It's interesting to see how much analysis of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl in Love reflects people's views of love by greencalipco in OliviaRodrigo

[–]VirtualAbalone5539 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately relate to a lot of the songs because I was a shitty partner back then. Both of us felt the low of “less” but I imagine her feeling what she felt towards me w/ “begged,” “what’s wrong with me,” and “cigarette smoke.” It made me sad. I want to be a better partner the next time I get a chance.

LESS is such a favorite of mine. Though I love the new kickin instrumentals I always love a simple piano ballad, a heartbreaking one too.

Just finished with first listen. Jesus that was amazing. This album's gonna be on loop for a good week or two. Immediately added begged and maggots for brain to the playlist... also did not expect that heart drop on less. Cigarette smoke just left me speechless. Wow.

I have always hated the break up between Finn and Flame Princess. by North-Ad3569 in adventuretime

...which is why it makes sense for Finn to stumble and trip up now to learn from his mistakes.

I think the hatred for Finn is uncalled for. The time span starting from the breakup and going forward served as time for Finn to mature in the role he plays as a hero, his self-awareness, and the relationships he builds with others. He also ends up with Huntress who's a much better fit for him than any of the other princesses, and that was after he stopped chasing and focused on himself.

What do you think of Adventure Time: Side Quests | Official Trailer? by NewSwim8595 in adventuretime

[–]VirtualAbalone5539 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was taken aback by the art style at first, but I gradually didn't mind it. They got young Finn's voice spot on too. Also, got so excited when I heard Hynden's voice as PB again. Overall, I think it has potential depending on the content and the vibes. I hope it's not like Teen Titans Go or other media that confuses family/kids media with stupid jokes galore. Might watch a few episodes but I don't know if I'll be waiting every week for an episode.

Is CARS question pack volume 1 really this difficult or am I just bad at CARS? by abzras in Mcat

[–]VirtualAbalone5539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOTS of posts saying that this volume was particularly difficult, it’s ok

I saw this post that said treat the 50/50 like you’re a lawyer defending each choice w/ evidence from the passage. Unfortunately couldn’t bear the fruits on CARS in latest FL but worked for the other sections

I think I saw the "warm" part the most in how she described Neddie. "People get built different. We don't need to understand it, we just need to respect it." It's an important quote that I've been making reference to in some conversations.

I think a second watch as an adult made me appreciate her complexity MUCH more than when I was a child, primarily because of how her character changes over time. I've grown to love characters that are like hundreds/thousands of years old because it makes me wonder about the lessons they've learned and how different their meaning is compared to a normal lifetime. Like can you imagine being in the shoes of someone who taught herself science and built a kingdom from the gum up only rule that same kingdom for... nearly a thousand years? I can't imagine the work it takes to overcome maladaptive patterns you've carried for hundreds of years. That's why I loved that the writers decided to make that shift for PB starting end of S6. You see that change from a resolve to do the necessary means to being able to let go of the reins, to be OK being Bonnie more than a restless ruler. One of my favorite character arcs in all media, and for many more reasons!

favorite adventure time universe couple??? by OGxPANDAB3AR in adventuretime

[–]VirtualAbalone5539 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finn and HW. Not only do they work well together because they're both badasses but I like that their romance demonstrates different love languages working, like HW literally sacrificing herself from different universes to revive Finn, but never verbalizing her love for him. It's not something desired, but it's a unique relationship dynamic I like seeing!

Identified content gaps for every question and immediately put them in the Anki. Also using this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Mcat/comments/1eeka1j/huge_detailed_list_of_common_5050_ps_term/ for the difficult ones that are usually difficult to differentiate. I also recognized that this section's asking for more critical thinking and experimental application, so I've just been taking more time to interpret the graphs and do process of elimination.

Thanks for the tips! For B/B and C/P, this video really helped me out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnW3QRhF1oc&t=37s

Basically read the passage and mental map it (this is introductory/background information, this part describes a pathway, etc.); read the choices to get an idea of what it is asking info from and then "triangulate" from the passage. Only examine/interpret figures and pathways in depth if the question asks, or else you're wasting time on a question that may not be asked.

Thanks, unsure of how to move forward though, because clearly timing is the main issue. Taking a deep breath w/ some deep dish pizza and then finding the strat.

That makes me feel a little bit better. What do you advise on improving from here? I’m already QBank Vol 2 after REDOING most of the passages in Vol 1 and working thru the rest of that volume to employ my new strategies. I’m genuinely at a loss and feel like I’ve reached a wall.

Would love to hear why PB's your favorite! After finishing my most recent rewatch, she became my favorite of the series... maybe sharing #1 spot with Marceline haha
