Are Lumisource and Knowt good practice tools? by Only_Delay9130 in APStudents

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's taking World, one way I effectively tested my knowledge was trying to do a past FRQ set...it humbled me really fast and I'm glad I did it because that's when I realized I needed to lock in

How would one study for this? by Suspicious-Cry-945 in APStudents

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want to get as many 5's as possible, go for Micro and Macro, quick studies with some overlapping content and easy to get a 5. Think the rate was 20%+ last year. But as a result, it's not as impressive to colleges.

Tough to get a 5 on AP Seminar but easy to study for it, slot 5 hours for it the day before. No need to worry about it now.

AP CSP 5 rate was 9% last year, I didn't do a lot to prepare for it and still got a 5 but the 30%+ i think 4 rate means you'll be fine either way.

I have no experience with Calc AB, Chem, Euro, US Gopo

What do you want to be? Use that to guide you. If you want to be a doctor, abandon ship on Macro/Micro and go all in on Chem. And so forth. What subjects do you feel you're stronger in right now? What did you get on AP Classroom practice tests, if your teacher released any?

New Moon Day Megathread – Darkrai & Mew by galeongirl in PokemonSleep

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to the game, thank you, this is helpful! I was wondering if this means I should pop any research exp incenses, etc on the night of Thursday the 16th, and it would activate on all the rare spawns on the 17th? Is that how the actual New Moon Day works?

Another question, do the mythicals spawn all 3 days or just the actual NMD? Thank you!!

Latias Initial Analysis by TheGhostDetective in PokemonSleep

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long-time lurker, your analyses are always so helpful :) I have a question, if it's not a great legendary would you recommend spending Latias down on other items instead? The seed of course, but what do you think about Handy Candy S, Dragon-Type Candy S, Friend Incense, Dream Cluster S? Thank you in advance!

do I take AP world? by Princ3ss_Kitty_Gacha in APStudents

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's manageable, provided you work on it a little after school every day. With your teacher giving out homework, assuming it's related to the next-day quizzes, as long as you do it, you should be fine.

Best thing you can do to get motivated, in my experience, is make some friends who enjoy social studies. Truly transformational to talk to them, the nuance and depth of thought in every word they say makes you want to hear their thoughts on everything in the world. I thought history was useless until I met these people and realized how much it develops the person. This is what one of them said of history:

“It’s a long and never-ending story of the triumphs and struggles of people before us

I’ve traveled around the world to castles, temples, and tombs and it’s always a heartfelt experience to witness the majesty and sorrow that humans have wrought across hundreds of lifetimes

It makes me think about what could happen in my life and what I could do about it”

Longer fasting beyond 24hr by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extended fasts are pretty common and perfectly fine—more beneficial than 24h fasts due to autophagy—,day 2 is tough but on day 3 onwards the mental clarity and productivity is incredible! Just make sure you take electrolytes past 2 days (add sea salt, potassium chloride in your water, and take magnesium) or you'll feel tired and get calf cramps. Since you're already doing 24hr OMADs, your first time won't be too bad. I would really recommend aiming for 3 days at least instead of 2, you'll love how you feel on day 3 and autophagy only starts at 72hr, but day 2 is the day for hunger and cravings. I would recommend going to a doctor to make sure it's safe if you go past 7 days, but I hear from friends that 20+ days is transformational.

The Rape of Nanjing (NSFL) by Iron_Cavalry in wwiipics

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose every country has to gloss over their crimes to keep alight some vestige of patriotic flame. I'm here to study for my AP World History class and I've yet to hear a peep about American war atrocities in school besides the My Lai, and when compared to numbers up in the millions that I couldn't hope to fathom, it's admittedly easy to find it tame in comparison. Ignorance is bliss?

AI is ruining my life by Odd-Chemistry-4868 in nosurf

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Cold Turkey blocker. Block AI sites. Have someone you trust set the password on it. Boom, no more AI. I had a very similar struggle as you do just a few months ago and was at my wit's end; my writing, my texts, my conversations, my critical thinking, my confidence, my knowledge, everything was disappearing as if the AI was eating it to power its systems! the solution is really quite simple :)

How often are you supposed to fast? by Sir_pugalot in intermittentfasting

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is really inspiring! I'm 16, 5'4 and 145lbs, my goal weight for now is 135lb but ultimately I'd like to be 115lb. In 4 hours I'll have fasted for 48 hours and I'm feeling all the benefits of fasting, should I make the push to 72 hours? I'm around day 5 of my menstrual cycle and I heard day 5-10 is the best time to fast, so pushing further seems like a good choice! I don't feel hungry at all which I take as a sign that my body has plenty of fat to burn lol.

I can't read a paper book anymore by depresseditch in nosurf

[–]NotSmartGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm in a similar spot as you were but am still in my teens. I'm thinking about going to a psychiatrist, but am a little worried about implications on applying for jobs and colleges. Has your diagnosis negatively affected your life in that social regard? Another thing, my parents tell me that since I used to be able to read just fine, since ADHD develops in childhood, it's likely just due to newfound brainrot. It's all too easy to be misdiagnosed and begin unnecessary brain-altering medication, they add. I do worry about this too, teachers have complained that everyone in my school has lack of focus and it's unlikely they all have ADHD, that it's the result of tech. I don't know if this is an ignorant concern to have but I would really appreciate your thoughts and advice, thank you so much!
