#also the mindset that is skill is only valuable if it can be used professionally is incredibly damaging and degrading

[leprosycock]

what’s really cool and awesome and normal is how in spite of artists’ best efforts to offer art to the general public, to people who don’t have art education and aren’t immersed in a particular sect of any given genre or culture, putting their work in low-cost or free galleries or airports or the sides of buildings or in parks or in malls or in outdoor shopping squares or in any public area where their projects can be viewed, people still reject the notion of art as a whole because they consider it entirely secondary to everything valuable in a person’s life. you can’t tell someone you’re an art major without seeing that inherent condescension or repulsion or confusion crossing someone’s face if they haven’t bothered to engage with art on a personal level before. it’s always considered an afterthought and never anything vital to the world we all live in and how art exists in genuinely and literally every single fucking facet of our lives. if you tell someone you understand art and can engage with it on a professional level, you’re considered pretentious and self-aggrandizing/obsessed and stuck-up and snotty and impossible to talk to. if you look down on extremely milquetoast and uninteresting and surface-level pieces of art, like very bad generic music with poor and uninspired poetry or extremely literal portraiture or ai art, you’re a gatekeeper and, again, pretentious and snotty. you are not permitted to engage with your passions outside of fellow artists because the “my kid/little sibling/niece/nephew/a five year old could do that” mindset is so pervasive and unless something is extremely easy to swallow and exceedingly literal, people will not accept it as Real Art because they refuse to understand its history, context, the artist’s technical skill and education, and WHY it exists. this also definitely pivots to subject matter and how only certain kinds are permitted and allowed by many, many others. sure, you as a self-obsessed millennial woman can engage with a coffee table book full of Powerful Feminist Quotes about how your ex-boyfriend wouldn’t go see “it ends with us” with you in theaters and your grandpa made a joke about periods once, but if you’re forced to engage with abstraction or an artist who happens to say a slur or the amount of precision and planning and dedication and adoration that goes into performing 4d design that discusses subject matter that YOU don’t like, you’ll shrivel like a fucking leaf and retreat back to what makes you comfortable. i hate it i hate anti-art and i hate being stuck in anti-art worlds

Common Mistakes Which Students Make in R Homework

Are you struggling with your R homework and seeking guidance on how to improve? Many students face challenges when dealing with R programming assignments. In this post, we'll discuss common mistakes students make in their R homework and provide tips on how to overcome them. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced R user, understanding these pitfalls will help you write your R homework more efficiently.

The Importance of Writing My R Homework Correctly

R programming language is widely used in statistics, data analysis, and machine learning. Properly completing R homework is crucial for mastering these skills and achieving academic success. Let's explore the common mistakes students often make and how to avoid them.

Lack of Understanding the Assignment

One prevalent mistake is starting your R homework without a clear understanding of the assignment. Before diving in, take the time to thoroughly read and comprehend the requirements. This will ensure you don't waste time on irrelevant tasks and can focus on the key objectives.

Inefficient Code Organization

Messy and disorganized code is a common pitfall. When writing R code, structure and organization matter. Use meaningful variable names, comment your code, and break it into logical sections. This not only makes your work more readable but also helps you and others understand the logic behind each step.

Ignoring Proper Documentation

Documentation is often overlooked but is crucial in R programming. Make it a habit to document your code, explaining the purpose of each function and variable. This not only helps you understand your code later but also assists others who may review or use your work.

Neglecting Error Handling

Every coder encounters errors, and R programming is no exception. Ignoring error handling can lead to frustration and wasted time. Learn to anticipate and handle errors effectively to streamline your coding process.

Not Seeking Help When Needed

Don't hesitate to seek help when you're stuck. Whether it's from your instructor, classmates, or online resources, getting assistance can help you overcome challenges and gain a deeper understanding of R programming.

The Role of "Write My R Homework" Services

If you find yourself consistently struggling with your R homework, consider exploring professional services that specialize in "write my R homework." These services can provide valuable insights, examples, and assistance, helping you improve your skills and academic performance.

Conclusion:

Mastering R programming requires practice, patience, and a proactive approach to learning. By avoiding common mistakes, organizing your code efficiently, and seeking help when needed, you can write your R homework like a pro. Remember, success in R programming is achievable with dedication and the right mindset.

Miles C. Peyote and Howie Thetaxi

(I’ve already made an information post like this, but said post is pretty long; in fact, it’ll just get longer and more expansive as I develop new characters and stories for [The Future Mob Project]. And I’m worried that the sheer length will make readers lose interest when they click on a link to look for a specific character. So, I’ll be making separate information pages for each character while still maintaining the all-inclusive post. Got it? Good.)

Who They’re Based Off Of: Lewis Dawkins (Dawko) and Ryan (8-BitRyan), respectively.

Their Methods of Work: When your reputation precedes you from all the way across the pond, you’ve definitely done something right! (Unless that was never your intention, in which case you’ve done something horribly, horribly wrong.) Remember the board game Mouse Trap? Well, Miles probably played it a few too many times in his youth, if the booby traps he sets up nowadays are anything to go by. Whether the goal is to kill or simply capture someone, his designs never fail to be. . .elaborate. Howie, meanwhile, doubles as a mechanic and driver. From ditching cops to running enemies off the road, he has more than enough skill to make professional racers envious. Never, NEVER forget the importance of seatbelts if you’re getting into a car with him. (Also, never put your feet on the dash. It’s rude.)

Red Attire: For Miles, a pair of leather boots (Oxblood). For Howie, a pair of gauge earrings (Carnelian)

Notes:

These two got their start in The Marble Hummingbirds, a different mob based in the UK that has had a strong alliance with The Pentas Family for years now. As part of standard underground affairs, Miles and Howie volunteered to relocate to the US and work more closely with Murdock and the others. The adjustment was a bit difficult (especially for Howie), but they both understand that it makes several aspects of business more efficient. They both retain a good balance of loyalty between their original crew and their new one.

Miles is selective when it comes to speaking. He’ll talk freely when he’s among people he trusts or is in a place that he’s deemed safe/comfortable, but when he’s out in public, he’s just. . .very quiet. He’ll still talk a little for the sake of politeness or formality, but only a little. If an area is open or unfamiliar, he’ll usually prefer to use body language and the like. (This does absolutely NOT stop him from cackling like a maniac over his traps.)

Howie has no qualms about reckless driving. Swerving, speeding, staging accidents; he can do it all without batting an eye. Whatever it takes to get himself and his buddies (plus their cargo) from Point A to Point B without getting stopped or caught. However, this mindset only applies to his personal driving. When he’s casually out and about, he can’t stand other drivers who tailgate, block lanes, cut others off, etc. If you act rude toward him in traffic, he can and will make a side-quest out of finding a way to get back at you. And yes, this extends to when he’s on the job. It’s not at all uncommon for him to go back and forth between chatting with his passengers and yelling at idiots on the road in the middle of a high-stakes-chase.

Miles has a habit of collecting plushies; especially odd-looking ones. (For example: the creepy-yet-cute stuff you might find on Etsy.) But his plushies aren’t just for aesthetic or decoration. He’s modified each and every one of them to be soft little storage units. Some have well-hidden zippers in their backs, while others have their heads function as the lids to jars stuffed inside their stomachs. Miles uses this strategy to hide valuables, such as varying sums of money or the odd piece of jewelry taken from a target.

Howie is miraculously conscious of animals on the road. That’s one of few exceptions to his typical stance on get-away-driving. He'll always make sure to avoid hitting cats, dogs, raccoons, deer. . .or squirrels. As a matter of fact, one squirrel that he managed to spare back in the day seems to have pledged a life-debt to him. Seriously, he met this squirrel while he was still working in the UK, and by now it’s followed him to the US. Wherever Howie is, the squirrel always seems to be somewhere in the background, just watching and waiting.

Along with all the get-away driving stuff, Howie has helped The Pentas Family to form its very own chop-shop. Whenever cars are stolen from targets or enemies, Howie will be there to dismantle or sabotage said cars. Legitimate parts are sold, and certain jobs involve filling a vehicle with counterfeit parts in order to frame its owner. 

Ever since relocating, both Miles and Howie live out of The Five Seasons, a hotel near the Cove Port Inlet’s city entrance. The building is connected to the abandoned subway tunnels, and the duo rotates between sharing the hidden den; Miles will use it to build/test his traps, and Howie will use it simply to store/tamper with various car parts. The hotel just so happens to be right across the street from the car repair garage (Oh, For God’s Brake!) that Howie uses for his day-job.

Unlocking my potential: The HNG Internship Adventure

In today’s rapidly evolving tech world, just knowing the basics isn’t enough. To really stand out, you need hands-on experience, continuous learning, and a network of like-minded professionals. This is precisely why I am excited about the HNG Internship—a program designed to boost my tech career and transform me into a highly sought-after professional. But what exactly is the HNG Internship, and what do I hope to achieve from it? 

What is the HNG Internship?

Now, I know what you're thinking... "Another internship program? What makes this one so special?" Well, the HNG Internship isn’t your typical internship. It’s a fast-paced, competitive online bootcamp designed for coders, designers, and other tech talents looking to rapidly upskill.

Practical Learning at Its Best

One of the things that intrigued me about the HNG Internship is its focus on practical learning. Gone are the days of passive lectures and theoretical exercises – here, you'll be rolling up your sleeves and diving into real-world projects, using the latest tools and technologies to tackle complex challenges.

Collaborative and Fun Environment

While the program is intense, it’s also designed to be collaborative and supportive. Rather than working alone, participants are connected through the HNG Premium Network which gives us the opportunity to grow our careers and collaborate with top techies from around the world. We gain access to remote job offers, tech talks, coding gigs, annual meetups, networking opportunities, and engaging discussions. 

This collaborative approach not only enhances the learning experience but also helps build a valuable network of like-minded professionals. This reminds me of a very popular saying “Success is not just about what you know, but also about who you know”.

My Expectations

As I get ready to start the HNG Internship, my primary goal is to enhance my existing skills and gain practical expertise that will make me job-ready. I also aim to build a strong professional network that can support my career growth long after the internship is over.

I expect to be challenged and pushed out of my comfort zone, tackling projects that will test my problem-solving abilities and creativity. I’m looking forward to collaborating with peers who are as passionate about technology as I am and learning from mentors who are experts in their fields.

A Career Accelerator

The HNG Internship is more than just a learning opportunity; it is a true career accelerator! By the end of the program, I hope to have a comprehensive portfolio of projects that showcase my skills and expertise. I also hope to secure job opportunities with top companies, leveraging the network and experience gained during the program.

The tech industry is constantly evolving, and the HNG Internship is designed to help me stay ahead of the curve. I am confident that this program will not only enhance my technical skills but also equip me with the necessary tools and mindset to thrive in the ever-evolving world of technology.

What is STEM?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. And together they make up a popular and fast-growing industry.

Most STEM workers use computers and other technology in their day-to-day jobs. Many also use the scientific method to test hypotheses and theories. Most STEM jobs are in high demand but suffer from a lack of qualified candidates.

STEM is necessary for growing the economy and staying globally competitive. As society innovates and technology advances, the need for professionals who understand how these technologies work and who can propose practical solutions continues to grow. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calls STEM careers "tommorow's job," emphasizing the importance of these unique industries. Today, STEM jobs are in high demand, and many are projected to stay in demand for several years. At the same time, STEM professionals are in short supply, which is why so many colleges — as well as the U.S. government — are imploring students to study STEM. This high demand for computing professionals makes sense if you consider how much of our lives have become reliant on some form of digital technology. It’s how we communicate and keep in touch. It’s how we entertain ourselves. It starts the engines in our cars; in medical practices, it keeps us alive; it drives massive segments of our economy; and for better or worse, advances in digital technology will continue to control the future direction of our society. As our daily lives become more reliant on software and digital devices, jobs in computing will become increasingly more important.

Engineering and Physical Science is the next largest category of in-demand STEM careers. These are careers like Orthodontists, Petroleum Engineers, Biochemists, Nurse Anesthetists, Civil Engineers, and Cartographers. Yes, cartographers—map makers—are still a thing and they earn a median salary of $63,990. (Cool, I know.) These types of careers have much less to do with computers and more to do with rolling up your sleeves and getting elbow deep in real work, with real results that you can see right now.

Life Sciences and Mathematics are much smaller fields than the previous two, but they make up the third most significant chunk of STEM careers. These two fields involve the more theoretical STEM careers that account for only a small amount of the demand for STEM professionals. These are careers like being a Clinical Research Associate or an Economist that—while still in demand—might be harder to find a position in. However, these are by no means your only options when it comes to STEM careers. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer working with computers, building robots, drawing blueprints for skyscrapers, or developing groundbreaking medicine. If you can make it through a STEM program in college, there’s a STEM career for you. 

Going through a STEM program is pretty intense. It requires a lot of dedication, perseverance, and sacrifice to make it all the way through. No matter how, this style of education builds the skills and mindsets that employers find incredibly valuable. And since the demand for STEM professionals is so high, employers in STEM fields are willing to offer some of the most generous starting salaries that recent graduates can get.

Tailor your cover letter to each company, emphasizing how your skill set aligns with the job description. Highlight any relevant projects you’ve worked on and how you can bring value to their organization.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Finding Support with a Therapist in Nevada and Texas

Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their abilities and feel like frauds despite evidence of their success. This debilitating mindset affects professionals across various industries, leaving them feeling unworthy of their achievements and fearing that they will be “found out” at any moment. The impact of imposter syndrome can be overwhelming, leading to chronic stress, burnout, and a significant reduction in self-esteem. In this article, we'll explore the importance of seeking professional help, especially from a Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Nevada or a Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Texas, to overcome this challenge.

Understanding Imposter Syndrome: Why It Happens

Imposter syndrome can affect anyone, regardless of their career level or personal achievements. It often develops from early experiences in life, such as high expectations from family, teachers, or peers, and the internalization of these pressures. Individuals with imposter syndrome tend to attribute their success to external factors like luck, rather than acknowledging their own skills and efforts. This distorted thinking leaves them feeling disconnected from their accomplishments and fearful of failure. Seeking help from a Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Nevada or Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Texas can help individuals recognize these patterns and begin to work through them in a supportive environment.

The Impact of Imposter Syndrome on Mental Health

The mental health effects of imposter syndrome are often underestimated, but they can have long-lasting consequences. When someone feels like a fraud, they might experience anxiety, depression, and even chronic perfectionism. This can make it difficult to accept praise or success, and as a result, individuals may avoid pursuing new opportunities for fear of failing or being exposed. With consistent therapy, a Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Nevada or Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Texas can help people understand that these feelings are common and can be managed. They can also provide strategies to cope with self-doubt and increase self-compassion, ultimately leading to better mental health and well-being.

How Therapy Helps in Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Therapists play a crucial role in helping individuals confront the beliefs and thoughts that fuel imposter syndrome. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common approaches used to address this issue, as it helps people identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more realistic and positive ones. A Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Texas can also teach practical tools for managing anxiety, such as mindfulness and self-affirmation techniques. By developing healthier thinking habits and addressing underlying issues, therapy enables people to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and foster a more positive self-image.

Seeking Professional Help: A Path Toward Healing

For those struggling with imposter syndrome, professional therapy can be life-changing. Whether someone lives in Nevada or Texas, finding a qualified Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Texas or Therapist For Imposter Syndrome Nevada can provide valuable support in managing and overcoming these feelings. A therapist will work with individuals to understand the roots of their imposter syndrome and develop a tailored treatment plan.

Week 1 Blog

Social media, in my opinion, is best defined as digital platforms that enable individuals and communities to create, share, and interact with content in real time or asynchronously. While the textbook may focus on the technological or business aspects of social media, I believe its essence lies in its ability to connect people through shared ideas, experiences, and conversations. Social media is more than just tools or apps; it’s a cultural phenomenon that has transformed the way we communicate, consume information, and express ourselves. From platforms like Facebook and Instagram to TikTok and LinkedIn, social media serves as both a mirror and a catalyst for societal trends and personal expression.

As a social media user, I would describe myself as a "selective participant." I use platforms primarily to stay informed, connect with friends and family, and occasionally share my thoughts or experiences. However, I am not the type to document every aspect of my life or chase viral moments. My habits lean toward consuming content rather than creating it, and I gravitate toward platforms that offer a mix of entertainment and information, such as Instagram, Twitter (or X), and YouTube. I’m also mindful of the time I spend on social media, often setting limits to ensure it doesn’t interfere with other aspects of my life. In some ways, I see myself as a critical observer of social media—I’m fascinated by the way trends evolve and how platforms influence public discourse, but I’m also wary of its potential downsides.

One of my strengths in understanding social media is my ability to analyze how it shapes communication and culture. I’ve studied media literacy and have a solid grasp of concepts like algorithmic influence, echo chambers, and the role of user-generated content. This analytical mindset helps me approach social media critically, allowing me to discern credible information from misinformation and recognize the underlying motives behind certain types of content. Additionally, I’m comfortable navigating multiple platforms and understanding their unique features and audience dynamics, which gives me a broader perspective on their uses and impact.

However, I do face challenges when it comes to social media. One of the biggest is keeping up with the rapid pace of change. New platforms, features, and trends emerge constantly, and it can be overwhelming to stay updated. I also struggle with balancing the positive aspects of social media—like staying connected and informed—with its more negative sides, such as doomscrolling or feeling pressured to present a curated version of myself. Another challenge is understanding the deeper technical aspects, such as how algorithms are coded or how data privacy policies impact users, which I hope to learn more about in this class.

Through this course, I want to deepen my understanding of social media from both a theoretical and practical perspective. I’m particularly interested in learning how social media can be used responsibly and ethically, both as an individual and in professional contexts. I hope to gain insights into effective strategies for content creation, community engagement, and digital marketing, as these skills are increasingly valuable in today’s world. Beyond the class, I want to become more intentional in my social media use, leveraging it as a tool for personal growth, creativity, and meaningful connections rather than letting it become a passive or negative influence. Ultimately, I aim to leave this course not only as a more informed user but as someone who can critically engage with social media to make a positive impact.

True tips,

True tips,

In a world filled with countless opinions and advice, it can be difficult to distinguish what is truly valuable. Whether you're seeking guidance on personal development, business strategies, health tips, or any other area of life, understanding what makes advice "true" and actionable is key. In this article, we’ll explore several essential "true tips" that can help you navigate various aspects of life with confidence and purpose.

1. Trust Your Instincts

One of the truest tips anyone can give is to trust your own intuition. We often have an inner voice that guides us, yet it’s easy to overlook. Listening to your instincts can help you make decisions faster, with greater clarity. While external advice is valuable, it’s important to filter it through your own lens to determine what resonates most with your personal values and goals.

2. Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity

No one succeeds without experiencing some form of failure. True success comes from the ability to learn from mistakes and adapt. Every setback is an opportunity to grow, refine your approach, and emerge stronger. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it as a stepping stone toward achieving your long-term objectives.

3. Focus on What You Can Control

In life, there will always be factors beyond your control. Rather than stressing over the uncontrollable, focus on what you can influence. Whether it's your work ethic, attitude, or personal habits, you have the power to control how you respond to challenges. By focusing your energy on these aspects, you can create a positive impact on your life.

4. Consistency Over Perfection

It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of perfection, but the truth is, consistency often yields better results in the long run. Whether it's building a skill, cultivating relationships, or working toward a personal goal, showing up consistently is more important than being flawless. Progress is made through steady effort, not through sudden bursts of perfection.

5. Value Your Time

Time is one of our most valuable resources, and once it’s gone, we can never get it back. A true tip for success is learning to manage and prioritize your time effectively. Instead of procrastinating or overcommitting, focus on what truly matters and allocate your time wisely. Set boundaries, schedule breaks, and recognize when it’s time to step back and recharge.

6. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences

The people you surround yourself with can have a profound effect on your mindset and success. Seek out individuals who inspire, support, and challenge you to be your best self. Positive influences not only uplift your mood but also help you stay motivated, focused, and accountable.

7. Invest in Self-Care

True success cannot be achieved without taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper sleep, and mindfulness practices are all essential components of self-care. When you nurture yourself, you’ll have the energy and clarity to pursue your goals with vigor and resilience.

8. Be Open to Change

Life is constantly evolving, and the ability to adapt to change is crucial. Embrace new ideas, approaches, and opportunities. Instead of resisting change, view it as an opportunity for growth and innovation. Flexibility in your mindset and actions will allow you to thrive even in uncertain times.

9. Communicate Clearly and Effectively

Effective communication is at the heart of successful relationships, both personally and professionally. Practice active listening, express your thoughts clearly, and ask questions when needed. Whether you're giving feedback or resolving conflicts, clear communication fosters understanding, reduces misunderstandings, and strengthens connections.

10. Believe in Your Own Potential

Finally, the most true tip of all is to believe in yourself. Confidence in your abilities is the foundation for taking bold actions and making meaningful progress. Trust that you have the potential to achieve greatness, and don’t let self-doubt hold you back from pursuing your dreams.

Conclusion

True tips are rooted in authenticity, consistency, and resilience. By trusting your instincts, embracing failure, focusing on what you can control, and maintaining a positive mindset, you can unlock the path to success in any area of your life. Remember, it’s not about seeking perfection, but about continuous improvement and learning from the journey.
