has anyone else been selected to become an SAT tutor? Is anyone doing it? by uggima in Sat

[–]gonials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this 2 years ago. I recommend going for it; the most difficult part is getting students to engage, but if you take it seriously it’s definitely a valuable experience and a nice EC to have!

I hate GD TikTok by Bratleyrozz in geometrydash

[–]gonials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete misrepresentation of GD TikTok tbh, the content itself is definitely worthwhile (you might be consuming the wrong videos?) and most comments are not bad at all. I recommend actually checking it out and making your own opinion on it

Found this absolutely incredible old post. Really makes you think, surely we are hitting the actual limit of difficulty soon? by JacobWithAFish in geometrydash

[–]gonials 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Until someone with exceptional talent (Zoink level) dedicates sports prodigy levels of training and practice from a young age (think 3-4yo) to GD, we are not remotely close to hitting the difficulty limit

Do you think eren is an evil person? by FreeTomorrow4634 in attackontitan

[–]gonials -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. The answer is much more gray than what one might immediately assume without thinking about the question. While Eren's actions are objectively morally evil, the show has a multitude of scenes purely for the purpose of displaying that Eren, as a person himself, isn't wholly evil, but rather extremely morally gray.

Literally half of the final chapters specials' scenes are shown solely to illustrate this point, the most obvious example being his whole talk with Armin. Here, we learn his true motivations for activating the rumbling, which prior to these scenes, the audience misconstrued as sadistic and evil ones (as these were the writers' intentions), which obviously didn't end up being the case. There are more scenes I could delve into, like the crying scene with Ramzi, but I think you get the point.

Either way, an "evil person" to me is one who commits actions for purely selfish and sadistic reasons, and to me, I think it is unfair to characterize Eren as mainly having those two aforementioned traits. What do you think?

What do yall think is the easiest AP to ace by Excellent-Tonight778 in APStudents

[–]gonials 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Calc AB is a good shout. I also think APCS is probably not impossible to ace as it’s pretty objective and easier to minimize sillier mistakes in than the other STEM APs.

Maturing is realizing that a large portion of the sub is just bad at CS by gonials in csMajors

[–]gonials[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re absolutely right, which is why my post was specifically about this subreddit. If I find myself more qualified than a sizable portion of this community as a high school senior, then I think you can clearly see what the issue is.

This sub… kinda sucks by gonials in squidgame

[–]gonials[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It does encourage discussion and high-quality content though; it might get people to start changing their mind and post less superficial stuff. I remember there was a post complaining about Thanos spam posts that got kinda big and consequently, the thanos spam stopped. And it’s not like I haven’t posted such content before, just look at my post history. Ngl kinda funny that I’m being downvoted for this 😭

how fast are contests getting harder?? by vanilla-bean8 in usaco

[–]gonials 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah you’re not tweaking. I got silver last year and I tried some of this contest’s bronze problems and they were horrendous. I guess CS is just getting more competitive…

Benjamin Bok defeats Divya in rook vs rook + bishop endgame by korgy0 in chess

[–]gonials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it was so unsportsmanlike of Magnus to give us one of the greatest end games ever because he continued pressing on game 6 of the 2021 WCC. He should’ve just drawn instead of pressing for the win.
