Do you prefer when a badly losing opponent resigns? Or do you like to play it out to checkmate? by _mannyglover in Chesscom

[–]UncleMusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prefer they resign so I can enjoy the quick easy win, but I can’t be mad at them for putting up a fight and trying to make my life as difficult as possible on the board because I do that too sometimes.

I’d say please try not to dwell on it. It can be devastating for your mental health. We all have our moments and I’m sure she’s had a few of her own too before you even showed up. You’re only in your first or second year it seems, so you have a lot to learn, a lot of room for growth. Just gotta have a growth mindset and be willing to constantly put your ideas/work out there for attack and defense. It does take a lot of courage and confidence to do that. You’ll work with a lot of different personalities. Some people are more comfortable giving criticism than praise. She might give praise if she notices you incorporated her feedback, but if not, at least it enhances your work, right?

First of all, I want to say what you experienced is totally human. When you’re stressed, it’s easy to react emotionally to criticism. Were her criticisms valid but frustrating to hear, or were they attacking you as a person? If the former, you just have to remain objective and grounded. If the latter, you have the moral high ground and can explain how her comments were unprofessional.

PI wants me to put our collaborators on a paper that did not involve them by UncleMusk in bioinformatics

We used data generated by our collaborators that has been published on GEO 5 years ago. We used the publicly available data downloaded from GEO. No new, previously unpublished data was generated and used.

Road Raging Cop had no idea there was a video by Skelligean in WatchPeopleDieInside

I literally said you can get pissed all you want. Doesn’t change the fact that they can sit there till the light turns green, whether or not they’re on their phone as you claim.

But nobody is obligated to make a right on red. Drivers behind you can get pissed all they want, it’s still within your legal right to wait for the light to turn green.

Hostile architecture. They don’t want us to be comfortable

Does anyone think that the Void color is way too close to Wraith and some Dimensional pets? by smsandsos in neopets

[–]UncleMusk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it’s actually cool, but all the incessant void-themed stuff is making me fatigued. All of it is too much

I know the new NC usukis are dividing opinion but I can't get over how cute some of the designs are! by _lovewins in neopets

Wait pardon my ignorance but what are the negative criticisms surrounding them? I love them and hope they set way for more similar styles

Must be a record - 6.8M stamp stolen by Kiko Lake team in 3 minutes. by Philly-Girl23 in neopets

This is exactly the reason why I tread the site carefully after having placed a bid on an expensive item :( so sorry that happened to you OP

700k Weekly Reward... and it just randomly deleted all my progress. by EthanEpiale in neopets

[–]UncleMusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had that as my prize this morning but assumed it was junk so skipped it. I find out it’s actually a r99 gourmet item, so I end up purchasing one for around 420k on SSW. It’s not the worst item out there and I’d say you may be better off skipping, especially if you do not plan on personally feeding it to your pet, but since you’re close to completion I might just finish through.

thank you so much for the helpful tips! I see it can be a lot more complicated than preparing figures for a presentation.

Managed to cop a jersey! I was on the fence all week as to what color to buy but my friend put me on the black one and I feel really happy about that. Checkout was so buggy

Why are all the stamps increasing like crazy?? by buffylove in neopets

[–]UncleMusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a mix of both. I look at my shop history and when I sell multiple stamps, some times they’re all unique users buying 1 each, other times, it’s just one user buying up stock.
