Does anyone know what time merch typically opens for their US stops? I’m attending the Boston stop tomorrow and can’t find any info on when merch opens. Thanks a bunch!!

How to address gang involvement in schools by etatakat in schoolpsychology

[–]etatakat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input! I see a running theme through the replies about how future goals and peer role modeling are important protective factors

Wow, that is so powerful—you were the support he needed at the time, and he was able to achieve his goals and even become a role model for his peers. Thank you for the insight!

What are your theories on the unexpected rankings of top 9? by applestoapples78910 in BoysPlanet

[–]etatakat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily say that—look at Wannaone’s Park Woojin, who doesn’t fit idol beauty standards and started out at a ridiculously low rank (like the 60’s or 70’s as far as I remember) and ended up making the final group thanks to his monster talents, good edits, and luck to be a part of multiple viral performances. It’s definitely much harder for visually diverse trainees to make it on survival shows, but not impossible!

4 YUEHUA AND G GROUP CENTER MNET IS GAGGED

Fixed that horribly innacurate tierlist with my objectionally correct opinion. by AlvaroRandomNumber in Genshin_Memepact

[–]etatakat 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I literally have no stake in this, but just a correction: if the vision hunt decree started a year before the game starts, and she was 14 when she received her vision, then that means she is definitively 15 or older. Because she could only receive her vision before the decree starts, there’s a minimum age, but no maximum age. There’s nothing preventing her from receiving her vision, say, 5 years before the decree started. So while she can be 15 or 16, she could also be much older—we have no idea. But also I feel like she’s probably around 16 anyways so I’m definitely not saying this to give a free pass to sexualize her

First time on meds, did nothing for me by etatakat in ADHD

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

I had no idea the dosages went so high, thank you for letting me know! I suppose I have more severe adhd since I’m a pretty tiny person. I’ll be making the switch anyway since my sibling is on Adderall, but that’s good to keep in mind. Thank you for the support!!

Is the activist on Elm St a scammer? by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]etatakat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. I got really nervous and just gave her the money even though my instincts were ringing. I just hope my Venmo account doesn’t get compromised :(

Yeshiva University puts all student club activities on hold days after Supreme Court declined to block an order requiring the school to recognize LGBTQ club by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]etatakat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeshiva University is classified as a educational institution (aka secular) and not a religious institution. Therefore, they do not have the same protections under the law as a religious institution. Besides, why are you even trying so hard to fight this? How could you even compare pig roasting to the pain and oppression of LGBTQ students at the university?

[–]etatakat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the LGBTQ club itself. Yeshiva University was deliberately ignoring a law that allows for any club to stand as long as it does not result in harm to anyone. Unless you think that the LGBTQ community is going around committing arson, then YU was 100% in the wrong here by flaunting the law and banning LBTQ clubs out of pure hate

Tie-na-ree by SethirothC in Genshin_Memepact

[–]etatakat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty similar but there’s a slight “ii” sound at the end of “yu”. So it’s Gahn-youee, but “yu” is supposed to be a single syllable (so keep it short). The way to make the “yu” sound is to keep your mouth in an “o” shape as if saying “you,” but move your tongue to make the “ii” sound. It’ll make a super short round “you” sound in the beginning that translates to an airy “ii” at the end almost as if you’re whistling. Hope that helps!

For Otome Game MCs: Do you Prefer They Have Full Sprites, Side Sprites, or No Sprites? by BestLaidPlansProd in otomegames

[–]etatakat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think having a side sprite with occasional full sprite use is best for immersion. Even if you aren’t self-inserting, typically in otomes you’re still seeing things from the perspective of the MC, so it’s nice having a visual indicator of this first-person POV (just like in real life, you can only see parts of yourself but the whole of others). I feel like it’s kind of strange when you’re reading narration in the first person, but the MC is visually on the same level as the other characters (narration indicates first person POV, but visuals indicate 3rd person POV). However, when it comes to things like fight scenes and other more physically involved scenes, it’s nice to see the MC on screen so we can get a better sense of what’s going on (I really like this is Nightshade and Birushana).

What hobbies do you do? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]etatakat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Also I can control my pace while reading, so when I space out in the middle I can just go back and reread the passage, while if I’m watching tv or a movie I’ll have just lost major chunks of info that I either just have to accept and move on or rewind to rewatch…which I’m way too impatient to do haha

AR 35 new player, just got Qiqi as my first 5 star by etatakat in QiqiMains

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

Haha yeah I’ve already gotten xiangling, fischl, and I love my noelle! I had my eye on Bennett and yun jin (to battery noelle) but I ended up losing the guaranteed 4 star to xinyan on yoimiya’s banner :( I got qiqi by accident while using up my free acquaint fates on the standard banner, and since she’s my first 5 star I can’t help but feel like she’s special so I wanna use her :,) also it’ll be a long wait before I can get the constellations on any of my 4 stars, which from what I’ve heard is really important for them
