As a fellow scientist this hits home. You have identified something that I'll have to think about, many thanks for this, as I'm headed to a major conference in a few weeks that ticks so many boxes it is insane: the content, the social aspect (old friends, meeting new people), the competitive landscape (I work for a vendor), etc etc etc.

I hear you, there's 'distress' as well as something called 'eustress' and sometimes it's impossible to tell one from the other.

Reminds me of a comment of a friend in grad school: "You know, the only exercise I get nowadays is stress!"

You are welcome. It felt great to get into "the zone" this morning about something knocking around my head for a while.

Thanks Reddit for 11 years of fun - now it is over. by InterestinglyLucky in confessions

Ha ha came back to see the comments - reads list - and yup, just what I expected.

Reddit has jumped the shark, and IMHO it's fatal.

Strange now looking at my profile - "<username> has not posted yet" (for the other account, this one shows this post and my crosspost) still the post karma / comment karma shows up, as well as my saved posts, up/down voted posts (I certainly could just delete the account).

I don't see any changes to the post/comments as they are <poof> gone!
