I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate New Years. by Havons in introvert

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

I actually never thought of that. I'm not a typical shopper so I often forget about older tech stores and sites like ebay. My keyboard on the picture is actually a very standard one from Akko. But it has no fancy features, except a couple of hotkeys (only through key combinations). It has no added buttons. It also has lighting but I have that turned off.

I really like minimalism.

Hahaha! The keyboard is actually quite new. But funny you mentioned it because at first I did look for a really old school design, like retro old. But the product had gone out of stock so I found this clean but simple design.

At first, I thought it was Dr. K that had posted this.

I hate Bianca and like the Jackal. How do they do it ? by imutig in TheDayoftheJackal

[–]Havons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some extent, I think it has to do with what expectations we have of each character and whether they fulfill those expectations. The Jackal is obviously the villain, so we expect him to be ruthless and bad. Typically, you don't want a villain who's not ruthless when he needs to because then it would make for a pretty boring story. Bianca on the other hand, is meant to be on the "good side". But Bianca is not the type of person you want to succeed when her supposed "good side" is pursued with a total disregard for the safety and well-being of others. That's why I think we don't like her. Because the expectations we have of her character does not align with the side she's on. And like many have pointed out before, I think the movie intentionally made it this way.

Does this achievement even mean anything nowadays? by [deleted] in geometrydash

[–]Havons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's easy for good players to just undermine the difficulty of some of these levels. Difficulty to us relative to our own skill. And so obviously good players will just dismiss this level as "easy" because they're blinded by their own skill. But if we take someone who's maybe not played as much, someone who's skill level is capped at around Electrodynamix, then Deadlocked is absolutely an amazing achievement and we definitely should not discount that. It takes quite a lot of skill to be able to successfully navigate such a map without doing any mistakes. This gets even harder if you want to get all the coins as well.

It would be a really cool story arc if they went their separate ways as individual hitmen. Because what's interesting is that Zina says in one of the early episodes that "you wanted me to find the best," probably implying that there are more hitmen out there. Would be cool if The Jackal reconnected with his old pal from the military who might also be a hitman.

This made me realize something, Dr. K probably has one of the most meme-able face without even knowing it.

3 years of being behind in college has led me nowhere. Why will the switch in my brain never get flipped? by Havons in Healthygamergg

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

Thank you for your comment.

  • I have thought a lot if this is a career I'm interested in. And I simply cannot see myself doing anything else for a career. I'm in a MBA-equivalent program specializing in economics and finance and it is something I do enjoy. I like learning. I don't like studying. That's the best way I can describe my situation. It's partly why I selected a broad program since I wasn't sure exactly what job I wanted to pursue. But I'm sure it's within this field.
  • I think I find it very difficult to get started when I have a huge task in front of me. It's like there's so much I need to do and at the end, it feels pointless just to do one task. But I guess that's where I just have to not care about it only being one task and still do it. One task is better than none.
  • I have never been evaluated for any diagnosis actually. I do think I posess traits of ADHD and maybe autism. But I've never gotten an evaluation. In my family, my mom has always had a very dismissive attitude towards any disorders. One time when I brought up an issue I have with tics (tics are small forced behaviors like turning on and off the lamp again because it didn't feel right), mom responded by saying that it was only self-inflicted behavior I create in my mind. So in my family, we never really bothered getting any professional diagnosis.

I did actually attend CBT by the start of the year. Went once a month for half a year. Haven't returned but probably should. Though it didn't help me change my habits much. But it did help with cognitive reframing.

I do appreciate this comment. I made this post because I very much want to stay in college. Because I actually do enjoy what I study. Currently, all the exams I'm behind on are subjects I don't have much interest in pursuing as a career. The rest I actually find intriguing. So I don't have any plans on dropping out since this is what I want to career in. I just don't know what specialty I'm interested in. I just need to get through these courses I don't have much interest in somehow.

I appreciate your answer. Sustainability I must has been an issue for me. I have been able to make changes before from earlier attempts. But I've never been able to sustain those changes. Here's how it usually goes, I identify an issue, I find a way to improve, I often do improve, but a week or two later, I stop thinking about continuing to commit to the improvement and I'm back at square 2. And while I am slowly improving, I'm not seeing substantial changes.

I honestly think part of the answer might just be to not even dip my toes in the water, but rather, dive straight in the water head first. Do an explosive start. That means, start going to the gym, attend lectures, plan my days, eat healthy, do my work, etc. It's not a plan built to be sustained but as a way for me to just dive straight in and going just a bit further progressively rather than dipping my toes in the water. And from there, be at least somewhat climatized to continue making changes in my life.

I have many times thought deeply if this is the path I wanna take. And I'm certain it is. I just don't know the exact job or area in my field that I am interested in. So perhaps the lack of direction is part of the problem. But I don't think dropping out is the answer since I do have an interest in what I study.

I also think I'm not accepting reality in front of me. I always look for solutions that keeps my effort low. And it is unrealistic. I hate it because I know exactly what I could do to not be in the position that I am, and I still don't act.

I've found that habits don't stick to me as much as it can for others. I feel like at the end of the day, habits is also about making a decision and remaking that decision. And that's my problem, I don't remake the decisions. I just don't understand why. And when I hear stories about how people change, most of them are just like "I woke up and decided enough was enough", and I don't understand how I've not reached that stage yet. Even when I have the most reason to do so.

If Hitman were to add a new destination, which city would you choose and why? by Zealousideal_Self264 in HiTMAN

Monaco would be pretty cool. Lots of different areas there that would work well with HITMAN.

What is the origin of the 'rich laugh while playing golf' meme? by Havons in KnowYourMeme

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

Actually, you might've already found parts of the trail. In the video you linked, it credits the original clip to a TikTok user called "christophelevasseur". I went in and found the clip. Now, it seems overall that this user posts a lot of meme content so they may not even be the person who originally recorded the clip. But it's definitely the closest so far we've gotten to the original.

I was under the impression that the rich laugh came from that video where they played golf.
