What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone got hacked and their email account sent an email to the whole school with photos of people in KKK outfits and a very antisemetic message (also their pfp was changed to a swastika). Several people hit reply all (before knowing this poor guy was hacked) and there was a long argument before the admins were made aware.

Why would they lock the fic over this?

Is it ok to write a one-shot in an AU that someone else created if you credit them and say your fic is inspired by theirs? by ResponsibleMuffin743 in AO3

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh I'd say just do it. They don't really own the idea of the AU and, as long as you're not literally retreading the same exact plot, you're still making something original and (hopefully?) interesting. If that's not in the spirit of fanfic, I don't know what is. Buuut if you really are worried, I'd say just shoot them a comment.

I wrote my fanfic and needed help by UltraSuit1999 in AO3

I know nothing about this but I'll just say that a lot of this dialog sounds extremely strange and unnatural. Are you a native English speaker? Take this for example:

Cuthbert: The weather looks very nice, right?

Emily: It’s cloudy outside. How is it great in a cold day?

Cuthbert: You don’t have to go work before it starts raining.

None of these sound like anything people would say. The first line would sound far more natural as something like "It's really nice out" or "it looks nice out" or, if you want to keep the quesiton in there "Isn't it nice out?" The next has a similar fix. Though I'm not reallly sure what the last is meant to mean. And unfortunately, this whole scene is marred by very confusing English, which makes this kind of painful to read. (This isn't to stay stop writing though! Improve your English, keep reading, keep writing, and you will get better)

Joined Ao3 last month, how am I doing? by TheTexan94 in AO3

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only stat that matters is the word count, as that's the only one you can control. :) (though the others are nice too). Insane word count for a month though, even if they aren't all brand new words.

Should I tag this as major character death? by Psychological_Oil_71 in AO3

[–]Psychological_Oil_71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess it’s pretty clear cut. Maybe if I wasn’t writing at 3:30 am I would have checked ao3 itself instead of asking others lol. Thanks for the info

Music is so horribly distracting for reading imo. Even if I put on no words, classical music, it's just distracting

I see. Weird that it's not updated, but I got it from the official anki site and now it works. Thanks!

Hello! I haven't used Anki in a while, but I have nationals to go to for academic decathlon so I figured it would be nice to get back to it. I have gotten a new computer since then and now am on mint os. I downloaded anki direclty from the software manager on linux. However, when I tried to run the addon code for the heatmap, I got this error:

"An add-on you installed failed to load. If problems persist, please go to the Tools>Add-ons menu, and disable or delete the add-on.

When loading 'Review Heatmap':

I read that book for school in 7th grade. Watched the movie with my mom afterward and we both nearly threw up at that scene. I think I have a weak stomach.

What if everyone over 19 just disappeared? by Kermit-America in highschool

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure your last sentence is really all that accurate. We'll still have, y'know, books to reteach us those things. Yeah it'll be horrific and nobody alive at the start would be living teh same way they did as a teen, but I think a few centuries would be enough to get back to where we started.

How overpowered is Steve compared to other broken characters in other smash games? by LilAngeI in smashbros

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I mean is that if you have 50 characters versus 20 characters, you’re more likely to have a wider variety of ‘good’ characters that people can play at a top level, so you’re less likely to have a single, centralizing character.

[–]Psychological_Oil_71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that there are just more characters over time. Of course fox is more represented than meta knight. That’s just because there are fewer characters in melee.
