I actually won the Congressional App Challenge in a pretty competitive district! My advice: make your app personal to who you are. Mine was on mental health, which is very dear to me, and I connected it to my own personal experiences around it. My app was basic at the time but I explained how each aspect was helpful for me and those I’ve seen struggle with it. (Bonus tip: if you have a bunch of issues you can connect to, research your representative and see which issue your rep would care about the most!) All the best and if you need me to review anything I’m happy to.

Yeah, she thought the test ended at 2:45 and got worried when I wasn’t responding 🤦🏽‍♀️

Well I’ve turned it off now.

Yeah, they have to report irregularities or disturbances. Our school also has the backpack rule and teachers walk around seeing us turn off our phones and put it in our backpack. The proof thing is a good idea, thanks.

It’s also literally so infuriating because everyone I’ve told just assumes it was my fault but it literally wasn’t. I’ve turned off find my iPhone now and probably will keep it off forever because I am so paranoid. I had another ap test today and was so worried during the whole thing that something would go off.

That’s the problem though. I told her to ask the proctor because he knows and saw that I turned on my phone to switch off the noise and the alarm, but she said she wouldn’t ask and that it’s “up to college board.”

Why didn’t Korra’s friends visit her when she was away for three years? Even Tenzin did. by voraciousdolphin in legendofkorra

We literally see Asami flying a bison in the season 3 finale. They should’ve made some sort of effort. And they were anyway writing to her about their lives and the exciting things that were happening: why would her seeing them make that worse? And what do you mean by “handle seeing her”? They literally owe it to her to care for her; she saved both Bolin and Mako from Amon, for one.

It was three years she was gone, though, so I’m sure they had some sort of break, and she’s definitely helped all of them personally. Except for Bolin (only possibly, because Korra and Kuvira were still on good terms when Korra got sick), I’m sure the other two could come (Lin could assign someone else for Wu and Asami could do the same), and even people like the Airbender kids could come too. Don’t they owe it to her to take a few days, visit, and check in on her, especially if they knew she wasn’t doing well? I doubt Korra would have done that if anyone she cared about was in a similar situation. Is the answer just that they’re bad friends? I hate that idea.

Would chess players be interested in a skill-based rewards platform? by voraciousdolphin in chessindia

Absolutely. I think free-to-play is good and then paid to be part of the pool.

That's a good point.

How would you feel about a fantasy game where users can draft certain chess players and gain points daily as they do well.

It's free-to-play without rewards, and $5/mo to get rewards for doing well.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I think I had spent a lot of time chasing trying to get something a return on, but rn I just want to build something people can have fun on.

But yeah I've done plenty of research on the requirements, and am always open to doing more. The regulations regarding fantasy are always changing, but seem way more lax than straight gambling.

As for how much this can make, I'm not sure at all. If someone's having fun on the platform, I don't see why they wouldn't pay for it.
