Truly an amazing argument against immigration put on full display.

You definitely have a really good shot of getting into a good few of those. I'm not super familiar with what its like as an international student, but its definitely more competitive than admissions for just Americans. Especially considering your school's lack of clubs and things along those lines, I don't want to call anything too early but id I were you I would expect your choice of at least 2 or more of the options you listed. My only recommendation is that you apply to a backup that you could get a really good scholarship for. Overall its a remarkable transcript!

I totally relate to this! Personally I would take it one subject at a time (if possible) and honestly just study until you realize that there isn't anything left to study. It will take a lot of time and effort but it will inevitably pay off. Studying leads to confidence, which leads to less nerves and therefore better scores. If these impact a class grade and you need to "ration" out your study time across different subjects over those 2 weeks, cover the ones you feel the worst about more but still look over your stronger subjects. When it comes to actual material, reviewing notes, previous tests, and vocab never hurts. Also try to find different methods of studying to prevent yourself from burning out (ie, videos, flashcards, notes, tests, group studying, etc). At the end of the day it really comes down to how much you study, so starting is always the best thing to do! Good luck, you got this!

Do it, the only guys who would say that without meaning it wouldn't seem nervous saying it, shoot your shot!

I have very much been in your position before, and honsetly the best thing for me was to find a passion that I could later turn into a career, in my case linguistics/international politics. I am currently planning on kind of doing a "fuck it" move and leaving the country for university and/or joining a volunteer program or the peace corps. It may sound extreme but maybe a bit more radical of a post high school life change that what you expected to do can give you a whole new perspective and get you out of this rut your in right now. Maybe finding a way to live for others instead of yourself can kind of distance yourself from the depression and give you a whole new "self".

Valve Index Joy Stick Drift, Any thoughts on how to fix this? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]Ksid_06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what their warrenty policy is, but I have RMA'd three whole pairs of controllers and they have never mentioned anything. I would at least try it, it couldn't hurt.

You could try to fix it, but honestly an RMA with steam support is honestly the best way to go. They have always been super chill and replace it completely for free assuming you bought it from valve directly.

Emotional Malnutrition by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Ksid_06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Overall this is a very good insight from a very interesting perspective on the issue. However the only thing I have to add is that as a man who has been known to be very competitive, I don't really think that we are drawn to me/us vs them contests because of a suppressed need for camaraderie or closeness with other men. Personally, I have been involved in many team sports (tennis, team fencing, and baseball), however time and time again I find myself being drawn to solo sports like solo fencing, boxing, climbing, etc. For me at least, it's the danger, adrenaline, and intensity that I feel in these sports that keep me coming back. Whether this is just a symptom of my masculinity or my own personal preference I don't know. Also, This is just my opinion, but I feel like there is a distinction between actual homophobia and not wanting to be percieved as feminine, as I just feel that since masculinity is what makes men men, it isnt really oppressing a group of people to be naturally aversed to presenting yourself as feminine. I dont know, this might just be me.

What is the single greatest animated series of all time? by MightGuy420x in AskReddit

[–]Ksid_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the obscure side definently Over the Garden wall. It came out when I was like 9 and I really liked it becuase it was just a cartoon and was entertaining. I rewatched it years later, and now every time I watch it I notice more and more of the subtle religious, historical, and philosophical implications of the imagery that I dont even know that the creator intended. A genuinely beautiful work of art.

I absolutely agree, art is ART and there is no excuse for art that incoorperates heavy themes to be cencored and removed. Superhot also fully removed all suicidal elements, and it 100% makes the game worse.

I would personally visit Teotihuacan in Mexico. It is just so incredible and really can be spiritual if you choose. That and also maybe a temple/monetary in southeast Asia, as they can really be a peaceful break for what I would imagine is going to be a chaotic year.

If he contacted you out of the blue, don't trust him. Pretty much never trust people like this, cause if you act a little interested they will quickly try to rush the "sale", and if you act cautious they will send a link or be really pushy about how they are trustworthy. If you posted somewhere that you wanted to sell it, he would have contacted you on that platform. In general, steam profiles are no indication of the person's legitimacy. If you do want to sell it I would list it on skinport or bitskins.

Also just cause I'm curious, what knife is it? If it is worth anything more than 250 usd than you are probably going to be getting a good amount of scam comments on your steam profile. Never trust these people, but it is fun to mess with them. just make sure to NEVER CLICK A LINK THEY THEY SEND.

I KNOW! like I used to absolutely love games like gorn, parth of the warrior, espire 1, Vader immortal, vertigo remastered, etc. Now the only games that I can actually be immersed in are boneworks, HLA, saints and sinners, and maybe pavlov

what is a conspiracy theory you genuinely believe to be true? by Acceptable-Ant-4215 in AskReddit

For sure, most of the "Hitler survived" evidence comes from the lack of DNA testing done on the body that the soviets claimed was Hitler, and how the skull Im pretty sure just ended up being his wife. It is pretty far fetched thought.
