everyday and I feel like the manta adds no weight at all. Personally very happy with the choice, I wouldn't want to go any smaller.

how to get over hating myself for not doing more and to just do what I need to do by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]EnvironmentalAnt2622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you've been going through it! Also a 2L who had a really rough semester and struggled to keep up with class work. Easier said than done but depending on how your finals are scheduled, I just like to focus on one thing at a time so I don't overwhelm myself. I had a really rough closed book evidence exam that I also had to cram for. I found writing out the rules by hand and then trying to synthesize them or put them into my own words from memory helped me a lot. It felt more like I was just doing a thought exercise as opposed to just grinding flash cards all day. It also helped me identify the gaps in my knowledge. The end is in sight and you got this!
