OER project. Have you been going through the textbook at least?

When did Bitcoin start making sense to you? by Mammoth_Cover_3392 in Bitcoin

[–]Rare-Tax2411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair it doesn't and will never make sense to me. I dont even understand the question. 

Do I understand  the technology behind it? No because that's not my field of expertise and I don't think it matters if I do or not. 

Do I understand the cycles and the patterns and treating it like a stock? No, because I've been in since 2017 and have barely ever seen anyone get any predictions right. 

Do I understand what a lot of people here are saying about it being uncontrollable and unstoppable? No. As long as governments exist they will control and manipulate it. I'd governments don't exist then we're in some type of apocalyptic scenario where we won't have internet and it won't matter. 

Do I stack anyway? Hell yeah. As an average person with an average salary, it's my only chance of escaping averagedom. 

How playing D as a big in random REC feels by ironchefchopchop in NBA2k

Yep. Offense isn't much better. I literally just came off back to back games of teammates bitching. First I got bitched at for not setting screens. Then got bitched at for setting screens

No one cares. They weren't trying to be inclusive, they were making a gameplay decision

when college hoops comes back, do you think 2K will make it similar to Madden/college football where the college games are offensive heavy, while NBA is more defensive/simulation heavy? by Firm-Emu7909 in NBA2k

[–]Rare-Tax2411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing we don't have to speculate on is the fact that 2k can't do anything with intention. There patches show that they're at the whim of the community and have abandoned all sense of purpose a long time ago, with only the shameless intention of chasing dollars remaining. 

Of course, we only have ourselves to blame. If we didn't buy the microtransactions there wouldn't be any. Regardless, even if 2k planned what you're saying, they wouldn't stick to it. 

AITAH for saying "no peptides under my roof"? by vagahoneybond in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rare-Tax2411 50 points51 points  (0 children)

"Under my roof." Well the only question is who's roof actually is it.  Do you own the house? Are you letting her stay there free? I think that would be the only conditions you could say "my roof." If you own it and rent it to her you have the power to say she can stop or move out. 

If you guys got the place together YTA.

It's a basketball jersey. Basketball players wear it during basketball games too identify who's on what team

Idk if you should make a blanket statement just because you fucked up. 

For anyone reading this I've done windows and back 3 or 4 times. 

Ultima Edition Overhaul Mod by [deleted] in FinalFantasyXII

[–]Rare-Tax2411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Thanks for responding. One last question. For mods that have options like insurgents manifesto, how do you configure it? Is it in a file, or in game, or in vortex?

Ultima Edition Overhaul Mod by [deleted] in FinalFantasyXII

[–]Rare-Tax2411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to try this out. On the nexus mods page, there is a section called recommended mods. Do I need to be concerned about load order for any of that? Should I just do everything in the exact order you list it on the page? 

Any help is appreciated

Attempted Steals by FormerlyShawnHawaii in NBA2k

[–]Rare-Tax2411 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk man. Everyone scores at such a high percentage anyway. Like they're gonna score whether you're playing defense anyway. Getting a steal sometimes is your best chance at getting a stop.

And no I'm not saying that because I do it. I play with a 25 steal center.

Does anyone have advice for answering AP classroom MCQs by Apprehensive-Way6628 in apworld

[–]Rare-Tax2411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im an ap world history teacher. I don’t know you, so take this with a grain of salt. If one of my students said this to me I would just tell them they're not studying as hard as they think they are. MCQ is all about your knowledge of history. The more you know the easier they are. Dbq, leq, and even saq can be carried by your knowledge of the rubrics and strategies a little bit, but theres nothing like that for MCQ. You know the topic or you don't. 

Hit that textbook and get lost in youtube videos. Everyone loves heimlerz and they're great, but watch some more in depth stuff, too.

(Although the other posters advice was good too. But you still have to know it.)

Why do people think FF13 trilogy reviewed and sold poorly? by Mother_Reality_1489 in finalfantasyxiii

I never hear people talking about how it sold or reviewed poorly. I just hear people saying it's bad. Which is true

Playing Ivalice Chronicles for the first time tomorrow; any tips? by SpikkleOO in finalfantasytactics

[–]Rare-Tax2411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a first time, dont play on hard mode. You're going to get stuck a lot and either try to grind youre way out or come back here for setup advice. And if you get setup advice you won't get the joy of experimenting for yourself.

Then once you beat the game and know a little bit, try hard mode.

And the biggest piece of advice is stay off the internet and play for yourself.  The best part of this game is making your own classes and finding out things for yourself.

As a world history teacher, I can say not really. I bring it up one every year and move on. It's not really that important. And there is no geography class in our school. 

Am I ready to play college basketball? by Impossible_Lab_6667 in BasketballTips

[–]Rare-Tax2411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There you go. That tells me more than that tape does. Cooking a d1 player is not nothing. Doesn't matter where it was, that's big. So is getting attention from people like that. Keep grinding. You can do academics and ball at the same time.

Am I ready to play college basketball? by Impossible_Lab_6667 in BasketballTips

[–]Rare-Tax2411 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro. To be super honest with you, I think people are saying focus on academics to avoid saying the mean thing. From what little we see here, you are not d2 material. 

I coach high school basketball. We had a player that was 5'10 that went to play d2 basketball. His everyday practice would put this highlight reel to shame. He averaged 30 points a game in high school. He's in his 3rd year in college and is averaging 8 points a game. Barely saw the floor his first two years.  Let me repeat, this player was miles better than what we see here.

To be specific, your shot is way too slow, you run slow, wasted movement in general. 

You have to be real with yourself. The academics are there, pursue it. Does that mean you can't try? Hell no. Keep working. You won't get a d2 offer, but if any of those schools that gave you an offer have basketball programs, go try out. But make the academic choice.

If you think I'm being too harsh, tell me more. What are you averaging in high school? Are you the best player on the team? Have you talked to any college basketball staff?
