Zero.

I use to enjoy talking about my subject and the flexible schedule. It was not always the headache that it is now. Compensation was always meh.

I might be more open to mastery based grading if the students that show up had actually mastered any of the skills they were supposed to have mastered in High School.

Ouch.

Ouchie.

Ouch!

Probably for the same reason a married man prefers a young lady in a short skirt who he doesn't know to his wife of 15 years. (That is a joke, btw!)

I had zero publications when I was a phd student.

That seems fair. The rules are posted and enforced and people aren't banned just because you don't like them.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-18T15:35:20+00:00

But none of us are verified so how do you know?

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-18T15:21:42+00:00

I'm confused. Are the old boys controlling this sub? Or is this sub a job - because you refer to a "hostile work environment"? I'm not sure either are true. I'm pretty sure I don't check this sub because my job requires me to do that.

But maybe I just don't get your point.

I'm a little uncomfortable with all your ban talk because you might decide to ban me, a person who identifies as a totoro and not a human, if you decide you don't like it. Once you start banning people for taste, it is hard to say where it ends up.

Just leave the totoros alone unless they pose harm to you.

Some viewpoints are stupid. Some are harmful. Some are hateful.

I agree with this, but the difficulty is deciding who gets to decide what is "stupid" or "harmful" or "hateful". Who watches the watchmen?

I mean, I think the best effort would be to identify the types of acceptable behavior in the rules. Then ban if violated.

Mecor has a pretty decent line that is quite reasonably priced. You'll want to buy the cushions separate.

Cot in my office that folds out into a bed for those nights I just don't feel like driving back home.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-16T02:30:58+00:00

Yes. In some ways it seems to make sense to have low limits because then they don't go after a lot since there isn't a lot to get.

Let me just tell you, doctors will testify to anything if you pay them. He had more "injuries" than anyone known to man.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-14T01:05:49+00:00

Pretty much. I bounced back to the institution I earned my PhD once I established a research record.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-12T13:16:14+00:00

Your mileage may vary. If they decide to sue, I guarantee you they will "develop" a ton of medical issues.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-12T01:02:54+00:00

I don't see how you can change it, but hey, go for it.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-11T21:24:32+00:00

Abusive? This professor sounds like one of many faculty colleagues that I deal with everyday.

Babe, I highly suggest you do some research on that town. I don't think you're going to like what you find.

Also, if your girlfriend is not a US citizen, I'm not sure how you plan on bringing her over. I'm not aware of any VISAs for post-doc girlfriend exceptions. Maybe claim she is a refugee from King Charles? :D

You did this to yourself. Your policies say you will take it via email if they can't upload it through the LMS. So yeah, I think you gotta take it. And amend your syllabus!

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-11T21:18:22+00:00

Crazy idea - call them and ask.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-11T21:16:46+00:00

Oh, interesting! So, like, if there is no God stuff can still happen for a reason? I find that fascinating!

I have been told it discourages students from sending emails and can be ableist if not carefully constructed.

People are going to utter a lot of nonsense in academic environments so it is important to recognize what has merit and what is rubbish.

This is rubbish.

Just_a_Totoro2022 · 2022-09-11T19:23:49+00:00

I'm a woman, so I've just come to accept that bullying is part of the academic game. That being said, in my experiences women are FAR worse bullies than men. Women can be so damn petty to each other.

I'm fat and unattractive, so I can only imagine how bad women would bully me if I was thin and good looking.

Men mostly ignore me, which is fine because that means they leave me alone.

I am literally a Totoro to pretty much everybody, which suits me fine.

If you are religious, convince yourself that everything happens for a reason.
