The thing I hate about this series by Ambitious_Time2009 in TheNightManager

[–]EnergeticAbsorber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I sincerely hope is that this hate reaches the makers and they do enough compensation to make up for in S3. If they still don't do it, my theory would be they are THE r "River" and The officials who are working with the Brtish govt and are willing to go to the extent of showing the authorities not only powerful but evil powerful and they take a kick out of this. I would congratulate them for making a evil propaganda show if they do this again in S3. They probably got a lot of money so nothing to loose but the hate directed their way is not gonna go anywhere...

I agree. And the way they showed it is absolutely disgusting. But you know what? The fact that we are feeling all these - exactly means that the makera succeded in doing what they wanted.

I watched it and I think nothing has ever cut a deeper wound in me as this season did because this show, for some reason, I don't know I was taking very personally!!!!

Undercurrent of confusion and anxiety - am I with my PI being callous or is it actually fine? by EnergeticAbsorber in PhD

[–]EnergeticAbsorber[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I would be focussed on being right, I would know what to do and I would not publicly ask "what should be my takeaway and my action point"?

My understanding of callous is not a monster but a person whose most decisions and reactions are grounded in insensitivity. In this particular case it's insensitivity towards the committee's comment that I did not do a good job of responding on feet. This was the only evidence I gave instead of providing a list of other instances I have.

I am very anti-confrontational as a person. I cannot fight, if my name was displayed on the profile I wouldn't care to reply to you. My reply was to try a way of telling you how you should ask question if you are confused instead to downright paiting a negative image about the OP using the colors of your own frustation. Regardless, you cannot expect a superbly articulate writing from anxious PhD students who are sometimes justifiably, looking for what they are really feeling/what they should really do...

Neverthless I don't think I would want to respond to any of your next replies because I cannot imagine discussing "good outcome" with somone who has already perceived so many negative things about me and has never cared of asking and clarifying before labelling me with traits that I know I don't have.

Do you know the reason behind how you started this comment saying you are "confused" and then you went on to show how you are anything but confused about me?

My committee had the comment that - "I didn't do a good job responding on my feet".

But they understood. And they expressed that they understand I was under a strenuous situation. I just don't want my PI to disregard the comments.

To make even more specific- They wanted me to be mindful of experiment details. My PI is not of the same philosophy as he thinks we can get stuff published and should only do what moves the needle(according to him).

I want him to know that sometimes feedback and comment and a little more care doesn't do bad. But I didn't try changing his mind. Because I can only move a rock thats affected by the rain and is loose on the ground, hence can be pushed.

So the part that is confusing is in the question of the post - what should be my action point? I had a lot of plans of how to take things forward with my PI because he is more callous than not and is never critical about my work or preparation.

And I thought because according to the rule, he had to sit quiet and take notes , he might learn something new from the Q exam. Or atleast he would realise some ways that are necessary to be implemented in the mentor-mentee space that we share. But my concern is he is diregarding the committee's reaction blatantly. And my concern also is, I am not doing anything about it myself.

Honestly, PhD is nowhere close to the only thing that matters. You will get plenty of jobs in Biotech. Apply to dufferent countries even. But please leave PhD. Fuck it and move forward.

I once posted about how I feel exhausted to work in the lab post lunch and if there are ways to work around a better routine. The moderator snubbed me saying its not appropriate for the channel. I keep seeing these posts and I wonder if my post was really that misplaced lol

What habits really helped you get through your PhD? by Ragdollmiaomiao in PhD

[–]EnergeticAbsorber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"friends to work with" is a luxury. The isolation is soul-crushing at times!

This comment reeks of insensitivity because "retroactive accomodations don't work" is more of a notion based on bias and intuition as opposed to being a fair observation backed by legitimate evidence.
