[young umbra]

but youll get used to it

I don't think there's one in my area

[true cedar]

If there is no other option, you'll have to condition yourself to ignore disruptive noises. Study as you would however, don't focus your attention to the noise. If you have noise-cancellation earbuds/headphones, use that.

To condition yourself, it will take multiple trials (days/weeks/months) to feel comfortable in such environments.
Try using music to mask those disruptive sounds and focus on the music.

[young umbra]

thank u
I'm also trying to study early like now when everyone is sleep

guys, How do you deal with that fear of you failure or not making It

[exotic tartan]

don’t think you should be in love with someone before you get together with them lmao

i apologize

[true cedar]

If you want someone to help you cope emotionally, I cannot help. If you want me to help you objectively, I will.

||You can either continue falling for her or learn from it. I don't want to delve too much into your personal life however, take this rejection as lesson. How was your relationship like, what did you do prior confessing, what motivated you to confess, what did that person give you that no one else did? Look at these questions realistically and do not answer them here, just do it in your head and journal them down.|| ||Relationships are complex. Some people might feel it and some don't, regardless of what they've said in the past.|| ||It's best to feel optimistic, do not let rejection get to your head. I heavily recommend trying rejection therapy--voluntarily asking for things that you believe will be rejected (however, to your surprise, it might be accepted).||

||I don't want you to think a lot about the negatives and the possibilities that could have led up to that point. I want you to change regardless how you feel. Rejection will always be there.||

However, it's best to talk with the person that you've asked, we do not know anything about your life or theirs.

[young umbra]

I tried, she doesn't want to talk

I did everything

[true cedar]

I suggest respecting it. Not everything will go your way, regardless how great you treated her.

[tight garnet]

Trust me if a girl says " im not looking for a relationship rn" she just dosnt like u . U have to move on. We have to say it that way because some guys can become creeps after rejection and because of the fear of getting stalked and stuff like that we try to be as polite as possible

[tight garnet]

Exactly.

[true cedar]

Sleep for now Raj. You are letting this get to your head.

[tight garnet]

Yea fr

[young umbra]

I don't think I can sleep tonight

[tight garnet]

If she said she likes u as a friend then ig u shud respect her .

People have their likes and dislikes

She does not have any control over it

[young umbra]

Ridhima hindi mai kahu tumhe

[tight garnet]

Thike

[young umbra]

Bahot efforts kiye maine

And I care for her so much

She never wants a relationship esa boli wo

So when I said theek bai

Hai

Future mai agar tune relationship kiya toh bataunga mai

Cause she told usko koi bhi ladka nahi chahiye shaadi hi nahi karni usko

[tight garnet]

Its not abt efforts its about interests.. a guy can care abt me but i just might not be attracted to him. The mind wants what it wants.

Nahi

[young umbra]

So I said mat karna ko relationship

No

[tight garnet]

I had a guy who was lowkey like this i just told him " i dont wanna be in relationship" because i didnt wanna reject him because i was scared . Now that i look back on it , i realised that it was mistake shudve just clearly said "NO"

When a girl says " no relationship" it mean " please leave me alone im too scared to reject u"

[young umbra]

Okay and my girl

I told her to clearly reject me

Clearly told her

Ki reject kar de

She said No

[tight garnet]

Haan fir uski galti hai

[young umbra]

Reject nahi karna usko

[tight garnet]

It not worth wasting time on this

Not at this age

[young umbra]

She wants me but also doesn't want me

[tight garnet]

Nahh man

Dont

Too young too naive ..ur not gonna find true love at this age

[young umbra]

Maybe

[tight garnet]

Once u start focusing on urself ull find the right person

[young umbra]

I was ready to do everything for her

[young umbra]

Also we both are 21 years old

[tight garnet]

Oh

[young umbra]

I already am focusing

[true cedar]

If I read this right, she enjoys talking to you as friends, she trusts you, however that doesn't mean she wants to have a loving relationship with you. You need to understand different types of relationships.

[young umbra]

Next year I'm going to IIT for mtech

[tight garnet]

Yes

[tight garnet]

Great congratulations

[young umbra]

I told her ki give time for her feelings towards me

Tbh I never want a relationship which I'm not sure of

[young umbra]

That's sad

[young umbra]

I still have to crack gate exam

My mental health is fucked up

[tight garnet]

U have to move on. Coz i dont think she will accept u .. her mind seems set on being friends

[young umbra]

But ridhima she was ready to feel for me

[tight garnet]

Shudnt really fk mental health over another person but ok..

[young umbra]

She said we are wasting time

[tight garnet]

How do uk she wasnt lying....

[young umbra]

Not because of her

[tight garnet]

In the end wt matters is that she only sees u as a frnd

U cant change that

[tight garnet]

Nvm then

[young umbra]

I have ocd paranoia etc

It hurts right now

[tight garnet]

Well then i shud definitely see a therapist

[young umbra]

Everything she said

[tight garnet]

Therapy helps a lot..if u have money coz its too expensive TT

[young umbra]

I don't have money, I live in rent

[true cedar]

We cannot solve your issues Raj, your relationship with your friend will take time to understand.
Ask yourself, why does she not want to talk, what was your relationship like the prior month.

[tight garnet]

Ahh nvm

[tight garnet]

Yup exactly

[young umbra]

Everything was perfect, she keeps changing her mood

[tight garnet]

Ig he wanted to vent

[true cedar]

If you need someone to help you emotionally, ask a friend.

[tight garnet]

Thats right

[young umbra]

I don't have anyone

Not a single friend

So i have a thinkpad t480p and i wanna upgrade it so that i can use it smoothly and maybe game sometimes on it too what should i get for it

Who I trust

[tight garnet]

Parents, classmate..

[young umbra]

anyone have any ideas on how?

[young umbra]

Classmate are just classmates

[true cedar]

What is your budget

[young umbra]

Parents I can't tell because of some history

[young umbra]

I’d say 300-500€

I’d stretch it out to 500

I just honestly mainly need it to run smoothly

And want a better screen

[tight garnet]

The screen is kinda ass ngl

[young umbra]

telling your parents regardless of which position they play always helps

[true cedar]

What type of brand do you like? Apple, MSI, Lenovo, etcc?

[young umbra]

it is but i like the thinkpad design too much

[tight garnet]

Fr

I have it too

My bro plays valorant on it

[young umbra]

lenovo and apple tbh

[young umbra]

Not with mine

im trying to change the screen

And

[young umbra]

look buddy

I dont know your whole story

[young umbra]

Not vent tbh

but if you’ve seriously fucked up your life so bad

Have no one to talk to

no friends

No connections

nothing

Seeking a therapist seems best

[tight garnet]

He dosnt have money

I also suggested a therapist

[young umbra]

online therapy prolly exists

[true cedar]

Locking In.

[young umbra]

AI does basically anything nowadays

[true cedar]

Thugging it Out

[tight garnet]

Watch some tate podcast

Ur gud to go

[young umbra]

Is this all about a girl ?

[tight garnet]

YUP

[young umbra]

😭

the world is bigger than this

you have your whole life ahead

She isnt the one if she left you

the one that stays is the one you’ll spend your life with

not these ones

[tight garnet]

Exactly ull find smn better

[young umbra]

learn to move forward in life

[tight garnet]

And stms being alone is better than having those toxic girls

[young umbra]

I knew some toxic girls before, she is the best I ever knew

[tight garnet]

And then ud be wishing u were single

[young umbra]

no way this isnt satire

[tight garnet]

Ull find better then

[young umbra]

i cant believe this

how old are you roughly

[tight garnet]

He said 21

[young umbra]

Raj

my gosh

[tight garnet]

I thought he was 18 for a sec

[young umbra]

you havent even spent close to half your life yet

go explore

[tight garnet]

Exactly

Thers so many girls out there

[young umbra]

you’re staying behind others

always remembering the same shadow

[tight garnet]

U can literally find a better one..do u wanna settle for less????

[young umbra]

Just said I had experience with some toxic girls in past

[young umbra]

It's not about that

[true cedar]

Not all women are toxic

[young umbra]

move on then lmao

[true cedar]

Maybe it's your area.

[tight garnet]

Tru tru

[young umbra]

i cant believe this

[tight garnet]

Who knows , u cud meet smn online or smtng??

[young umbra]

21 year old what are you studying

[young umbra]

Computer engineering

I'm a good student btw

You all judging too much don't you think

[young umbra]

computer engineering yet cant move on because of a couple of bad women he’s met

you have a very weak mind

what does even coming to this chat benefit you

In what way

[tight garnet]

No we just feel ur wasting ur time on this.

[true cedar]

We do not know anything about you, we do not intend to understand your entire background.

[young umbra]

you should be studying

[young umbra]

I have moved on before, but it happened again today

Focusing on your future

[young umbra]

I do actually

[young umbra]

move on again then

[tight garnet]

Block her or smtng

[young umbra]

what are u realistically going to gain from this

nothing

[true cedar]

We can only give you objective advice and that is all. We cannot help you on understanding how she is feeling.

[young umbra]

I wanted her in my life

going outside/studying doing other things

[tight garnet]

U cant be fixated on smn who wont give u a chance

[young umbra]

cool she doesnt want u

[young umbra]

I do all that

[tight garnet]

She dosnt want u in her life tho

[young umbra]

do it more then lol

I have my life balanced for fuck sake

you’ll regret every second

you spend on this phone

as a teen/young adults

[true cedar]

Go to the gym to distract yourself, do something PHYSICAL. Go run, go box a punching bag, do something that will exert your physical well-being to distract yourself

[tight garnet]

Gym

[true cedar]

I was writing about that..lol

[young umbra]

im going to go sleep

[tight garnet]

Yes working out is the best

[young umbra]

I stopped gym from last month

absolutely horrifying what this generation has become

i’m truly disappointed

[tight garnet]

Start again

[tidal anvil]

damn you starting to sound like a boomer

[tight garnet]

We tried to help u raj

[tidal anvil]

guy got his heart broken, allow him to be dramatic for a moment

[young umbra]

heart broken from what

[tight garnet]

Now it depends on what u choose to do - either be sad or make the biggest comeback ever

Be better

In all aspects

[young umbra]

she doesnt wanna be with him in the first place

[tidal anvil]

maybe you dont understand feelings masashi

[tight garnet]

Make her regret everything

[young umbra]

i do

ive experienced an actual heartbreak

from what i hear this guy is a loser

[young umbra]

I will do this for myself first, she will regret someday losing me

[tidal anvil]

unrequited love made the subject of so many poems, humans clearly suffer from it, don't try to minimise it

[tight garnet]

I think its just about ur priorities

[young umbra]

if you’ve actually experienced trauma

[tidal anvil]

woah okay see

calling someone a loser is not cool man

[young umbra]

you’ll go talk to someone professional

[tight garnet]

People have different priorities

[young umbra]

its factual

[tidal anvil]

this isnt trauma competition

[young umbra]

I am a loser maybe yeah, sorry to disappoint you

[true cedar]

Trauma is subjective, but if you aren't willing to understand and change, then there is nothing to do to help.

[tight garnet]

Fax

[young umbra]

if hes experienced the trauma he claims he has, he’d seek actual help instead of coming to a discord server

[young umbra]

Did I say I won't change?

he doesn’t wanna change

[young umbra]

dont want to

[tidal anvil]

you do realize he is still a stranger on the internet and you know nothing about him other than this, right? you sound arrogant

[true cedar]

Have you read anything I've written?

[young umbra]

I didn't say that, you're making it yourself

[tight garnet]

Look raj the final thing is u have the biggest motivation now . To prove that she missed out on u .

[young umbra]

Obviously I know

[young umbra]

The people in this chat have told him to seek help

This masashi guy is little bit crazy

[tight garnet]

Hey

[tidal anvil]

seek help like its that easy man. he went on discord to vent and look for advice, do you know his life, do you know if he's able to talk with someone else? can you show more empathy, what good it does to call him a loser and weak

[tight garnet]

Calling smn crazy who was trying to help u seconds ago isnt cool

[young umbra]

Yeah that guy is arrogant

[young umbra]

well i do know a little

his story

all empathy shown gets thrown away

[young umbra]

Yeah tried to helo by calling me a loser? What does he knows about me?

gets him nothing

[young umbra]

you call me arrogant yet dont read the whole conversation

[tight garnet]

Yea

[young umbra]

You didn't even read it

hes had many different options suggested all to which he responded with “no money” “no friends” etc

“Cant tell family”

[tight garnet]

Yea i agree

[tidal anvil]

i said you sound arrogant by the things you've said

[young umbra]

guys a student

[tight garnet]

Its not like masashi didn't help at all

He did try

[young umbra]

and you havent read the whole conversation, is what i said

Ridhima you should understand too that I'm not seeking any validation from him

[tight garnet]

But sadly it didnt work out

[young umbra]

The way he is toxic

I just thought I can talk here

I don't even use discord

[tight garnet]

Ya and we did try to help u

[young umbra]

you have the weakest mind i’ve seen in a while

[tight garnet]

Sam also did

[true cedar]

Raj we are all students, wanting to just better ourselves, academically.

[young umbra]

so many options

yet you just dont want help

[tight garnet]

Im actually just 18

So idek if i can give advice to u

[young umbra]

He didn't even read what I fucking said and asked it's about a girl

[tidal anvil]

i mean did you expect that a couple of words would suddenly make his feeling disappear in the matter of a few minutes? and you all get upset at him when he doesn't immediately feel better after your advice? this is so weird

[tight garnet]

But i still did because ik what a girl feels like

[true cedar]

I'm 18 aswell, I do not mind the advice I receive, I'll take it and try to integrate it into my life.

[young umbra]

That guy has some god complex, he said some good things I don't deny that

[young umbra]

this isnt the place to talk about such serious matters, either this guy is too stupid to understand or he is simple doing this act for attention

[young umbra]

Judging me again huh

Well

Keep it with yourself

[tidal anvil]

then just say that its not the place if its in the rules

[young umbra]

It was a mistake venting here

[tight garnet]

Im not saying that he shud say " omg thank u guys i dont like her anymore"
Im just saying we did give him suggestions but sadly it didnt work out which is fine. I never said that its not fine

[young umbra]

This isn’t venting

You’re harming yourself

[tidal anvil]

you could've stopped saying anything and ignored him if its not the place, why engage back?

[young umbra]

to make him realise his stupidity

[young umbra]

Don't remove the fact that guy is being rude

[tight garnet]

I think we all shud stop

[young umbra]

Stupidity?

[tidal anvil]

okay dude

[tight garnet]

Ye the loser part was rude

[tidal anvil]

and you say you're not arrogant

[young umbra]

its simply stupid to come here and talk about something so private

so traumatic

with students

[true cedar]

Raj, I'll leave you with this, being a good person doesn't mean "I deserve everything" (I know you don't mean this but it's the implication). You need to understand that being a good person is suppose to be the default for every person. You deserve to be happy, but you will not receive external pleasures everytime.

You need to know your actions is to live with yourself and with your conscience. You have to live with the sort of person you've decided to be, the people you've helped, the people you've hurt, how you've conducted your life.

You can change now. Ignore what is making you stressed and focus on who is trying to help you.

[young umbra]

not even in a venting server

[tidal anvil]

i don't need to read the whole conversation to see that you are since you're calling people stupid left and right

[young umbra]

1 person, with reason

“Dude”

[young umbra]

Calling me loser multiple time and stupid was rude too, I just tried to talk

[tight garnet]

Exactly!!!

[young umbra]

i simple ask of him to seek professional help

[true cedar]

Take it as you will, if you choose not to listen then there is no reason to help you anymore.

[tight garnet]

Thats what i just said 😭

[young umbra]

this isnt the way and he wont listen regardless of what anyone here says

[young umbra]

Okay

[tight garnet]

Asking smn to seek professional help isnt bad

[young umbra]

Many things other than that

[young umbra]

I denied that? Wtf you all talking

[tight garnet]

Its alright

U can ignore it

[young umbra]

@young umbra if your story is real hmu with a dm if you have actual problems and i can send you help actual ways either people that you could contact or because of your financial situation i could find websites for this kind of thing which will keep your information private tomorrow

you’re wasting your time here

[tight garnet]

I never said u denied it ....im just agreeing with him

[young umbra]

Ignore that guy, also I am taking no offense from just online chat

[young umbra]

Yeah

[tight garnet]

Yea

U shud check out the online sites

Sabh kuch theek ho jayega

Just stay calm and know ur true goal in life

[young umbra]

No need but thanks for asking, I tried goverment therapy but I got fucking medicines only so I stopped

[tight garnet]

Government?

[young umbra]

Hospital

[young umbra]

Okay

[tight garnet]

I meant i expected this from our government

[young umbra]

Theek hai

[tight garnet]

Yea

Take care yall

[young umbra]

It's time waste

[true cedar]

Raj, look back at our conversations and reflect. That is all I can say.

[young umbra]

I gave a doctor what I wrote on paper about what I feel

She didn't even read the 4 pages

She just read 1 and half and gave me medicines

Fucked up government hospital

[inland phoenix]

bro im fucking stuck in my room

[true cedar]

Use a flamethrower

[wide creek]

If I get too many assignments assigned at once I start feeling overwhelmed, is there a way to combat this?

[true cedar]

The longer you procrastinate on deciding on which one you have to start on, the longer you get nothing done.

If they are all exhausting and boring, choose the one that is more better to study or work on.
If one is due tonight, work on that one.
Generally, just choose one and work your way from there.

[inland phoenix]

i feel like a lot of ppl overestimate what they can accomplish within a day so that would mean you would need to work on the assignments early on

if they are urgent assignments, declare that this week is going to be hell week and next week is going to be rest week and just grind through hard

[wide creek]

thats good thanks

[wide creek]

ima start using that hell week term

thanks

[wide creek]

now that I think about it I waste atleast 2 hours watching youtube so that could be some time to work

[blazing elk]

Hey guys, I confront a problem and I can't find out a good solution for it.
I'm computer engineering student and although my English is okay but it isn't my first language. That's why I take long time to study from text books. videos seem not sufficient enough, I ask students who have English as a second language. What is your strategy in studying various courses

[analog condor]

Are you studying the course in english completely or just have some english mixed in there for the math and stuff?

like, you can't really avoid this. Improve your english and translate on the go

[white walrus]

does anyone have any tips for getting an on campus job?

[inland phoenix]

heavily suggest cold emailing employers/professors for the role

i have 3 friends who did that and they all found success

[white walrus]

That’s a good idea. What kind of things did your friends include in the email?

[inland phoenix]

so lets say you want to do research in robotics, you would personally find any profs that do something close to robotics or something and email them saying who you are, what you are interested in, and asking if you can help out or something. You could also request them to refer you to someone if they don't offer any postions

[white walrus]

Thank you. That helps a lot. 😊

[sullen flame]

Tbh sometimes I really can't understand myself.

[rigid trench]

there are some whores in this house

[gritty moss]

I think making flashcards is too much time consuming, what do you think ?

[minor oak]

I think so too, I prefer to just make a formula sheet as I'm taking notes and just review using that

[true cedar]

It really depends on what type of class it is. Some classes want people to think more holistically rather studying flashcards.

I know some of my peers make flash cards during lecture to reduce time wasted.

[wide creek]

making actual flashcards is waste of time

theres prolly a quizlet set already made for any subject

[sullen flame]

Bro what-

[crisp scaffold]

how do i stoping being so tired, like after school i have sports, so when i come home im like really tired, how do i aviod this, cause like half the time its nothing too bad like maybe a 30 min run

[wild ridge]

Make them with a laptop it’s the fastest

And make sure they are the most efficient use of your time studying the subject

Other than that don’t waste your time with them

Or you can import ones already there on the subject

[wild ridge]

Do your work early in the morning (wake up really early and have 3-4 hours for productive work before school)
Get used to it

[upper delta]

for some reason i cant focus on studying

ive been in front of my computer for 9 hours straight studying

i might take a break for a bit

[gritty moss]

Okay, I’d prefer using active recall tho

[gritty moss]

That’s only for lessons that I need to memorise by heart

[gritty moss]

I am currently in highschool so this is not possible atm :/

[gritty moss]

But each lesson depends on each prof (I am in highschool so exams are very specific)

[gritty moss]

Try doing hw before school

[strong hawk]

hi everyone i have a school project and its a regional project between all the arab countries its about building a science project and if i win ill have the opportunity of traveling to nasa and and ill see my project going to the international space station but i really need help can some1 help me please

[gritty moss]

Yes I talked about digital ones, and the thing is I put every piece of information of the lesson in my flashcards so maybe it’s inefficient

[wide creek]

which class?

if its AP u can search up term lists for each unit and make flashcards based on that

[gritty moss]

History and geography

What does AP mean ?

[desert pine]

Advanced placement

[gritty moss]

this concept doesnt exist in my country or atleast in my school

[desert pine]

America system

[gritty moss]

oh okay

i'm not from there

[wide creek]

hm

for both of those only make flashcards on things u have no idea about

if you know a concept at a decent level don't waste your time on it

[gritty moss]

okay ty

For example I have a lesson of 50 pages and it takes me about 10 mins to flashcard one page so yeah it takes a lot of time

[ancient copper]

Hey, so I'm really interested in reading and I'm thinking about buying an e-book reader thing. I know a few sites to read basically every e-book for free (with epub files) , but I don't know which device would be compatible to import those files. Anyone who can help??

[crisp scaffold]

unfortunately i can’t really do that without messing up my sleep cuz my dinners at like 10:30 and cant do much to change that ☹️

is there anything else that i can do

[red wind]

you could try drinking something with caffeine in it and listening to upbeat lyricless music while working (if it doesn’t distract you)

be careful with the caffeine tho idk how ur tolerance is with it

may mess up your sleep if you take it too late into the day

[wild ridge]

It’s pretty inefficient

[crisp scaffold]

yeah i’ll probably just do that then, thanskq

[strong hawk]

hi everyone i have a school project its about building a science project if the project good enough my project will be taken to the international space station DM if u want to help

[tidal sonnet]

hey any idea on social media addiction

[ruby flame]

sup guys im new
and im wondering
where can watch or join James Scholz stream

!

[drowsy lynx]

[wild ridge]

Uninstall

[young umbra]

hey

guys I need help

My friend is using the wifi without her dad knowing and he got an app that shows the devices connected
Is there a way to hide her phone from that app

[drowsy lynx]

I just reinstalled the app, the issue persists

[tight garnet]

I just use an apk

I used to have a lot of issues with Spotify. I had enuf of it and decided to use apk

[tight garnet]

U can install google play books and install ur ebook on that, so as long as the device has google play store ur gud to go..

[tight garnet]

Oooh its either ur diet thats the problem or your sleep schedule..coz i was facing the same issue .... At that time i wasnt eating very well and my sleep schedule was messed up.. once i fixed that it worked.

[crisp scaffold]

might try that, thanks

[prime escarp]

I'm broken and can't get shit done until I have the deadline looming over my head 🥲
I wanna get better but nothing else motivates me

What to dooooooo

[worldly river]

Find whats driving you to be better instead of looking for motivation.

[cloud rose]

Can someone help with a riddle

[unborn willow]

healthy gamer gg procrastination videos. procrastination is a form of anxiety/ fear of failure

[prime escarp]

Ty for the reminder, have seen a couple of his vids and hadn't specifically looked at his channel.. could say I was also procrastinating that too 🫠

[wild ridge]

Man up bro

The world isn’t going to wait for you, just get stuff done and don’t stop

[prime escarp]

I do get it done, I just waste so much time trying to get it done early but it always just ends up being last minute

Just aspire to one day not do everything last minute

[gloomy wharf]

Sup

[upper delta]

app?

[noble ice]

app

[flat prism]

app?

[young umbra]

anki?

yeah it's anki, but you need to install some plugin

[wintry rune]

Hey everyone, I'm working on a project that involves simulating Arduino circuits in Proteus. Does anyone here have experience with Proteus and could help me troubleshoot some issues I'm having? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[jovial iron]

Hi. Does anyone here have a chegg membership? I need solution to one link

[tight garnet]

Watching death note motivated me to studyy better but that wud be counted as procrastination rn. Watch some alpha sigma male videos where the talk abt how discipline > motivation and that if u work now u wont have to suffer later and ull be better than ur peers .

[exotic coral]

im thinking about to buy a kindle to study. reading pdfs of books, articles, etc. is it a good idea?

[analog condor]

it has nothing to do with studying
just for reading books (unless you need to read books for uni i guess)
articles? I dunno if they can convert well to .mobi or .epub

You download epub or mobi files, and if you can't find any, convert a pdf to mobi/epub using Calibre, but it's usually not the best

[exotic coral]

i read usually chem books and they're really heavy. so, do you think kindle is a option or its better to get the physical books?

thank you!!

[iron apex]

Anyone from accounting department

I am Saba from Bangladesh 21 year old BBA 1st year accounting student I want to focus on my studies my test exam starts from29 April🙂

[tight garnet]

Hey guys idk why but im always so sleepy , i can sleep for 12 hrs and still feel sleepy. Idk whats ths issue or how to stop because i sleep so much in the day i end up sleeping at 3am in the night and getting up at 11 am which isnt very gud

[young umbra]

For big textbooks, a tablet is usually better

Kindle is great for texts in general, but textbooks are weird cuz they have the main text and then boxes of test to the side, and images in varying sizes etc.

Other than that kindles are great for pretty much everything

[topaz wren]

I know that i will never meet anyone here irl (98%), so lemme state my problem knowing that here nobody would affect me irl, i go to a coaching ( or say school ), there the classes are there from 9am to 1:20 pm, the school doesn’t give any bus services and it is located 18 km away from my nearest bus stop, the bus stop is 1.75km away from my home, so every morning whenever there is class, i wake up at 6:30 am and get ready till 7:15 am then i go from my home to the nearest bus stop ( takes me about 10 mins ) the bus system is not fix, so i sometimes do taxi, it takes me about 1 hr to get there, then i have to walk about 1km to get to the coaching, now the time is 8:30 - 8:45, now i attend the classes and then after resolving all the doubts related to the topics i head to the nearest bus stop of the coaching, i have to walk 1km, the time now is 1:30 pm, now i sometimes get the bus to home otherwise i do taxi, takes about 1.25 hours, then i walk to home , now the time is 2:45 - 3:00, now i rest and eat dinner till 4:00 then i start studying from 4 - 9 :30 then i eat dinner, after eating dinner, i study from 10 to 11:30, then i sleep till 12, and again wake up at 6am and the cycle continue,

My problem is exhaustion and less study hours, i am able to study only 4+7 = 11 hours, whereas, if the transport is reduced i can study for 13-14hours, please give suggestions to improve my timetable for more study hours and tips for not being exhausted will be appreciated

[sullen briar]

thats a lot of studying

[topaz wren]

Still not enough

I have to cover the syllabus of 2 years in 6-8 months

[tight garnet]

Thats so real .

The travel is so exhausting and such a waste of time

I totally understand this

Are u allowed to take ur phone to coaching?

Wt i wud do is id record myself the previous night explaining a topic or asking questions. And then id listen to it on the bus next day .

It kinda helps to revise some topics

So its not a total waste of time

I was in the same situation last year so i wud just try to review flashcards on my phone or listen to a recording

[worldly river]

Was in the same situation, I stopped going coaching at october. If you can be more productive at home than at coaching then I would recommend not to go.

[iron apex]

I have to cover the syllabus of 1 year in less than 2 months

[topaz wren]

Yes

[topaz wren]

That’s a nice way to utilise the time, we basically made a revision podcast kinda

[topaz wren]

How are you going about it then

[topaz wren]

I will ask the teachers to let me attend live on zoom

[tight garnet]

Oh yea thats the best idea

[iron apex]

Tbh I don't know it's actually my test exam I am gonna fail I guess but I can't focus on my studies right now passing the exam is my target so that I will be allowed to participate in the board exam

[wild ridge]

Rip Brodie

[bold mantle]

For the past few weeks i have been experiencing extreme nausea (without vomiting) to the point that it affects my everyday life. I keep carrying plastic bags around me, i am afraid to go out, i cant sleep or eat properly. I used to think that it was emetophobia but the symptoms got worse and my nausea won't stop. My mind keeps thinking about it and i cant relax. Mayev the cause is anxiety or another mental disorder? Idk, please tell me your thoughts or help me if you have experienced similar things

[young umbra]

Have you gone to a doctor?

I mean, probably

But you didnt mention it so im asking just in case

[bold mantle]

I have gone to a doctor and did some tests like blood tests and stuff. He says it might be neurological, cardiological or psychological

[young umbra]

Lmao

Whats his degree in, statistics?

What did he say

[young umbra]

Tbf nausea could be a whole lot of things

From food going down the wrong way

To cancer

To pregnancy

To maybe nothing at all

Ask your doctor to be more specific

[bold mantle]

Yes that's probably what i will do because it is very difficult to live my life like that ._.

[young umbra]

But what did he point out in the blood results

[bold mantle]

Nothing at all. That why he is leaning towards psychological causes

[young umbra]

Blood tests dont show much tho

Did he ask for any other exam

[bold mantle]

He did but if i want to do all of them i have to go to the hospital for a whole day to do all of them ;-;

[young umbra]

Aight listen

Strong nausea, you can barely live out your day, and no vomiting ever comes out

Id suggest doing the exams

I have no patience too lmao

Last time my doctor asked for a list of exams I only took the blood one and went home

But then again your case seems way more serious

[bold mantle]

Hahahahah same

At the end of the day i will do them since i cant concentrate on my studies or anything at all

[young umbra]

How long have you been feeling like that

[bold mantle]

The feeling started one year ago. It started for a month then it stopped for quite a while and then it came back stronger since the start of February.

But sometimes it stops, sometimes it come back. But it has been nonstop for almost 2 weeks now

[young umbra]

Any guess why?

Did you notice any pattern?

Also are you using any hormonal stuff?

Antibirth meds for instance, even just to treat something

[bold mantle]

No hormonal stuff. And the pattern is very random :/

[young umbra]

Good

Take no hormonal stuff

Destroys your body

[young umbra]

No pattern at all?

Maybe if you drink milk

Or eat chocolate

Or use some specific makeup

[bold mantle]

Hmmm, sometimes it comes back when i get stressed a lot. I dony have an issue with any food snd i rarely wear makeup

I used to think it happened from eating sweets but that's not the case anymore

[young umbra]

Alright thats something

Have you been stresses out lately for any reason?

Any reason that wasnt there until 2 weeks ago

[bold mantle]

I have my final exams coming in May that will determined wheter i will go to my dream university or not

[young umbra]

That reason was probably there before 2 weeks ago tho

[bold mantle]

But the thing is i don't feel stressed enough to be nauseous you know

[young umbra]

Thats nothing

Sometimes we feel calm and chill

And yet our body screams stress

[bold mantle]

Oh really?

[young umbra]

Although strong nausea for a long time is def not common

You mentioned anxiety

No need to go into details

But do you have any reason to feel anxious rn?

[bold mantle]

I have two test coming up but i am prepared for them...

[young umbra]

Had a discussion with a family member?

Maybe something regarding a dude you like?

[bold mantle]

Oh i also went to a gynecologists to see if its due to my period being very late but it has nothing to do with that

[young umbra]

Or idk global warming

[young umbra]

Aight hol up

Unless your periods are naturally lacking a pattern, this could mean something

[bold mantle]

Ahahahaha i don't have a dude that i like currently. And i have talked about my exam anxiety with my parents. They are understanding and helpful in any way they can

[young umbra]

Could it be that its somehow connected to your periods?

[bold mantle]

Yeah they don't have a pattern and i thought there was something wrong down there but the doctor said that everything is normal (btw there is no way i am pregnant )

[young umbra]

Ive seen girls have some severe reactions sometimes

[bold mantle]

I also did hormonal tests and everything was alright

[young umbra]

Dw not every late period means pregnancy

[young umbra]

Good job

Not that common

The amount of dudes with low t levels is mental

[bold mantle]

Yes thats what i heard too

[young umbra]

Its the truth

A while ago I met this kid in a shopping mall

Looked so much like a girl and a child at the same time I went there to ask his age

He was my age

I was stupefied

Bless him, may he regulate his T

[bold mantle]

Anyways i am trying to eat more fruit and vegetables, i starrted taking vitamin supplements. I hope it works out. If it doesn't i will have to go to thw hospital for a day and he checked out

[bold mantle]

LOL

[young umbra]

Tbf I would still go to the hospital if I were you

If you cant see a pattern, its hard to know if the measures you are taking will be meaningful

[bold mantle]

Hmmm isn't there a genetical condition-anomally like that? Klinefelter syndrome ?

[young umbra]

There is

Not only that one

But Klinefelter's gives some signals

He just looked extremely unmanly

Klinefelter is more

Evident

[bold mantle]

Hmmm i hope he is fine :/

[young umbra]

He seemed alright

I mean maybe he is just gay and it was a choice

Who knows

Anyway yeah go do your exams

Being sick and preferring to stay sick than having the patience to go through hospital bureaucracy is a vibe tho

[bold mantle]

Oh true i forgot about that ;-;

[bold mantle]

Hahahahaha it truly is ! I will update ya if i go :/

[young umbra]

If?

Mf theres no if

Go

[bold mantle]

AHhahha okie okie i will

I took an anti-acid med

i didn't have an antiemetic

It will help me with the thought at least

[young umbra]

Lmao

Women never cease to amaze me with how much yall will withstand pain for no reason

Do take care not to eat a lot tho

And drink plenty of water

Dont die

[subtle mural]

dont take my word for it, but check if ZenMarket can ship it.

do ur research tho

[silent kettle]

okay we got a problem small one maybe im unemployed and on it studies is it possible to learn more bout coding and get a job in 2 months

[tropic zenith]

Nope

it's not possible

[silent kettle]

maybe not to get a job most likely internship

[tropic zenith]

where you from?

it all boils down to your country and from the place you are asking this question

[silent kettle]

poland

[tropic zenith]

Good place to be in

[silent kettle]

thx

but today i become unemployed

pretty sad

but im still 19 this year 20

so it will be easy to find next job

not it

[tropic zenith]

what's your tech stack?

[silent kettle]

what

[tropic zenith]

what all languages you know?

[silent kettle]

basic stuff on c# and kotlin

and intermediate on sql

[tropic zenith]

that sounds cool

have you done any projects ?

[young umbra]

yooooo does anyone know of any habit tracker that has a desktop application component ty

[solar mesa]

I also want to know

[wide creek]

are there any free habit trackers? Habitify or whatever its called only allows a few habits

[young umbra]

yeah loop

but its only on mobile

most of the good habit trackers are phone only unfortunately

i really want one that has a desktop application download

cause i dont like it when i can access stuff only on my phone

and i also dont like it when i have to use a browser to get to it

[wide creek]

alright thanks

[wide creek]

is it from microsoft?

[young umbra]

i dont know

prob not

[wide creek]

I don't see it then

[young umbra]

wdym

[wide creek]

theres only microsoft loop

[young umbra]

its called loop habit tracker

maybe its not on ios

theres a lot of habit trackers on phone im sure u can find one

[wide creek]

yea its not

[wide creek]

I keep downloading them and after I add like 3 or 4 habits a whole bunch of premium ads pop up

im not tryna pay for an app if all im doing is pressing a few buttons a day lol

[young umbra]

i think streaks is one a lot of people like

thats on ios

[wide creek]

streaks

ok ill try it

thanks

to even download it its 6 bucks

rip

[young umbra]

lol

i never used an ios phone so dont know any good ones

but there prob is one

[wide creek]

ripp

lmao, thats mental

[tidal anvil]

Hey guys my desktop won’t work on my monitor i even changed cables and tried to plug the laptop it worked but the desktop the screen stays black, Is the ram related because it all started when i took the ram off the clean them because one wasn’t working i have 2 chips of 8 gibs.
I removed the cmos battery for 5 mins i pressed the power button for 5 mins(Didn’t work It says check signal cable after i pressed the on button on the screen ) i tried a different port and it’s still not working my cpu is ryzen amd 4300 ge with an integrated graphics card so i only have displayports that are linked to the motherboard if that help ( please anyone suggest what should i do i really have important work to finish on it :(..)

[tidal anvil]

techy computer hardware experts pls help if you can !

[noble ice]

ask somewhere else. tom's hardware forum or something like that

[honest sky]

do you have graphic drivers installed? But still ask tom’s hardware or the geek squad 😂

[swift cape]

Turn everything off and make sure everything inside is connected.

[tidal anvil]

thank you guys !

[spare gull]

You should check if your ram is faulty or not, try inserting RAM A and turn it on , if it's on then RAM A is fine but if not then you have to replace it, repeat the same process for RAM B only , the black screen is mostly related to ram issue

Also loosely inserted RAM can also cause this issue

[noble thistle]

expense tracker services recommendations?

[young umbra]

Hey i tried RAM A and B in both sockets switched them.. doesn’t seem to work

[spare gull]

If you have tried both of the ram individually and it still doesn't work, there is a high chance that your ram has been damaged during cleaning. What did you use for cleaning your ram?

If possible use another ram (working) and see if the system boots up , if yes then your old rams are faulty if no then something else is wrong in the system

But honestly it's better to take it to the repair shop, let the expert handle the situation

[pseudo warren]

Can someone help me in #science-help

[young umbra]

The more ramifications, the easier to boil.

Find the main structure and then count the branches

[pseudo warren]

?

[young umbra]

Those zigzag lines represent molecules

Identify the main structure

Then identify the branches

Count the branches

The more branches, the easier to boil

Then rank the molecules

You have your answer

[pseudo warren]

Ok so for the first one the main structure is just 2 zigzags

[young umbra]

No

Ok picture this

[pseudo warren]

Wdym

[young umbra]

Imagine I have a straight line

[pseudo warren]

Yea

[young umbra]

Each end of the line means an atom of carbon (C)

And we'll assume that it is stabilized by however many hydrogen atoms it needs (H)

[pseudo warren]

Hmm ok

[young umbra]

Carbon can make 4 links

[pseudo warren]

Yea

[young umbra]

If it is connected to another carbon on one side, it is linked to 3 H

If it is linked to another carbon on two sides, it is linked to 2 H

Basically, just count the amount of links the carbon has

And whatever is left to make 4 links, attribute that to Hydrogen

So when you have a zigzag line

Each "end of line" represents a carbon

So it starts with a carbon

[pseudo warren]

Ok so the order would be C>A>B then

[young umbra]

Then it zigs, another carbon

[young umbra]

Yeag

No

C B A

[pseudo warren]

Why

Wait so A has the highest boiling point?

[young umbra]

The main structure is the biggest, the longest

Find the longest zigzag line

Whatever is out of it, thats a branch

So C has 2 branches (boils easier)

A has 0 branches (hard to boil)

B has 1 (intermediary)

[pseudo warren]

So A has the highest boiling point because it has the most carbon and hydrogen links

[young umbra]

So C B A

[young umbra]

No, because it has 0 branches

[pseudo warren]

Oh it is the main structure

[young umbra]

Think of it as "A is more stable"

[pseudo warren]

Ohh

[young umbra]

Therefore I need to pump in more energy to break it

Not the molecule itself, but the links between molecules

[pseudo warren]

Ohh that makes sense

[young umbra]

Organic Chem is hard at first

[pseudo warren]

Wait but the question asks to rank in order of increasing boiling point

[young umbra]

But once you get the gist of it its ultra cool

Almost got into chem college myself

[pseudo warren]

Damn nice

[young umbra]

Yeah, C is easier to boil

A is harder

So C B A

[pseudo warren]

Omg that makes sense it just clicked

Since A is more stable is is harder to break it apart

[young umbra]

Calm down

Breaking a molecule is one thing

Breaking links among molecules is another thing

[pseudo warren]

What’s the difference

[young umbra]

I need some energy to break the links, and doing so will change the physical state (solid, liquid, gas)

I need way more energy to break the molecule itself, and doing so will generate new molecules (new substances) altogether

[pseudo warren]

Ok I get what u mean

[young umbra]

Relax just keep this in the back of your mind and keep practising

It will make sense later

[pseudo warren]

ok thank you

how do u know this tho fluently

[young umbra]

In high school I liked org chem

Then I had to pick it up again later to take an exam for the military

Out of all STEM subjects, org chem was my favorite

Its pretty cool when you start to understand it, because its just so easy to get into flow and lose hours and hours solving stuff

Unfortunately where I live it is really not that good of a career choice

But if I lived in the US, for instance, def something pretty cool to study and work with

[pseudo warren]

wow thats very interesting

can i ask you another question

[young umbra]

Go ahead

[pseudo warren]

What is this😭

Btw if ur wondering this is practice for our test coming up on Monday

But I’m so lost on these line formulas😭

[young umbra]

Its a model

Its a way to represent reality in a simplified fashion

Just practice it and it will become natural

Think of it as learning a language

[pseudo warren]

So how do I figure out the answer to this

How would I do it

[young umbra]

So, names of molecules follow a formula

Based on the amount of carbons, links, types of links, types of branches etc.

Hmm hold on Im rusty

Lemme think

[pseudo warren]

Ok np

[young umbra]

Its D

Ok basically

You have to read the zigzag lines

And according to the "characteristics" of the molecule's structure, to its "design", you will name it

Count the main chain of carbons, and assign a number to each carbon

Since we have a double link, you start counting from the nearest end to that double link

At the third carbon, we have a branch called "methyl"

At the fourth we have a branch called "ethyl"

We have 7 carbons in the main chain, so we name it "hept"

[pseudo warren]

Hmm so from what I’m getting you have to memorize the formation of these lines to identify the element

[young umbra]

And a double link at carbon 2, which means its name ends with an "ene" (different types of links have different types of names)

Putting all of this together, you will say which carbon has what and that will be the name

4-ethyl

3-methyl

Hept

2-ene

4-ethyl-3-methylhept-2-ene

At the end of the day it is a code

[young umbra]

You have to learn how to read them

[wide creek]

anyone have tips on not getting back pain from sitting too long while studying?

if I even study for 20-30 mins I get this tension in my back

I think my posture is good too so idk

[young umbra]

Good chair, stretch, go for a walk, exercise frequently

[pseudo warren]

Ok I understand

Do have a recourse on where I can learn it from

[wide creek]

I see thanks

[young umbra]

Honestly your school must have provided some material

In case it hasnt

Youtube has a lot of dudes giving classes on everything chem

Theres also chatgpt

Chatgpt is goated

Esp if you have premium cuz you can use a chem specialist gpt

[balmy spear]

i dont know if this is the right channel to talk about this, but im currently in my first year of university ( computer engineering ) and in the first semester i have failed three out of five subjects, and the next finals are in about a month and half or so. I kinda feel like a failure and im trying to spend much more time into this but, although i think it is better than the previous semester, i still dont understand some things and i dont know what to do honestly, i dont know if i'm even doing things correctly. Teachers don't actually explain much or well, and there is very limited information on the internet. Is there still hope?

[young umbra]

Failing in uni isnt that bad and since u r still a freshman it's normal to struggle at first and actually u r doing great buddy
Knowing ur mistakes and correcting them and being on the right path is great tbh
1.5 month is quite good time
But tell me what mistakes u have been doing and what did u do to fix em

[noble thistle]

There is quite literally a channel named The Organic Chemistry Tutor 😆

[pseudo warren]

What’s that

[marsh trench]

I reached 1305 elo in blitz this month and it was my peak elo. I enjoyed chess at that time and I was enjoying chess at that time and then I lost some 50 elo and then I still felt good as I never thought that I would reach 1000 in blitz and I reached 1250 and it was still good. I already had a few games of daily chess going on and suddenly 22 games of daily chess championship round 2 started and I just got very exhausted because I had so many games to play and I withdrew from 2 daily tournaments because of exhaustion. I stopped enjoying chess anymore. I took a break of 6 days ig and I thought why not to give one more try and I lost so badly in a rapid game of 25+10 game against a player who was lower elo than me by 100+ elo points. I played one blitz game against a opponent that day too. It was a perfect game before my one wrong move. I made one mistake and I lost the game. I had 92% accuracy in that game but I still lost.
I am not sure what should I do, I decided to quit chess forever but I can't do that because I love this community and also I love to follow chess.
I want to ask should I take a break or not and if I should. How long?

[glacial galleon]

seems like ur issue is pride

take a break and learn to deal with that

[marsh trench]

wdym ?

[young umbra]

Honestly this just seems like a slump

Relax it aint the end of the world

Rest a bit

Go back

Be prepared to lose a lot

And youll eventually get back to your former performance

[gentle merlin]

thanks

anyone here study medicine at charles university in czech reublic?

[marsh trench]

The fall was just 50 points people lose 150-200 points on their slump but idk what happened to me once I lost 130 points and I was still playing

[merry bluff]

does anyone know from where i can obtain ncurser liberary for c
a link or something

[dreamy thorn]

are there any forest alternatives because i really don't want to pay to sync my data across different devices cause im a cheapskate

[young umbra]

Why do you want forest in the first place tho

[torn crest]

Is there a study room with rain sounds?

[young umbra]

what does even forest do ?

[wide creek]

anyone know a method to completely quit video games

too much time is being wasted on a character that does not exist

[young umbra]

Uninstall everything

Throw it away

Give your steam account to a friend to change passwords

And always meditate on the fact that it is a waste of time and a child's toy

[wide creek]

this ones good

its like that atomic habits thing to make it impossible

thanks

i forgot abt that

lol

[young umbra]

No

Its not enough

[wide creek]

oh

[young umbra]

You will just install it again

Uninstall it

And make sure you dont have access to your account ever again

[wide creek]

i dont have any friend i would truyst my account with

[young umbra]

Trust?

Dont you want to give it up for good?

Why do you need someone trustworthy?

Give it away

[wide creek]

should I just delete my

account

but then thousands

of dollars

are gone

[young umbra]

I dont think that is possible

[young umbra]

Another thing to think about

You dumped thousands of dollars on that

[wide creek]

oh yea

holy

[young umbra]

A silly drug that turns men into children

[wide creek]

have u quit video games

[young umbra]

Yeah

[wide creek]

how long ago

[young umbra]

I started the fight about two years ago

[wide creek]

ah nice

[young umbra]

Would spend months without touching it

Then I would install things again

And then uninstall

And install

[wide creek]

have u relapsed recently?

[young umbra]

Until one day I uninstalled it all and gave it to my friend

[wide creek]

ah I see

[young umbra]

Since then there is only peace

[wide creek]

have u felt more productive in ur boredom

[young umbra]

I dont even want it back

[young umbra]

You wont get more productive if you dont plan it out

You get more time, more focus, you reclaim the maturity you are supposed to have by your age

But if you dont use it, its useless

[wide creek]

how do u recommend planning things out? I always plan things out and if I even miss one thing it throws me off the rest of the day

[wide creek]

time and focus what I need

[young umbra]

Brother thats complex

All I can say is

Firsr have a clear north

A clear place where you want to be or a clear thing you want to achieve etc

Then see what you have to do to get there

[wide creek]

should I make it as precise as possible

[young umbra]

Then determine what you need to do daily

[wide creek]

even it its small

[young umbra]

And then flesh out some time every day to do it no matter what

Now heres the thing

You will be lazy sometimes

Unfocused

Unmotivated

Just do your best and dont care if you failed

[wide creek]

is this sort of the thing with james video where he talks about his drive

[young umbra]

Get up and keep going

[young umbra]

Idk I dont remembwr

[wide creek]

Thats good advice

Whenever I fail something I feel all down

[young umbra]

Yes

But when its time to execute

Dont claim perfection

"good enough" is good enough

[wide creek]

I see

[young umbra]

With time and experience youll polish the sides, become more efficient, more focused

[wide creek]

I want to study 6+ hours a day, right now I can barely do 2 with willpower alone

is it sort of like working out

where as I progress I will be able to do more

[young umbra]

Yes and no

Its a different world altogether

But do you get "stronger"?

Yes

Do you get "addicted"?

Yes

But intellectual effort has its own challenges

[wide creek]

thanks for the paradigm shift

Ima find a way to delete my steam account

[young umbra]

Ah dw thats alright

I remember when I struggled to get an hour in

[wide creek]

I've deleted social media as well a few weeks ago

[young umbra]

Once I got 5h and I was like "yooo that was ultra productive"

Nowadays 5h is the average

[wide creek]

I just need to defeat video games and tv shows

[wide creek]

damn thats where I want to vbe

be

5 hours of studying would be like all homework done + extra learning

[young umbra]

Just keep doing it and it will eventually become your average

[wide creek]

what are your high days?

[young umbra]

Ah

The best day I had

I had to finish polishing my thesis

I think I got 13-14h in

[wide creek]

[young umbra]

But like

It was a good day, I was pumped and I needed it done right then

[wide creek]

[young umbra]

Normal days it goes 5h av

[wide creek]

oo being pumped on certain days and then other days feel horrible

[young umbra]

Yes

[wide creek]

do you know how to overcome this

Like this week

[young umbra]

Patience

Just keep doing it

And dont stress

Dude honestly

These last 2 days were horrible in so many ways

[wide creek]

mine too

[young umbra]

But Ive been through this and I know what to do

[wide creek]

ah experience pays

[young umbra]

So tomorrow is probably going to normalize it again

[wide creek]

do you use the chaining method?

like making streaks

of habits

[young umbra]

No clue what that is

[wide creek]

like habit apps

[young umbra]

No

[wide creek]

[young umbra]
