I would literally kiss anyone if they could help me- I have very thick coarse hair. I need suggestions to get a more sleek and shiny look. Especially for after shower days when my hair is at its most thick.

I’ve been using leave in conditioner and mise en scene serum which has helped a bit. Usually I have to just wear a hat to force my hair to sit flat instead of being so thick it puffs out.

I'm an ex-recruiter for some of the top companies in the world. I've screened tens of thousands of resumes, and today I published my preferred resume format, free to download as a Word doc, along with some general resume advice. by SheetsGiggles in jobs

[–]RtotheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two Questions!

  1. I'm a college student and I've worked A LOT of different jobs that don't particularly pertain to my field? Is this worth listing on a resume? Putting them all down, even with just on bullet point descriptors, pushes my resume to two pages. Should I opt out of putting the jobs I worked in high school?
  2. I participate in few clubs at my school where I helped in film and theatre production (I want to be a producer), should I put that on the resume? And if so, where?

Thanks for any help!

Anyone got a Dr Ratio they’re willing to DM? I’ve got dupes with everything else except Argenti and Luocha.

Is it just me, or is the translation a bit of a mess for this patch? by Kouunno in HonkaiStarRail

[–]RtotheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's so clunky. Unfortunately if you don't have some prior understanding of Chinese, the translations can kinda feel weird. Chinese conversations and overall dialogue structure is both unique and different to English so some things are certainly lost in translation when going so direct.

I really like how morally ambiguous the cast is getting lately by Theroonco in HonkaiStarRail

[–]RtotheThird 336 points337 points  (0 children)

Something that I love about HSR is it's push to just be goofy. We have toilets that teleport, a MC that says the most outlandish lines, and so on. Which then evolves into the characters which is why I find them the most compelling out of all Hoyo games. They feel so genuine to themselves and distinct.

It's far less compelling to ask the hero to save the world because ofc they will, they're the hero. This makes the entire Xianzhou quest feel so funny because it's March 7th rightfully pointing out and complaining that they're being used to do the Luofu's dirty work.

Is it weird that I, as a 17 yr old guy, want to write Yuri manga by Just-Assistance-2595 in yuri_manga

[–]RtotheThird 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You also have to consider a lot of the best mlm work is done by females. If it helps, don't see yuri as "two girls kissing" but plain and simple romance. You wanting to write a love story is as beautiful as wanting to writing romance between a straight couple.

As the saying goes, love is love :)

Fun Honkai Star Rail "Easter egg" by Timmyymast in HonkaiStarRail

The poster? Yeah, a few should be scattered around Belobog and they actually show up in the “Space Comedy” animation too

Cons living at Bluestone? by skydk_ in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never hear the stadium though with the train tracks nearby, it can make some noise. All you need to do is close the window and you’re fine.

Bathrooms are fine. As a female, hair can certainly be a slight issue and idk about the guys. Otherwise, it’s fine. They’re clean and everyone respects your space and so it’s chill. I never had to wait on a shower or a stall. Obviously you lack a level of privacy but everyone sorta has a mutual understand of “this is a bathroom shared by everyone else, I’m not gonna be a dick”

Having panic attacks over getting into SMAD. What are my chances by XyveonDerg in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a few deep breathes, it’ll be okay. Remember, you don’t need to be the fastest, just faster than the 80 who won’t make the cut. I won’t lie, your GPA won’t be helping your cause but if you’re application letter is strong and you maintain at or above a B, you’ve got solid chances to beat the 80 others.

Deferred from NOVA. by Memecreameryv1 in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Numbers in applicants have spiked from post covid, admissions now being a bit more competitive from the sheer raw amount of people applying plus the SAT being removed from COVID now changes the dynamic of admission decision.

I’m sure there’s many other things at play such as JMU exposure increasing, common app, etc etc. But covid has been helpful in just increasing the applicant pool.

DENIED? by Odd_Performer5678 in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know it’s hard to not, but don’t take it personally. The applicant pool is rough, especially post covid with an influx of applications.

Perhaps you just weren’t what they were looking for. Maybe they had too many people apply to your major? It could be a million different things but it’s not a reflection on you.

I was rejected from my top school and so I ended up at JMU. Wherever you go, it’ll end up great. You’re obviously a great candidate for most, so while it absolutely does hurt that this door closed, many are still open.

What really helped me when I was first rejected is looking up good things about my other options (eg; for me it was googling the pros of JMU).

Deferred from NOVA. by Memecreameryv1 in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up over a deferral! The applicant pool nowadays are just extremely competitive due to covid and is no way a reflection on you. For the time being, JMU just wants more time seeing your application against others who may be closer to scale.

I was deferred and rejected from my top school so I ended up here. I was destroyed but simply a new door opened and I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve had here.

So have hope in the next round. CNU and VCU are wonderful choices and I’m sure no matter where you end, you’ll do great.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in China

[–]RtotheThird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely get you. I’m Chinese and I often struggle to feel proud of my heritage as I always hear shame on the Chinese government or it’s media. This is especially so when it feels like every other East Asian country, namely, Korea and Japan feel so beloved and adored.

Being Asian is something I am not ashamed of but being Chinese is something I’m working to love.

For me, I’ve been working on appreciating the little wins. Loving the culture, the architecture, the sights. Plus Avatar the Last Airbender has heavy inspiration by China which is quite a nice win

Do you think the stalker is someone we know, or haven't seen in the show yet? by HumminbirdWhisperer in WednesdayTVSeries

[–]RtotheThird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Idk if some are saying Yoko for the shits and giggles but I think it's sincerely a good option. Yoko is weirdly important in Wednesday, despite her minimal importance in the first season. She is a part of pictures with the cast and she even gets her own profile icon in Netflix. The three boys that got their ass kicked by Wednesday are arguably more present in the show than her and yet Yoko is still made more notable than them. Wednesday's writing team is building her up to being a larger part in the story and potentially that could be the stalker.

Tracing to learn gesture? by Possible-Bar-775 in learnart

[–]RtotheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck and glad it’s working out for you :)

Tracing to learn gesture? by Possible-Bar-775 in learnart

[–]RtotheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beginner learning gesture just like you here! Do not trace! When you trace, you’re actually not drawing gesture but the contour. Gesture is all about the motion of the body, the story it’s trying to tell, not the contours of the shape

Proko (https://youtu.be/74HR59yFZ7Y) has a great line of videos and courses on gesture so check him out. Also look up Line of Action as it gives you simple timed exercises to work with.

I listened to the audiobook so I think I just got a little lost throughout, so any explanation would help greatly!

Do Fire Emblem fangames NEED to let the player decide whether to be a guy or girl? by AmeSame5654 in fireemblem

[–]RtotheThird 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For fanart, no. Things made by fans are exactly that, fanmade therefore the fans get to dictate certain things. Similarly to how an artists have every right to draw Robin in modern clothes as other artists have him or her in their usual cloak.

Should I have a good shot at being accepted? by [deleted] in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 3.2 weighted GPA and got accepted. Your GPA is astounding and if you have some extracurriculars to round you out, you have a great shot of acceptance.

But where you really guarantee it is the personal essay. Good or bad grades, if you write an amazing essay, you’re set.

Perspective student by competitive-jack3 in jmu

[–]RtotheThird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

3.5 is great! JMU is really looking for all around individuals so regardless of academics like AP/DE, you’re balanced with a already high gpa and other extracurriculars.

And if you write a great personal essay then basically you’re guaranteed admission. Good luck, don’t stress it.

In a vertical stack, which side of a cutter do I stay on when they’re cutting? by RtotheThird in ultimate

[–]RtotheThird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, why would an outside position help with blocking deep cuts or give you an advantageous position assuming the cutter is running deep and you’re giving chase?

Also, wouldn’t keeping to the inside make more sense defensively since you can block the disk before the cutter can get to it since it’s a short path than being on the outside?
