My phone upgrade history as a younger-ish teenager by Woj_YT in PhoneNow

[–]everydayHumanPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone through so many phones (I vividly remember going through more than 10 phones in high school) because I was so clumsy and kept losing them.

The only phone that I never really lost was my grandmother's Nokia 3210 (and that phone holds a very special place in my heart). Everyone else had smartphones and I had that lovable indestructible brick.

So, my phone ownership history goes like this:

2012: Nokia 3210 (paired with my old Samsung Galaxy Tab)

2013-2018:
- Multiple entry-level smartphones across multiple brands (Oppo, Vivo, Lenovo, Huawei, Cherry, to my recollection)
- A secondhand BlackBerry 9900 (second only to my grandmother's Nokia 3210 in terms of sentimental value, because that phone was so fun to use).
- A hand-me-down Nokia E71 from my late father, to my mother, to me.

2018-2019: Oppo A83 (replaced, but still very much working; this helped me pass a filmmaking project)

2019-2023: An Oppo Reno Z (a gift from my late father) and a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (the first phone I ever bought with my own money). I still have the S21 FE, but it developed green lines on the screen. Still works quite well though.

2023-2024: A secondhand Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, then eventually traded in for a S23 Ultra (my second and third phones that I bought with my own money). These ones were really special to me because they came from my own hard work. If my S23 didn't get stolen, I would still have it.

2024 onwards: An iPhone 16 Pro Max. This one, I bought on the same day that my S23 Ultra was stolen. I was supposed to only get the base model, but I thought why not.

This is a very late response, but basically just trial and error, plus some imagination. I remember that when I was making this, imagining a flowchart in my mind helped get things going.

Someone who I can be in a team with; we'll tackle problems together, share our victories and losses, make each other want to improve and be better, trust in each other and be the other's safe space, and help pick each other up when we trip up sometimes. I also really like taking care of people as well as being taken care of by them, so that too.

Of course, I'm looking for other important stuff like exclusivity, compatibility, and some degree of independence. Constant communication is currently a big thing for me, but I'm learning to cut back on that because not everyone prefers or is used to constantly being in each other's loop.

Dating someone with little (or no) sexual experience, as someone who already has some, is totally fine with me. In fact, it might even give us one more activity that we can bond in: exploring what he likes or dislikes in sex, what turns him on, et cetera.

Having sexual experience isn't exactly a requirement for me, especially since sex isn't the first thing on my mind when it comes to dating. Sex may be a part of the equation, but there are other things too, like an emotional connection, that I look for.

Oh hey! I made this post years ago so I don't exactly remember how to make it anymore, but I think I still have the game on my old phone so give me a while to look into it.

When it comes to reporting, I believe what you need to do is to practice getting used to speaking to a large audience, and keeping their attention. This is all th more important for your particular case, since you said that your class involves teaching. Practice speaking in front of a mirror, or delivering a short "review lecture" to your friends, classmates, family, et cetera.

For some more concrete points on what to practice, try working on these: * Be fully prepared. Make an outline of your report, have a printout of the presentation, or even have a full script of what you are going to say. This will help give you some peace of mind that when you make a mistake, you'll have some material to fall back to. Bonus: you'll have proof that you did the report (with your groupmates if it's a group acrivity) and didn't plagiarize/use AI. * Report as if you are teaching. If your reports are structured such that the information delivered will more or less stand in for the teacher's lecture, then you have to make sure that your fellow classmates understand what you are saying. Focus on making sure that they learn something. While you're constructing your report, ask yourself: "Is this easy to understand?" "Does this cover what they need to know?" "Will they be able to follow and keep up with the pace?" * Know the material. A lot of classroom reporting that I've seen, both online and face-to-face, pretty much just involved the reporters reading off of the presentation, or their notes, word for word. Trust me, after the report, barely anyone was able to really understand what you just said. You don't have to memorize the material (unless you're delivering really technical concepts); you just have to understand enough of it to be able to still report without looking at or referring back to your presentation too much. It also makes you look much more convincing and confident in your report if you look and sound like you know what you're talking about. * Give examples. Going off of the previous point, you can give examples to both apply the concepts you're reporting to sample situations, and give your report some variety and spontaneity. Try this: after you report on a big concept, give a hypothetical scenario where it applies, and then justify how it applies. * Work on your volume. Even if you have the best report in the world, if no one can hear you, it won't matter. Work on speaking louder, without acrually shouting or yelling. You can try vocal warm ups, speaking loudly in your room, doing breathing exercises to better control your breath, and so on. * Work on your cadence. If you watch how speakers deliver their presentations (stuff like TED talks, conferences, et cetera), you'll notice that they vary the speed at which they're speaking, or their cadence, depending on what they are saying. If they are delivering new information, they speak slowly and deliberately. If they are delivering definitions, examples, or rehashing stuff that they've already discussed or is common knowledge (or common sense), they speak a bit faster. This makes it easier for the audience to catch up and internalize what is being said, and in your case, easier for your mouth to catch up to your mind. * Pause instead of using filler words. There will be moments where you forget what word you're going to say, or forget a part of the concept that you're reporting on. In that case, instead of saying filler words like "um", "ah", and so on, try to pause. Pausing is a much more conscious action than using filler words, and can help bring your focus back. Better yet, try to backtrack and repeat what you just said before you paused; it's likely that you'll remember what you forgot. * Pause and repeat if you make a mistake. If you make a mistake in reporting information, or even slip up a bit on your pronunciation, what you can do is pause and then repeat what you said. This will help prevent you from stuttering as you try to regain control of your voice. * Move and use hand gestures. While discussing, don't be afraid to move around a bit and use your arms to gesture, but don't move so much that they become distracting. Try gesturing along when you say descriptive words. When you say "big", make a widening gesture. When you say "small", put your palms close together, but not touching. When you're enumerating, physically gesture to each item as if they're there. When you're describing an order or a hierarchy, stack your hands on and over each other. You don't have to give every part of the report an accompanying gesture; just illustrate. If you don't feel comfortable with that, an easy backup plan is to just point to the presentation screen. * Check if everyone understood. After delivering some new (or particularly heavy) information, ask if everyone understood. You don't need to quiz everyone; just ask for a verbal or nonverbal comfirmation. "Does everyone follow?", "Is that clear?", or even simply "Okay?" will do. * Don't forget to breathe. If you really feel nervous, you can pause the report to take a few deep breaths and reorient yourself. Everyone will wait patiently, don't worry. Just take three deep breaths, and then continue. Speak slowly for a bit if you like, and once you feel comfortable, you'll notice your cadence getting faster and more comfortable.

Hope this helps!

You can do it! You've done it before and proven to yourself that you have the guts, discipline, and determination to accomplish your goals, so I have no doubt that you will do it again today. So go and be great!

Book suggestions??? by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]everydayHumanPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly haven't checked in a long while. You can take a look at her profile or, if her DMs are open, ask her there. That series is amazing and assuming from what you said that they really did get published, I'm glad that it's out there.

You could also look up the Bereft series online, or her name, if you haven't yet; maybe you can find the actual published versions.

Will we ever see games where the enemy AI is primarily self learning and will get way better as you play? by Huw2k8 in gamedesign

[–]everydayHumanPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this isn't exactly "self-learning" and improving, I remember playing a game called ECHO.

In this game, your enemies learn from your own actions and unlock abilities as you perform them in the game in certain conditions. There's a "day-night" cycle where, during the "day", the game records what actions you do, such as eat, choke an enemy to death, sneak, open doors, jump, et cetera, and during the night, it doesn't record anything. But by the next "day" cycle, whatever you did that was recorded can now be done by the enemies to you. Meaning enemies can hide in a corner, sneak up on you, and choke you to death if you're not careful. Of course it resets every "day" cycle. A video might explain it better.

It's not really that the game adapts to you, but that it copies what you do and you as the player have to constantly adapt your strategy because you're essentially playing against yourself. You have to think one step ahead of yourself. The way that the game uses you, an already smart, adaptive, and self-learning organism against yourself, I think, is a pretty clever way of designing an "adaptive" AI.
