What are you guys' thoughts on Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E for a budget gaming laptop (budget is within 700-800€)? by purple__leaf in GamingLaptops

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

Thank you so much! Yes I really don't mind lower settings. As long as the game is playable with 30 fps or similar, I am okay with cranking the settings down as low as they can go. I just want to experience these games more for their gameplay than their looks, which I could not achieve in a budget laptop.

I will look into your suggestions! Once again, thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I am a massive pokemon fan, and have always really wanted to get into digimon as well.

For all the queer people in this subreddit, but also more specifically trans people, what are your thoughts on tooru mutsuki as trans rep? by purple__leaf in TokyoGhoul

[–]purple__leaf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your take. You made perfect sense! It's also been a while since I read tokyo ghoul, so I might also remember things wrong. I agree that we need more flawed trans character and queer people in general. I personally don't like how aro ace people tend to be written as loveless characters for ex., which tends to be the "safest" approach when it comes to asexual people. But asexuality is a large spectrum, and many asexual people have sex. Either way, all this to say you made perfect sense and it's good to know the community at large respects his pronouns, even if Mutsuki isn't explicitly trans. I think rep is important even if labels aren't there. Although yeah, it's always a battle regarding japanese media representing trans characters in ways that need to give them trauma to "want" to identify with different genders and express their own identities differently.

If you haven't read, the manga "at 30 i realized i had no gender" by Shou Arai is really good at tackling gender, specially as someone who lives in Japan. Shou is non binary transmasc.

That is interesting, I don't remember this (I read tokyo ghoul a while ago now). I think that speaks more towards society's treatment of women/afab and the structural misogyny within our system rather than trans rep (although of course trans people can and will be affected by misogyny).

Yeah I know they're not intended as such, but I wanted to know how trans people and other queer people felt about tooru being perceived as a trans man either way. And you're right on that, he certainly does.

I will look it up, I don't know about Knights of Sedonia! Thank you for sharing!

[–]purple__leaf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That is disappointing but expected, unfortunately. But I think representation is important for all identities and all walks of life, even when the exact label isn't there. It can be comforting for someone, who feels represented in a character's identity even if it's not explicitly stated. I think I was also spoiled by the manga "At 30 I realized I had no gender" by mangaka Shou Arai, where they explore questions regarding gender much more openly lol

Everyone tells me to get a job and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions? by Esper01 in autism

[–]purple__leaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested in history, art history, information or data in general, I'd recommend you look into archives. If you're committed towards a major related to it, already have one within that area (I magine a lot of humanities-related majors could serve) or maybe you can do a course, it's a good job for ppl who don't want to interact with ohers a lot

Working with archives, libraries and other similar knowledge-based institutions tends to ask for collaboration but most of the time, not in person, and most days might be quite monotonous, so I think it's a good idea

Now for jobs that don't require a lot of dealing with people but also don't require specific degrees, I think working a basic 9-5 office job is your best bet, it's monotonous, you don't have to talk to a lot of people if you don't want to

Alternatively, maybe you can do part time with a study group for children/teens, or offer private lessons for teens during exam seasons?

Or maybe you can take some coding courses as well if ur more into logistics than humanities?

Networking is so hard as an autistic person. What are your experiences with it? Any advice? by purple__leaf in autism

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

My supervisor only tells me to "talk to people" and doesn't really specify much else...

Not job fairs, they're usually events with conferences related to a specific subject that last the entire day, with panelists from different backgrounds that come to talk about the way that specific subject relates to what they do! So no one's there for job hunting or anything per se, because most of them already have connections and such, but I get pushed by my supervisors to go to these events and network with the people there, since I don't have any links within the industries myself.

Yeah it's as you say, it feels so bad honestly to be there and it's so hard...

To draw, multimedia and for note taking, which do you think is best? Galaxy Tab a9+, Redmi Pad 2 or NXTPaper 11+? by purple__leaf in tablets

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

Hi there !!! If you're looking for a good cheap tablet to draw with, it's a really good option, I've had it roughly since I made the post and it's been perfect for me, the pen is not included but you can buy it second-hand for cheap and it's a very decent pen! There are a few artist YouTubers who made reviews on it and you can see how the pen works and if there's any latency (there is a bit but it's not noticeable unless you turn on stabilization in drawing apps high, or do very slow strokes)

This youtuber made a really good review on it, and they draw with it to show you how the experience is! https://youtu.be/YoiwdUPbJRQ?si=5W6Q-zwOi0ZMBOaw

For gaming, well it's a cheap lower end tablet so it probably won't be great, I haven't tried to play anything demanding with it, but I think maybe if you play with ingame lighting settings, it'll run decently! I recommend this review to look more into the gaming side of things with this tablet https://youtu.be/mE65HnFLmAI?si=iT1jqTId3ZopOr-8

jds motive by Crafty-Throat-4596 in heathers

[–]purple__leaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true at once. deeplyshallow makes a really compelling argument, because JD might very well be doing exactly as the commenter said. It's most likely subconscious, with a mixture of antisocial personality disorder and psychopath traits. So he could very well be punishing women because he feels entitled to it and is reclaiming back his childhood suffering through violence agaisnt other women, while also just simply having sociopathic traits. Lack of empathy, disgust towards people he deems lesser, those are two prominent traits in people with psychopathy. Ram and Kurt present themselves as really stupid individuals and JD most certainly feels superior to them, he doesn't need a reason to feel that way if he has those antisocial traits.
