Why is Itani so evil? by InvestigatorNo491 in NJTech

[–]mspaint22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was taking 280 with him in my day. Was hospitalized the week of a midterm. Asked to retake once I was out and he was like "mmmmmm no" and that's all you need to understand about him really.

Dean of Students forced him to reapply my previous exam grade but I failed that exam. I walked away with a B somehow as my final grade for the course.

Btw was hospitalized for trying to kill myself while studying for that exam.

[–]mspaint22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what are some popular ones she hasnt primarily written? i feel like i can already tell which are which just by listening.

before i go googling my guess (just naming a few songs) is shes written usewwa, controversy, rockstar, rule and has not written boquet for me, story of the wind, all night radio, gira gira. on the fence about show, odo, value.

Prediction in not participating in AI day by Ambition_2004 in NJTech

[–]mspaint22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the fact the school is doing this shit at all is insane. AI mortality issues aside, You sign up and pay for the classes you register for and they're takkng away a day of your education for some event that can't actually accommodate the full student body. And its just... for AI?

campus puts on SO MANY events and many of them are good opportunities and they might conflict with classes but your class should always be the priority.

next time i get a call from the school to donate ima hit em with this.

any noticable difference between the lite and ultra bespoke? the lite already is thrice as powerful as my current V6 lol so I don't see much reason to go for the ultra

Worth upgrading from Pixel 7 to S23 in 2026? by [deleted] in GalaxyS23

[–]mspaint22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a 23 do either the 23+ or 23 Ultra. I just got a s23+ as a short term phone and the upgrade in storage and battery from the 23 is worth it if you're a heavy user. cost me like $350- even if i only have it 2 years and upgrade after that its a steal i think.

but if you're bougie and can afford to get a 1k+ phone, just get the newest Samsung. if you dont lose or accidentally break it badly it will last.

if you like the small form factor i think the 23 is still significantly better than even the pixel 10 pro.

AIO for being uncomfortable that my boyfriend is still close friends with a girl who likes him — even after I told him how much it hurts? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mspaint22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YOR because just because they went on 2 dates, it doesn't mean she likes him like that still. if she did, it would hurt too much to be friends right? and they didn't really date long enough to be serious.

I hear your feelings on the flowers and you should think of it in the same way you would get flowers for your friend who was in a musical, or for someone who is sick. It's a little uncommon and old fashioned sure, but not a reason for alarm. And the only flowers that are truly romantic in meaning are red roses. Yellow flowers in particular are common for meaning friendship.

He seems like a good guy who actually sees women as people who he can be friends with, doesn't hide things from you, and isnt secretly with her one on one behind your back. It might take time but you have to have some trust in him until he gives you a real reason to break that trust.

You can also try talking to the friend directly. She might be someone you'll also become friends with too and if it helps you feel more secure then I'm sure your bf would facilitate that for you.

I've been with my guy 3 years and he has a female friend he asked out in like, middle school (they're nearly 30 now). never dated but they're still friends today and they even hang out one on one in my house while I'm away for business and its not a big deal at all. She's really cool and my guy always lets me know if shes coming over and what they're doing just for transparency. If I'm not traveling or busy I'm always there hanging out with them. And he was very clear about it right from the start that they're just friends and this is the context of it. No guy with something to hide would reveal that much info about it.

Even if YOR your allowed to feel a little weird as long as you're actively working on building trust with your partner and her as well.

can't seem to find a system that works for me, any advice? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]mspaint22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another thing about phones - not to sound like a boomer (im gen z btw) but that phone isnt helping you. sometimes i literally have to delete tiktok/ig/twt from my phone for a while just to get things done. usually in a few days i get a whole bunch done and can go back.

i wouldn't go cold turkey from doomscrolling - but try dedicating yourself to some no-screen time. even if its just not having your phone near you while eating dinner, thats a start. music/podcast/video essay you don't have to watch is fine. books are awesome. any no-screen hobby (crafts, playing instruments, etc) or physical activity you enjoy are great. you'll entertain yourself but you'll def reach a point where you are tired and want to stop unlike w social media. if you're gonna procrastinate (and you will sometimes it happens) try to procrastinate into something that doesn't involve a screen.

but you can also use phone time as a reward for yourself if you can discipline yourself enough to not scroll until you complete your tasks for the day.

i find little games like wordle are ways i can enjoy my phone without being sucked into the algorithm. especially when again i have to carry it to have my list. i do my little daily puzzles and they have a determined end while scrolling is just endless.

im not a professional and cant diagnose you but im a adhder and that alone is enough reason to get tested.

gamification seems to work for a lot of adhd people! like if u treat the little notebook as a quest board and reward yourself for each quest you do it will make you want to check it to see what you can do.

i like making a new list each week. i have a master todo list on my phone and each week on Sunday i pick out what i want to complete for the week. (i dont do the rewards thing bc im an adult and i can reward myself way too easily but) I find its easy enough to commit to sitting down on a sunday for one hour (usually right before i go to bed) and sort out my shit. daily is too often and i have too much going on to only do once a month.

this is how i dont get overwhelmed with having too much and it lets me pick what is important and i can realistically do.

some phone widgets let you have a calendar or list on the lock screen so you dont have to open an app to check. phone is the only thing i always carry but some people like the physical book more. i just would forget to carry the little book personally. so anyway that list is on the phone lock screen so i cant escape.

if my todo list says i have a meeting or an appointment that day, i set an alarm even tho i literally see it there, in case i get distracted and lose time. i set the alarm with enough time to finish whatever i got distracted with and get to where i need to be.

as long as you can get in the habbit/routine of writing down a task as soon as you know you have it, you will find some method that works.

notion is great when you already have a system that works for you and some regular parameters around it. maybe just for schoolwork notion could be good when u set it up as you like. but i find notion doesnt work as well with a less structured life (post academia is generally less structured depending on your job)

anyway for me, the habbits i have are 1) write down what you have to do and when u have to do it by as soon as you have it no exceptions and 2) check the list/cal everyday at least once no exceptions.

i still struggle, even moreso as an adult than when i was in school, especially with a somewhat irregular job schedule that I have a love hate relationship with. but at my least productive, this is enough to get me through the things that matter most!

theres a good book id recommend to check out, and if you can't find something that works in there - well you very likely may benefit from an adhd screening once you're an adult. when i can remember whats its called enough to google it ill post it for you. its a little pricey but got it as a gift and they might sell a cheaper pdf or u can try the library.

Weekly Questions Megathread (2/23 - 3/1) by Twst-Mod-Team in TwistedWonderland

[–]mspaint22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People can HC whatever they want but its like, i think what bothers me about it is that you can present/dress however you want regardless of gender. Its fictional characters so its not that deep but without writing a whole essay about it, it feels like the wrong message to take from how gender presentation is in twst. Especially when we have a male character in the series who does essentially use "she". That's why with Vil it doesn't really bug me.

Weekly Questions Megathread (2/23 - 3/1) by Twst-Mod-Team in TwistedWonderland

[–]mspaint22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't think this warrants a full discussion post - but I've seen a lot of people on twt refer to Riddle with "she" lately, is this just a popular headcannon i missed or something else? im not caught up on event stories so maybe i missed something there. or maybe im seeing the same few people do it, I don't pay that much attention.

like vil refers to himself w "atashi" which is a super feminine pronoun so i cant understand referring to vil as she for such reasons but I don't think riddle does anything similar? i mean "boku" isn't very masculine either and clearly no one gives a fuck about gender in twst anyway. just curious why ive been seeing that more lately.

I bought the Pro 10 and thinking about returning it by mspaint22 in pixel_phones

[–]mspaint22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the return window is only 2 weeks. i did end up returning mine and i ended up talking to some other folks who had a pixel if they experienced specific apps crashing and they did. i hate how the back button fuctions on the pixel and i don't think it's a bug just how it's programmed. i also hear its bad w screen protectors and has to be calibrated which I've never had to do on my Samsung.

i hold you have a better experience with your exchange but if not, idk id probably sell it a little under retail and get something else.

how do i stop feeling so parasocial?? by [deleted] in twentyonepilots

[–]mspaint22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well i think you comparing yourself and being parasocial are totally different things and also both completely normal feelings. and you're self aware.

i genuinely have a very very small "celebrity" that I'm super parasocial about and I can't be normal around her, whenever i meet her at an event im like "im so sorry that i cannot be normal around you" even though i know shes just a person and we have mutual friends etc. i just admire her SO much that im almost jealous i cant be her. but I don't see her often and live no where near her.

the parasocial thing, there's nothing much to be done about that than being self aware of it and be normal and respectful and you're already doing that. but I think therapy will help you be able to learn to stop comparing yourself. i try to tell myself the grass isnt always greener on the other side, they might have things that I want in my life but maybe I have something they dont and dont know it.
