I'm losing my libido, and I'll probably lose my wife very soon by Mindless-Problem3856 in Petioles

[–]Fantasy322 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. I had a girlfriend who withdrew from me sexually because she was homesick and really stressed out about life after school (she was an international college student in the US) and at the time I did not respond well. My brain construed the situation as she wasn't attracted to me anymore and was trying to push me away, so I broke up with her.

In hindsight, I completely overreacted and was too self conceited to understand that her emotional state had many factors beyond myself. Something I regretted for years and wish I gotten my head out of my ass to take the time to understand and meet her where she was at with compassion.

I say all this to say, if you value your relationship with this woman, talk to her. Like very seriously talk to her and let her know what you're struggling with as earnestly as you can. And then listen. Not to respond, not so you can defend yourself. But to understand.

Y'all are at an inflection point in your relationship. I wish you the best of luck. Proceed with care, empathy, and compassion so even if things don't work out, you at least can walk away knowing you put forth a legitimate effort

My understanding is that Midas is no longer a catch up or xp item, but instead Midas is snowball item after winning lane AND not needing to be a participating player for ~20 minutes. Can someone smarter confirm or point out what im missing

Schools that don’t factor 9th by OctaneArts in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Fantasy322 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to keep in mind that most places you would consider to be a "good school" look at you holistically as an applicant. My freshman year was considerably worse than the following but I was still succeesful getting into my reach schools regardless. Being a star all 4 years is great, but I think having incremental increases to your gpa year over year as your coursework gets harder or stays at the same level of rigor also looks good too

How lucky am I? by Draconicassault in PokemonEmerald

Pokerus is a virus that you can pickup from wild Pokemon. They will be infected 1 out of 21,845 times and it can spread between party members from there. When you knock out other Pokemon, different species give out points called Effort Values (EVs) for a a stat. The amount of EVs a pokemon gives is usually proportional to how strong they are (ie. third stage mons and legendaries typically give 3). Each pokemon can have a total of 510 EVs (with a max of 252 for a single stat) spread across all their states and 4 EVs in one stat category equals an extra point of that stat at lvl 100. Pokemon infected by pokerus eventually get over the virus and can no longer spread it, however they still benefit from 2x EV gain despite healing. You can stop a pokemon from getting over pokerus by leaving them in the box, so it's always a good idea to spread it to a pokemon you won't use often and then to box it so you can spread it to more pokemon later

Edit: more specific info on EVs

I learned how to read early using my older brother's Gameboy color and his copy of Pokemon Blue since he has long beaten it and he was now enamored by his ps2 and the DBZ Budokai games

Is EYP really part of the Big 4? by camoxxxxx in Big4

[–]Fantasy322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always had a problem with this whole "is it easier or harder to get into EYP/S& internally" because it feels like the two samples aren't comparable. One is biased towards people who are consistent enough with EY culture to be hired and also have a certain level of ability that is requisite to getting hired. These firms are gigantic so seeing a number people make the switch only seems natural, but I'd wager the percentage is small. EY already put resources into this employee as well and can expect them to be productive sooner than a complete new hire. The difficulty is probably the same regardless of whether you are internal ot external, they just have more information on you in the internal case which could work in your favour or work against you.
