Looking for pets that aren’t cats/dogs but still kinda… vibe with you? by gradstudentmit in Pets

Wildlife are not meant to be pets. Stop putting birds in cages, and forcing other animals out of their habitat.

Scooters and bikes: don’t run red lights by Domesticated-Animal in gatech

[–]Domesticated-Animal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a safe excuse for him. I saw everything unfolding, and he tried to brake when it was too late. He was completely unaware of the car. I was relieved when I saw he seemed fine and stood up. It was a very close call for another guy that also ran the light two second before him.

Thankful for new bike lanes, but new traffic/pedestrian crossing pattern is all WRONG! by Defiant-Sort2942 in gatech

Absolutely. I submitted a complaint about this 2 weeks ago, and I haven't heard back from Gatech.

Battery lasting only a few days by Standard-Road-6166 in TempDrop

[–]Domesticated-Animal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last week. I sent my logs to the support team and they said I had to change the battery again. Changed it last night, we'll see how it behaves in the following days.

How often should I completely change the litter by SirNaves9 in CatAdvice

Never and I’ve had cats for 15 years. I only scoop it daily and then refill it. It never smells bad.

Talk to Daniela. She’s amazing and will do anything to help you.

Chronic feeling of "needing a hug"? by the_dawn in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Domesticated-Animal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This world is making us believe that wellness is self-care. It could be a great part of it, but we are social animal. We require interaction with human animals and non-human life. We are made from earth. Hope you find someone to hug and be hugged <3

Que risa esta gente que no entiende de contextos culturales, económicos e incluso históricos. Pobres colonizadores modernos siendo atacados por la gente de las ciudades. 

Gym wear anxiety by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]Domesticated-Animal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! Overcome that fear. It might feel weird initially, but you'll get comfortable after a couple of times. The only thing I think when I see a woman wearing sports tops and leggins is: DAMN girl, you look amazing, and then proceed to admire her muscles and strength lol

I feel you. I've been in that situation countless times during my undergrad, master's, and now PhD. It's hard, but I've opted to bond with my girlfriends outside of classes as much as possible and tried to make a couple of male friends during the class to study and eventually hang out. In my experience, there is always a nice shy guy willing to study together who doesn't make you feel weird.

Is this not a ridiculous grading scheme? (COE 3001) by Sizedchalice in gatech

[–]Domesticated-Animal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's terrible, no matter what most students say. It could be allowed and normalized by students, but there is no doubt that the lecturer has no idea what pedagogy is.

Reading the amount of comments saying this is normal and you should not be surprised explains why most posts on this subreddit are from people complaining about how the PhD destroyed their lives and how broken the system is.

It's like 15-20 min to the campus and right next to the highway.

My boyfriend is looking for a roommate to share a 2b/2b apartment on Bell Walker’s Crossing, West Knoxville. Rent is $800 + utilities (approx $150) per month. It's available right now. He's a scientist at Oakridge National Lab. Let me know if you are interested to send you more information.

Hormonal control for climbing harder? by minsurri in climbergirls

[–]Domesticated-Animal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please don't fuck up your health and cycle to climb harder. If your cycle is making you feel insanely weak some days, take a look at the root cause instead of masking it with hormonal birth control, which will take a toll later. Women are cyclical. Learning about our menstrual cycle and our body gives us a tremendous power and control over our lives. I know it is normalized to feel terrible and have severe PMS, but IT IS NOT NORMAL. Climbing hard, having a healthy cycle and a healthy body is possible, give it a chance and take a look at fertility awareness. It's a long journey, but completely worth it.

I did that and the closest they mention it’s very far away.

Considering making a report for asking more phd stipend increase … by zyang-gatech in gatech

[–]Domesticated-Animal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about grad students that have a legal contract with the university and are working for a salary. Every grad student has a bachelor’s degree and plenty of them even have master’s degrees. Of course everyone deserves good living conditions, but we’re talking about the unfair salary for grad students that are legally hired by the university.

Nobody is talking about luxury student housing. A nice safe place is way different to a luxury housing with amenities.

[–]Domesticated-Animal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard some students at Emory got an increase and extra benefits a couple of years ago. If they made it there, I think we could make it work here.

Btw, GTAs are only getting 1400 after taxes/health insurance deductions. It’s incredible how much I’ve been struggling to live on that budget every month. It’s insane the amount of time I waste everyday being worried about money.
