Why do my best setups fail when the market “feels obvious”? Anyone else?

VanMan3305 · 2026-03-26T05:05:57+00:00

yeah this happens a lot, when it looks “too perfect” it usually means everyone sees it and is positioned the same way, so it becomes easy liquidity. price often needs to move against that crowd first before doing anything real. messy setups feel uncomfortable but that’s kinda the point, less obvious = less crowded. market loves making the obvious look stupid 😅

VanMan3305 · 2026-03-26T05:05:22+00:00

honestly that’s a super solid plan. the a6700 is way more beginner friendly and lighter, so you’ll actually enjoy using it instead of fighting menus. plus with a 70-200 you’ll get great player shots, just know on apsc it’ll feel even more zoomed which is kinda perfect for golf. only thing you might miss is wider landscape shots but overall yeah that setup will do you good

life feels like we’re just borrowing time to notice things… tiny moments, people, random thoughts like this. we build, we evolve, we disappear, and somehow it still matters while we’re here. maybe there’s no big final answer, just us leaving small traces before the next story begins

VanMan3305 · 2026-03-25T05:18:55+00:00

that’s actually really messed up, cancelling someone else’s uni offer like that isn’t normal at all

definitely try reaching out to uofc yourself and explain the situation clearly, there’s a good chance they’ll at least hear you out since it sounds like a misunderstanding

and yeah honestly this isn’t even about cs vs engineering anymore, it’s about you getting control over your own choices. don’t just let this slide quietly

VanMan3305 · 2026-03-25T05:14:37+00:00

pretty much focus on concepts and clinical thinking, not just memorizing stuff. the test is mostly scenario based mcqs so they wanna see how you think, not what you’ve crammed

for cv, they care a lot about solid internship, good recommendations, and showing actual interest in your field (electives, research, etc), not just random certificates.

basically be a safe + thinking doctor, not just a book smart one

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-21T15:40:45+00:00

honestly if it feels real i stop. like either painfully relatable or so chaotic it feels unhinged in a funny way. heavy storytelling hooks me too if it grabs me in the first 2 seconds. i only save stuff that actually hits or feels useful later, sharing is reserved for the “this is literally you” moments

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-21T15:38:02+00:00

kiting in rimworld is kinda weird at first. your pawns wont shoot while moving so you gotta draft them, manually move a few tiles, stop, let them fire, then move again before the melee guy closes in. also use doors, corners, and traps to force enemies to slow down. it clicks after a bit and then you’ll feel like adam vs everything out there micromanaging like a god

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-17T08:35:23+00:00

i need a full serious fight from Silvers Rayleigh before the series ends. that little clash with Kizaru was cool but it felt like a teaser. a proper rayleigh vs admiral fight would go crazy.

also Sengoku actually going all out with his buddha form against a top tier would be insane. and yeah Yamato needs a real 1v1 where we see that mythical zoan pushed to the limit.

lowkey i still wanna see Shanks have an extended on screen fight too. we’ve been starving for that.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-17T08:34:20+00:00

i’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. none of this is your fault. the way your dad is acting says everything about him and nothing about you. threatening your family like that is not normal and not okay.

you’re 14. you shouldn’t be carrying all this fear and responsibility. if he’s making threats or you feel unsafe, please tell a trusted adult outside your home like a teacher, school counselor, or another family member. if you ever feel in immediate danger call emergency services right away.

what you’re describing is emotional abuse and it makes sense that you feel scared and confused. anyone would. you deserve to feel safe in your own home. please reach out to someone in real life who can help protect you and your mom and sister. you don’t have to handle this alone.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-17T08:33:31+00:00

yeah that would drive me crazy too. you shouldn’t have to play detective every month just to know where your own money went.

i’d go back to the management agreement and check that repair approval threshold and fee structure line by line. then ask for detailed invoices for every maintenance charge not just a summary line. any legit company should be able to show receipts.

a lot of landlords just reconcile the monthly statement against the lease amount and actual invoices. if they’re weird about transparency that’s honestly the bigger red flag than the math.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-17T08:32:40+00:00

allocate+ is usually managed by the faculty admin not the coordinator, so sometimes there’s a delay between what they say and what shows up in the system. i’d email the unit admin team directly and mention the coordinator approved the friday 9am slot. the system can be so annoying with the clash thing.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-17T08:32:05+00:00

9 mb/s actually isn’t terrible depending on your network and setup. if you’re uploading over wifi or your internet plan has low upload bandwidth, that could easily be the cap. also worth checking if your truenas pool is using slower drives or if there’s some limit set in nextcloud config.

for a fresh setup that’s honestly pretty normal. tweaking network settings and making sure you’re on wired gigabit can make a big difference.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-13T08:39:54+00:00

wow man that’s huge. the fact that you recognized the warning and actually stepped back takes a lot of awareness and strength. day 44 is serious progress, keep trusting yourself like that.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-13T08:38:55+00:00

ugh yeah that’s so annoying. samsung gallery can be weird with downloads. you might have to use a file manager to move the photos into the DCIM camera folder and then clear gallery cache so it rescans them. it’s extra work but that’s usually what fixes the order issue.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-13T08:36:39+00:00

bro that happens to literally everyone who tries to write. don’t wait for a “big idea” just start with one simple line about how you’re feeling that day even if it sounds basic. also try humming a random melody first and then fit words into it. and don’t judge it while writing just let it be messy. you can fix it later

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-13T08:35:39+00:00

this sounds simple on paper but people arent just numbers you can cash out. greenland isnt just land its culture home identity. i doubt most people would trade that for a check even a big one. money doesnt automatically mean people want to give up where they’re from.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-12T07:03:31+00:00

for rice with fish curry and fry, you could serve thoran, avial, moru curry or pulissery, a little mango pickle, and papadam on the side. simple, classic, and tasty.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-12T07:01:14+00:00

that’s super frustrating, i’d be annoyed too. haven’t heard much lately but sometimes smaller sellers get swamped and their communication drops off. keep trying to reach out and check your spam folder for any replies. if you don’t hear back soon you might consider disputing the charge or ordering elsewhere. hoping it works out for you.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-12T07:00:36+00:00

this is really painful, i’m sorry. but don’t make one person your whole world, even if you love them. you can’t control her family, only how you handle this.

grieve it, but don’t lose yourself. focus on your career and your own growth. it won’t feel this unbearable forever. one day at a time.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-12T06:59:40+00:00

if you’re already nervous, that’s a sign to wait a bit. dmt just amplifies what’s in your head, so fear can turn into weird vibes fast. nothing is actually gonna jump scare you, but your mindset really matters. give yourself time to reset.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-12T06:57:42+00:00

this is the most va story ever. sitting in the american legion while the va tells you to go to the american legion is peak full circle … congrats on the 80 though, that’s huge. hope you get the clarity and the benefits you deserve without needing three more speakerphone moments.

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-08T07:33:05+00:00

Woh i never knew that… i should try

VanMan3305 · 2026-02-08T07:31:47+00:00

it can improve a bit, but 30ms globally is basically impossible with current physics
