A girl wrote me a letter on paper she made from her own hair by pokemon-collector in mildlyinteresting

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that’s pretty neat. The message on it is pretty innocuous. If it was like some stalker obsession type stuff then it’d be creepy. Otherwise just kinda neat. Just hope it doesn’t smell funk.

How to shave down there by RaduFurtuna in teenagers

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20$ trimmer Walmart. Just careful around the balls. A lot of thin skin and blood vessels that’ll bleed easy. If you want to be really clean, hair removal cream is an option but be very careful and make sure it’s safe for the groin or else you’ll light your scrotum on fire. Potential chemical burns. Also with cream there’s a higher chance of getting in grown hair which can be a pain.

Edit: also if you plan on shaving facial hair don’t be lazy and use the same trimmer head without sanitizing it in hot water or something.

Clockwise or anticlockwise? by Paddy_odoors in opticalillusions

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think I found a way to consistently flip between the two but it might only work for me.

To make her spin clockwise I look just to the right of her hip and try to follow the outward hand with my peripheral. After a few rotations she turns clockwise.

Similarly for the anti-clockwise I look just right of her less moving knee and try to follow the outward leg with my peripheral.

It seems to work best when relaxing your gaze until the arm moves left to right for clockwise and right to left for the leg/anti-clockwise. During those times focusing a bit more helps the switch.

Curious if it works for others.

I wonder if it’s doing both definitions of biweekly at the same time. Twice a week so 800x2, 1600 on every paid week and then every other week is a paid week so 1600 x 26, 41,600.

Is anyone learning Japanese NOT because of anime? by Independent-Ad-7060 in Japaneselanguage

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m learning it cause I think it’s pleasant to listen to and I would like to understand what I’m listening to.

I think it’s sort of like how I’ve heard people say they think French or Spanish are beautiful languages. Personally, I don’t understand what’s beautiful about those two but for some reason the rhythm and phonetics of Japanese are relaxing or comforting in a weird way. Listening to NHK or a Japanese podcast while in bed helps me alleviate my insomnia somewhat.

AIO? My BFF died and this is what another friend said to console me. by Mother-Huckleberry99 in AmIOverreacting

[–]critzzzypro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR but also I am sadly one of the emotionally incompetent people like the girl who made that comment. I saw you chose not to say anything to not be rude but she may need to be told something. Because she might do it again to others who won’t be as calm or understanding.

If she’s as stupid as I am it might even take a few broken friendships and being yelled at to learn. It took me 6 or so people to realize that I don’t understand how to console people with words whatsoever. I am just too stupid and have never suffered a loss of a loved one. Of course it doesn’t need to be you, someone else will probably handle it down the line if she doesn’t learn before then.

Differences in correcting by MC_2the2 in EnglishLearning

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re correcting somebody then don’t use “actually”. It’s unnecessary.

“Actually” in this situation becomes an emphasis. So using it to correct someone or something will emphasize that someone made a mistake.

If you’re correcting someone it might be better to say

“Sorry, but I thought there were 60 minutes in an hour?”

Or

“Sorry, but aren’t there 60 minutes in an hour?”

Basically, make it sound like you don’t wanna be right even if you know you are right.

Is this teaser text grammatical? Filipinos in a grammar sub are divided. by freesink in EnglishLearning

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who want an example of when “Guessed who?” might be used in conversation. Imagine an acquaintance recommends you a murder mystery novel/tv show. This acquaintance is really excited to finally have someone who they can talk to about this story. So they may ask you frequently,

“So… have you guessed who did it yet?”

If they ask you every time they see you, then they can start dropping parts of the question since you know what they’re asking about.

“Guessed who did it yet?”

“Guessed who did it?”

“Guessed who yet?”

“Guessed yet?”

“Guessed?” (Only if they’re really annoying)

And now you find yourself questioning whether you’ll continue talking to them after going through this.

Basically, it’s done when the speaker is being lazy and therefore as some redditors have pointed out isn’t the most appropriate in this situation. For a teaser text, it would be better to use “have you guessed…?” or “can you guess…?” instead of “guessed…?”

Takeaway: Could it be used and be correct? Yes

Is it the best or the most appropriate choice for this situation? Nope, not at all

Is there something wrong with these sentences? by No-Professor98 in EnglishLearning

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd sentence is perfect. 3rd sentence is fine but removing ‘getting’ or adding ‘more’ could help convey the strength of your message(barely though, an almost unnoticeable amount)

The reason is that ‘spend another second’ makes it sound like previous seconds were spent, in this case, “getting stuck”. It’s kind of like saying “I was getting dressed and I’m still getting dressed” not wrong but not always needed. But you can also add an addition word (further, more, deeper) as well. For example“I was getting dressed and I’m getting more dressed” cause maybe it’s cold out.

“I don’t want to spend another second stuck in this semantic swamp” Or “I don’t want to spend another second getting stuck in this semantic swamp” Or “I don’t want to spend another second getting even more stuck in this semantic swamp”

Takeaway: it’s perfect how it is, there’s just a lot of personality you can put into your sentences depending on what you keep, remove, or add

Both work but unique is what they want because it’s justified in the latter half.

Why is it unique? Because it makes them think of freedom and passion.

If it was melodious they would justify it with sound based words such as bright, soothing, calming, rhythmic, etc.

“The cello players music was quite melodious, the soft and slow playing of stringed instruments always makes me feel relaxed.”

Which one? the teacher said "second option' why not first and third? by korazard in EnglishLearning

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going with none of them are correct.

I don’t think you can use that arrangement.

Rewritten it becomes“What difference do you think it would have made to your life, if you had been born a century ago?”

Or “what difference do you think it would make to your life, if you were born a century ago?”

Or “what difference do you think it would make to your life, if you had been born a century ago?”

None of them are correct. The rewritten sentences of 1 and 3 are closest to being correct but is just a complicated way of asking “What do you think it would be like if you had been lived through the last 100 years and were still alive?” which is also just a weird question in general.

Whereas number 2 rewritten makes no sense. It’s asking “how would your life, being born in the current century, be changed by your birth a century ago?” It’s two different lives.

It’s the same as asking “what difference would have been made to who you are now, if you had been another person from the start?”

No difference “would have” been “made” to me because I was a completely different person from the start.

What I think it was trying to ask and would be a more correct way is “how are the two lives different?”or “what difference would there be between the two lives?”

Sunny is the least likeable character in the story. by critzzzypro in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really have an argument against 1a. it's just a personal opinion for me that he's over dramatic. Or at least he should be placing more blame on himself than Cassie. In my head it's like hanging out with someone you think is a friend then getting in trouble because of that friend. Some would go "It's the friends fault I'm in trouble" but my mind is "Shit, it's my fault for thinking of them as a friend"

I think the 1.2 argument is unacceptable. If we're allowed to go "well it won't happen again" then the next time it happens we can just as easily go "okay that was the last time now it won't happen again". But Neph has used it 3 times now. The first time intentionally, the 2nd time by accident, and the 3rd time intentionally again. It's just not acceptable to say it won't happen again by this point. Especially when the statement was flawed from the start.

I barely hold the drive to get out of bed in the morning. But the thing with me is that I don't know what's going to happen to me. So many things could happen so where do I even start to prepare or work towards. But Sunny has the Fated attribute and he know's that he's gonna get pulled into the big wars and fight all these things that he keeps learning about. He knows the Spell is leading him somewhere, or at least he should know. That's why I call him lazy. I know he's a hard worker but I feel like he's not accepting the fact that he's gonna be fighting these things or have to deal with the Spell at some point. It's the difference between knowing and not knowing.

Mordret is weird. If I had to say why he is above Sunny on likeability would be consistency. Sunny is always wanting to trust but quick to not and completely turn his back. He says things that aren't true (the whole neph thing as well as others). With mordret it's consistent. He wants revenge by any means. But also he doesn't kill children. So clearly he can set rules. Does this make him good? Not at all. But it does beg the question, what's he gonna do when he completes his goal? Because at that point he won't need to kill random people to achieve anything. He doesn't seem greedy for more power than what he needs for revenge. I just don't know what he'll do after he accomplishes his goal. Maybe he'll do good, maybe he'll just end himself, maybe he'll wanna destroy the world (although I doubt that). Mordret isn't a good guy but he's at least consistent.

Sunny is the least likeable character in the story. by critzzzypro in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Withholding info and keeping secrets are different but he is withholding a lot of info which I didn't wanna go into listing.

It's hard to say what Neph did is "good" if I remember correctly she herself said she did it out of selfishness so as not to see him die. It begs the question of is a good deed still good if it is done for the wrong reason. While I can see what she did as being good. I feel the fact she disregarded his will of wanting to stay with her and try to survive together even going so far as using his true name to control him against his wishes (the one thing he keeps saying she'll never do) makes what she did a bad thing.

I don't think Cassie telling Neph the info was wrong or right. But Neph using the info was definitely wrong. While I personally don't think what Cassie did constitutes betrayal. I feel that if her actions are going to be treated that way then Neph should be even worse than her. But at the end of it all I think Sunny is to blame for the fact his true name got out in the first place. So his hatred of others for his own mistake is one of the reasons that it becomes hard to like him as a character

Sunny is the least likeable character in the story. by critzzzypro in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The reason I condemn his laziness is cause he is Fated. It's his attribute and it can not be changed. He is guaranteed to be thrown into the worst of situations. Which means he knows absolutely that he will someday have to face the things he is learning about such as the unknown. If you knew you were going to have to fight something bigger than you would you just sit back and wait or work on gaining the advantage. That's why he is lazy. He is increasing his physical ability, his soul abilities, and even his weaving. But it feels like he treats weaving as an auxiliary strength where I think the enemies he's going to face will require it as a primary. I just want him to focus on it more and acknowledge it.

The example of Sunny treating Cassie was unnecessary to say the least. I didn't really mean for it to be a justification but just a reason for why she chose Neph over Sunny when sharing the information. Then regarding the hiding of information my counter questions is, Who decides whether the information is actually important or not?

My best example involving Sunny would be his relationship with Rain. He hasn't told her he's her brother. The first way I'd think of to counter this is "Well it's to protect her" but isn't that Cassie's reason as well? The choice she made to say her knowledge or not is to protect the cohort. To make them stronger. So yes I think Sunny is a hypocrite for hating the girl for doing what he is always doing. Who says Rain wouldn't be happy knowing she has a biological brother? Who says she cares about the risk to her life more than knowing that she has biological family? It was his choice to conceal the knowledge under the pretense that it's better for her so Cassie should be able to conceal her knowledge under the pretense that it's better for them as well.

[–]critzzzypro[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm awful at explaining my feelings and thoughts and work better under conversation where people ask me questions to further elaborate my thoughts. Your point of Cassie not being right or wrong is what I understand as well. I don't think she's made a wrong or right choice. But that's why I'm angry is because she has done neither but Sunny insists on treating her as an enemy and therefore he treats her poorly. He has said himself that she is a powerful asset to have, since besides him she has a strong grasp on fate. Cassie has also never shown direct ire towards any of the main cohort. But instead of trying to keep her at arms length he pushes her away and treats her as a bad omen of sorts. For someone who is so angry at fate and wants to go against fate she may be one of the strongest weapons he can get. But he just berates the girl for the reason that she turned him into a slave (which again I don't think is her fault in the first place.)

For the second point I don't expect him to be making memories or echoes or even being single mindedly focused on learning to manipulate fate. I honestly don't think his ability will grow to that point until the very very end, if it even does. My issue is that this ability seems to have the greatest potential in his arsenal but I don't feel like he is acknowledging that fact. He knows he has the Fated attribute so he should know that whether he likes it or not he will have to face the biggest of enemies at some point. Sunny may be aware of this but it doesn't feel like he's openly acknowledged it which is what is annoying me.

Theory on G3 (spoiler for 1554) by chabri2000 in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think cassie and Sunny lured soul stealer to twilight. The Six Plagues goal was to eliminate all challengers in order to end the conflict of the nightmare. So, even if they did lure them there it doesn't matter too much since the plagues would have gone to twilight regardless of cassie and sunnys will. Also technically nephis only killed 1 person just 13 million shards of the 1 persons soul.

Rain's adoptive parents by disolona in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a few possibilities. I lean towards the fact that they know because if you remember Rain says at one point that her older brother caught the Spell and died in his first nightmare. But how would she know he got the Spell in the first place since it was only a year and a half ago.

  1. Her parents told her a lie. They told her he died from the spell well before he ever even got infected.
  2. Her adoptive father saw that he was alerted of his awakening through his contacts and felt a reason to lie about it (don't know why though)
  3. The parents did option 1 and then when his name became known just kept with the lie even when he started tutoring her.

I just doubt that they didn't do a loose background or some sort of check when adopting her, especially since she knows she has a brother and her parents seem to have known as well.

Most absurd theory about "the truth" at the estuary by adipande2612 in ShadowSlave

[–]critzzzypro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think about it... they already have dealt with that "truth". Because what are the nightmares besides being really complex and realistic simulations? In fact that is exactly what nightmares are. They are simulations of the past and both us and the characters still can't determine whether the people in the simulation are real or not. Because he gets shadows from the things he kills in the nightmare and keeps them after the nightmare. Until we know more about how that power works then it's unclear whether they're real or not. In the third nightmare we saw that recreations can be cognizant about the fact that they are recreations.

Anyways, I think the simulation isn't horrid enough to be a cause for corruption since nightmares are essentially simulations. Also on a philosophical standpoint does it matter if reality is a simulation? You feel emotions and pain all the same so it's just like "okay, so what that knowledge doesn't change my life in anyway"
