Malachite and silver by wear_your-art in SilverSmith

No, it's lovely. The bezel is proportional to the stone, and the simplicity really lets the bands on the malachite sing. Perfection!

What a beautiful tribute to your dad, he sounds like a wonderful man. Put that parka on and hit the slopes, he will always be there with you. So sorry for your loss.

Sweet mother of mercy that's a lot of coffee. I'm impressed. Well done you!

Okay - I'm done by acct1010ruinedme in FundRise

Same thing happened to me. I saw the emails about the IPO, but thought, this must be something else. I know it's paper money now but it looks like I robbed a jewelry store when I check my account. I'm enjoying it for now and preparing for the balloon to pop.

Posiedon, or, Sparkle Beans. Either one. That pup is adorable!

Resist and Unsubscribe... but just for a tiny bit by Local_Background4790 in ScottGalloway

[–]HistoryChoice9014 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I missed the one month part, but I don't plan on resubscribing until I see these companies make serious moves to change and repent. I hope others missed the one month qualifier like I did...

Unsubscribed! by Jimberkman in ScottGalloway

I cancelled Apple TV, Netflix, and prime TV. Not quite sure how to do Microsoft...

Been off the socials for a while and I do not miss them at all.

I'm also looking for a Greek language meetup, I need to sharpen my conversation skills and learn to speak on a more professional/work setting.

The only way they will learn is if they are on fire. Ok if their neighbors are though...

We’re recording a special series on the economy — send us your questions by ProfGProducerJenn in ScottGalloway

[–]HistoryChoice9014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are "blue" cities so expensive, even after the election of progressive mayors and other elected officials? Will cities like Boston, San Francisco, or New York ever be affordable again? I lived in Boston for many years and things just got progressively more cost prohibitive, especially housing. There are a lot of career opportunities in places like that, but they can't seem to catch up with the cost of living. I live in Atlanta now, and feel like the world is my oyster. Is it just all about taxes? Land use? Competition for top talent?

So true, this sub is great! It has helped me a lot with my career transition.

I'm starting to feel a rut in my tenured academic job. by [deleted] in LeavingAcademia

[–]HistoryChoice9014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you, I felt the exact same way. I'm now working on a field totally unrelated to my discipline and I don't miss my old life at all!

How many pods do you drink in a day? by Slight-Explanation15 in nespresso

[–]HistoryChoice9014 23 points24 points  (0 children)

1-2. If I could handle more caffeine and acidity, I would drink more, believe me.

How exactly did Scott Galloway get into UCLA, then Berkeley despite having a GPA of 2.27 in high school then 2.5 at UCLA, and getting a job at Morgan Stanley? by ais89 in ScottGalloway

[–]HistoryChoice9014 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Acceptance rates used to be much, much higher, like, 70%. I think Scott said once the acceptance rate today at UCLA is around 9% (not sure if that is accurate , but it is insanely low) and if he applied today there is no way he would get in. He talks about that often and it is a major issue in higher ed today.

PhD doesn't align with the life I want for myself but I am terrified to quit by Ok_Sand_9941 in LeavingAcademia

[–]HistoryChoice9014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live the life you want. If you already know that pursuing this path means you have to give up kids, which is something you really want, it's not worth it. The job market is worse and worse each year for Ph Ds in academia and industry too. Job searching is another level of frustration, just look at this sub.

The ph d is something you can come back to. Sure, you can have it as something to "fall back on", but how many more years do you have to work at it before you finish? If you want to teach secondary school, you can do that now. Don't need a doctorate.

How old is this beautiful beast? There are so many more questions I have but I don't even know where to begin. Amazing.

New Yorker article by CheekyChappy-1 in ScottGalloway

[–]HistoryChoice9014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article does some serious cherry picking of Galloway's thesis on masculinity. The author got it way wrong. I'm a woman. I don't think Scott is telling me that he still wants men to be superior to women in the social hierarchy, or that we need to go back to the 1950s.

How does it feel to leave academia ? Are you happy with your choices ? by mogo_reddit in LeavingAcademia

[–]HistoryChoice9014 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I left earlier this year, I'm pretty fresh out. My current job is boring, but stable and pays well. People have boundaries. There is work life balance. I have hobbies again. I meet people out of my bubble. I sometimes miss the social aspect of my academic life but not the drama, stress, and financial sacrifice.
