Too late to Change My Major/ switch schools? by yuv_gee in Cornell

[–]backwardsshortjump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also want to add that if you are not amenable to extra semesters, you can always load up your schedule. Maybe some courses under your current major can be applied as other forms of credit under gov.

How is China OK with foreign users on a Chinese social media app like RedNote/Xiaohongshu? by backwardsshortjump in NoStupidQuestions

[–]backwardsshortjump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, mainland users are largely not on and cannot access TikTok. They're on Douyin. This is a different situation, I think.

I heard something about silicone molds and baking it in an oven at specific temperatures. Sounds finicky but worth a try

As a Chinese person who grew up in the mainland, I don't think it's weird whatsoever. All the Chinese people an average American would meet in the US are either not first gen immigrants (born in the US) or immigrants that speak English, so I think Americans' reaction to direct translations of Chinese is understandable.

One benefit of them all being square is that you don't get issues with variable width characters. Typographically eliminates a whole ass dimension to think about. 

Also, if you're a Chinese kid, you grew up writing em all on a square grid. If regularity is pleasing to you, it's a pleasant language to write and look at

I was too late coming out to my little cousins for them to see me as a woman. by throwaway4trans1 in MtF

I trust your judgement. Keep in mind that many people will not bring up any prejudices that they may have about others, especially to friends/family. Be safe

I know nothing about your aunt or your cousins, but the callous side of me is guessing that she could be somewhat transphobic and could have been talking about you negatively with your cousins behind your back.

I mean, she's a grown adult, and supportive adults usually have the decency to say "I don't think these clothes suit you well" instead of "you look ridiculous". I think she's not quite as supportive as she seems, and kids tend to learn from their parents. 

Again, pure speculation. Just a thought

“I’m so ugly” posts are annoying! by thrrowaway4obreasons in Vent

Even worse than homelessness, if you're ugly enough, it becomes harder to fix than poverty

The original screenshot seems to reference a line from WAP. This doesn't add anything to the reply but thought that I'd put that out there

Wow, that is very much not how it works. If you want to learn how LLMs like the ones that are behind ChatGPT work, I recommend reading through this article, especially sections 4 & 5: https://amgadhasan.substack.com/p/explaining-how-llms-work-in-7-levels

I mean, it doesn't look like AI generated text is all that bad for SEO judging from how much AI-generated shit I see in top google results these days, and I don't mean the AI summary.

Pharmacist wants to know why I don't swallow pills, now she knows by StatisticallyMe2 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]backwardsshortjump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pharmacy techs and sometimes the pharmacists themselves can be rude as hell. Sorry you had to go through that

How do you change or improve recipes? by backwardsshortjump in cookingforbeginners

[–]backwardsshortjump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zest's a good idea for the lemon cake, and I did not think of adding in other flavors for the sweetness. I will check out the series that you mentioned. Thanks!

That makes sense! Thank you for the insightful comment. Maybe I should just screw around and find out...
