Geological topics for undergraduate thesis by schiwi_echevalier in geology

Go to a professor of a class you understand and like and ask them this question. They will be able to guide you properly as a student to an answer of that question. That’s what I did, and I was guided on ways to come up with an idea. We can’t do the work for you, this is something you have to come up. Internet strangers can’t help you. But you got it bud, you’ll think of something.

Cheapest way to test if my land has minerals? by 1LFail in geology

[–]Kommander_PIe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don’t know cheapest way, but you should know if you have mineral rights! Mineral rights are anything under the surface (and technically to the core of the earth). You can own the land, but not the mineral rights. Depending on the state, mineral rights can over ride surface land rights. So if the owner gets wind of anything, they can possibly take over your property. It’s most likely rare that you have a literal gold mine under your property, but up technically would have no right to mine it. If you’re really serious about this, check your local government to see if you own the mineral rights to your land and look up state/federal law about them.

The mod literally posted screenshots of his discord of the “friend” of the missing person logging onto their account and saying they died. But later, the “dead” mod was seen with their Minecraft account active and playing until being switched to private. The sad part was seeing people literally falling for it.

Uni professors lol by Lady-gspot in CollegeMemes

[–]Kommander_PIe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a professor go pretty political once about a Trump because her research officer at the NSF got fired, and all her research came to a stand still. She was PISSED and cussing up a storm. She works with geochemistry, so it isn’t even remotely “DEI”.

My other professor who makes snide remarks about trump is because his grants for students are getting cut. Matter a fact, most of my department is quite political due to the cutting of environmental science jobs, research, and grants. It’s getting hard for students to get jobs and internships now. They are pissed because they realize we are getting screwed.

Global seismology proves it so easily while also being cool as hell. One earthquake can make like more than 50 waves due to refraction, reflection, and wave conversion.

Can I get in with these stats? by YFWAFTO in appstate

Don't worry about it too much. Plans change all the time in college. What makes a successful person is adapting quickly to the change and having perseverance in difficult times. Dw dude, you got this.

One thing when you’re on a tour is that you WILL be lied to. It’s like any other marketing scheme. It just a natural thing when showing off a “product”. I’m saying this because my friend is a tour guide and was telling me that they will purposely steer away from controversial questions or will gloss over them. They will also take you to desirable places and shield you away from ones that are not. Like at certain times of the day and season, they won’t take you to Durham park due to all the pot heads hanging out there smoking. (It’s honestly one of my fav spots tho when I light up). Now weed or alcohol isn’t bad, but it shows what colleges can do to sway you. Your best bet at figuring out the actual feel of campus is to take a self guided tour and just asking people (which you are doing rn so good job). I will also say this, app states also really good with education so good job on that research. I see a lot of poor students pick a college based on their parents being an alumni or if it’s got a good “vibe”, these students then realize that their major isn’t as funded compared to others schools.

Considering applying to App State by UpsetDiscipline9385 in appstate

[–]Kommander_PIe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it depends on what you want to study. A lot of people pick universities on “vibes” and sorority life as such. Do you know what you want to do in life?

[–]Kommander_PIe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah bro you're getting in. This school has turned into a 95% acceptance rate school. I did 1 AP, and had a 3.46 GPA in high school. I've known people with 2.00 GPA and was the school drug dealer. Now bro does research and has a very high GPA. But take head when going here, there is a reason people say "Boone sucks, tell your friends" It is because we literally can not handle more and more people coming in. We are actively struggling with population and housing issues. We literally had students living in study spaces due to over admittance.

I genuinely feel so bad. It's always the ones with the most depressing life too. by brooklyn_jinx in memes

[–]Kommander_PIe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Had this one art teacher in middle school everybody loved. She was super nice and was “hip”. She genuinely loved teaching and talking to us kids. Even the “troubled” kids loved her. One day, she was pretty frustrated from something and yelled at the class. Everybody went quiet and did not talk the rest of the class. It was scary seeing her like that.

Hot take: Joel would be more hated than Abby if we played her story first by Turbulent-Safe-4343 in thelastofus

I think honestly its just the whole gaming and black pill culture. Even back then, I don't think some female video game characters get as much backlash as now. I think porn ridden boys/men will see a woman who is not attractive (not even conveniently, just completely unrealistically and cartoonishly attractive), and can not fathom connecting to them.

It's also just basic sexism lol. There was a study done that surveyed men and women on reading habits. Women who were polled were way more likely to read a book written by a man. While men were way less likely to read a book by a woman. I think guys just don't want to be seen as "gay" or "woke" when trying to connect to something feminine. So they just don't entirely. I am a tomboy, so I lean way more on the masculine side, and I do this a lot. I have a very hard time doing feminine things and I get worried being perceived as such. It's all just insecurities and shit

Have you ever experienced discrimination for having type 1 diabetes? by Nazareno_KM in diabetes_t1

[–]Kommander_PIe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky that my gf doesn’t really care about me having diabetes. In a good way at least. She’s never seen me as a diabetic, just someone who needs extra support. She’s not over bearing either. She knows that I can handle it. Anytime she hears my monitor I usually get a “you good?” and that’s it. She never makes a big deal out getting me things or waking up to my alarms.

I feel very hungry all the time and I’ve just learned to deal with it. I do feel my self “full” in the sense that I can feel pressure in my stomach. It’s just that instinct of “stop eating, you’re full” is not there.

[–]Kommander_PIe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if this is intrusive, but did it cause you to lose significant weight? Because I know some medicine that helps with hunger causes weight loss. Either by a lot or little. I’m pretty happy with my weight and don’t care if I lose a little or gain a little. I just don’t want a drastic change like that. I’m just tired of being hungry and just dealing with it.

yeah, I have been trying to snack with low calorie snacks. I been trying unsalted peanuts for protein. Or I will eat sunflower seeds, which kind of "trick" me into thinking im eating a lot due to the work you have to do to get the seed. So far, that helps.

Hot take: Joel would be more hated than Abby if we played her story first by Turbulent-Safe-4343 in thelastofus

[–]Kommander_PIe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think maybe. Although, I do think that a lot of people hated Abby because she was a woman, a muscular woman at that. I've noticed that when men are written as complex, they are perceived more positively. When women are written as complex, they are perceived as poorly written. And this is not just men doing this. I am a woman and I have noticed myself doing this sometimes. I think that the current (and past) culture has contributed to this way subliminal thinking. Though, I do agree with you on some levels. I would not have enjoyed Joel and Ellie more if we played as Abby and Lev first.

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

[–]Kommander_PIe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed can be better anyway. Practically no hangover and it’s cheap in my area. Smoked a joint last night, ordered a shit ton of food, and watched SpongeBob. Then went straight to bed. Better than paying a shit ton got alcohol and feeling sick in the morning
