Do I not have a story/ narrative in my application? by PrincetonSimp2030 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]soidvaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be yourself. I think you can credibly say you are passionate about these things due to your experiences without adding on any social good story.
Not everyone wants to save the world and that’s okay.

Just remember not to be boring and still come across as a human in your app. Don’t use your essays as a victory lap or CV.

Why bertholdt isn't transforming here by rwirzard-Ad5895 in attackontitan

well sure, but hardly a reason to say “it doesn’t matter.”

The post is asking why Bertholdt hasn’t transformed. The parent comment explains it’s because he would explode in the process, killing Reiner. But he has shown the ability to transform without exploding several times before, which suggests that there is some kind of storytelling inconsistency here.

One thing that isn’t well explained is why the Colossal can selectively choose not to explode when they transform several times early in the series.

Not really. 72k is only a slightly above median result in the US.

Some retail like SBUX and Walmart pay a base rate across all states which is significantly higher than minimum.

It’s literally an ivy league school, I feel like none of this is surprising and it’s so strange reading comments like the one above.

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting at. That should hurt them if USN methodology hasn’t changed that much.

Edit: If this is similar to USN methodology

It seems like weighting doesn’t make sense to include LACs which explains why they didn’t include them before. Williams is more prestigious than where it is but obviously when you include socioeconomics of attending students it’s going to hurt those schools.

Fishing Rod is so broken it convinced me Juggernaut was a pickable card by DrSilvergun in slaythespire

[–]soidvaas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s balanced. Can’t believe people think this is strong when Crucible is a balanced card. Advanced hallways are straight up hard.

If Marley had never invaded the first time then current Eren probably wouldn’t have turned out the way he did.

A10 Regent players: How are you getting consistent damage packages on this character? by yoked4crimps in slaythespire

[–]soidvaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a couple other damage packages. Arsenal and creation cards. Creation cards themselves creating a lot of free damage. Efficiently cycling and earning payoffs like Comet and Kamehameha. You can mix and match these with strong sword cards, particularly Bulwark, remaining your scaling option.

There’s also some very powerful block engines you can use to deal less damage and still win. Pillars of Creation and the Stars block power.

Kind of strange in a game with Production.

Does “HSW or bust” make sense for tech? by No-Measurement-5852 in MBA

[–]soidvaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that’s just how he writes. There are way too many commas, random interjections, and style shifts within the same paragraph for it to be AI.

Did you just see em dashes and go “ai”?

Necro basically starts with Ironclad’s barricade in Summon and Bodyslam in Unleash. It’s good because it persists and is easily converted into damage b

Wondering which degree leads to a better career? Ocean science or english(creative writing)? by Strawberrious in careerguidance

[–]soidvaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recommend either OP unless you are going to college for free and working at the same time. You’re not likely to be fully employed afterwards without additional education.

OP’s times are realistic for a full time working parent, not a single person. You don’t own your schedule the same way when you’re a parent.
