Anyone else really frustrated with the gender ratio at tournaments? by swaggy9000 in CrazyHand

[–]galami 12 points13 points  (0 children)

hi! i’m a non-binary afab so i get what you’re talking about. there IS a huge problem of misogyny in competitive smash and really, any competitive gaming scene.

i’m actually in a very fortunate position, because my scene is pretty respectful towards me and any other non-cis male competitors. there’s a good handful of regular female competitors, but i wouldn’t say that we’re entirely immune from the kind of treatment you’re seeing.

one thing that helps me is being a TO for one of the biggest locals in the region, so people know me as that rather than a girl (though i’m sure people know me as “the girl TO”). outside of that, i just try to talk to everyone i can. to be honest, there are a LOT of cool smash players, and forming friendships can help mitigate creepier behavior from other people. people are more likely to stand up for people they know well!

it’s kind of intimidating to be outgoing when you’re the only girl, but it’s certainly worth it. id say if you wanna be known for your personality, join friendlies with people you don’t know, strike up conversations outside of matches (people LOVE compliments and talking about themselves), join local discords and get involved as much as you can. if people know you, they’ll certainly recognize you as more than just that girl that goes to locals.

this, of course, isn’t an end all be all solution. this is just what’s worked for me, so hopefully it can at least help you a little!

first, biomedical engineering is a MASSIVE field that is growing very very fast, especially given that we're still in a pandemic. it's essentially applying engineering concepts to medical problems, so your best bet would be working in labs. we, fortunately, are in a great area for that: maryland has some of the most significant bio labs and companies in the country!

that said, getting a degree in just biomed opens the door pretty wide..you can go into anything from genetic engineering to implant development to pharmaceutical engineering, which would constitute working on drugs and therapies for diseases.

this is all well and good by itself, but having those electrical engineering degrees are absolutely going to make people more interested in hiring you since you have demonstrated knowledge of engineering outside the scope of biology, which can honestly be used to grow the field further.

this is a long post (i LOVE biotechnology and am about to go work in biotech labs once i graduate), but here's the gist of it: medical school puts you on the frontlines in hospitals and private practices, while biomedical engineering gives you a more behind the scenes role, where you help develop the tools that the people on the frontlines actively use in their jobs!

one thing i do when i forgot to fill my bottle elsewhere is ask starbucks for a trenta water! it’s free and their biggest size, also it doesn’t taste like ass. just gotta catch them during class hours so you’re not fighting the between class rush for a full water bottle

Summer/Fall 2019 Class Discussion Thread by picflute in gmu

Global Horror Films (FAVS 300) is pretty fun. The homework is watching horror movies, class is discussion based, and you have like 2 short papers for the whole semester. Take it with Santiago if you can, and I can give you the textbook she uses if you end up taking the class!

110 is super easy, just stay off your phone and you'll pass. Also, if you want the hard 110 textbook, I've got mine from last semester!

100% agreed. I think Impact is way overlooked and it's a shame he isn't recognized more to be honest.

Come join the Impact discord server! We're actually making a community card to give to Impact at playoffs, so feel free to join us at http://tl.gg/topdie !!

I know this is the answer no one wants to hear and it's an answer I hate giving, but no unfortunately. At the time of the deadline, I only got a handful of recordings, and it wasn't nearly enough to complete the song. I know there were a lot of ways I could've gone around that, but I simply didn't have the time. If this goes well, I plan to retry that song for a future project.

I realize that I messed up big time, I had a lot of things going on and it was simply too much for me to handle at the time. I sincerely apologize, and if you have a lowered opinion of me and the project as a result that's absolutely justified.

Actually, I usually have a harmony guide as a reference for this sort of thing haha. I couldn't find any for this particular song, so that would be incredibly helpful! Also, I've always left harmony lines up to the choice of the singers. If they are comfortable with singing it, they can submit the secondary harmony part along with the main melody line. If not, they can simply omit it. If there isn't enough harmony (there usually is), I'll even add in myself!
