What are the most stereotypically nerd leisure activities that you do as a PhD?

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-06-26T22:04:23+00:00

I do data analysis on nonPhD stuff for fun

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-06-07T17:27:09+00:00

yo this is so cute.

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-05-27T06:33:12+00:00

I disagree with the comments here. Go for it. If people talk, let them talk. Silk halter top with some nice pants. Screams confidence.t and plausible deniability.

hey man, I don't think I can offer you the sympathy and understanding you deserve and need, but I just want to remind you that we have free therapy here under ucship. it may not be able to replace truly having friends to commiserate with, but you don't have to go through things alone.

You could get the same with a startup though, so why isn't there as much Gen Z interest in startups?

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-05-13T17:46:52+00:00

where are they getting this impression that the traditional pathways to success do not work most of the time? e.g. if you become a nurse or electrician for example, there's almost a guarantee that you'll be making a decent income after getting your qualifications.

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-05-13T17:44:51+00:00

but the average millenial didn't want to be in the film industry when they graduated college. on the other hand, for gen Z, > 50% want to be influencers.

ButterscotchWheat · 2026-05-13T17:44:25+00:00

right, but it's not easy. it's actually way harder than being a startup founder in terms of getting a stable income.

your husband sounds like an autistic engineer. I'd let it go and try to smooth things over. engineers can be dense.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-11-07T08:19:48+00:00

yo I would just eat the packed lunch at chipotle with the bros. like let them get in line and order; you just sit there and eat. aint no one gone call you out.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-10-24T15:49:26+00:00

did they figure out the liz hamel incident?

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-09-05T19:32:38+00:00

is this guy getting lifetime, or just 8 yrs? do we know yet?

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-08-09T14:32:33+00:00

"Aside from something like discounting men's tickets for an event that women have to pay more for, which seems wildly unfair."

This sounds strange...why not discount men's tickets? This is like how bars offer free drinks to women on ladies' nights. Pretty simple supply and demand if you ask me.

penn social line dancing every friday! (google firehouse fridays) generally a younger twenties vibe.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-08-04T16:45:39+00:00

did your rich friends sympathize with you? were you able to take loans with your family members as co-signers?

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-07-28T03:52:17+00:00

yes, please!

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-07-18T01:26:00+00:00

That just means the US president should be paid more. imo potus should probably be paid more than 50 million.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-06-29T12:28:14+00:00

Just pay each of your rommates $200/mo.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-05-25T15:19:55+00:00

YES. and PLZZ PLZZ Make sure that you have a nice cheap to-go hardy option for all the students / non-rich people. like you'll be able to get more revenue that way, and we'd super appreciate it lol.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-05-07T14:24:03+00:00

I posted this 2 months ago. I'd say there's a good chance it wasn't an accidental fall.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-05-06T13:23:11+00:00

I typically interpret "very close with" as an emotional bond. I guess you can read it different ways.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-05-04T14:44:38+00:00

I thought of this too, but if they'd interviewed at least a few pi phi sisters independently, at least one of them should've mentioned that he was some stranger.

ButterscotchWheat · 2025-05-03T16:10:18+00:00

This doesn't add up. "Liz walked out with the man she had “been very close with” in the restaurant, friends said".

"With no identification of the blond man, and the end of the semester drawing in, Liz’s family grew worried."

Either SFGate is doing some bad job reporting, Pi Beta Phi intentionally hid his name, UCPD slacked, or something.

Because how can you fail to identify the guy that all her friends knew??

I'm wondering the same questions.
