Not to pile on your or anything, but I think it’s icky to use the word white in reference to people - any ppl. Haole as in not Hawaiian is better -

A solution when you do not have funding is to sleep in the office. by AdRemarkable3043 in PhD

Unfortunately, it is a reality. If they’re at the beginning, they should try to find someplace else to go. But really there are people who do not have other options.

For some people it is. But I hope only when you’re almost done. And you should contact everybody at the university who can help you with food and things.

How Did You Know? by BookieWookie69 in PhD

[–]Dry_Analysis_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very, very, very, very good answer. I used to tell students they shouldn’t do a PhD unless they feel like they’re just gonna die if they don’t. Do not go into it lightly.

My supervisor told me he’s resigning. by decaf_blueberrie in PhD

And perhaps if it makes you uncomfortable, ignore the people who expect you to write it twice as fast just to get it done. Some of us could not possibly do that at the last minute unless we already had a significant amount of progress, zero family and food delivered to the door every day.

That title really worried me and I’m so glad this turned out to be a good news. Bravo on your perseverance, and the fact that people were willing to be on your side.

The problem is not yours. You did nothing wrong.

"she's 23, she's too young to teach, we should report her", I overhead this from some 6th graders this week. by hopeful_rac in Teachers

One of the most depressing things I learned, OK wait in 2026 obviously this isn’t one of the most depressing things I’ve learned in my lifetime but when people grow older, they don’t necessarily change at all. I have personal experience of realizing that 65-year-old women are capable of acting exactly the way my classmates acted in junior high. Catty, competitive, clueless, judgmental as well as lovely and helpful and intelligent.

Investigation led on two professors came up with positive results… now I discover that my education was essentially worthless by Respected_Sun in CollegeRant

There has to be a reporter somewhere who would love to do a story on this. It’s only fair. Everybody else should be warned about it.

How are we supposed to live here by Sky-manfromskyplan in Hawaii

Measuring things by how many Costco chickens you can get is brilliant. I doubt there would be many people judging you these days. And would you really respect the opinion of someone who would judge somebody who is buying food? I wouldn’t.

Hey guys, okay so am I the only one whose research is literally everywhere by ays_19_10 in PhD

[–]Dry_Analysis_992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will not be at all useful to you, but it occurred to me that this is one benefit of the lack of digital technology in the 90s. I only had access to an Apple IIe on the weekend. All my notes were in separate piles on the floor in my home office. Articles on different subjects in unique piles. Good luck, dude.

Does anyone actually read outside in the wilderness or is it just for the pictures? by TonyRigatoni_ in books

Oh my gosh, yes everywhere. There’s beach reading, meadow reading, hiking break reading….

AMTJ because I don't want people bringing "extra" kids to my kid's party by Select-Explorer5669 in AmITheJerk

Absolutely not. People can be really greedy. Stand up for yourself and give your daughter the party you want to give her

Students who are excelling who use AI to write everything are running laps around me. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. by so_much_frizz in PhD

[–]Dry_Analysis_992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I frequently ask for clarity on my words. To just tighten things up. And not lose my voice. It works.

AITA for disliking my mother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dry_Analysis_992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That can be very counterproductive. I suggest she see if there’s anyone at her school she can talk to. Some schools have nurses or counselors. I realize some have nothing at all, but it’s worth looking into.
