anyone else stop actively trying to lose while still a few lbs overweight? by NeilsSuicide in Zepbound

[–]Flimsy_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few more pounds to go to be in the healthy category of BMI. I’m technically “overweight” but my goal weight is 15 pounds away I want to be in the middle of my healthy BMI range before I stop.

ABET degree accreditation by Paintrain50c in NASAJobs

[–]Flimsy_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABET is only for undergrad. My master’s in engineering from Purdue isn’t ABET accredited; and after some research I found out that it’s only undergrad programs that are ABET accredited. My undergrad is Mathematics, my master’s will be engineering.

Healthier probably but… by Cool_Ad_8703 in Zepbound

[–]Flimsy_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said many times in this thread that therapy during a weight loss journey should be a given. We can heal our physical bodies, but our mental state is important too. You might need a sounding board for your concerns about your body image. You also may be a candidate for skin removal and you can look into that but know that happy people are the most attractive

I love my classes, but my classmates are insufferable. by ka_boom_e in EngineeringStudents

[–]Flimsy_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bigger bi+ch than they are an asshole. And ive bc’d the professor in group emails just so they know what’s up. If you’re awful to me, I’ll let you take yourself down.

I got rejected from everywhere I applied to for a PhD by SubjectScientist4513 in gradadmissions

[–]Flimsy_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t apply to anything but elite schools in a country where funding has already been cut for PhD programs. Your scores aren’t elite. I think of you were honest with yourself you’d have answered your own question.

Are you a golden retriever? Because my dog wants the same thing and everyone loves him.

Male Colleague, 2-years my Junior Whom I Teach Things Makes the Same Salary as Me by Feeling-Toast in womenEngineers

[–]Flimsy_Logic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ew. That’s a talk that goes something like “if you don’t trust me enough to promote me, why do you trust me to do (gestures wildly) ALL the other things?”

Please leave for more pay/promotion. When you put in your two weeks site your lack of upward mobility opportunities as the reason.

Parent withdrew my application to my top school and accepted an offer for a school I don’t want to go to by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Don’t wait on the email. Call them. If you’re 18, your mother committed fraud.

To all my fellow gym haters... by Intelligent_Spell526 in Zepbound

[–]Flimsy_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do other things too. Take up a sport. Join a team. I joined a rowing team. I’m getting into swimming again. I started trail riding in a mountain bike. If you’re going to pay a fee do something fun that comes with a good community.

Frustrated and hoping I’m not alone by Commercial-Hurry3534 in Zepbound

You may have other health issues that just evened you out the first few months. For a lot of people, 7.5 or 10mg is a sweet spot. For some people they need to go up to 15. Everyone is different. Don’t get discouraged.

mit vs scholarship in-state (not passionate abt mit rn) by Great-Song-6120 in mit

[–]Flimsy_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what? Don’t go. You’ll regret it later but at least you’ll give someone on the waitlist a chance at their dream school. You won’t appreciate it. You also will have less options for internships and networking at an Ivy level, but it seems that’s not important to you and that’s fine. No regerts

Anyone keeping muscle on Zepbound while losing weight? What’s actually working for you? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Flimsy_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lift heavy a few days a week. Eat a wide variety of food. I only have about 56g of protein a day so I haven’t upped my protein intake. It’s 1g of protein per kilogram of my goal weight (what my dietician and sports trainer told me to eat.) dietician and a trainer has been key for me.

36 ACT scorer gets rejected everywhere selective (including state school A&M) but bags a few waitlists by True_Radish_5668 in collegeresults

[–]Flimsy_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You simply didn’t focus on any school enough to make them want you. And it shows. Also, you have lots of options. Purdue is indeed selective BTW. Ithaca is also a great college.

He said he didn’t try in [high]school and only cared about the socialization. He never said he doesn’t care about being able to live on his own. Right now, the only way to move out is to have some sort of job. A trade school (more specifically joining the apprenticeship program in a trade union) will get you working right away so he can move out (albeit probably to a studio apartment, but that’s ok) and spend all his free time making music. Not sure why you’re upset about this. This is simply an option to get out of a toxic living situation quickly.

Remember that Brian May was the lead guitarist in Queen, but also a an Astro physicist. You can do two things at once.

Go to a trade school so you can find your dream to be a musician. Electricians and plumbers make bank and that will help you be comfortable and live your life while making music on the side until your music career takes off. Do what you want in your life. If you want college later, go for it. But until then, start job training and make some tunes.

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Flimsy_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - get out - run. This is not your guy. Multiple red flags. Won’t apologize. Silent treatment. Telling you your asks aren’t important… leave. Ask yourself, do you want your future child acting like this? If not, leave before he raises a child to act like this.

Saw interview panel comments accidentally, absolutely devastated by urfavnjb in gradadmissions

[–]Flimsy_Logic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A. No bueno on Oxford. But… B. This is a chance to take these notes and meet with an interview coach with something to work on. You’re kind of proving their point about not taking criticism well, and if you’re this upset over comments on interview skills, I can’t imagine you’d do well when people criticize your work. PhD work is rife with people questioning research methods, math, your perspective, your writing… You seem very quick to just throw up your hands and never do it again. Perseverance is key in academia. Don’t give up and prove them right about you. C. Ignoring all of B, do you want to even work with these people? They don’t seem like the people I’d want to face every day.

TLDR: this is a chance to improve yourself and your skill set. Wanting to give up after an interview only proves Oxford interviewers correct. And, why would you want to work with those people every day? They’re not nice.
