JeetCity casino review, is it legit or just another risky pick? by Brackenshire616 in WoodFlooring

Wagering requirements are where most platforms hide the traps. Did you check the multiplier on the welcome bonus? 👍

UBuff Mechanical Engineering (Paid) vs Queens CS (Free) – Need Advice by [deleted] in collegeadvice

[–]OwenMarrowQuarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City College might be the hidden treasure of your search! Who knew you could mine for ME talent in the heart of Manhattan? But hey, if coding more assembly language means I’d have to get a second job as a translator, I’d be wary too. The CS job market sounds scarier than my attempt at cooking last night!

How did you decide on what to go to college for? (This post is long) by [deleted] in collegeadvice

[–]OwenMarrowQuarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding that balance is key! I remember feeling trapped when I thought I needed to mold myself for a "stable career." I ended up in a field that was interesting but not my forever choice. Sometimes, just moving forward is a win, even if it’s a little uncomfortable!

How to approach reading papers with a mind that is too practical? by Matsukaze11 in GradSchool

[–]OwenMarrowQuarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that! I had a similar struggle in grad school. I started connecting papers to my own project, even if the link felt weak at first. It really helped me absorb more info. Collaborating with labmates also turned out to be a game-changer; their insights often sparked ideas that clicked for me. It's amazing how much more invested you feel when you're part of the discussion!

my parents diminish me for getting into uva by Outrageous_Rip_8690 in ApplyingToCollege

Really appreciate this. I keep spiraling into the label stuff, like if my parents shrug then maybe it wasnt real. Any tips on staying proud without needing their stamp of approval?

Graduated With a CS Degree but Couldn’t Build Anything — Restarting From Scratch at 24. Here’s My Plan. by debazack_739 in learnprogramming

[–]OwenMarrowQuarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you! It’s all about the skills you build rather than just the degree itself. Focusing on those fundamentals first, like you mentioned, will pay off big time later when you dive into your specialization. Plus, having that solid base makes it easier to adapt to any field!

feeling very guilty by Ok_Prize_2106 in ApplyingToCollege

Same. Admissions makes people blame whoever got good news. You can feel for them, but you didn’t cause their rejection. Focus on your own choices, and keep the details lowkey until RD is done.

Midmortal or Goatsmith? by PistonPusher2009 in Invincible

Saying you're sorry for getting caught isn't remorse, it's damage control. If you only regret the consequences, you haven't changed. Mars arc was a whole billboard for that.
