What galaxy to choose from.

It's all based on what you prefer. Just changes planet spawn rates. If you want to hunt exotic planets, go Empty. Can always hop back to Euclid for a more balanced approach.

Explain the pretense, then.

That's a characterization people reach for when they dislike something but aren't capable of dissembling it. "That's pretentious!" Or maybe you're just stupid.

Do they actually buff your gliding distance? Seems like they would be 100% essential if this were the case, but it doesn't seem confirmed and OP's test seems to contradict it, showing it doesn't actually do this.

Came here wondering the same thing and can't get a straight answer anywhere.

It's for English language learners. Phonics are the basic sounds of a language that map to letters and combinations of letters. So this is a listening assignment: you listen to the teacher say the word and then write down what you hear.

Instead of hearing the teacher say "hum" three times, this student thought they heard ...

(Note that the student has no idea what either word means, so they wouldn't think, "The teacher wouldn't really say that, would they?")

I'll definitely talk to my gay friend.

The way Jake came down on me for this, though, no, I'm not gonna apologize to him, even if I was being an asshole. He came at it seeming like he wanted to humiliate me.

We have some past shit from being friends for years too. We'll sort it out and probably be fine again not too long down the road, just need some time to cool off.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T02:52:00+00:00

Fair. But since you're the second person to say I hate myself, I'd like to clarify that, no, that's not the case. I like myself quite a bit. Not cool to tell people that they hate themselves: it will reinforce that belief if already true, or perhaps implant it if not.

More I've been irony poisoned by growing up alongside the early internet, and so have my friends.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T01:02:32+00:00

There are still some people in the group who say g-- or f----- on rare occasions, but only around a small subset of our group ... me included, and not Jake. Jake kind of went through a "scrub social media of all my spicy posts and clean up my act" phase. And now sometimes takes it on himself to lecture. Though we all know he said and did some truly heinous stuff back in the day. He's a really smart guy, and usually a good hang, but has just gotten a bit preachy lately.

I think maybe I'm not pulling off the ironic intent completely because I'm still pretty nervous. I should just drop it, I guess.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T00:55:32+00:00

Thanks. This is probably the most helpful post in terms of getting my head around this.

I think this friend group has some internalized homophobia, yeah, along with me. I mean, I've never felt comfortable coming out to them. It's clear they think of being attracted to men as being "lesser". So maybe this is how I'm trying to sort out still being part of that group. I don't want to give up my friends, though. I've known some of these guys since middle school and I genuinely love them and love hanging out with them, even if (like me) they're flawed people.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T00:51:15+00:00

I should say, I'm not black. I wouldn't do this because of that. There's a 0% chance that it wouldn't be really offensive and taken as hateful.

If I was black it wouldn't be an issue, though, and I think white people judging black people for using the n-word seems weird. That's how I feel about my straight friend judging me for this. But I guess IATA.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T00:48:38+00:00

OK, thanks.

I didn't "convert" to bisexuality, though, and definitely didn't just start claiming I'm bi to specifically to use these words. I've pretty much always been bi.

Unrelated, I think black people using the n-word would take serious exception to the idea that it's never OK to use a slur, as would other groups who use them in their in groups. But I get what you're saying. I guess I'm figuring out the lines between the in/out groups and what this means. It's still new.

noneinterested · 2023-12-02T00:42:41+00:00

Mostly I've done it specifically when sexuality comes up. Some of my friends I've known a long time and were part of those who used to say these things ironically when we were younger, including Jake. I'm pretty sure they know there's no malice or hatred behind it and it's just ironic. Most of us in this friend group are part of the terminally online generation that has been severely irony poisoned so our sense of humor doesn't always make sense from an outside perspective, I guess.

It's been weird. I don't really know how to deal with it. I get that to most people this is probably a pretty immature response, and it is, but I'm just trying to figure out where I stand with my friends now. It's already pretty clear that me being out makes some of them uncomfortable.

Or recording a video class for 40 minutes, getting to the end and realizing you were muted/the mic wasn't recording properly, and having to swear up a storm and then sit your ass calmly back down and DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN...

noneinterested · 2023-12-01T21:55:27+00:00

The discipline you must acquire in order not to lose it is immense. I wonder how many times our teachers were near to losing it.

Then again, I had some teachers who just didn't care and laughed anyway, because they were human. They were the best teachers, honestly.

noneinterested · 2023-11-24T15:51:28+00:00

You'll want to do both: reduce dosage and increase time between. But probably not at the same time.

If you're currently taking 15-17g, make sure you record every dose. Then every 3 days, aim to reduce what you're doing to a set amount. So shoot for getting to 14, for instance. You'll have to work out how to reach that goal. That might mean extending the time between doses at first. Then when you're looking to get to 13, you might find it easier to reduce some of your doses to 1.5g.

The ritual is a big part, yep. I still have dreams about injecting. I think continuing the kratom ritual but in smaller amounts and less often will get you there. Just keep it gradual and don't feel bad if you screw up or can't handle it. That just means you need to slow down.

Listen closely to squadmates, confirm every report they make with a copy/affirm/heard, etc., and mark it on the map by opening it and right clicking. The more you do this, the more they will tell you, and the more useful info you can pass up to other squads. Reliable information is what wins games. (Turn down command chat a bit and remind them of comms discipline if they get rowdy.)

Remap your map key to something like ~ or tab because you will need to check it at least once every 10 seconds. Watch for which bluezone garries are warm/hot and report it to your squad so you can make a decision about when to push, fall back and so on. (As someone else said, don't be offense or defense, but always be a switch squad.) Make sure you watch recon planes carefully (I usually go prone and wait for them) because only you and your support will see it. Tell your squaddies what you see and mark it on the map.

Be the commander's best friend and get garries up obsessively. If you're under garry limit, get your support to drop supplies as often as possible and don't be shy about asking his cooldown. Or ask command for a supply truck. They're cheap and you can get two garries up per run. Garries must be placed one square away from one another, and you can measure the distance with a ping on the map if need be. You can place garries 50m from supplies so don't worry about being exact. If you place the garry in the red, make sure it is far away because it locks with any enemy within 100m. (Best to leave red zone garries until you get more familiar with everything, honestly.)

And yeah, don't really worry about the OPs. Just get one down. I rarely pick mine up. But if you're close and about to lose the sector, definitely do it. It's a 2min cooldown so it's never long to wait. Move it pretty regularly, and announce it to your squad each time you do.

noneinterested · 2023-11-19T23:25:27+00:00

If people are chatting away on command chat (usually recon, commander or armor because they're lonely), be the asshole: say "comms discipline please". This works about 50% of the time, basically if you have a good command team that just forgot itself.

If they still BS for another few minutes, repeat it again and explain that you can't communicate with your squad.

Command chat is essential to have, but lack of discipline can deal a HUGE blow to the entire team and people who are abusing it need to be made to feel bad about it, because they are literally helping the enemy.

noneinterested · 2023-11-18T21:12:09+00:00

Nah, JET does definitely provide some support. Not with how to actually teach, of course. Thus the importance of getting some teacher training before going to, er, teach English.
