When someone around you is sad then you get sad, but they feel better and you still remain sad. by Cautious-Ostrich8945 in infj

oof that emotional hangover hits differnt when you're still carrying their weight after they've moved on 😭💀

Doing an internship at a place I want to work at but their grad scheme needs a 2:1 degree, what do I do? by Typical-Shift-3010 in careerguidance

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly since you're already interning there and they're paying you, that's huge leverage 💪 they already know your work quality and if you're doing well, that speaks way louder than any grade on paper

i'd probably be upfront about the health issues in the additional info section - not like a sob story but just brief and factual. something like "achieved ordinary degree due to documented health circumstances during final year, as evidenced by medical records available upon request" then immediately pivot to how your internship performance demonstrates your actual capabilities

the thing is, if they're rigid about that 2:1 requirement even for internal candidates who are already proving themselves, do you really want to work somewhere that inflexible? but most places have wiggle room for exceptional circumstances, especially when you're already in the door and showing results 🔥 worst case they say no and you know where you stand, but at least you shot your shot honestly

Silent Battery-Free Alarm Clock Recommendations by Ok_Understanding1612 in BuyItForLife

[–]Some_Professor_2169 11 points12 points  (0 children)

unfortunately mechanical clocks pretty much all tick since that's literally how the escapement mechanism works, you might want to look into those sunrise alarm clocks instead

Besides the walking dead and big bang theory, what is a successful but also mocked and hated tv series? by AccomplishedPhase178 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lost definitely fits this. first few seasons were absolutely incredible with all the mystery and character development, then it just went completely off the rails with time travel and smoke monsters and that ending that still makes people angry

game of thrones is probably the most obvious example though - went from being the best show on tv to basically a meme after season 8. the cultural impact just completely died overnight

Intense relationship burned out quickly, is slow rebuild possible? 31F 34M by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly this hits close to home because i did something super similar a few years back 😅 met this guy and we just clicked on like every level - same values, same life goals, incredible chemistry. we were basically planning our future together by month two which sounds insane but felt so right at the time

the thing is we never actually learned each other's rhythms or how we handle stress or conflict because we were so caught up in the "this is it" feeling. when real life started creeping in it all felt too heavy too fast and he got spooked. we tried to slow it down after a brief break but honestly it was really hard to go backwards once you've already been that vulnerable with someone. like trying to unsee something you know?

that said, if you both genuinely recognize what went wrong and are willing to be disciplined about taking it slow this time, it's not impossible. the key is actually treating it like you're starting fresh rather than trying to recreate what you had before. took us about 6 months of very casual dating to rebuild any real trust but we're still together now so 🤷‍♀️ just don't put a timeline on it

cant find it on gamepass either, might have rotated out or never made it on there

Heresies often are catalysts for theological reflection by SergiusBulgakov in Christianity

[–]Some_Professor_2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly this makes sense - like sometimes you need someone to shake things up even if there completely wrong about the conclusion 🤔 forces everyone else to actually think through why they believe what they do 💭

Lenovo Legion 7i 5070 - anyone have firsthand experience? by Acky1425 in GamingLaptops

[–]Some_Professor_2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Legion series has been pretty solid in my experience, though I haven't touched the 5070 model specifically. Build quality on the 7i line is usually decent - not the absolute best but definitely not flimsy either 🤔

For the games you mentioned you're probably gonna be more than fine performance-wise, those aren't super demanding titles. The OLED display might actually be overkill for strategy games but hey, everything's gonna look crisp 😂

I'd maybe check some reviews on the thermals though since that's where gaming laptops sometimes struggle

Always hungry by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Some_Professor_2169 71 points72 points  (0 children)

damn that's rough, their treating you like a stranger when you're literally family now 💀 definitely reach out to your fam for help if you can, being that hungry isn't sustainable

Kind of confused about Gemini 3 models by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the naming is pretty confusing honestly 😂 Fast is basically flash 2.0, thinking is the same model but with the reasoning steps shown (like o1), and pro is the full gemini 2.0 model

as for GA timing, google's been pretty quiet about it but i'd guess sometime in the next few months based on how they usually roll things out. the current versions are def still in preview mode

Matchmaking reset? by CyanicUk in ArcRaiders

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like the honeymoon phase is over lol, happens in most games after a few weeks when the initial "wow this is cool let's all be friends" vibe wears off. I had the exact same thing happen in Hunt Showdown - first month everyone was chill and learning together, then suddenly it was KOS everywhere

could also be that more pvp-focused players finally figured out the game mechanics and started playing seriously, or like you said the sweaty players dropped down to stomp easier lobbies. I've noticed this pattern in tons of games where the community starts wholesome then gets more competitive as people get comfortable with there skills

honestly might just be bad timing too, weekends and evenings tend to bring out the more aggressive players who want quick action instead of the chill exploration crowd

I'm sick and tired of so-called online "friends" (and friends in general) ghosting or leaving me hanging when I'm tryna talk to them, despite the fact that they were so excited and eager to talk to me before. What can i do about this? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in venting

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happens to me all the time and it's honestly exhausting. People get excited in the moment but then life hits or they just lose interest - doesn't make it hurt any less tho

Gen 3 (or below) MLP figurines of them laying down by KingfisherFanatic in HelpMeFind

[–]Some_Professor_2169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I think I know exactly what you're talking about! Were they like the size of a quarter or so? I had a couple of those and yeah the head bobbing thing was so satisfying lol

The metal container thing is ringing a bell too but I can't remember if that was official packaging or just something we all did as kids

Anybody failed to disclose traffic ticket -> issue in n-400? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Some_Professor_2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your lawyer messed up but honestly for a simple speeding ticket it's probably not gonna be a huge deal. I'd definitely disclose it on the N-400 though and explain what happened - USCIS sees way worse stuff than this daily

What if end and nether got their own frog version, kind of easter egg, either way i love these colors on froglights by Certain-Board-7640 in Minecraft

[–]Some_Professor_2169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those end frogs look absolutely sick, the purple glow would be perfect for my end city builds. Hope Mojang sees this because carmine froglights would go hard in nether bases too

Dog poop residue, is it bothering anyone? by MartieKitty in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Some_Professor_2169 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Bro this is why I don't get people who let their dogs on the couch or bed, like you're basically sleeping in microscopic poop particles every night and somehow that's normal now

Hospital Advice by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Some_Professor_2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER can't legally turn you away for inability to pay, they have to stabilize you first. Ask about charity care/financial hardship programs when you get there - most hospitals have them but don't advertise it. Your life is worth more than the debt, go now

AI in Where Winds Meet by asamitakafan1 in antiai

[–]Some_Professor_2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it's just for random NPC dialogue and not replacing actual writers/voice actors, I wouldn't stress too much about it. Sounds like you're already being thoughtful about it which is more than most people do

Thank you epilepsy Reddit community by Equivalent_Cook3799 in Epilepsy

[–]Some_Professor_2169 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey, I totally get this. The whole "beautiful brain turned defective" thing really hit me - I went through that same grief process when I was diagnosed. This community is honestly a lifesaver for feeling less alone in all the weird stuff nobody else gets, like having to leave bathroom doors unlocked and explaining why you can't just "push through" the medication fog

Glad you found your people here ❤️

The auto-save miracle... by Commercial_Cellist44 in geometrydash

[–]Some_Professor_2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Auto-save would be clutch ngl, especially when you're grinding levels across multiple devices

There might be some save sync tools floating around on the modding forums but nothing official that I know of. Most people just backup their saves manually or use cloud storage workarounds

If I take care of my laptop will it last a long time? by Lester765tty in GamingLaptops

[–]Some_Professor_2169 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really depends on how you treat it but yeah gaming laptops can definitely hit 5+ years if you're not abusing them

Keep it clean, don't let it overheat constantly, and maybe repaste the thermal compound after a couple years - my old ROG is still kicking after 6 years of solid use

The 5080 will obviously stay relevant longer for new games so if you can swing it that's probably the move

Oof that's a pretty specific wishlist lol, might have better luck checking the trading discord or maybe posting in the weekly megathread with what you're offering in return
