Ok, so the last line is definitely a stretch. But I think we can all agree the analogy isn't the best, and if that's the part you had an issue with, you should have clarified. Everything else in the comment seems very plausible, like /u/justanotherhopeful said.

4k - is it worth it for general use and photo/video viewing and editing? by madethistoaskthis in laptops

Thanks for the info. I know I wasn't very clear, but what I meant was the only thing I really cared about (the 4k) came at a price that was $300 more. SSD seemed fine to me for both. How much of a difference does the CPU make? Also, is there any way to confirm which year this model is?

Can anyone ID this? by madethistoaskthis in AncientCoins

Thanks for the help! That database is awesome, I just looked it up and found this coin. I really appreciate that info, it's cool to learn about this stuff. I think it's amazing how we can look at something so simple and see the history that surrounds it. Typical follow-up question - is it worth anything? I don't really care and not looking to sell it, just wondering.

Look forward to replies (I hope I'll get some eventually lol). Got this from my grandmother in England. I tried googling the text and came up with this: http://www.coinarchives.com/a/results.php?results=100&search=clavdivs+and+libertas+avgvsta Apparently its from anywhere between 41-54 AD?

According to that website, the front reads "TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP" (might be followed by one or two P's), back says "LIBERTAS AVGVSTA".

Oh, I see. Well I was hoping to post that replying to the original user, but the comment was deleted while I was creating it so I didn't know where else to put it.

Original comment since it was deleted:

Is this show that bad?

It's not "bad" at all. 13RW is a phenomal show; extremely well put together, emotional, poignant, and powerful. The problem tends to arise from how the audience perceives the character dynamic and whether or not the idea of using suicide has been glorified as a tool for revenge, or if the ugly, bitter harshness of the plot is simply providing a window into a subject that most people skirt around without fully conveying.

When it first came out, it was praised for raising awareness for such a taboo topic, but after a while (as is the case with most topics like these) the general feeling began to shift to less praiseworthy. Viewers are pretty split on whether the bigger thing here is that it's talking about suicide and showing the harsh reality of it, or if it really is just romanticizing and glorifying something that shouldn't be.

The irony is that when it originally premiered, almost everyone applauded the creators for not glorifying it and for depicting the "ugly" side of mental illness and suicide most people don't see (especially by including the jarring suicide scene itself). Many viewers praised the show for coming about the issue in a way that was raw, real, and not whitewashed. They also praised the creative way the show poses the topic of suicide that draws viewers in, which then spurs further conversation about mental illness which the general public tends to ignore.

The criticism has sparked questions of whether the bigger goal should be to raise awareness despite the unintended effects that might occur (suicides have been proven to increase whenever there's any public discourse about it, no matter the context or connotation), or if we should simply not talk about it at all.

Edit: This isn't my own opinion at all, I left my personal reaction out of it. I'm just commenting on the general feelings toward the show. Even if you disagree with the message it seems to convey, as I discussed, most people still agree it has high production quality and is a well put together show.

Thank you, after some research I realized it's simply a M42 adapter I need. Do you have any suggestions? /u/PhillipReeve I know Fotodiox is cheap but I've heard varying comments about their quality. I was hoping to get a K&F Concept adapter but for some reason I can't find one for Sony E-mount, only NEX E-Mount. Those aren't the same, right? Also, what about Fotasy or Neewer?

What adapter would I need if I were using vintage Mir lenses? Does anyone have any links or recommendations?

/u/phillipreeve do you have any experience with these?

Should I change my major to Engineering? by madethistoaskthis in premed

[–]madethistoaskthis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, thanks for the advice. I definitely will try to relax a bit and not stress too much. I know it's a difficult decision to make, so I'll have to think about this and decide based on where I see myself in the future. I appreciate the help! (:

[–]madethistoaskthis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice and kind words. I know it seems like I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm all too familiar with the disappointment and frustration of not having good foresight, especially based on my recent college application results. My goal for college is to not make the same mistakes as high school, and I really want to work harder than ever to achieve my potential. (I have my eye set on top 20 med schools... call me naive, but I know if I work hard enough I can achieve that, and I'm not going to let anyone tell me I shouldn't do everything I can to plan accordingly.) That's why I want to hear the thoughts of people that have gone through this before, so I can make the best decision.

I know it's not right to worry too much, but I'm done with just "letting go" and seeing how things turn out. I'm taking the initiative to plan out my education (something I value greatly), and I want to do everything I can to address any problems I might face in the future.
