If you look at it upside down it is

This is it, right here, and not just in regards to warfare, which is where this reputation gets a lot of it’s legs.

Honestly, polite and accomodating until deliberately crossed is a huge part of national identity, but it’s not really expressed it seems like. We all know we are this way, but internationally, we still seem to have the pushover vibe which is weird and stupid.

Come at us ya hosers.

That’s what I thought it was. Honestly, not that hard to do - look up tilt shift stuff. This shot would be kind of the same concept

now this is pod racing

I hated the survival mode. It didn’t really add much to anything, imo, and could have been built better.

I played morrowind without understanding how fast travel worked in that game for a long while. I get the immersion thing.

I’d rather taste the rainbow…

A man like you wouldn’t understand culture

One in a million shit doc

Bingo. It’s like this here too.

Not usually. For my sphere, you need field time to understand how things work. The academic smarts gives you the horsepower to the hardest problems, but it doesn’t replace the foundational skills that comprise 97% of the work

Now it’s time to get your hands dirty with just about everything that comes your way and build up that experience. You’re not meant to be a master of your field, you’re meant to be able to think intelligently about your subject matter

Within your area of expertise too, even. In my field, Ph.Ds are viewed as being overqualified with not enough field experience

I love this

For a long time, I was a middling student. 65-75% grades, with the occasional 80 in something I was interested in. It’s unbelievable how much that limits you when you want to go further, or apply for a bursary or the like.

Part of it for me, was that I was slotted in the lower stream/special needs stream during high school. This was largely because I was bored to tears in school, had a ton of home drama going on at that time.

I did a pile of upgrading, and ended up graduating with 150 of the 100 credits needed. I managed to get accepted into a smaller collage, transfer to the university, I wasn’t exceptional at really anything until my 4th year of B.Sc., where the specialized topics came in and I could fill my boots. I worked hard, though, which was all I really had going for me.

I pulled up my socks enough to get into grad school, and welp, here I am 10 years later (15 years experience in my field) doing what I set out to do.

You just mad she’s living the life you want, bruh
