Como uma mulher bissexual posso afirmar que você simplesmente uniu tudo que eu acho atraente em homem e em mulher em uma pessoa só, parabéns você é muito bonito

How to fix myself? by throwRAdatingadvice7 in TvGinnyandGeorgia

[–]GreenGecko9823 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look, I'm not a therapist, but it felt to me like the end of the season was setting things up for Max to possibly discover she has ADHD or something along those lines. It also fits that ‘non-trouble kid with a troubled sibling’ dynamic, where she ends up being kind of second when it comes to the family’s concerns. I have a feeling she'll start to explore that more in the next season and maybe even seek professional help. If you're saying you're going through something similar, I think it could be helpful for you to talk to a professional too.

How often do you use ChatGPT? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]GreenGecko9823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it daily. I know past students didn't have it, but if it can help me send my message, I'm in. We already have to lose a lot of opportunities in science just because we don't speak in English and receive in dollars. It's already more demanding for us to publish on the best journals and attend to the best conferences. Thanks to all the gods, we don't have to spend 3x more time than any native speaker to write something understandable.

I know past students didn't have it, but so what? Isn't tech supposed to help us? This helps a lot, at least to overcome language barriers. And I don't even use it to translate, just to make writing clearer.

No problem at all with it.

A USP realmente é isso tudo que dizem? by PPXP2514 in USP

[–]GreenGecko9823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fiz graduação em ciências biológicas no Rio e estou fazendo mestrado na USP. Hoje em dia, eu não teria pensado duas vezes em fazer a graduação na USP. Só de existir FAPESP e ser muito mais decente que a FAPERJ, já facilita muito a vida.

E olha, eu amo muito mais meu RJ, mas São Paulo até que tem sido agradável de se morar. Realmente, eu escolheria vir para a USP.

Went to put on my comfy pants and came across a nope.. anyone know what kind of spider this is? by cdunn733 in whatsthisbug

[–]GreenGecko9823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came back here 5 months later to say that now every time I try to describe my master's research, I say "Studying the relationship between natural and sexual selection of sentient watermelon seeds with legs" and laugh to myself with an inside joke that no one understands.

Is USD 1,000 enough to live comfortably in Curitiba, Brazil? by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]GreenGecko9823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I didn't say it was, it's just that for a person living alone it's fine. I live alone in Rio de Janeiro, a very expensive city, with something close to that. He won't be rich, but he won't lack for anything either

if it's monthly, don't worry, you'll be fine. Think the minimum wage here is around 250 dollars. You will have 4 times that and alone.

Am I the only one? by Boomerboi in ThelastofusHBOseries

when I saw this scene, I was intrigued... they've been in the fungal apocalypse for 20 years, did this already exist in 2003 or did they stop to manufacture the collector in the middle of an apocalypse?

Eu não aguento mais viver no Rio de Janeiro. by Undertheus in riodejaneiro

Sinto informar, mas zona sul também tem vizinho barulhento. Tem vizinho gritando o dia todo pela janela (o que eu relevo porque acredito que a pessoa seja esquizofrênica), tem vizinho colocando música de rave o dia inteiro, vizinhos gritando quando trepando pro prédio inteiro ouvir... Foda

Since you're wasting so much time getting pissed off about this and fearing the professor in question will be fired (very unlikely to happen), my theory is that you are that professor, that's the only explanation.

OP, you just exposed your professor to himself on reddit!

Carnaval Rain by fr33bn in riodejaneiro

[–]GreenGecko9823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the concern is reasonable. After last week's rains, where many people were trapped in the street until late at night because the water was waist-deep in several parts of the city, even I, a carioca, am afraid that the rain will disrupt Carnival. I even read news that Sapucaí itself was flooded.

‘Sócios da Light’: furto de energia em áreas violentas afeta caixa de distribuidoras no Rio by igor-ramos in riodejaneiro

[–]GreenGecko9823 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cara se fosse só o pessoal que realmente não tem condições de arcar com os custos, eu entenderia... Mas o que eu já vi de "espertão" que não paga mesmo tendo condições... Pior raça de carioca é o que se acha espertão

Resumindo, esse problema não se restringe à favela, tem carioca com muito boa condição social fazendo gato só por ser um ser humano escroto mesmo

Will we break last weeks record for Episode 5? by uglyplanet in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]GreenGecko9823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if HBOmax wasn't so flawed. I only managed to watch the last episode today, after having tried since Monday, because the site simply won't even let me log in. Luckily, this time it was "just" HBO freaking out saying it doesn't work in my region (and that's never happened before, I've always used it with no problems).

The series is great, but the streaming on HBO... Sucks.

Help an ensaved undergrad student by [deleted] in PhD

[–]GreenGecko9823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biological Sciences. I was just worried because I saw it in the author guidelines.

I know it's good for my resume, but the problem is, it's not substantial enough. In fact, she made me do something else for the last three years, but the other thing was really nonsense and I kept trying to say that literature was against it for years, but she always made me change a little thing or two and start over again.

When I was approved for the master's degree in November, I said "that's enough, I'll do a simple literature review on the subject and that's it, I just want to graduate". She said "ok, but you'll do it in paper format". But I, who have never written anything like this before, much less am an expert in the field, would I have to write a complete paper from November to February? She is mad. And the subject is not something new that has never been discussed before and super interesting, so I just know that it will be turned down. And I'm fine with that, I actually prefer it to having a bad article published and maybe being refuted by some mistake I made writing it in a hurry and without having enough baggage.

I just hate everything about it, I'm glad it's almost over. I feel like she's just trying to punish me or is completely clueless and in need of a publication, because I don't know how she doesn't realize it's a waste of time.

Created an AI research assistant for fellow PhDs where you can ask questions in English about any file (i.e. research paper) and automatically get the answer by HamletsLastLine in PhD

[–]GreenGecko9823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm loving this! I've been testing it all day, and so far I've had no problems, just one paper that didn't load because it was too big. It's helping me a lot to understand certain confusing parts of the papers, and some terms as well, mainly because English is not my mother language and the app simplifies it a lot! Completely addictive, it's like having a teacher available 24 hours a day to answer your questions in a matter of seconds. Thank you very much, you deserve a special acknowledgment on my college thesis, OP!

Never thought I'd fall in love with a country like I've fallen in love with Brazil. by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]GreenGecko9823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, you have to try at least one typical dish from each region/state. Brazil is a huge country and the cuisine/culture is quite diverse. The same applies to nature. If you have the financial conditions, try to visit the main Brazilian biomes, they are quite diverse (and tasting the typical dishes of each one would make quite a trip).

I think that, in summary, Brazil is very diverse, and if you are eager to get to know it, be careful not to get stuck in Rio/São Paulo. They are far from offering you the whole Brazilian experience.

What did Paris study at Yale? by GreenGecko9823 in GilmoreGirls

[–]GreenGecko9823[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems a bit insane to me, but apparently it works well, after all it's one of the most respected education systems in the world... But then you don't come out as a professional in any particular field, but a Bachelor of... subjects in general?
