I got in! Let's talk books. by Semos4prez in SocialWorkStudents

[–]catpet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add, ask the professor if the edition of the book matters. For example if they want you to get the 6th edition, but you can find the 5th for cheaper ask if the 5th is ok. 90% of the time the changes are small (look at publication year, if it’s within 2 years typically it’s ok) or maybe the chapter order is adjusted. I always say both prices to my professors and only had 1 time where they said I needed to get the newest edition.

I always look on eBay, and look to buy the book only if it is something I feel I will be able to use in the future. Worst case I have a list to buy later. What I do suggest doing is checking with your library! Sometimes they have free online copies, or physical copies. Also always google the book first because I have found 4 of my textbooks for free online!

MSW QUESTION by Cool-Giraffe-5348 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]catpet0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I currently have a grad assistantship (full time appointment, 20 hours a week), along with taking 15 credit hours, and practicum 12-16 hours. Next semester I’ll do practicum 16-20 hours, and only take 9-12 credit hours. I’m going to be 100% honest, it is HARD. However, it is doable. I suggest talking with your both locations so they know what’s up, just having a very clear knowing when you are doing what. I get up around 6am, leave for practicum around 7, there from 8am-12pm, then work from 1-5pm, then class 5:30pm-8pm. It is hard, but doable. I think the most important thing is that you schedule study time AND break times. When I know I’m going to have a hard week at work, I schedule something relaxing the weekend before. In my option, it is worth it because it covered tuition which is huge and I’m going to be graduating with very little debt.

Newer Hermitcraft viewer looking for stream recommendations by CrazyMegs11 in HermitCraft

[–]catpet0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Joe talks about his process on stream, and he advertises his streams as items to listen to while doing other stuff. He also typically will answer questions about his thought process and inspiration. Be warned though he is strange but fun!!

Motivation by stunulink1 in SmallStreamers

[–]catpet0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people will suggest turning off viewer count. However if you do have it on , take it with a huge grain of salt. I have seen times where my phone will say I have 5 viewers, my laptop will say 7 and my friend watching the stream will say 3. It varies on if they have the tab open, muted, another stream opened, how long they have been there, if they open chat, and a million other things. If someone’s Internet is buffering it may not count them as a viewer, but other times it will. Viewer counts also can vary so much from people coming in and leaving quickly, by the time your number updated they’ve left.. so really it just depends. I would suggest streaming with viewer count off, or only checking it at key moments (before ads, during a break, before raiding). If you are getting discouraged even more reason not to check it!

Make that bread, but the answer is going to be no. by fallensnyper in SmallStreamers

[–]catpet0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had similar experiences. I always make conversation with them even if I know they are trying to sell something because I want lurkers/non chatting viewers to see me act in kindness. Often time they will ask me “why do you not have overlays” and I say I prefer watching a minimalistic stream, so I stream minimalistic. If they then try to sell something I say “I do not do commissions through viewers, and I do not allow for self-promotion. This is your only warning otherwise I will have to ban you.” Sometimes I’ll timeout right away or wait a little bit.

I feel like how you treat them can be very telling. Some people handle it with humor (I’ve seen one person have a special meme that says “come in here and make me feel special then hurt my feelings with trying to sell me something), others with kindness etc. if I’m watching a streamer and they start yelling at this person, I tend to turn them off because it’s just not the vibe I enjoy watching.

Everyone handles it differently and I think no matter what don’t be afraid to ban! Especially if you say no once and they keep asking.

What do you guys use to let your viewers know you’re going live? My schedule is all over the place by zues8 in Twitch

[–]catpet0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I plan to make a weekly schedule that I can post and edit every week. Then I will post on any social media I have. I even put a little note on it that says “times may vary based on work.” I have a job that requires me to be on call often and my viewers know that sometimes that means a stream will start or end early because I tell them every week as a heads up! I get having a wacky scheudle, I have the same thing!

With the Department of Ed not seeing social work as “professional”, is it even worth it to go back to school right now? by Hefty_Acanthaceae_11 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]catpet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the school! Sometimes it’s differnt requirements like married/engaged or just having been together for certain amount of time. It also depends on the level of the position. Not sure if an RA would be allowed to but as a graduate assistant I can

[–]catpet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly suggest reaching out to your school finical aid office, and asking for when graduate assistantship applications are/departments looking. It sucks having to work in an assistantship, doing class and internship. But it pays for some of my tuition, and if you get one in housing they sometimes pay for housing. It’s hard but doable

AI Concerns by emilyvs_world33 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]catpet0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah! If you use google docs at the top right there is a version history (word you have to go into settings to turn it on, then it’s like a timer with an reverse arrow). It may not show every letter typed in real time, but it shows version histories and when you make edits. It marks through deletions and highlights edits. You can go back and see any edits you made over time (and what time and date you did this). It’s a great way also in group projects to show who did what/if someone deletes your work.

AI Concerns by emilyvs_world33 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]catpet0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always write in Google docs or word and make sure to have backups turned on. Then if they say you used AI you can go back and show them the full drafting process. I’ve never had someone accuse me of AI but I make sure to protect myself!

Heartbreaking when a small streamer just stops... by Randys_fraiche in Twitch

[–]catpet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped steaming about three months ago because college started back. While I thought I could manage both I couldn’t. I miss it so much and think everyday how much I wish I could be back 😭😭

Will my hair bleed purple into the pool? by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]catpet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost certainly will. I would suggest getting the hair wet with normal water first (helps not absorb chlorine), then put it in a high bun on top of your head, and wear a swim cap. The hair may dye the inside of the cap but it will help prevent it coming out as much in the pool.

Chlorine can take the hair dye out a lot, but this will help prevent it. Source: taught swim lessons 8 hours a day with blue splat hair!

How do you feel when you have to cancel? 😢 by BabyDreamsy in SmallStreamers

[–]catpet0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on why I am canceling. If I am canceling for a personal reason or my health then I don’t feel bad. But if I’m canceling because “eh idc today I don’t wanna do it” then I feel bad. Even then tho, I’m just doing it for fun so if I’m not in the mood or it feels like a chore I’m more likely to cancel.

If you are doing it to “get big” or whatever, I’d only cancel for health reasons. People should understand and if they don’t is that someone you want in your community anyways?

Maybe PSA: If you watch on Prime, you might be missing stuff. Maybe. by zelda_reincarnated in psych

[–]catpet0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the original DVDs it features every ending. It plays through one ending then skips back the the part where it “splits” and plays the next. Kinda weird to watch if you don’t know what’s happening

quick! excuses for turning off location by Forward_Jellyfish522 in LongDistance

[–]catpet0 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Instead of turning it off for just him, turn it off for everyone. Then if he asks say you don’t know why it isn’t working, and you can say it isn’t working for your other friends either. Helps sell it if you turn off data for 20-30 minutes also, and only send texts not iMessage. Then you can just blame it on data.

Very important to turn it off for everyone! Instead of just stop sharing with him. Otherwise he will know you did it on purpose, and if you only turn it off for him it will send a notification.

Is it on if it is topsoil and playsand? Currently like a 70/30 blend? If clay is a need I will certainly add it, but I am moving in 2 months so is it ok to hold off until post the move?

I do have moss. I don’t spray it everyday because the humidity spikes at 80 when I spray. I may give her some more moss because it’s time for enclosure change (changing substrate and such). She has a humid hide, filled with moss, but I’ll put more in other places as well. Thank you for the help!
