- What makes something a "big" manifestation?
- Since what's "big" for you isn't necessarily big for everyone else, what makes it big for you?
I see a lot of posts here referencing manifestations as "big" or "small". It seems like a belief we all have to some degree. If you observe, a lot of our "small" manifestations come with ease and the big ones? You know from experience.
My dear friends, if we're going to achieve a lot we need to stop making things "big" in our sight.
Things have no value of their except that which you give them.
My dream car is someone else's shit box. My dream girl is who someone else doesn't even care about. Don't use what I just said as a tool to lower yourself or feel inferior to those kind of people.
Instead, realize the difference in your minds, and hence the difference in realities experiences. Neville says the time taken for a manifestation to happen is proportional to how natural it feels.
With this observation, we can use this to our advantage, make your "big dream" goals normal and basic.
A person trapped in the desert values water more than you at home with running tap water. You see the value of the water is not fixed, it all depends on your perspective....Same with your goals.
Theory is often perfect but the practice is a different story. Find a way of your own to make your goals natural.
But remember it's about BEING someone who views those goals with that perspective.
Trailblazers: Dream & PeteZahHutt
These players are exceptional movement players who lead their team on the path to victory. They are very decisive, confident, take risks, and are particularly strong in parkour, making them the best Sands of Time players in the event. They are especially good at boosting their teammates in any game, somehow conjuring up a factor of teamwork in objectively non-team games like TGTTOS and Ace Race, which their teams usually perform better than predicted in.
Soloists: Fruitberries and Illumina
These players are known for dominating the event individually rather than leading their team. They are extremely talented mechanically, especially in movement, bridging, and raw pvp. Conversely, they have very straightforward and efficient playstyles which hold them back from using the resources around them to their maximum advantage in games like Sky Battle and Survival Games, but help them tunnel vision in games like Build Mart and Ace Race. Their mechanical ability makes up for the majority of their weaknesses though.
Beasts: Technoblade and Sapnap
These are the best pvp players in the event by far. They have excellent mechanical pvp skill but what makes them stand out from other pvp players is their adaptability, game sense, and equanimity. They are unbelievably good at evaluating any combat situation and deciding which ones they should engage in. They are also very solid movement players which, when combined with their unbelievable game sense and spatial awareness, helps them in Parkour Tag and Battle Box. They are the quickest to adapt to new maps and changes and develop optimized strategies for them. They never get overwhelmed with nerves which makes them perform consistently amazing in their strongest games.
All-rounders: Quig and Punz
These players have NO WEAKNESSES. I am pretty sure these are the only players in the event that average above 15th place in every single game in the event. Because of their ability to do well in nearly any game or map Noxcrew throws at them, it is nearly impossible to predict with any accuracy which games they will perform best in. The downside of this though, is that they are not consistently dominant in any specific game, making it hard for them to confidently determine and then secure a game order that will get them to dodgebolt. This one weakness is why they are the most overlooked of the S tiers. Nevertheless, their all-around skill has manifested in some of the most impressive a
... keep reading on reddit ➡I’m looking for other's thoughts on how to characterize and classify the structure of RPG campaigns, especially for campaigns in traditional systems such as DnD, CoC, GURPs, etc..
From discussions I’ve had, I get the sense that the standard view of classifying RPG campaigns is on a scale related to “player choice”, which increases in a manner similar to below:
- Linear campaigns
- Quasi-linear campaigns
- Nonlinear campaigns
- Open-world campaigns and sandboxes
“Player choice” in this sense is related to i) the number of scenarios that the players can choose from and ii) the extent to which players can determine the overall direction of the campaign.
I’m not entirely satisfied with this standard view. It seems to me that campaigns that are very strongly player-directed often develop a linear structure (since the players decide the next scenario so the GM doesn’t need to develop multiple choices). Examples include approaches where the campaign is built one scenario at a time (for instance, “The Lazy DM” approach) or even in less traditional, more improvisational RPGs such as Blades in the Dark. However, strongly player-directed, linear campaigns don’t fit easily into the classification scheme above.
What are your thoughts on the above? I’ve not been able to find much writing on this specific subject so I’d appreciate any pointers (specific blog posts, books etc.).
Just to add, I'm not interested here in what the “best” type of campaign is (I have my opinions on this, as I’m sure everyone else has). I’m instead asking this question from a more academic perspective. However I do think having a “better” way of describing campaigns might be helpful for GMs pitching campaign ideas and for players in terms of expressing what they want out of a RPG.
This is something i run into quite a bit when bringing up that a lot of people have died from COVID. They say even if you die in a car crash and they find covid in your body , its classified as a covid death
I'm working on a series of articles about standard algorithms, but I'm kinda having trouble coming up with partitions that I'm happy with.
There are some obvious categories:
- sorting & partitioning
- algorithms that require sorted/partitioned range
- reducers: range->value
- transformers: range->new range
- searchers: range->element
- mutators (in-place mutate range)
- shufflers (in-place mutate range, without changing elements)
- generators
- in-place constr-/destruction
But for example, the transformers category is massive and I have trouble coming up with a meaningful split.
I'm trying to find an umbrella term that describes weapons like bows and slingshots. These are weapons that fires a projectile, but aren't a firearm. Something the user has to input energy into and draw before they can fire it. Is there a simple word or two that easily defines this category? Google wasn't that helpful.
My first thought was "ranged weapon", but that's a way too broad a term. I found "elastic launching device" on the crossbow wiki... while it's a very accurate classification, it's kind of a clunky to say. There must be a word for this, right?
Today is the "slow tamp" - just a gradual decline through the morning.
There's the "precipitous tamp" - a smash where millions of paper ounces are dumped and the chart is almost vertical going down. Not preceded by any particular price change.
There's the "volcano tamp" - a smash to counteract a sudden rise in silver prices - like what happens when a CPI report is released showing higher than normal inflation. This puts a "volcano" like structure in the day's price chart.
There's the "waterfall tamp" - a tamp followed by a brief stability followed by a second tamp. This tamp is designed to get those outsiders making money off the predictability of the tamps to take positions that get smashed by the second tamp.
Of course, there's the yet-to-be-seen "oh s$%^ tamp" - this happens on that glorious day when the banksters run out of silver and default on their paper contracts.
What others?
My French Bulldog was noted in 2018 as having breed-related, congenital hemivertebrae in his thoracic spine. At the time it wasn't causing any issues. I purchased pet insurance later in 2018, as his sister was insured through them, through Healthy Paws, and now in 2021, after paying 3 years of premiums, he is having issues with his back legs due to this.
For surgery to fix this it's going to be $10k, and now Healthy Paws is saying it is a "pre-existing condition" and denying his claim. This is absolutely absurd and I'm unsure what to do. Help?
Hi TFT subreddit -- I had a lot of free time on my hands this holiday break so I though it would be fun to create a video poking fun at some of the classic TFT player archetypes in our community.
I see that it has become almost a consensus in the linguistic community to classify Jeju as a separate language, which together with Korean forms the Koreanic language family.
But, if Jeju is a separate language, then shouldn't most of other Koreanic dialects also be classified as separate languages?
Mutially intelligibility? There are plenty of other Korean dialects that are not mutially intelligible with Seoul Korean.
Genealogy? Jeju, like all surviving Korean dialects, is a descendant of Middle Korean.
Sociolinguistic attitude? Most of the Jeju speakers themselves view Jeju as a dialect.
So what makes Jeju special? What's the reason to give it a language status and not to other Korean dialects, especially when the speakers themselves view it as a dialect?
For those who don't know, TNO, aka The New Order: Last Days of Europe, is a mod for Hearts of Iron IV set in a world where the Nazis won World War II. If you want more info, go to r/TNOMod.
Using the TNO Sub-Ideology Chart, I will be attempting to label each faction in TNO by sub-ideology. Not all will fall into precise categories, though. Also, keep in mind that I'm describing the current governments. Not everyone in said faction follows their given ideology. Finally, I'm only using existing factions.
#American Workers' Army (East)
This one is easy enough: Stalinism. Sutton has established a classic Stalinist authoritarian state.
#Sons of the South
While the Sons are a bit of a hodgepodge, I think they are best described as Fascist Populism, favoring the subjugation of nonwhites.
#Federal Republic of America
Pretty easy. The FRA adheres to Neoconservatism. Their "moderates" would be some variety of Conservative Democracy.
#Gadsden Militia
Honestly, this one doesn't fit anywhere on the TNO ideology chart. The Gadsdens adhere to right-wing libertarianism. The closest fit would be Right-Wing Populism, but even that's not a great description.
#Knights of Columbus
The KoC are described as being a bit inconsistent, but so far Theocracy seems the best fit.
#National Revolutionary Guard
While there are likely differences of opinion, the general driving ideology of the NRG seems to be Maoism.
#Republic of Hawaii
We don't actually know a lot about the Republic of Hawaii, except that the US Pacific Fleet has a lot of influence, so I'll put them down under Provisional Government.
#Republic of Alaska
This is a bit of a guess, but I'd expect something like Populist Conservatism to predominate, given that Alaska is a roughly conservative state.
#African People's Guard
No question. The APG subscribes to Pan-Africanism, or at least an American version of it.
#Ku Klux Klan
Exactly where the Klan sits could be argued. For that matter, the recent tornadoes may have wiped them out. But I'd pin them as Ultranationalist, seeing as how they want to exterminate non-whites.
#Native Guardian League
Different NGL cells probably disagree, but broadly they seem to adhere to Left-Wing Nationalism. Of course, they really should be treated as mul

I'm a music producer and I pretty much have my own unique style and mood for my art. However since the beginning of me making music, people I ask are never able to firmly place my music into a specific genre. So I was wondering if there's some simple tips I can use to classify my work so I can appropriately place it in a genre and promote it. Thank you all for any answers, including memes and sh*tposting.
This book is at least 15 years old and the main vampire character dies by getting pushed out of a window or off a balcony and his last words where’s something like, “Fucking Patrick, He ruins everything.”
The book is NOT The Lesser Dead.
Main character was kind of grubby and relatable.
I am a software developer with a decade of experience. Recently, I made a switch to teaching and took the role of facilitating and assisting students from inner city, ghettos and underprivileged sections of society.
I have a dump of short questions with their answers and explanations on high school biology. Elements in this set of Biology question-answer have no title or tags to group them. They are in random order.
My project has two stages.
In stage 1, classify these questions into different clusters according to their topic. Which algorithm would you suggest for this task?
Stage 2 is a bit intricate. The objective is to present the questions to the students in the order that facilitates their learning. In other words, every question should be followed by a question that the student is more likely to answer.
The idea is if we present questions in this way, it will help students learn the topics at their own pace and as per their thought process. The system should learn the order by asking students questions and analyzing their correct and incorrect answer patterns.
I think the Bayesian network is more suitable for stage 2. But I was advised that a neural network is more fitting here.
What are your thoughts? Which algorithms would you suggest?
In chemistry we somtimes have convenient, arbitrary names where useful ("water" instead of "dihydrogen monoxide") but always a predictable scientific name that describes what the compound actually is (e.g.: "dihydrogen monoxide" = two hydrogens and one oxygen).
I can't claim to be smart enough to provide a better naming system for minerals, but surely the best possible naming system isn't "we give an arbitrary name to every possible chemical variation in every possible crystal lattice?"
Has anyone ever proposed a more consistent system for identifying minerals? If so, how did their systems work?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for interesting and helpful answers!
Hi, everyone. I am a volunteer librarian in a small library located in a very big college town. We're not part of the official university library system, but we do get lots of students borrowing books because we specialize in Catholic theology and English history books.
The problem is that our books are classified via an arbitrary system that does not concord with Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal or anything like that and I've been asked to look into a way of normalizing our library.
Is there a software I can purchase where I can put in the ISBN's (or titles) of the books so that it will then give me how I should classify each book? Like a "here's exactly what's going to go on the label on the spine for each one' kind of a thing?
Many thanks in advance.
It's not as bad as fucking astrology because at least there are some actual shared experiences in these groups, but it's similar in that it's so general and broad it's completely useless.
In nuclear engineering, we categorize nuclear reactors in a lot of different ways. One of the most common ways of doing it is to classify them based on their coolant type; PWR, GCR, MCR etc. However I am looking something more comprehensive than that. Something that covers them all and then each category branches out. Something like:
- Conventional Nuclear Reactors
- Small Nuclear Reactors
- Micro Nuclear Reactors
- Research Nuclear Reactors
- Military
- Marine
How would you classify it?
