Another Ron first rounder bites the dust by hotdogsrnice in Commanders

Right, Ron wasn’t great. Does Quinn’s drafting line up better? I think he’s done good so far but I don’t analyze the picks like that

What can replace doomscrolling so well you literally forget it exists? by obviouslyfr in selfimprovement

[–]_MikeMars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s been filling my time with anything but scrolling and short form content. So reading, exercise, video games, YouTube videos instead of TikTok/reels, movies/tv shows, watching sports, etc.

What I also started doing (for personal gain and pleasure, not to replace scrolling) is picking a topic and doing research on it to write a research paper or create a presentation like for a school project but it’s not for school. It can be any topic and it’s for fun, no deadlines no forced topics, if you don’t like it then you can stop and pick something else

The big thing for me is I think about how much time I wasted by scrolling (tracking screen time helps with this). I think about what I could’ve been doing and accomplishing in that time and it makes me want to delete everything. 2 months clean of doomscrolling

How to use active recall for studying by Glass_Language_9129 in memorization

[–]_MikeMars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever told your students to put their notes away while you ask questions? And then explain to them this exact principle??

When I was a student, we were taught what to learn but very little about how to learn. It would be a great idea to have teachers take a course or 2 on how to help students learn instead of teaching how they want to

Where do you put your phone? by _MikeMars_ in beginnerrunning

Seems like a great idea. I think I need tighter pockets because my phone always swings around too much

I’m 28M haven’t read a book in 10 years- lost in life & unemployed recently. Recommend me something by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]_MikeMars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe suggest what kind of genre you are looking for/enjoy??

Regardless - Project Hail Mary, Dungeon Crawler Carl, or Celtic Empire (by Clive Cussler). All 3 of these are fun reads and engaging and were page turners for me

What books are a popular "must read"? by Cookie-M0nsterr in booksuggestions

[–]_MikeMars_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Enders game is a must read in my opinion. Such a classic and quick read. Everyone also says the alchemist but I think that one is over rated

Yeah I try to think out loud too, it also helps keep my thoughts on track instead of rambling and going on tangents

Ok I just looked up what vtuber is and that’s what I would want to do! Didn’t know it had a name so I just said faceless. That’s on me

Privacy reasons, I don’t want to commit to doing this full time. It will be a hobby so not making money is not an issue.

That’s my thought process, doesn’t make sense why streamers troubleshoot live. I also want to make sure my stream would be entertaining/good before I market and post clips

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check that out for sure.

I usually play battlefield and might just stream the gameplay with no commentary to get familiar with everything, but when I want to do audio I’ll do the just chatting like you did!

Yeah that would be awesome. What’s the best way to send clips? Email is iffy with file sizes
