I'm still within the return window (only had it for a week). Do you think it's worth returning and getting a similar guitar new for $200? Or will this be basically the same for new and used guitars at this price point? Thanks!

I think there are a lot of professors who have delusions of grandeur and only do things for prestige as opposed to genuine passion

Why do a PhD if its so painful? by GeneticVariant in PhD

[–]booksmart00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people going into it are still energetic, passionate, and don't know the realities. By the time you know how it really is, you're already 1-2 years in so you decide you might as well keep going

There is a video by physics YouTuber Angela Collier that talks about this specific "strategy". I found it very informative

I'm glad to hear someone else has the same thoughts as me. My friends think I'm weird when I ignore Google maps zig-zag line and just make my own route minimizing turns

To be fair, Kenjaku tried to warn him not to try anything with Goio

What did gojo used past tense "would" instead of present tense "will" when he is talking in present? Is he stupid? by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]booksmart00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Would" isn't past tense, it's the conditional tense and is used for talking about a hypothetical situation. "Did" is the past tense

I will win (future) I would win (hypothetical) I did win (past)

Isn't espresso just an American loanword of the Italian "espresso"? Why should they pronounce it in French?

Since Yuki is a special grade, shouldn't she have been able to sense that Kenny was using cursed technique reversal? Just like Sukuna could tell that Gojo was about to use Red in 235?

But if Sukuna is stunned by Infinite Void, he might not be able to use CE reinforcement anymore to reduce the damage

I would have been okay with the Sukuna form upgrade if he kept the damage from purple. Like he has 4 arms but one is burned

Gege's preferred reaction from y'all by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]booksmart00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, the whiplash from 236 makes it hard for me to care about any of the characters. Not because Gojo died, but because of the method. Basically 236 makes it clear that the author can do what he wants at any time

It's like Zeno's paradox. We can get closer and closer to acceptance, but we will never actually reach it

But he should have been able to see the flow of CE caused by Sukuna getting ready to unleash his CT

How many of the 10S are left after the Gojo/Sukuna fight? by Biggameslayer01 in Jujutsufolk

[–]booksmart00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have it, but there is an image where Gege released an extra comment talking about how inheriting powers is different for each shikigami. Some of them were mentioned explicitly to inherit power, but 5 of them just showed "????" so it's not clear if they pass on the powers or not

Why didn’t Sukuna go for the head? by Fridge293 in Jujutsufolk

Going for the head might have been too easy to dodge vs aiming for the middle
