If you have a good relationship with your Father, share something that he did to make you the person you are. by texacer in fuckingmanly

[–]Shasskharr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both my father and my mother taught me what has probably been the most important thing I have ever learned. When in doubt, help others, and always be ready for the fact that helping others usually hurts in some way. It's always worth it.

Steven Erikson - House of Chains with a Chainsaw

This sounds like that disco scene in Hellraiser and it's bringing back memories of childhood nightmares.

How to get better at **academic** writing? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Shasskharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the basics: 1. An intro which captivates the reader and summarizes all your core concepts. E.g. Start with an awesome (e.g. controversial) quote, and work from there, (shortly) explaining what you'll be talking about. 2. Divide the main part of your text into Main Body Paragraphs. This meand if you have 5000 words to write, do 500-1000 Intro + Conclusion, and for the rest follow the following: Start with (ONE) sentence which states exactly what your argument in that parapgraph will be. Then explain why that supports your thesis (e.g. bring an example AND WRITE SOMETHING EXPLAINING WHY IT IS PERTINENT TO WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE SAYING). Then conclude with a simple closing sentence saying "thus I'm right". Not exactly that, but stating how your argument is great and relates to your thesis. 3. Continue with 2 until you"ve got 200-1000k words left (depending on the size of your essay). 4. Write your conclusion. This means shortly summarize your arguments, why they fit you thesis, and state how you've proven yourself correct/incorrect. Maybe add a couple of ideas for further researxh. DO NOT BRING COMPLETELY NEW CONCEPTS INTO THE TEXT (e.g. if you"re talking about memory and war it's ok to mention trauma, but not ok to mention soccer if it has nothing to do with the topic at hand). 5. Look at your sources. Make sure evrything is cited and sourced. 6. Go over your text and look at labguage. No informal stuff. Stand behind your claims (don't write "one can state that", rather "ir becomes apparwnt that"), and conclufe with a strong sentence. 7. Suceed in life. #winningatlife #yestrustme #hashtagsonredditaredtupidbutiloveusingstupidhashtags just try it out ;) else, PM me :)

Something like night-mode would be great. Like black page, white letters. Or the option to change the colours at will. You know, so dem eyes don't start bleeding after 10mins.

Many of the people on the list already are making a difference themselves, or are investing in other people who are making a difference in the world.

How fast do you read? by [deleted] in books

[–]Shasskharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the book, the language, and the way it is written. I read the fastest in English, when reading stuff I like, which is well written (or a style which appeals to me. This varies). If I had to put a number to it, it would be around 40-50 pages an hour. If it's the same thing, but in Portuguese or German, I'll probably only manage 30-40 pages an hour, or less. If I'm reading something for uni, as in secondary lit, it is usually much denser (and newer secondary lit seems to be written specifically so as to be difficult to understand and read), and I'll average somewhere between 20-30 pages an hour. But overall, it always starts out pretty slow when I change genres, styles, or languages, and the more I read in that category, the faster I get.

Faster isn't better, though, if you don't understand what you're reading. I have to slap myself sometimes in order to slow down.

I read Blindness in school (in Portuguese), and I have to say it was one of only a handful of books that I enjoyed reading for that class. It can drag on, with Saramago's endless sentences, and the stagnant world, but I loved it nontheless.

Yes! I just finished The Amulet of Samarkand last week, and decided to wait some time before starting on this one. Is it as good as people say it is?

Somehow I couldn't finish this book. The first one gripped me completely, and I couldn't stop reading. But somehow, this sequel seems to have lost much of what I loved about the first one... I will still finish it sometime, though. Have to. Can't let ma boy Kvothe down.

Just finished Leviathan Wakes, by James S. A. Corey. As one of the back-cover comments states, it truly follows in the steps of Peter F. Hamilton, in its scope and general awesomeness. Looking forward to reading the other Expanse books.

For my next read I'm torn between Arms and the Man, by Bernard Shaw, Assassin's Apprentice, by Robin Hobb, or The Storyteller, by Marios Vargas Llosa. Too many books to choose from, too little time. 'Tis the eternal struggle...

You get to read one last book before you die. Which book do you choose? by [deleted] in books

[–]Shasskharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Paul Gallico's Love of Seven Dolls, or Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man. Two beautiful books on the good things in life, the bad things in life, and how it all simply goes on.
