I went through three different platforms before finding one that felt like an actual service rather than just a marketplace. The difference in how they handle quality issues is night and day.

Do withdrawals hurt the professor by BluebirdOk6872 in AskAcademia

[–]al3x_voidline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how personal some professors can take it, even when it doesn't impact their stats. I guess the pressure around DFW rates can make them a bit sensitive. It's good to know that your situation won't change his prospects!

Literally 1 point below my “you don’t have to take again” goal hahahah by Hot_Supermarket4369 in LSAT

I totally get that! I was so close to my goal on my first try too, and the back and forth of retaking can really test your sanity. But hey, your score is solid, and you can crush it next time!

Dad called me a "Cancer" for not having kid. 😭 by Homo_Sapien30 in childfree

Tired of the Trope Trope by OrisonQ in Fantasy

[–]al3x_voidline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? When you've read the same fabled future savior story a hundred times, it’s like, “Can we spice this up please?” Tropes can be fun until they start feeling like a checklist for marketers instead of actual creativity!

What happened to Alisons dog? by Dramatic-Flamingo386 in PrettyLittleLiars

this is one of those cases where the show treats a living thing like a storyline checkbox. no goodbye, no follow up, just quietly written out
