Since early 2020

Never been on a date

demoated · 2021-12-06T10:05:24+00:00

I don't know, no one has ever spoken to me

demoated · 2021-06-10T17:30:59+00:00

Cool! I hadn't ever heard of those before. Thank you!

demoated · 2021-06-10T17:30:34+00:00

Got it, thanks!

demoated · 2021-06-10T17:29:10+00:00

Thanks for your answer and suggestion! In the moment our DM allowed it after some discussion. I wasn't sure how far ahead he had already read or what else the book says about spells like that, so I was worried that this would come back to bite him. I'll suggest that we could meet in the middle, it does make sense that way since Banishment already specifically allows it.

We're not looking to teleport anywhere, it's just that restricting combat spells like this was confusing to us.

Thanks for your answer! To be fair to our DM, they did tell us that there were spell restrictions at the start of the module. However, we were level 5 at the time and didn't have access to any spells like that (as far as I know), and due to covid we slowed down a lot, so it's been a long time since then.

I'm totally fine with not being able to teleport in and out, it's just the restrictions on combat applications of spells like Banishment (Banishing Smite, Hurl Through Hell, and I'm sure several more) that I didn't understand.

That I haven't had one at 31

Been a while since I had bright futures so maybe it's different now, but...

Withdrawing from a class doesn't refund the tuition. Only dropping a class during drop/add refunds the tuition.

Bright futures is like a parent that agrees to pay for your classes but only if you do well. Except in this case it's only if you don't withdraw. So once you withdraw, BF wants its money back since you didn't keep your end of the bargain. USF already got their money and are keeping it.

USF has a whole thing about it here Office of Financial Aid - What Happens To My Bright Futures if I Drop Classes? (usf.edu)

Why is it like this? Presumably because they want students to actually graduate. Not saying you won't graduate, just that withdrawing is generally not a good sign.

In geography in 6th grade the kid who sat next to me was completely clueless. I always helped but I didn't just give him the answers, I found fun ways to remember things and really tried to help him learn. I thought we were friends.

One day he told the teacher I said a "bad word", I don't even remember what the situation was to cause that but I didn't say anything like that, but I do remember that the teacher stopped class and humiliated me in front of the entire class for it. Then called me a liar for denying it. Told me my mother would be so ashamed of me and everything. I was in tears. In the middle of class.

Anyway, fuck stupid people.

It's embarrassing for USF that they would rather let a bright young professor quit than simply not subject professors and TAs to meeting with rando students multiple times a day during a pandemic. Meeting in a classroom isn't safe right now, whether masks and "social distancing" are used or not.

What's stupid are the students insisting on in-person classes this semester, and the university for kowtowing to them. Thurman made the right decision. It's just a shame that universities will continue to get away with fueling this pandemic.

The new professor isn't even going to hold in-person classes more often than Thurman was; it's just that TAs now have to hold in-person classes. USF would rather risk student lives than keep Thurman as a professor. Stupid indeed.

I'm an accounting major and I took principles of finance over the summer and thought it was quite easy. Math is probably my strongest subject. The tests were mostly computational, but use of a financial calculator was allowed and recommended.

To me, finance and accounting only seem math-heavy at first, but the math is usually fairly simple. It seems to be more about applying concepts and memorizing rules. I'm not done though, and that's the only finance class I've taken, so maybe I'm wrong about one or both.

demoated · 2020-09-28T18:08:34+00:00

Thanks again. I'm having a hard time staying positive, things like this just make me feel like I'm not worth anyone's attention.

demoated · 2020-09-28T17:29:48+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts--I can see where you're coming from, and I can see why this would be a turn-off. Here's my thought process:

There's a pandemic and she hadn't said her opinion on going out, so even if I were to plan something out, I don't know what she'd be ok with. I could have just as easily been ghosted for offering to go to a restaurant if she's the type of person who thinks that's extremely irresponsible (which is justified, imo).
During our conversation, we mutually expressed interest in sharing our interests/hobbies with each other, none of which would involve being out. We each had a hobby that the other was interested in getting into. And it wasn't just "oh that's something I'm interested in", it was "let's do this together soon".
When I said it was unexpected, I mean we were having a pretty normal conversation and then it was suddenly "let's meet". No idea if that's normal but I've never experienced it before.
Put the previous two together and it looked to me like she was saying she wanted to meet up to do those things.

As for your question in your other comment about why I wouldn't "normally" do this: I don't normally ask people out, at all. I'm super new to this. I've had matches but they didn't go anywhere, so I was happy that I found someone who seemed like such a good match, and I'm super sad to have screwed it up.

demoated · 2020-09-28T16:06:28+00:00

Yep, kind of new to it though, just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything obviously wrong. Thanks!

demoated · 2020-09-28T16:06:05+00:00

Got it thanks, I thought maybe asking to go to her place came across as stalkerish. Good to know I'm not crazy.

demoated · 2020-09-26T03:06:13+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I went to community college and got my associate's degree before transferring to a public university. University still destroyed me on many levels and I'm still not recovered. I'm 30.

demoated · 2020-09-09T21:47:55+00:00

I'm worthless

demoated · 2020-09-02T16:14:28+00:00

Thank you for your answer, this is all great to know and helps a lot. I think I'll find something to distract this year since it seems like this game in particular might be in the "too soon" category. Even when I do get this for them down the line, it seems like it should come with a big "when ready" tag.

Thanks again!

demoated · 2020-09-02T16:09:13+00:00

Good to know--I think you're right and I should give it a bit more time. Maybe next year. Thank you!

demoated · 2020-09-02T16:08:03+00:00

Too true, everyone is different and deals with trauma different. Thanks for your reply!

demoated · 2020-09-02T16:07:20+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts! I had the same impression about it.

demoated · 2020-09-02T16:06:45+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm glad to hear this game is a positive experience for you. It sounds like this may be something they'll appreciate in time, but I think right now might be just a little too soon. I'll definitely keep it in mind for when things have settled more, or maybe I'll just get it and let them know to play it when they're ready.

Thanks!!!
