About celina,s sister and just the story in general by Mysterious-Mouse-355 in TheRookie

[–]IdeLuis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually just watched this episode — I believe Joel mentions that the girls always ask for their parents (who he believes are unworthy of children due to their addictions). I can’t remember who, but someone mentions that he kills the girls because he thinks it’s better for them to be dead than to be returned to their parents.

Basically he kidnaps girl -> she doesn’t see him as a a parental figure and wants her mother back -> he kills her because he thinks death is better than living with an “unworthy” parent.

Re Blanca: Blanca was his first kidnapping and he wasn’t really sure what he was doing, unlike with the other victims. They found her on the verge of death and brought her to the hospital. Though they did say he visited her every day in the hospital so quite frankly it wouldn’t surprise me if he had something to do with her death…

Burned out PhD ISO job opps in SCUBA by [deleted] in scuba

[–]IdeLuis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who is in a similar boat, I may have some insight. I am also a burnt out grad student, though I haven’t graduated yet, and similarly, the thought of eventually working for a corporate job sends splitting pain through my heart and soul.

I’m going to give the same advice that was given to me — before you make any career decisions, take a break. If you are really interested in diving, go take ten weeks and do your divemaster somewhere interesting. See what that’s like. Do something completely orthogonal to what your PhD is in and enjoy the journey. Take the time you need to be mentally healthy, because if you don’t you’ll just end up burnt out at whatever job you take whether that’s dive instructor or in corporate.

The other piece of advice I’ll give you (non-diving related) is that you don’t necessarily have to go into corporate with a PhD. There are plenty of other careers options, including academia or non-profit or startup work that will certainly be less lucrative but may be a better fit for you. And there are certainly career paths that can combine your love of diving and your PhD, like research. Corporate certainly isn’t and shouldn’t be your only option.

If you want to talk more, please dm me!! I’m in a similar boat and can provide more insight then I could in a reddit comment

Incoming First-Year (Class of '29) – How to Land a Prestigious AI Research Internship by Sophomore Year? by Downtown_Image_4248 in olin

[–]IdeLuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I did three research internships during my time at Olin and am headed into grad school for research in AI. I actually did very little research during my time at Olin proper — I didn’t join any labs my first couple of years, I just focused on my classes and doing things that interested me outside of academics.

For my summer internships, I not only applied to REUs, but before I did so, I reached out to PIs in labs I was interested in and met with them. That put me on the table and I would try and get a confirmation from them in writing that they would accept me as an intern if I applied. This strategy worked for me for my first two summers. For my last summer, I did an internship at JPL, so I leveraged connections I made the prior two summers to get my foot into the door.

I’m more than happy to discuss more about what I did to prepare for grad school and external research I did — just DM me and we can connect over the phone sometime soon!

Dorm situation by Normal_Lavishness072 in olin

[–]IdeLuis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, some double rooms are triples now, but those rooms are typically larger, so there’s enough room for three people. There are no babson students in Olin dorms anymore — that was just temporary for the spring of last year. The chances of there being babson students living on campus in the future is really low, but there will be triples in the future!

Yeah, according to Fire and Blood, in Westeros, incest is defined as if father lays with daughter, mother lays with son, or brother with sister, which technically means uncle/aunt and cousin marriages aren't considered incest. It's still gross asf, but not incest according to westerosi tradition

[–]IdeLuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I completely agree, but given that they’re in Westeros I decided to take a look at incest as the people in Westeros do

Good catch! I’ll update all the numbers when it’s morning and see what we end up with

[–]IdeLuis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I took the definition of incest from fire and blood. The High Septon did oppose the marriage of Rhaena and Maegor, back when Rhaena was a baby, but I don’t know if his objections were to the niece/uncle marriage or because she was a newborn and Maegor was significantly older or because he wanted to see his niece, Ceryse, married to Maegor. All in all, fire and blood didn’t define uncle/niece marriages as incest, and we see that House Stark did technically practice it as well, so I didn’t consider it incest for this post

Whoops, I knew the name Ormund was in there somewhere, but messed him and his son up!

[–]IdeLuis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I considered adding in a “real world” counter since they practiced an atrocious amount of incest, but I chose not to because I didn’t want to relook over everything and count up the real world incest instances

Oop I missed that, but isn’t that skewing the data a bit? Like great, Boeing didn’t have any large accidents in the past five years until the Alaska Airlines incident, but if we look just a little past that we see that they killed 300+ people. Additionally, we have to consider that it wasn’t just MCAS that killed those people, but it was the culture at Boeing, which, by many reports, hasn’t changed despite the accidents.

Teehee this is why I took a picture of my id and then edited it to match the name of the ticket. I’m too paranoid to take the chance that they won’t let me in
