It’s difficult to go from being extrinsically motivated to intrinsically. I would say this is good advice. Put yourself in a position where it is easy to succeed.

This means making and following a schedule for yourself, including a bedtime, a time to do your homework, and time to relax and unwind.

Make these ‘hard rules’ and track your streaks of good habits. I do the same thing foggy does, I have a rule that I must show up to every class, sit in the front center and keep my phone put away.

I also try to set aside half an hour every day to take a walk or meditate. If you haven’t yet, seek out a therapist. Find a place or a (willing) person to talk about your day, your goals, and your progress.

And most importantly: remember, you are the one who knows yourself best, you get to choose and implement your own strategy to take control of your life. It will only work if you make it work. You got this.

Every turn of the wheel would still twist the strap, pulling it tighter

Psionic might have some extra sensory perception as well.

I don’t think they would care about that unless there was a long line and you left no tip.

BREAKING:

I have just been KILLED in a VIDEO GAME.

I LITERALLY started playing 5 MINUTES AGO and didn’t even talk in chat.

I have been VIOLATED for SIMPLY EXISTING.

The most powerful explosion is not end crystals (with an explosion power of 6), not a charged creeper, (also power 6), and not the initial wither explosion (power 7)

10 shannons, that is, 10 bits, each with 50% probability would be equivalent to the amount of information gained from observing an event with 1/1024 chance of occurring, not 1/10. Thats because this unit gets combined multiplicatively. The wikipedia article mentions that if there are 8 possible events with equal probability, the information content would be 3 shannons.

I agree with you, but I don’t agree with the way you are presenting the point, and it could be a miscommunication, so I’ll explain:

Historically, ‘All Lives Matter’ was used to diminish the BLM movement. It is used as a response when it should be the premise. All Lives Matter, therefore Black Lives Matter, not the other way around.

I think the comment replying to you was using the All Lives Matter metaphor to say that your comment about it being a human being that was killed is deliberately ignoring the struggles for trans people. But the way they phrased it was very subtle.

I really thought they were going to add a new tree shape instead of keeping the dark oak.

Different perspective here:

I don’t really get why people want to leave lopsided casual matches in the first place. You either get to chill out against easier opponents or get better by playing against stronger opponents. At the end of the day, winning or losing doesn't matter because, well it’s casual. If you wanted a balanced match every game where everyone is trying their best to win, then you should be playing ranked.

What annoyed me with the old system was when my team would go down 1 point, the teammate insta-leaves and then I get a bot or some unfortunate guy who joins into this match midway through.

The people leaving seemed to care more about winning than the match being lopsided; It was really rare to see someone from the winning team leave. And I know thats a common perspective to have, but for me personally, I like playing matches for more than 1 point. I think comeback games shouldn’t only happen in ranked.

With the changes, the casual playlist has improved in some ways and worsened in others. It is way more likely to get a team that sticks around for the full match, but the mode is more competitive now, which is not what it’s supposed to be like.

I think there was probably a better solution to the problem. The issue seems to occur when one player wants to leave, but the other wants to continue. An idea I had to reduce the chance of this happening was matching together the players who tend to abandon and matching together the players who tend to play out matches.

There are only 4.29 billion possible values of an int32, so even if you used 2 lines for each case, it’d still be under 10 billion lines of code

bool isOdd(int num) {
    if (num == 1)
        { return true; }
    if (num == 2)
        { return false; }
    if (num == 3)
        { return true; }
    …
}
