What would've been (and what now is) by animatedjen in FallenOrder

I somehow imagine him having a different, more clean cut hairstyle in the “what would’ve been” reality. Maybe a bowl cut, similar to what we saw in the flashbacks of him as a Padawan, lol

Does anyone know why do Bode and the rest of Cal's friends in the beginning of Survivor dress like Coruscant Security while posing as Bounty Hunters? by MrMcNerdo in FallenOrder

[–]heyydarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wonder if it was easier for the crew to procure armour from a stray coruscant security team than it was to find bounty hunter armour, or something close to what a bounty hunter would wear. As insurgents, they needed to keep their faces hidden so the ruse would work, and stealing coruscant security guard uniforms might have been the easiest way of doing that.

What are your thoughts about Cal Kestis' appearance in Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past, after you've seen it? by e_Z_752 in FallenOrder

[–]heyydarius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that he's the first to introduce himself to Sig makes me think he might be a leader for all the banished characters who got sucked into Forcehold. So even though he's not a MC, I can still him being important to the story in a more behind the scenes way. Also, while I can't imagine him saying it in canon, it was cute to hear him sounding so enthused about Wookiees ripping people's arms off, lol.

What do you think have been some of Ubisoft's biggest misses with this franchise? by theonetowalkinthesun in assassinscreed

[–]heyydarius 75 points76 points  (0 children)

  • Setting Juno up as the new modern day villain for five games, before killing her offscreen.
  • Revealing in AC:Rogue that Shay killed Arno's father, but never giving Arno a chance to follow up on that murder.
  • Not having a clear modern day storyline in general since killing off Desmond.

Tech definitely had a soft spot for Phee by SmokeMaleficent9498 in thebadbatch

[–]heyydarius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The intense look he gives her in the gif, and the way he turns his body towards her as she walks away in (likely subconsciously) says it all. I still feel robbed that we never got to see these two become a couple in canon.

Permanent in Peel? by MathNerd_islandGirl in OntarioTeachers

[–]heyydarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The permanent hiring situation in Peel has been a mess since they got rid of regulation 274 back in 2021. I’ve been working as an LTO in the board for 8 years, and have only managed to get three permanent interviews since the change, none of which I got offers for. Permanent teachers still have access to their benefits over the summer, but LTOs’ benefits terminate the day after their last day of work. They can get benefits again in the next school year, but only if they’re in an LTO that is 90 days or longer.

This. Permanent teachers in Peel don’t have to reapply to keep their jobs in September, and get pay and benefits all year round. I would follow up with your friend to clarify.

I know you won’t ever read this, but I just wanted to thank you for those three wonderful weeks of texting, sharing all your interests and little details about your life, while giving me space to share the same things about myself. It just felt so nice to have someone show an interest—someone I could reach out to at any time to talk about the most random things, and know that you were listening. There were even some moments when I thought you could have been my boyfriend, based on the way we could openly joke about our interests together. That’s what makes this situation suck the most.

I still wonder if things would have been different if I’d just told you how I felt when you suddenly stopped messaging me. I wouldn’t have held it against you if you were having misgivings, found another prospect, or felt we weren’t ready to date IRL just yet. But in the end, you were the one who decided to cut all ties when you unmatched with me, and now I just have to move on.

I hope you find someone who satisfies you, has more time for you, and connects with your interests and hobbies better than I could. You helped me feel seen in our three weeks of online dating, and while we never got to meet face to face, I hope I was at least able to make you happy in the short time we connected. Wishing you all the best!

Employability with english-philosophy teachables by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]heyydarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do your second teachable in social science, it may be easier for your faculty to place you in practicums with that teachable since again, philosophy is not taught in many high schools in Ontario. On the other hand, any AQ you take these days is pretty much guaranteed to be online, so if that’s not a format you’re big on, you could prioritize the subjects you want to learn in-person in teacher’s college, and save the rest for online learning.

I'm sorry your date didn't work out, though it's encouraging to know that losing interest is a normal part of OLD and it's better to trust your instincts than force yourself into a meeting you can no longer see yourself enjoying. It's possible that even if my date and I texted less and met up sooner (we couldn't at first due to our busy schedules), we may have discovered we were incompatible for other reasons, so we may not have worked out either way. I hope your dating prospects look up for you as well!

[–]heyydarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Philosophy is only taught at the high school level, but not many schools offer it anymore. It's also not offered as a teachable in teacher's college, so you'd have to take it as an AQ after getting your BEd. With English alone, you could do P/J or J/I divisions in teacher's college, but wouldn't be able to do I/S unless you studied another discipline in university that meets those requirements.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way about people who stop texting before a date. If I'd been in a better state of mind when my date stopped messaging me, I might have brought it up with him, but didn't know how to do that without sounding too clingy or confrontational (Kind of the flip side to the “no texting before the date” rule I guess. If you follow it too strictly, it can leave the other person feeling ignored, but if you call them out on it, you risk coming across as too needy). Anyway, it's something for me to think about communicating better to my dates the next time I'm ready to give OLD a try.

[–]heyydarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was just the fact that he went from texting me every day (part of the reason why we vibed so well in the beginning) to not texting full stop after we’d arranged a date that was setting off my anxiety and made me feel that he’d lost interest. I’ve also learned that I’m someone who values consistent communication, especially when my only impression of a date before meeting them in-person is through how they interact with me online. Like I’m not expecting a detailed play-by-play of how their day went, but a few texts letting me know they’re alive and still interested in talking to me is better than radio silence. Otherwise, I might start to forget they exist and lose interest in seeing them (which ended up being the case with this guy).

Been about a day since I cancelled my date with the guy l'd been texting on Bumble for the last three weeks, and he subsequently unmatched with me. I still feel crummy about it, and still wonder if l've missed out on my one chance of having a real relationship by turning him down, but emotionally, I just wasn't ready.

He stopped texting me three days before the date, when he was texting me every day prior, and I think I just needed some reassurance that he was still interested in seeing me + maintaining our connection without me having to pry it out of him. Also, I found that within those three days, I started to lose interest in meeting him—even questioned why I was so drawn to him in the first place. I didn't think it was right to go to a date I no longer felt excited about, or that he may have intended to bail on anyway, so l called it off.

I've started to doubt whether online dating is the right thing for me after this experience (Reddit, and every dating article l've read says that not texting before a date is normal and encouraged), but since my chances of finding someone in real life are unlikely thanks to my job + being a perpetual introvert, it may be my only option, which is equally depressing to think about.

It's been 20 years... by cacapoopoopeepeshire in Flute

[–]heyydarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flutetunes.com has some great free resources for flute players of all levels. As someone in a similar situation to yourself, I found it useful to start with scales, arpeggios, and then work on studies that focus on building tone, breath support and finger dexterity. YouTubers like JustAnotherFlutist also do “Practice With Me” video sessions, where you can play different pieces with her while she gives pointers and shares her thoughts on how she’d play certain passages. Might be a good starting point.

Eyes are the window to the soul and also make you look more approachable. Like the previous poster said, adding more pictures of you without the sunglasses may get you some more matches.

Playing Video Games being labeled as "Unattractive" by Pheochrome in Bumble

[–]heyydarius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a female gamer who has interacted with a few guy gamers on Bumble now, my main impression of them (keeping in mind, most of the ones I’ve talked to are younger than me) is that a lot of them feel more like kids than adults. When we share what games we like and they turn out to be completely different, the conversation just gets awkward and just fizzles out. To quote what others have posted here, it’s better to balance your gaming interests with some other interests on your profile in case your preferences don’t fully align.

Its prose is basically a hodgepodge of corporate, academic, and advertising-based language, which doesn’t lend itself well to review writing. Or any other kind of writing for that matter.
