For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

Also, try to analyze the problem from a broad perspective. If you always get stuck in a defensive position and then lose, try looking up theory for working from a defensive position. Or you can work improving your openings, so you take the initiative early on. There’s loads of theory available online, so you don’t have to do all the thinking yourself

Look for the first obvious (unforced) error you made, and try to work on that. The rest of the game is influenced by that first error, so for now, it’s a lot less relevant. E.g. it’s more useful to focus on not losing your Queen unnecessarily than to practice being down a Queen.

One of the other advantages of LW is that it’s run from the EU and thus has to comply with the GDPR. Given all the shit that Reddit pulled during the exodus, this may have been an additional reason for people to choose LW over one of the North American instances.

There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.

A lot of symphonic metal bands are like that. On the top of my head, you could check out Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica and Unleash the Archers.

Melissa Bonny does a lot of collaborations with other bands, just search her name on Youtube.

Yeah, the Runeterra universe is awesome! I played LoR for two years, basically for the lore and the art card. I burnt out on the game, but I still miss those aspects.

The release of Arcane was awesome as well, with all kinds of different media experiences. Looking forward to season two (November 2024 D: ).

My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it’s a leftover from theatrical plays.

I think it’s pretty standard in the EU.

Yeah, learning to perform a macro cycle while doing other stuff is really useful. I sometimes play AoE2 with friends, and I’m not very good at it, but if there’s one thing I can do, it’s spamming trash units in the late game.

Yeah, it sounds like a great starting point if you want to work for a local government.

Sorry, didn’t get a notification.

Yeah, it’s basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.

Considering busywork, many online texts are unnecessarily long in order to fit as many ads in between as possible. I’ve encountered texts (even about academic subjects) that are practically unreadable if you don’t skim them, because they’re not meant to be read closely.

Everyone knows what it’s like to look up information on the internet nowadays: most of your time is spent on scrolling or clicking past ads and scanning webpages until you’ve found a source that’s actually useful.

I think a lot of people have been trained to skim online texts because they’re designed explicitly to waste your time.

There’s a difference between simplifying a message and writing at a lower reading comprehension level. I think a lot of accidental incomprehension might just be caused by the reader not being very good at reading English.

In my country (and I think the whole EU), government agencies have to write at a B1 level to make sure official publications and letters are accessible to all citizens. I think that’s a good rule of thumb for online conversations as well. (However, writing pleasant prose at B1 level is a whole different beast. Generally, they’re not very good at it.)

Why? They’re just recycling other people’s content.

I think you’re confusing things. The Fairphone 4 and OnePlus 6 are both regular Android phones, but Android is based on Linux.

Edit: maybe you meant they’re running stock Android instead if a custom version (with bloatware) like Samsung phones.

Other smaller Adroid brands, like Nokia and Motorola, do that as well. I don’t really understand why people still bother with Samsung’s bullshit.
