Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

While not 100% certain, I am confident that in the future the working class will successfully bring about global socialism, hopefully even reaching a better, communist future, where production is run to satisfy the needs of society as best as possible rather than for profit.

I'm confident that I can speak English fluently and in a way that other people can understand.

That's about it.

That I'm a good person. Really didn't believe that for a lot of my life but therapy helped - not just in how I see myself but in how I BE myself too. I'm still really a degenerate at heart but one with self control and the ability to communicate what I'm feeling. What I want, and to clarify how other people feel.

I'm confident in my ability to communicate, to handle awkward social situations, in my hobbies.

I am confident about my ability to get back into shape. I've let myself go over the part couple years. It happens. But I'm back on track.

I'm confident that even two decades after leaving college I can write an essay on any literary, historical, or philosophical text in a single draft without more than half an hour of reading and turn it in for an above-average grade.

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

for what kind of assignment, are we talking undergrad or grad school papers?

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

Undergrad, non-research papers. Textual analysis, that sort of thing.

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

thanks, I don't know why it was worth clarifying that, but it was a kind of impulse for me to do so anyway, lol - sorry about that, but also thank you 🫶

Very good, how long is the turnaround time for the essay production after that 0.5 hours to read it?

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

Twenty minutes per twelve-point-double-spaced page, give or take, I'm not a fast typist.

Guessing the price of a laptop based on date of purchase, stickers and physical aspect

I can usually know somewhat closely the Intel processor generation based on the look of it (7th through 10th/11th straight up tell you), and you do know whether it’s an i5 7… etc with teh sticker. Additional stickers may indicate dedicated graphics. Seeing the display and form factor gives other indications to what segment the product belongs and what price class it targets. Finally the date of purchase tells me roughly if it is new, or a model that is getting discontinued soon and that should be discounted.

I feel like stickers are a big turn off for me but Im not sure why. If I had them i would want to peel them off like an old scab or something to make it smooth

[-] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

You’d be surprised at how many people keep them. Not having stickers naturally increases uncertainty, but by chassis, display and date of purchase alone, I can still get a broad estimate of cost

[-] sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Not that i judge or look down on, its just a cue for me that they might not e super savvy or Im probably not the market segment targeted by it

That people are extreamly easy to control and influence by governments and big tech companies.

Humanity is literally living inside their phones now and their minds are influenced daily by what they are shown, by algorithms.

I would not have children in this future.

My fire eating and fire safety expertise. I have a lot of creds and am happy to share it with others.
