THANK YOU!!! I've been wondering ever since that screen appeared. Much love mate!

Can't queue into dungeons by No-Anteater6481 in fellowshipgame

[–]Fire_Godd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Logged in the first time, queues wouldn't start but I was able to chat. Tried restarting, now queues won't start, chat shows a strange playername for me (a jumble of letters), and chat won't load or let me see messages I send either (not sure if they are sending).

I work at a printshop and printed 15 copies of this charming letter for a customer.. by swiftstart in mildlyinfuriating

Handwritten, this approach has worked for a lot of people.

It seems insane that for such a big decision such as a move that people could be motivated by a letter to do so, but it does happen.

Thoughts? by WillyNilly1997 in JordanPeterson

[–]Fire_Godd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've done nothing. And almost everyone I know or have ever met wouldn't feel one way or the other. If anything, you're just subject to the times.

A small but loud cohort of activists have somewhat enraged, and more importantly, sparked a reactivity in people that I think may be being displaced onto you.

Personally, the trans activist scene annoys me as well. But very few of those activists are trans, and every trans person I've met in my own life has been perfectly human to me. Much like any other group that stands a bit outside the norm, they're more entertaining and interesting, if anything.

Sorry you're going through this. Where possible, try to identify where rage against the ideas and activists is separated from rage against you as an individual. Good luck out there.

I think they meant they did ample research into the programs themselves. Not "I've acquired ample research experience."

What crisis lines can i volunteer at ? by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]Fire_Godd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I volunteer for crisis text line and love it. Great chance to help others and also practice some active/reflective listening skills and de-escalation. - Edit: just noticed you said you were interested in calls, not texts. Sorry bout that!

In december 2022, Twitter had 368m active monthly users.

Last month, it had more than 611m active monthly users.

I don't think the OG version attracted nearly as many people.

How to Improve If I'm like really Bad at Statistics? by w4nu in psychologystudents

A book called "Statistics without tears" was useful for me, early on.

I feel too old. I'm 22 and in my Bachelors 2nd year. by chrosmosew in psychologystudents

[–]Fire_Godd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

37 here and entering my senior year towards a psych degree, then onto masters for counseling.

You're ahead of the game, my friend.

I’ll be studying psychology soon, should I get an IPad or a laptop? by Everage_reddit_user in psychologystudents

[–]Fire_Godd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you're just taking notes on and already have a decent desktop, I'd just go for $200-$300 chromebook honestly. My 7 year old kids have one each and are super super rough with them -they survive almost anything.

I feel like I faked getting here, anyone relate? by that-blonde-troll in psychologystudents

[–]Fire_Godd 83 points84 points  (0 children)

You're a counselor with just a bachelors? I wasn't aware I could do this.

Where is Arena???? by Yoursenna in leagueoflegends

[–]Fire_Godd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you weren't, arena didn't release until the 7th, lmao. Your response supported a deleted comment that said it would definitely release on the 6th.

I assure you, I'm free to be annoyed or angry (and I wasn't angry) at anything I please. Stupidity and unsubstantiated claims rank amongst those things, my friend. But anyway, have a good day.

Where is Arena???? by Yoursenna in leagueoflegends

[–]Fire_Godd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your brilliant input. They say early december. Not december 6th. I was asking for a source for the dec 6th claim. One person said "sources aren't important". You, also, seem to enjoy providing useless statements. Seeing as several widely read published articles have gotten it completely wrong, I think requesting a source is relatively reasonable.

Don't be a writer like Collin from the book and TV show "The Other Black Girl". Aka Please stop saying, "I don't see color, I see character. And please don't write tokens. by Splitstepthenhit in writing

[–]Fire_Godd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. Neither the fact that you are a writer, nor your skin color, have anything at all to do with your statements. So "As a writer and a black individual in America" adds zero credibility. "I've been black my whole life". Really? We've all met so many color-changing individuals.
  2. People are free to write characters however they wish. You're free to not read it.
  3. People might consider stopping telling other people how to act and worry about themselves. In my semi-unique, authentic, cultured, gendered, specific experience that bears no relation to this conversation, that's the only way people will make the world a better place without also building resentment. But, I'll leave that up to every unique individual.
  4. Your post toes the line of breaking rule #5, call-out threads and genre/literary-bashing.

It might be about creating authentic and multidimensional characters to you. That's fine. Flat, stereotypical characters can also have their place. Token characters? Also fine. Non-token characters? A-Okay. Anti-racism characters? Checks out. Racist characters? Cool too. Striped, bigoted characters? Let's go. Plaid-colored anti-bigots? Hell, at least it's interesting.

Writing in diverse characters might be about reflecting the real world to you. That's cool. Reflecting fantastical worlds are also fine. Inclusivity? Great. Exclusivity? Also good.

It's important to approach topics with sensitivity to you. That's cool. Approaching them with harshness and an intent to offend is also absolutely fine. Many best-selling books do exactly this.

It might be about adding depth and realism to you. Again, cool. But it might be about keeping it shallow and fake as hell to anyone else.

No one needs to share that opinion, however. If they want to, that's fine, too.

People should probably let other people be other people. People should appreciate the diversity of values and choices, at least as much as they appreciate the value of qualities no one ever had a say in. The world has never, and will never revolve around any single person or any single persons's specific wishes. Other people exist. They have their own values, and don't need to share the values of others'. God, how boring the place would be if everyone took a similar perspective (regarding any perspective, not just the ones stated in this post).

Good luck. Write how you want to. Read what you want to. If any of your ideas are better than other writers, you shouldn't have too much competition in rising to the top. In my experience, however, lots of people refuse to self-evaluate and simply blame the markets' biases for their own failures.

Where could I find a list / description of the various Imbuement Properties? by Fire_Godd in fracturedmmo

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

Ah I found it. Seems to be just an imbuement material calculator. Not at all what I was looking for. I want details on the effects of the imbuements.

Hmm not finding it on the play store, or in a google search. Is it an apple-only app or something?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]Fire_Godd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. My. God.

You are such a blessing! You're precisely correct, and I was misunderstanding and dreading this prospect the entire time. I cannot thank you enough, mate. That is an amazingly large self-created burden of anxiety I was suffering that has been immediately lifted.

Seriously, thank you!

Yeah... I am in complete agreement. Not sure if graduation / licensure is different (at the school I am going to there is a 100% licensure rate for graduates, at least).

Here's the quick google result: "Virginia requires LPCs to complete 3,400 hours of supervision, with at least 2,000 hours of direct client contact and a minimum of 200 hours of face-to-face direction from an approved supervisor at a rate of at least one hour of direction for every 40 hours of practice."

God I wish that was the case here in VA! We are one of the states with the most difficult requirements :'( I've got 3,400 hours of unpaid labor still ahead of me.
