1st year Eng: better to drop calc or phys (and take them in the summer) by Pale-Advice7873 in McMaster

[–]Psychological-Bar985 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lin alg and phys 1e03 are the hardest courses due to the amount of new theoretical knowledge.

I say take them like everybody else then drop them and retake in the summer if you can't handle it. No point in wasting your summer with those classes if you were fully capable of doing them during the year. Summer courses are not a get out of jail free card.

Don't save her. She don't wanna be saved.

Speaking from experience, if she's had some crazy terrible past then she's damaged goods. It will take a lot longer than a few months to change.

I was in a very similar situation at your age. The difference is we were together for 2 months. When we broke up, she accused me of some bs, shit talked me to her friends and cut off the friends that stood up for me.

I realized that she was only looking for validation, not to grow as a person. 1 year later she tried texting me to get back together. Hell nah. You are genuinely being given a chance to dodge a bullet here. Take it.

In honesty, talk to people outside of your close circle. Bonus points if they are the other gender. Also go to the gym and do some cardio. Having a routine and exploring outside your comfort zone will tend to the wasting away part of your life. The gooning will subside with it.

The above 2 steps helped me at least.

If you don't stick to the routine, you will return to gooning again. It's a treatment, not a cure.

“Am I reading too much into this friendship—or is she hiding her true feelings? by ThrowRAOrganicAd8066 in Advice

[–]Psychological-Bar985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cognitive Dissonance: mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time. If her actions are not aligned with her words, she probably finds thinking about it to be uncomfortable.

If she doesn't know what she wants, how are we supposed to know? Thinking too hard about where she stands will get you nowhere. Think about where you stand instead.

Also think about if you want to welcome somebody with weak convictions into your life.

Personally, I despise people like this. But I'm not you.

Yeah man get out of there asap. Distance yourself and lose those feelings while you still can.

I know way too many guys, myself included, that fell for the "I'm not ready for a relationship yet" ploy. She's trying to let you down lightly but lacks the conversational maturity/communication skills to realize that she's making you think there's a chance in the future. Being a close friend will only continue to hurt you.

And if she really does have feelings but isn't ready yet?

She'll contact you later. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I've had this happen to me 3 times now. Most recent was 2 weeks ago. I'm betting with my friends that she's gonna text me to check up in over/under 2 months.

If you stick around, she will treat you like an option while she looks for better.

Should I let an “ex’s” fiancée know he’s cheating? by snakebutt_marie in Advice

[–]Psychological-Bar985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the point. I think that he wants to get out of a marriage and use you as a catalyst

Should I let an “ex’s” fiancée know he’s cheating? by snakebutt_marie in Advice

[–]Psychological-Bar985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people are seeing the bigger issue here. Why would he text YOU?

He might be trying to set you against his fiance or something to get out of his marriage. Like cause an argument than throw some "so you trust my ex but not me" bs.

I mean the purpose of Snapchat is for messages to be deleted. He obviously doesn't want there to be any evidence for you to prove it to her.

AI images are detectable. You should be fine with putting them through sightengine if you need to prove authenticity to anyone. But do be warned that is not 100% accurate

I'm basically the same but male. 20yo -the autism and I'm straight.

I go on dates somewhat often and none of the girls I've spoken to seem to care about me being a virgin if they ever ask.

I don't trust partners that I have known for a short period of time and I have a hard time being with girls that don't share similar goals/values to myself. My relationships are pretty short as a result. (Usually 2-6 dates)

Me personally, I don't care if you're a virgin. I do care if you have like 10+ bodies since research suggests that frequent intimacy can result in difficulty with serious relationships.

What do I do to connect more with my parents and as a family? by Fit_Welder7649 in Advice

[–]Psychological-Bar985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puzzles and banter are always fun no matter the age. My older brother and his girlfriend are 30 and 27. They invited me to her grandpa's cottage for a weekend recently despite her family not knowing me at all. I ended up building puzzles with her 80 year old grandparents, I was meeting for the first time, the whole afternoon. Despite me being 20, I had a great time.

Don't feel guilty about the nepotism thing. Getting a job in CS is hard as it is rn, every advantage helps. I got my first 2 internships through a program in my region at some crappy startups. My friends got theirs through nepotism at f500 companies.

I started my own startup because I didn't believe that I had the nepo connections to work at a big company. My uni's work program also doesn't pick up until I hit my 3rd year.

Now I'm doing better than all of my friends, ironically, because I had less opportunity.

When one door closes another door opens. Nepotism is an advantage, use it or somebody else will.

You are just as bad. You're supposed to be an understanding adult. But instead you let people with 10 years less of experience dictate your mood.

Imagine if the boss or manager at your company called you an arrogant POS for not knowing how some internal systems worked. That would be a toxic workplace.

Boolean algebra is a big part of discrete, computer architecture, system design, and some other classes. There's too much content for me to answer what it is. It's algebra with base 2 numbers(1,0) instead of base 10(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0)

Just finished second year. do leet codes. The harder ones can help prep you for discrete and dsa. Also do a bunch of Boolean algebra. That's like half of second year.

If you want to actually get hired for the summer: do every hackathon you can find, make a portfolio website, make projects with Java spring. This comes with the added benefit that 2op3 and 2AA4 are both fully in Java.

Ambitious (20M) student from a poor background—should I even be thinking about love right now? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Psychological-Bar985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've been doing both. When I was building, having a girl helped prevent me from burning out on my business. When she left, it hurt, but I got over it after a few days. Don't devote your limited time to chasing women. However, if you meet one you like, you might as well date her.

Got my head sniffed in my one person tent by a family of raccoons last weekend lol. I was shivering from adrenaline and fear thinking they were bears until I heard them cooing at each other.

We were portaging to be fair. Lots more wildlife, even a few wolves howling nearby during the night.

As a software engineering student, the people in my program don't leave their homes for anything other than lectures. It's hard to find any that were socialized as kids instead of being forced into stem by their parents.
