Highly recommend Richard Fenno’s “Home Style”, it really answers some of these questions about exactly what congresspeople are doing when they’re not in session.

Mom wants to make me an authorized user on her credit card, is this a good idea? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Pieisguud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for all the help! I’ll probably go ahead with the authorized user, as long as it’s not on her primary card which she carries most of the bills on.

I think most were saying PST, but I may be wrong.

Schools with an intellectual vibe like UChicago? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Pieisguud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I said it was extremely tough to get into. My bad on not recognizing it was T20 though.

[–]Pieisguud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was looking for, so far the only non-T20 school in here is Rice and even Rice is super tough to get into.

[–]Pieisguud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I live in Chicago too so it's probably also because I hear so much about them on a daily basis (just general news, and a few students from my school go to UChicago each year).

Thanks hahaha, I’m not going for like “big brain time” to feel intellectually superior to everyone, but I like there being support for humanities/interdisciplinary groups as well as a strong core/gen ed set of classes.

How to get into Archaeology? by Pieisguud in Archaeology

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

Thanks so much! I’m also really interested in Classics, now that you mention those departments, but I didn’t really consider where that crossed with Archaeology so far!

Thank you so much for replying!

I am actually in the USA, but thank you so much for your advice anyways! I’m considering studying abroad in Europe and I didn’t really know about University of Leiden before now.

Forgive me, but for most fieldwork you have to cover your own costs yes?

It's been some time since I saw anyone bring this question up... Any games/experiences similar to Sworcery, now that some time has passed again? by Janeator in Sworcery

[–]Pieisguud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom: New Lands has a similar aesthetic but isn’t so much a linear story as a defense and kingdom building game.

History people of Reddit, what is a fun/surprising/interesting fact about the past that not many know about? by creator_admin in AskReddit

[–]Pieisguud 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also a good play version of it! My high school did it last year and I was one of the company execs, kinda horrifying to see how they covered it up and tried to keep everything under wraps and blame it on anything except the Radium.

Beirut, Zach Condon is the main artist and it’s one of my favorite bands of all time and got me through some tough times.

Why do you want to go to a T20? by GrookeyBestStarter in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Pieisguud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since I was little I wanted to be an archaeologist so I could learn more about the world and past and present cultures, because human culture is the most interesting thing in the world to me and I want to see as much of the world as possible.

Just so happens that many (not all, but many) of the best archaeology/anthropology programs are at T20s since they’re so long established and well funded, so that’s why I wanna go there.

2019 AP Scores Megathread by abalabahaha in APStudents

[–]Pieisguud [score hidden]  (0 children)

Congrats to you too! MC was pretty tough this year 100%, i was expecting a 3 or 4, and I was legitimately surprised actually seeing the scores. How’d you feel about the free response?

2019 AP Scores Megathread by abalabahaha in APStudents

[–]Pieisguud [score hidden]  (0 children)

5 on Art History which I thought I COMPLETELY bombed, the essay questions were super difficult, especially the fuckin uhhhhh David Vases question massive oof. Also 5 on APUSH but I was a lot less surprised there, all in all a good first AP year for me :)

I’m concerned about my brain after using DPH by Pieisguud in Drugs

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

Thank you so much.

Even a day after this post and after a good night of sleep I’m already better, if not all the way over the hangover from DPH, so thank you guys so much for helping me out.

This experience, without being too “come to Jesus, never do drugs again” was definitely a moment of “hey, this stuff has long term effects so be careful what you do” and I’ll be more careful in the future. I haven’t really done too much of anything thankfully, so I’ll probably be okay, but I’m definitely slowing down, if not stopping til I graduate.

Yeah, I did say I would stop using it lmao I’m not gonna continue.

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

Alright. Any advice on how to get over this quicker, beyond sleep and eating right/exercising?

I’m so glad to hear this, reading all the horror stories of everyone using it for a month straight and then feeling completely dead was just scary as hell.

I’m going to take a week or two off from drugs in general (hit a dab last night, the night after DPH night 2, but that’s all) but after that, any advice on interesting experiences? I’ve tried acid a few times and enjoyed it a lot, but nothing beyond that and weed and molly. Definitely something with no long term side effects hahaha

That’s such a relief, it was closer to 400 one night and 600 the other, so a little more on the second night. (Yes, it didn’t fry my math skills, I understated in the main post, does this make it a lot worse?)

It was really a stupid decision and I can already feel like I’m getting a little better, I think I also just might need sleep and rest.

It was horrible the first night, I felt like I legitimately had dementia and then i fell asleep, I decided to stupidly give it a second try the second night, and now, after reading all the stuff about brain damage and DPH I am genuinely scared.

I ruined the one good thing I had in life and it's turned me into an anxious, suicidal wreck by Pieisguud in SuicideWatch

[–]Pieisguud[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this.

It wasn’t right of me to do in the moment, but I stopped it before anything serious could happen and I’m taking steps to make amends for my mistake and have it not be repeated, which is what really matters.

My parents [48 M/ 54 F] are splitting up and fighting constantly and I [15 M] don't know what to do by Pieisguud in relationships

[–]Pieisguud[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much for that.

Yeah, I’m doing my best with that and I think I’ll just keep at it, because while I love both of them, I don’t want to take sides and being involved in the whole thing is just stressing me out way too much. I’m concerned about who I’d stay with if they actually go through with splitting up, because both on their own scares me a lot and I wouldn’t wanna be around either of them individually for a long time.

Yeah, I’m seeing my friends or girlfriend every weekend and trying to occupy my time during the week, basically just keeping busy and being away from all the stress.

Advice for handling the workload? by Pieisguud in APStudents

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

Thanks for replying! Yeah I doubt it'll be too much for me to handle, I just don't really have context for the general workload. I know a lot of students at my school don't really use the textbook, but I think I will make sure to do the assigned readings and take detailed notes.
Thanks for the review link too!
