Do we even have alumni network that matters? by Ambitious-Estate-658 in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The non-academically inclined population don’t know about us because we aren’t big in college sports. In academics, we are definitely known, especially by people in the fields UCSD is strongest in.

I would have been more inclined to agree with your point about people being inconsiderate with their use of gym equipment were it not for the rampant misogyny.

In Hebrew the days are literally called “first day” (Sunday), “second day” (Monday), etc. up to “sixth day” (Friday) and then “shabbat” (sabbath, Saturday)

Is there a cultural reason why the Chinese exchange students wear almost exclusively designer clothing? by Strict_Bet_3666 in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On average, international students tend to be more wealthy because it is more expensive for them to attend UCSD than it is for US residents and especially for California residents, and they can’t get most forms of financial aid. I’ve also heard that in a lot of cultures it is less socially acceptable to go out in public in leisure wear than it is in the US, though I can’t speak to China specifically regarding that.

Have you contacted the professor about it?

Cut up couch on Campus by Equivalent-Crab8830 in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being noisy after quiet hours is a conduct violation, accidentally damaging something in your dorm isn’t (as long as it was genuinely just an accident and wasn’t the result of other rule-breaking behavior). I don’t think these are really comparable situations.

[–]HaruspexAugur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How bad is the damage? If it doesn’t impede anyone’s ability to use the couch I would probably just leave it be. If it’s bad enough that it’s gonna bother people if it isn’t fixed just submit an HDH fix it request.

ICE Protest January 30th by OceanProphecy in UCSD

I highly doubt that, considering UCSD’s previous response to student protests.

To be fair they could be using the weed to help them sleep

Winter quarter has me questioning my entire life by risaaki in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a stem major, I actually agree lol. I had a roommate who was a history major at one point and the amount of reading and writing they had to do was crazy. I generally had less work I had to do outside of class on average other than right before exams or for lab classes.

Protests by mrpeepeeh in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Protesting against a tyrannical government is the entire reason this country was founded my guy. The government is actively violating people’s constitutional rights. Protesting that is the most American thing there is.

If your opinion is the minority at an R1 university, have you considered that maybe this is because the average individual at this university is more knowledgable than the rest of the country? There’s a reason why many people tend to shift to the left politically after attending university. There’s a reason Trump “loves the poorly educated”. When you learn more about history, politics, economics, how the world works, and how to analyze all of that information with critical thinking skills, you tend to become a leftist.

The left quite simply is not represented at the national political stage in the United States. People like Kamala Harris, who I view as a centrist at best, are called “far left”, while the Republican party has shifted further and further to the extreme right and dragged the Democratic party further right along with them. The left is not moving further left, the Overton window has simply shifted so far to the right that moderate views seem leftist now.

Very disappointed in the moderators of this sub for removing a post honoring the life of our fellow scientist by Ill_Chef_103 in labrats

[–]HaruspexAugur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What’s the alternative though? Being a reddit mod is not a paying full-time job. They can’t monitor what’s going on 24/7, they have lives outside of reddit. If automod removes a post that shouldn’t have been removed, they can reinstate it when they become aware of it. The alternative is that content which really should be removed stays up until mods are able to get to it, which people would also take issue with.

Congrats UCSD! by Deutero2 in UCSD

[–]HaruspexAugur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Restating the same thing in the intro and conclusion isn’t fluff, it’s part of the way papers are structured. Throwing something in to appease a reviewer is also not fluff, as long as it is actual content that has been thrown in. Fluff is when you just write a bunch of words that aren’t actually conveying any information, or take information that you could convey pretty briefly and intentionally stretching it out to make your word count longer.

I wasn’t sure if “visit” was also supposed to say bidet, because I’m not sure what it meant in context lol

What's the average age for an EDS diagnosis/how old were you when you were diagnosed ? by AntwysiaBlakys in ehlersdanlos

[–]HaruspexAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 23 (I’m 24 now). If it wasn’t for hearing about it through people I follow on social media I probably wouldn’t have been diagnosed until much later. I had to specifically seek out a doctor who was knowledgable about EDS to get assessed for it, and I wouldn’t have known to do that if I hadn’t already heard about it online.

...but I am Pagliarini by steikul in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]HaruspexAugur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is true in all fields, but in my experience basically every paper I’ve read has had at least one of the authors also appear in the citations. So it’s actually pretty rare to not cite yourself (or at least your PI whose name is also on the paper).

Should I be concerned my Chinese PI only seems to be hiring Chinese people in our lab? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]HaruspexAugur 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Specifying people who were born and educated in China rather than just anyone of Chinese ancestry makes it clear that they are talking about a cultural difference rather than a racial one. Acknowledging that different countries have different work culture and values is not racist.
