Is it pronounced Arceus-Arseus or Arceus-Arkeus?

Somehow it didn't turn into a Insurgence thread, though it was about someone just as bad as the Insurgence devs, just with more influence
(even though I missed the discussion when it was going on, I saw firsthand Versy's view-gaining tactics when he started drama with Hoodlum Scrafty and another Poketuber last year, so I couldn't really add anything that hadn't already been said.)

That moment when someone who tries to jump the queue accuses me of jumping the queue when I tell her she's clearly jumping the queue...
I am confused

Ahahahaha. As a student, you
Ijust don't live withoutThank you, I appreciate it. It is kind of intense from time to time, but I seem to manage quite alright. So that's nice
And hey, gotta get enough sleep, so you might as well sleep during boring classes. I really think your study sounds interesting. It's something that I could see myself reading about. Not doing an entire study on it, because it's just not my field, but knowing about it is interesting!
In the drama classes, do you really act? Or is it a study of drama in English Literature?

Question: why would you use a Flame Orb if it burns your Pokémon which decreases its attack? I've seen lots of people use it, but I really wonder why

Should you follow a Master's degree or not? http://rostraeconomica.nl/to-master-or-not-to-master/

There are a few problems with what the author is saying. First the argument that Master's degrees aren't worth it because everyone has one is... super dubious. Not everyone has a Master's to begin with, and even if it were true, standing out by not having one wouldn't be the best idea.
Then there's the cost argument... well it's true in the US but also a non-issue in many European countries. So it really depends on where you live and what you can afford.
People should study for a Master's degree if they can, and if it's an advantage in order to find a job in their fields of interest. And atm, it's an advantage in many, if not most fields. Even if the degree you have isn't exactly related to the job you're applying for, a Master's is the guarantee that you have the ability to think and learn. Recruiters generally appreciate this, and this shouldn't be underestimated.

I fully agree with you. Though I do see the declining value of a Master's degree like the author pointed out, being it to some extent. However, like you said, in this case, it is better to be one of many people with a Master's degree than to be one without one. It won't necessarily make you stand out positively (if having a Master's degree is common in your field) but at least it prevents you from experiencing the possible disadvantages of not having one.
Now, for the cost argument: in her case, she's non-EU (I think), which makes it incredibly expensive to study. Of course, it's still not as expensive as the US, but even then it's costly. The argument that education in the EU is cheap is relative. For example, education in the Netherlands used to be free (or nearly free) of charge. Due to budget cuts etc., this is no longer the case. It is still cheaper than the US, but more expensive than most countries within the EU.
Then there are some fields of work that require a Master's degree if you want to be able to continuously develop yourself in your field. If I want to keep on developing myself in the field of Accounting, I will have to follow a Master's degree. Heck, I even have to follow a post-master degree if I want to keep growing...
So personally, I think you should always go for that Master's degree
Thanks for your thoughts on this
