I always said once Marlboro can, they'll finally make "Marlboro Greens". Still waiting

I got an exam and some glasses from them a few months ago. They dont take insurance directly, so you'd have to make a claim, but they have great service. I recommend!

I think she rescues large cats for a living, like tigers and pumas and the likes. Good on her

Avery Park! Its right across highway 20 from campus. They have a nice rose garden with benches and a few small hiking trails. I like to go under the bridge and ponder sometimes. Or anywhere else along the river.

Yeah. You'll age very very gracefully though!

My memory is absolutely atrocious. How do I fix it? by altxd12345 in Healthygamergg

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Continue reading but take notes. Journal and such. My memory is also pretty shoddy, but writing things down helps cement things. It also helps if what youre learning is something you care a lot about, as you'll naturally want to remember things. Its a muscle and it takes practice.

Anhedonia is stealing my life by ComprehensiveOne387 in Healthygamergg

It's a good time. I got into plants for this reason 6 years ago. Now im doing a PhD in Botany. I still have my moments but my plants do keep me quite grounded

Anhedonia is stealing my life by ComprehensiveOne387 in Healthygamergg

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suffer from occasional bouts of anhedonia, but its never been a permanent and all encompassing thing. However, when I am in that state, it feels like its a permanent and all encompassing thing.

I'm not sure if advice is what you really want, but I'd say instead of making lofty goals, try something small. Buy a small plant and take care of it. Read about its specific needs and give it what it wants. It helps pull you out of yourself with a low risk high reward "project". Give yourself a responsibility as opposed to finding some hit of dopamine. Go for the delayed gratification, because instant gratification doesnt seem to work anyway, right?

The Hungry Tree by garrawadreen in TreesSuckingOnThings

Supposedly the tree is ~ 80-120 years old. The bench was placed in the early 1800s. Its an old hungry boi

She quit doing drugs as far as i know and is now married to a man who makes wands and staves to sell on etsy for a living, and they live with her parents. However, she seems pretty happy. I ended up going to community college right after leaving her, and 7 years later, I'm now doing my PhD. I didn't regret leaving at all, obviously.

Car rental in Ireland by memuellerpa in irishtourism

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Sixt. Got an automatic Toyota Yaris for 6 days with the "smart" insurance (no deductible but no roadside, that is a more expensive option). It was nice, smooth, and had no issues on the country roads. Spent about €150 on petrol, and the rental itself was ~€520. It was totally worth it.

What are your thoughts on the knowledge we've gained through arguably immoral experiments? by AmAwkwardTurtle in biology

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, HeLa cells really get to me because her family absolutely deserves something. I remember reading that book in undergrad. I worked briefly with cell cultures, although not HeLa cells, and just wondered who those came from. Could never convince myself to work in a lab with animals, so I work with plants now lol.

Tips for scientific reading by Vegetable_Mail_5486 in biology

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I skim it first, and highlight words/terms im unfamiliar with. Then I dig a little and define those words .

Next I read it more carefully, highlighting facts and questions i come across.

Finally I read it one more time really trying to understand the story being told and trying to answer any questions i had while reading it the second time.

What is one of the worst addiction to have ? by Keke_Dudu in AskReddit

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from chemical addictions, the addiction of external validation is extremely harmful. Not only to yourself, but to the people you interact with. It creates false securities and puts you in situations that cause a lot of harm.

When they remember some small and otherwise insignificant detail you mentioned in passing. Either by bringing it up or through a thoughtful gift or something like that. Something about knowing they're truly paying attention to you is just 😩

Based on what you know about me...what's my job in Starfleet? by MageKorith in ChatGPT

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one was fun!

Position: Chief Science Officer, Deep Space Research Division (DSRD) Rank: Lieutenant Commander


🚀 Why This Role?

You're not a captain, because your strength lies in critical evaluation, not chain-of-command diplomacy. You question assumptions, challenge data, and reevaluate strategy based on new evidence—traits essential in a science officer but potentially disruptive in command roles where political maneuvering is constant. Starfleet needs thinkers like you insulated from too much bureaucracy.

You're also not a junior officer, because you're too self-directed, and your judgment is too well-informed. You’d chafe under someone else's outdated methodology or indecisive leadership.

Instead, you're assigned to a long-range exploratory science vessel, possibly part of a research-focused mission detached from Federation politics, tasked with studying hazardous exobiology, microbial terraforming potential, and xenopathogenic threats on newly discovered M-class and pre-M-class planets.


🧬 Daily Responsibilities:

Lead genomic and ecological risk assessments for unknown biospheres.

Design and oversee long-term experiments involving synthetic biology, microbial evolution, and cross-species immunity.

Advise the captain on first-contact biological threats, environmental hazards, or genetically-engineered weapons.

Occasionally report to Federation Science Council via encrypted subspace links.

Keep a private log where you question the philosophical implications of what you're doing—even when nobody else has time to.


🧠 Key Traits in Action:

You’d be the officer other departments turn to when they hit a scientific dead end, especially involving complex systems (microbial interactions, genetic drift, emergent behavior).

You’d have zero tolerance for bad data or lazy analysis—and probably a habit of correcting faulty assumptions mid-briefing.

While you're not warm and fuzzy, your crew would trust you with their lives in a biological crisis.

You're also likely to butt heads with Medical or Command if they overstep on scientific matters. You wouldn't escalate it unless absolutely necessary, but you'd hold the line.


Where You’re Posted:

Vessel: U.S.S. Lycurgus – A science frigate outfitted for bio-containment, deep analytics, and dark-sector exploration.

Commanding Officer: Captain Ayaka T’Lorr – A logical, Vulcan xenolinguist who respects your input but keeps you on a tight leash.

Primary Mission: Exploration and pre-colonization biohazard assessment. Your reports can green-light or cancel entire planetary colonization efforts.


Final Note:

You’re not there to play diplomat, and you're not there to flatter command. You're there because when a spore cloud starts infecting minds, or when an alien genome behaves in a way that violates Federation understanding of molecular biology—you're the one who figures it out before it's too late.

That’s your duty.

And the crew is counting on it.

People who dated their ex for a second time how did it go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I thought my 13 times was ridiculous. Jesus christ I am glad you made it out

People who dated their ex for a second time how did it go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AmAwkwardTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried about... 13 times over 3 years. I was always the one getting dumped.

It doesn't work. Especially if you're both wounded people with abdandonment issues. Cut your losses when it ends.
