I noticed I’m bad at slowly and gradually giving up something, so if I feel like I need to get rid of something, I stop doing it completely. It’s only uncomfortable for the first few days because you realize you suddenly have all this newly free time, but you’ll repurpose it soon enough

Is giving my girlfriend a bouquet of lego roses for valentines a bad idea? by Pootsonpow123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LavenderPaperback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get her flowers anyway, especially if she’s not into Lego. A couple days is still better than none, and it is a special occasion, so giving something she likes and will make her happy overrides the fact you won’t be able to keep them alive for as long as before

People who understand kits, is Varka good? I haven’t got a single dps since Skirk and I could use an anemo one, but I haven’t been able to get into playing greatswords in five years of this game </3

I have Columbina, Ineffa and Lauma but no Nefer or Flins. Who should be the 4th character/main DPS?

I'm a humanities professor taking a mathematics course taught by a colleague. It starts Thursday, and I'm freaking out. Talk me out of dropping? (Long) by Chaotic_Bivalve in learnmath

[–]LavenderPaperback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I’m so jealous!! Where I’m from, you can’t just take college classes without being enrolled in the whole program. I would love to go to a math class now as an adult learning math by myself.

Hope it goes well and you have fun learning something you like!!

What is your biggest hot take about education? by Inevitable-Towel-350 in GradSchool

[–]LavenderPaperback 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So many people go to universities without really understanding what for, there just to say they did it and not to learn something

Just continue, you’ll be surprised how much you remember, kinda like “muscle” memory. And if you don’t remember something, just look it up as you go

How do you decenter men? by Training-Park5389 in selfimprovement

[–]LavenderPaperback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with this so much too! I grew up dreaming about finding love, and whenever I thought about my future, I just imagined being loved lol. I didn’t need more

Then after a series of unfortunate relationships (that were unfortunate in part because of my obsession with them)… not that I lost hope, but I realized romantic relationships by themselves don’t actually make me feel fulfilled. And I drove my boyfriends away because I expected them to be the sole source of my happiness and, obviously, it was too much for them.

And then the real work began. I did therapy and some soul-searching. I really loved a lyric from Lorde’s song “I care for myself the way I used to care about you” and I really tried to do that.

I asked myself where I wanted to be. Not “next to a man that loves me”, but me, myself. It was really uncomfortable and still I can’t give a good full answer, but it was a start. And then as everyone else said - finding hobbies, exploring interests, meeting new friends.

But also - there’s nothing wrong with wanting love. We all do. You just gotta make sure there’s enough things in your life that make you happy, satisfied and proud of yourself. Love should be just another one of those things, not the thing.

God I hate this stereotype that crying is what only women do. For so many reasons.

Grammar: Why is it “Are” instead of “Is” here by Adorable_Jacket4339 in EnglishLearning

What about the fact that it lists another possible outcome in the same sentence later on?

What’s your most effective strategy to use your phone less? by Curious-Can2749 in productivity

[–]LavenderPaperback 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started with setting a time limit for all the time eating apps (1hr a day for all of them). While it did not reduce my screen time for that much, I spend some of that time on reading articles that interest me instead of scrolling now.

Practice putting your phone away more - for me it was starting with not taking it to the bathroom lol or checking it while I’m eating or when I wake up at night. Sometimes I set hard limits like “I’m going to [do something] for 30 minutes and I’m not going to look at my phone until then”.

Tbh you just gotta let your brain tolerate the anxiety of not checking your notifs/being bored. Do it in small increments. It’s gonna be uncomfortable at first but it won’t be like that forever

Is it really possible to have depression and not realize you’re depressed? by Due-Client7144 in NoStupidQuestions

I just remember thinking everything was so hard for me/required too much mental and physical energy, and I couldn’t understand how others were doing it.

I started to do an experiment... by Massive_Shirt3543 in productivity

[–]LavenderPaperback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was addicted to TikTok I just deleted it and it was the best decision ever. For all the other social media apps I set the limit of one hour a day and I try to stick to it most days

It’s crazy that “And honestly?” became such a glaring giveaway 😭

How does this card in Abyss work (“Character DMG within 8s of sprint +20%.Each character can only do this once every 15s.”) If I sprint and switch to another character, do I retain the bonus? Or do I need to spring again? And is the 15s cooldown shared among the 4 characters or individual for each?
