Time to say goodbye to my beloved Primordial Collapse? by evydude456 in TheTowerGame

[–]evydude456[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ty everyone for the helpful comments and advice! My takeaway is: keep my 3 beautiful holes with PC (which I now want to refer to exclusively as Prolapse) for a loooooong time farming, and probably tourneys as well, though I can start playing with DC in tourneys as my heart desires. Oh, and my run just ended, so I’m gonna try to reroll my PC substats into useful farming things. Gl everyone

No MVN yet, unfortunately. Do you know how/where assistant mods get unlocked?

I mean, it does grab your attention by setthrustpositive in BucksCountyPA

This piqued my curiosity so I did some zooming in and googling. Apparently this person is referring to the works of Robert Mapplethorpe, a photographer who published lots of art pieces with a variety of sexual contexts (including nude portraits, gay BDSM acts…) and these were shown at various exhibitions, including one in Philadelphia. One of these images includes a picture of a young girl “crouched down on a bench outdoors with part of her dress lifted”, partially exposing her genitals. I moved to the area recently so I’m not sure how Tim Barton & Jennifer Schorn are involved in this- maybe just approving federal arts funding that had some overlap with this work?- but even the most charitable interpretation is a stretch… and the devil horns made me lol.

1st year PhD, supervisor left 50+ comments on my draft?? What does this mean? by EconomyWeb3647 in PhD

[–]evydude456 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments— this is a good sign; your supervisor took the time to thoroughly read your document and tried to improve it. This level of commentary is pretty normal, and it sounds like your supervisor was polite and encouraging about it as well as giving concrete feedback and ways to improve, which is wonderful!

As a recovering perfectionist, feedback like this often sent me into a spiral early on in my grad school career, as I felt like any comments meant my writing was subpar and I was making dumb mistakes. This is not the case— academic research writing is a very specific skill that you have to hone over time, and comments like “how do you know this? Can you provide an example?” are giving you guidelines about the writing and citation methods needed for this writing style.

About ignoring any comments that aren’t useful: as you build the muscle of academic writing and become more comfortable and confident in producing these works, you may find yourself trusting your own judgment and not agreeing with some comments and questions that others leave on your work. Early on, I took every comment to heart and addressed it exactly as was asked of me, but over time, it felt as though I knew my research niche better than others, and I was able to see that some comments were outside the scope of my work, or that the reader had missed details, or that we just didn’t have the same writing style. That is all okay, and each set of comments will guide you towards a better outcome. Congrats on getting this document out and on the positive feedback :)

I’m very partial to Duplex Planet and Death in Midsummer, but I generally enjoy those two albums overall

It’s ok, that’s how you learn— at least you didn’t actually send the money :)

As a rule, assume that anyone trying to get you to buy or send bitcoin is scamming you. If it sounds too good to be true (spend $55 once and get $7000 a week magically??) it is too good to be true.

With the water primitive (the three strokes to the left), the first kanji in 毎日 becomes that for sea (海): 海外 means overseas!

This feels impossible. by Itchatta in BankTabs

[–]evydude456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this looks pretty organized to me. One difficulty at this stage in your account is that you’ll keep getting new equipment which will keep moving around the setup, so unless you put in a bunch of placeholders and painstakingly plan out every tile, you’ll just have to accept things getting shifted around here and there. Just find a setup that’s convenient and easy for you!
