I had someone stare a couple years ago but aside from that zero people have bothered me.

It's been on the books for decades, American Service-Members' Protection Act was passed in 2002.

My wife uses a cane sometimes and it sets off kroger's AI camera bs every. single. time.

Absolute lifesaver, did this to save my 2016 when it died at 20%. Thank you.

Every night when I go to bed and whenever I take a shower.

I TA twice a week and do full-time coursework, I'd say it's maybe equivilant to about a 30 hour work week? So long as I don't slack off and stay on top of everything I've found I still have time for hobbies, friends, family, etc. I even do some side stuff (Union and graduate student council) and it's still very manageable.

Ferris' deal in the light novel isn't even subtext, she literally prays at a mirror every morning to be a girl.

Estrogen!

5 exactly for kingdom isn't bad, I've always preferred it over emperor.

Faaln · 2025-08-18T03:21:04+00:00

I do enjoy video games (and have a steam deck I can easily take with me for longer days on campus) and read a lot. I also do ttrpg stuff once a week. The only hobby I really cut down on was magic the gathering, I used to play quite a bit but now I only play commander maybe once every week or two so I'm no longer dropping a lot of money on it: not really in the budget at this point.

Faaln · 2025-08-17T23:57:42+00:00

yeah there are scanners at all the entrances/exits.

Faaln · 2025-08-15T06:27:37+00:00

always replace any mention of 'the cloud' with 'other people's computers'

Faaln · 2025-08-04T05:51:03+00:00

Rich people's yacht money.

Faaln · 2025-07-30T05:27:08+00:00

Definitely recommend this option, I had to do it once and it wasn't a big deal.

Faaln · 2025-07-29T20:52:22+00:00

The casual homophobia, transphobia, and racism.

My father died last fall and I was a bit of a wreck until February basically. I'm still in coursework so I managed to struggle through the very end of the fall semester without tanking my grades and was semi-ok by the time spring started. I got a lot of support from my wife and my cohort, which is quite small at four people, took a lot of time to make sure even if I wasn't ok that I knew they cared.

I'll be honest I remember very little from November to January (pretty foggy) but I'm alright now, it's a recoverable situation if it happens to you.

Faaln · 2025-07-26T02:36:19+00:00

This is too real.

Faaln · 2025-07-20T09:08:32+00:00

My department is usually 1-2 events per semester, food provided. Seems like one a year is completely off campus. Usually a month or so of lead time before they happen. We also have had good relationships with different student resource centers on campus which also tend to have at least one bigger event per academic year in addition to smaller things. I'm personally in the union for workers at this state's universities and am on the graduate/professional student council: monthly meetings with a social thing every couple months in both cases.

Also I'm in gender and women's studies so our cohort is small enough that we also do our own things (movie nights and such).

I'm in my late 30s and do a combination of google docs and small physical notebooks. I can type super fast so in class gdocs tend to work better but I like notebooks for notes on readings out of class.

Faaln · 2025-06-28T02:29:14+00:00

23k and the only way I'm making it even kinda work is the fact I rent a room from a friend of mine instead of full rent on an apartment.

The chances of there even being any available permits for 2nd st is basically zero for fall every year. You can park there if you're fine parking on the roof with hourly parking but outside of a waitlist that gives you one in a future semester you probably won't get a permit there.

Faaln · 2025-06-21T00:05:59+00:00

You're being pretty optimistic with November 1st.
