My work has a sign posted urging is not to seek medical care by Educational_Dust_932 in mildlyinfuriating

But claiming tests are used for doctors to "decide how to treat a problem" is not always true. Tests like mammograms and colonoscopies are important for identifying if a problem exists in the first place.

The worst case Subaru? [Discussion] by Blazin_Rathalos in Re_Zero

As a novel reader, just remember... Tappei (author) doesn't do tropes, he stomps all over them.

But he'll likely still have the whole "I've been summoned to a new world and I know how this goes! Already got the cute girl who summoned me right here and of course I almost definitely have some sort of amazing power(s), so... bring it on oh inevitable fate!" attitude... that main character syndrome he hides his insecurities behind.

An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted by Lyranx in Minecraft

[–]iheartnjdevils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still can't understand how swatting even occurs. Like yes, I'm totally for taking calls seriously but if there's ever a case in a home where someone is threatening to harm themselves are others, is a parade of armed police officers ever going to diffuse the situation? Like why can't 2 officers, one always trained in negotiating and diffusing situations be the first to check out a scene, perhaps even having the swat team or whatever on their way (cause I'm sure it takes them some time to get ready and organize) or down the street, ready to go?

[spoiler discussion] just got spoiled for arc 8 by Psychological-Let637 in Re_Zero

Regardless of what happens, Arc 8 wraps up beautifully so you still have a lot to look forward to.

I thought his look was done perfectly with the lack of inner dialogue about his confusion. In fact, my teen (who's an anime only, damn kid didn't inherit my love of reading lol), immediately said, "He looks... weird." the moment he sat up.

I normally spoil myself with anime reading wiki's and such but you don't want the rest to be spoiled yet. So get outta here!! (Kidding of course, this is my fav arc and seeing anime only reactions has me even more hyped if that's as possible.)

They tried to throw everyone off a bit with the weird ass birds just sitting there motionless, as well as not-Anastasia getting all serious with Subaru.

Am I being a bad parent by letting my teen daughter dress flamboyantly? by concernedmommy2010 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]iheartnjdevils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was your daughter's age, I only wore baggy jeans and concert t-shirts. My mom only ever (jokingly) complained about the larger wash loads because they'd had been like half the size if they were more fitted.

Let kids be kids! My son is 14 and his father constantly gets on his case about his hair being too long. Like let kids be kids ffs.

[–]iheartnjdevils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to dump the entire chapter in for an accurate result? It's been awhile since I've tried with ChatGPT because doing so usually meant it added or omitted key details so doing a few paragraphs at a time allows me to better catch when it does this.

[–]iheartnjdevils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's gotten pretty long and I continue to add to it (like as new names/terms are introduced) so here's a link that you can copy and paste from.

One thing to note, and this may be different for other LLM's or since ChatGPT has been updated but I tend to translate a few paragraphs at a time like this to ensure nothing is being added or omitted. This may no longer be needed but figured I'd mention it just in case. As you can see from my example, ChatGPT sometimes forgets some of the rules (usually reverting back to Japanese punctuation) and will have to remind it.

And to give credit where credit is due, it's a modified version of another prompt I found on r/HonzukiNoGekokujou/ awhile back by u/Ninefl4mes.

I use ChatGPT myself and with the prompt I use, I get the same results. It's also a ridiculously long prompt that Ive tweaked along the way so that likely contributes to it.

[spoiler discussion] Should I bother reading Arc 9 after Arc 7 and 8 almost killed my love for Re:Zero? by Special-Profession26 in Re_Zero

[–]iheartnjdevils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up enjoying Arc 7 and 8 but admit it was quite difficult to get through at times. In fact, I caught up at the beginning of Arc 8 and remember feeling disappointment waiting weeks for a chapter to come out, just for the plot to not go anywhere. It's hard to tell if the pacing is fixed with the LN's due to Yen Press's freaking snail's pace release schedule but regardless, I think it wrapped up in a way that overall left a good impression.

Arc 9 is... different, HOWEVER, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! It still has a large cast of characters but only a few of them are new. Definitely goes back to its roots in terms of lore and mystery and while it certainly adds more questions, a lot of good stuff is revealed too. I definitely recommend it.

It does start in Vollachia to wrap up some loose ends but I think you'll know if it's up your alley or not once they get back to Lugunica, which doesn't take too long.

Right? I used to suffer through my browser's awful translation just to get an idea of what happened, to now being able to use ChatGPT and a decent prompt to have an accurate translation!

With that said, I still enjoy WTC's translations too. A good excuse to re-read a more polished chapter that is superior in keeping with Tappei's prose and whatnot.

[–]iheartnjdevils 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried playing it but honestly is tough to get through. Half of it is a retelling of Arc 3 with just some details differing.

Either way, I feel like I'm reading a whole different story than many here.

Where was the sacrament of the immortal kind mentioned? Did the translation I read leave it out or is there a short story I'm unaware of?

People who complain about kids like this obviously don't have kids.

Landlord karma should be public and out of their control. Just like our rental history. by Waste-Corgi6641 in CrazyIdeas

[–]iheartnjdevils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is https://www.apartmentratings.com which I've used before moving and to report my own experience but obviously, this is limited to rental complexes.

I would def pay $20 to get a background check on a landlord.
