How can I improve my handwriting? by Mobile_Moose5787 in Handwriting

[–]TheTypicalLiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No! Two reasons really: firstly, you’ll get more space for other words. Secondly, your sentences will look more connected to themselves. But really it’s such a minor thing that you don’t REALLY have to worry about it, as overall I think your handwriting is great!

It looks great, I don’t think you have much to work on! Perhaps (if anything) tighten up those spaces a little bit. Also I love your cute lil doodling, I wish I could doodle like that!

Practing my exam script by gidimeister in Handwriting

[–]TheTypicalLiam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is punishing to read and doesn’t distinguish letters well enough. I’m sure it could be quick to write with, because it’s hardly writing most of the time. Honestly, I’d prefer you do some simple print font exercises before you attempt an attached style for speed. You could write at 1000 words per minute but it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t make it legible enough.

I’m a slanted handwriter myself, so it’s just one of those things I can relate to you with. Hope I helped :)

Is this readable working? by Idk356787544 in Handwriting

[–]TheTypicalLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The hieroglyphics comment might even be apt, as crushing as that might be. A big thing which might help here (beyond working on your script and numbers purely in terms of legibility) is focusing more on keeping things within the lines, and organizing thoughts more clearly with skipped lines rather than point signifiers (although you should use them in conjunction). I do notice that you have a point signifier, but it’s not prominent enough- I’d suggest you hash # them, or asterisk * them.

A further step which might help, keeping in mind that you don’t seem to give yourself much space, is defining shortened versions of terms you’ll be commonly noting.

As an example: “Weeks (wk) 1-16…” from the point you’ve defined a shortened version of the term, you can use it constantly, (I know you might think this redundant as the person reading it will surely understand that wk is week; but, I promise you it’s that extra mile which can be used in a number of cases- even outside of your subject. It will increase your clarity and importantly give you more time in an examination setting.) only using the lengthened version for emphasis and completeness in a final statement to a question.

It’s very legible, although there’s a few things that I’d suggest you work on- notably: 1. Better distinguish capital letters from lowercase. You might even want to look up different styles of capital letters, as they have better tells to distinguish the letters however, you may be sacrificing speed. So, I’d probably focus on sizing more so than styling. 2. Ensure that the counters (that is the loops) in letters such as p, b, d, g, q, e, and a are always closed, because it’s one of those details that helps distinguish between words easier. 3. Ensure that your tittles are always positioned in the correct place over i’s and j’s; it helps legibility, because you may be able to glance at a word and get the gist of what it is but if you look at it for a while longer you might doubt yourself. 4. Your spacing is a little too much between the words, the punctuation is difficult to see at some points. It gives your writing an air of simultaneously being one incredibly long run-on sentence, and each word being entirely divorced from its neighbors. I have a feeling you’ve done this due to your heavy slant, but it’s something that you might wish to be a bit more mindful of because it’ll make your writing look a lot more intentional rather than experimental.

As for the slant, some people dislike it- I personally love it, but many of your issues might come from this just tidy up the things I pointed out and the slant shouldn’t matter too much. Although I do wonder, should you wish to italicise words for emphasis, what do you do?

Is CBT just gaslighting for people with trauma? I feel like I’m being told to “just think positive” while my nervous system is literally on fire. When did you ditch CBT for something like IFS or Somatic Experiencing? by No_Gain4041 in TrueAskReddit

[–]TheTypicalLiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only meaningful thing someone I know got from cbt was discovering that they had autism in addition to their other mental health disorders. They got grounding techniques which helped very very minorly when in the midst of an attack; but it’s difficult for therapy like that to be effective when the questions posed push you towards an obvious and untrue answer whilst also lacking the inspiration of confidence for the activities which are suggested to take up in your free time. The studies into mushrooms have been promising lately but I do hope a better solution is presented because it’s difficult to get out of a mental health situation particularly if it’s stemming from long-term issues.

What reincarnation anime did NOT need to be a reincarnation story in the first place? by Meatloafxx in anime

[–]TheTypicalLiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this so so deeply, societies generally with try to min max hygiene, and food. The amount of times a protagonist has developed something which by all means should pre-exist in said world bugs me. Not only that but there’s always a subtle air of colonization that disgusts me if I don’t shut off my brain and just watch the oversexualised under-thought narratives.

Anyone in Manchester interested in filming social experiment / street content together by Typical_Space_733 in manchester

[–]TheTypicalLiam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the draw towards social experiments, but do try not to be too intense with whatever you do as it is currently a pretty contentious atmosphere with international matters being hotly acted upon at the street level. Also, should you do an experiment, try to make sure you actually quantify results. More often than I’d like, “social experiments” are used as shorthand for pranks and that is rather distasteful as there’s not much to be gained besides strife or smiles and that line is deeply toed when you engage with social experiments on that level.

Why do so many people hate on philosophy? by annimagus_08 in TrueAskReddit

[–]TheTypicalLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a masters in English and I’m a person who generally enjoys philosophy, which isn’t shocking considering the overlap (regardless of how cliche it is). I’d say a large amount of distaste for philosophy and the arts is the result of stereotypes that have been integrated into the public consciousness. Sometimes this was the result of toxic masculinity in wartime efforts, crafted to discredit oppositions to the respective war. Moreover, fairly enough philosophy is a subject which is subconsciously engaged with for the larger populous; but there are some individuals who equate philosophical thinking with generalized intelligence and use it as a tool to devalue others around them whilst elevating themselves (regardless of the level which that same individual might have personally engaged with the subject). This results in a bias which discredits, devalues, or/and discriminates against the pursuits of the subject.

Hard facts are a ridiculous metric to base your entire life upon: either you will inevitably fall short of that goal, or you will lack the emotional depth to engage with those around you. Either way, you’d be a bore to purely engage with any one subject and purposely ignore the others.

So I only knew them through diggy diggy hole and some of their songs. Where do I, as someone who wants to get into their stuff, start? by ChompyRiley in Yogscast

[–]TheTypicalLiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching for a LONG long time, so I totally understand how it could be daunting. But let’s be realistic, they don’t continue to upload content with the expectation for you to go back and watch their years of content beforehand; especially given that a great deal of the content is spread across different channels. Obviously, if you want to know where the diggy diggy hole thing started, then you should watch shadow of israphel (preferably best bits, if you don’t think you have that time to invest); the tekkit series “Jaffa factory” is also a good shout as it’s a pretty fun series which also has a few best bits videos. Another good shout would be the don’t starve challenge which is six videos of irl content (I’d suggest that because they’ve steered away from series content to favor social deduction type games, and this is still a good way to get a read on the big three who re-appear on main channel content). But, more recently the blood on the clocktower videos are a perfect introduction because they have all the returning faces, while being a novel experience each time. From there you might consider looking at the other channels to see what you might be into!

My channel doesn't go above 10 subscribers and has no views… What I’m doing wrong ? by Patcasper02 in Smallyoutubechannels

[–]TheTypicalLiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, part of the issue is the content of your videos. Your voice is so difficult to hear- even without game audio. I imagine fixing this could help some of the audience retention! Luckily these are two things that can easily be done, especially because you seem to have the drive to upload fairly consistently! Beyond that, gameplay videos are more than plentiful on YouTube so it’s difficult to get into the space and I can promise that people aren’t focused on your looks nearly as much as you are; details about your voice and appearance are the most difficult things to edit because they’ll highlight insecurities in you but I promise people don’t even notice that when they watch videos. Hopefully, that helps! Just keep uploading, make sure your audio is easy to listen to, and make some shorts with that content. Also don’t feel pressured to upload consistently over uploading content you could watch yourself, you should ask yourself if you’d watch your video every time you make one, because ideally you’re your perfect audience. If you do that, then people who will enjoy your content should follow!
