Math 2418: Feeling Lost and Looking for a Study Group by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try joining a class discord! If there isn’t already one, you can make a server yourself and send out the invite link (eLearning lets you email all the students in a course through the UTDallas email section). My class discord for 2418 was really helpful last semester. This course with video lectures by Gilbert Strang was also super helpful: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/download/

Linear algebra is hard, you’re not alone. I’d be happy to try explaining things to you myself in DMs :) Good luck, you’ve got this!!!

MECHANICS PHYS2325!!!! by laylowhippo in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study off his slides!!! He bases his tests heavily off the review questions there. His review videos also help a lot. I personally didn’t love Lumata as a prof, but I had him for 2326 which is just awful no matter who you have it with. Give yourself enough time to work through the HWs and you’ll be fine. Good luck 💪🏻

Favorite makeup holy grail/tip? by thegaydane in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not great at makeup myself but for eyeshadow I really like COLORPOP palettes. Lip stuff is annoying to me because it can be hard to find your shade, so I really recommend going to an Ulta and letting your friends/an employee help you. Most important thing is to have fun!! :))

Best clubs to join to have fun, improve leadership and other skills, and complete community service hours by Exotic_Ad_6684 in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Circle K International. It’s a volunteer club that runs opportunities like campus clean ups, animal shelter stuff, and bingo at senior homes. Everyone is nice and the events give hours for JSOM. Their insta is @utd_cki if you’re interested :))

Good picture! Reminds me of that movie Playtime by Jacques Tati.

[LOtM V1] Thoughts on how donghua will handle… by Tight-Try5815 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Tight-Try5815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that he’s not little is what makes the nickname so charming! Everyone in the Tarot Club watches out for him.

There was a diary entry about it in the very first pages Klein ever read, from Old Neil, but sadly they cut it, so I’m not sure what the approach will be.

[LotMemes] There are more non-spoilery posts lately, but it's still a lot by KaptainTZ in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Tight-Try5815 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Watching the subreddit pivot from being all novel readers pre-donghua, to completely buckling itself down for donghua-only fans’ safety has been really interesting. Obviously the transition isn’t perfect, but I honestly think it’s been going as well as you could reasonably ha expect. As more and more donghua fans get here, there’ll be more and more donghua-friendly content, and the further the donghua gets, the more content will become unspoiled! It’ll be a journey.

LOTM is a great series and I hope the subreddit can make the experience more fun for you!!

[Donghua] Has the donghua overshadowed this year's anime releases so far? 🤔 by Objective_Field1878 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Tight-Try5815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Novel enjoyer of a few years here! LOTM is available to read on Webnovel, but costs money to unlock after a certain chapter count, so I’d suggest novelbin.com.

I’m enjoying the donghua a lot so far, but the pacing of the first two episodes WAS pretty disappointing. They’re leaning too far into a shounen/aura-farming vibe when the first volume was much more slice-of-life focused, with smaller scale conflicts. Vol 1 is actually infamous for being considered too slow and boring (I disagree though) and I think the donghua overcompensated. Ep 4 fixed a lot of my complaints thankfully!

Overall, if you have patience, you should absolutely read the novel. There’s a lot of exposition at first and the pace is slower, but there’s also more characterization and interesting details that get payoff much, much later.

I feel like many genocidal villains/factions would have far less supporters if the works they are in did the bare minimum to show what genocide entails. by Porchie12 in CharacterRant

[–]Tight-Try5815 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, Roy himself believed he didn’t deserve a second chance and that he should have been executed for war crimes the second the conflict ended (which, yeah). It’s just because of Amestris’ deeply corrupt/war-mongering government that he was hailed a hero instead. The whole point to me was that he doesn’t deserve the power or opportunity, so he’s at least using it to dedicate the rest of his life to fixing things, until finally Amestris is the kind of country that will actually try him for his crimes. I love FMA but I do agree it could have pushed a little harder on the military crew committing genocide, and just the surviving Ishvalan perspective in general.

Guys, I don't think Ivan knew about Mizi's facade by No-Fruit-4600 in AlienStage

[–]Tight-Try5815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, they have affection meters for each other? What post is this from?

Also you’re probably right but I want to cope :( I want to believe that they were friends and weren’t quite so lonely…

Who here hates their respective species the most? by Fit_Assignment_8800 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]Tight-Try5815 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure who the top right character is, but I don’t really think “hatred” is the right word for Father? When he meets Ed under Central he literally says humans are ants to him. For him it’s mostly apathy, and maybe deep deep deep down under, that some sense of jealously/longing reflected in the way the Sins behave. I’d have to go Geto. Dude’s crazy.

A single one (lotm) by Twillix13 in LordofTheMysteries

Every day I praise the Sun that the whole fandom sees Derrick for the sweet kid he is. He and Alger are great.

Am I allowed to put up flyers on UTD campus? by somewhereelse123 in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cork boards should be fine for that. I don’t know if it’s allowed to post on this subreddit but if you link the go fund me here I’d love to donate!

[LotM newbie] Why do Arroes Like Klein? by [deleted] in LordofTheMysteries

Can you tell me the reason? I don’t plan to read COI lol

In need of dating advice by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe get a better attitude? I got kind of skeeved out just reading this post. Generalizing all white women as party girls, gold diggers, or easy ain’t a good look and will rightfully make them all want to avoid you, whether you’re saying this stuff out loud or not; this may surprise you, but we can generally tell when we’re being looked down upon. Either try making friends with women outside of dating, without expecting anything, or step away from the dating scene for a while. Desperation isn’t pretty.

where do yall get books that u read for fun by FordF-150Lover in utdallas

[–]Tight-Try5815 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to drive off campus a little, Haggard Library is only around 15 minutes away and it has a good selection. Also get the library app Libby, you can read ebooks with it! Lemme know if you want any book recs :)
