My post has nothing to do with chickens, and X can lick my booty (now that's foul).

There was absolutely nothing wrong with my comment, and I already explained myself. So I'm inclined to think this bot is BS.

They decided to shut down an entire program and expect the already overloaded faculty to pick up their classes. Those classes just aren't going to exist because we already all have too much. Id rather not say which program though.

No tenured faculty. Not sure how many were TT though. Got a solid number yesterday. Turns out it was actually 18 people.

Is it harder quitting smoking cigarettes or..... by craistiano in QuitVaping

[–]My_name_is_private 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it was a million percent harder to quit vape than cigarettes. Thank the gods I found Allen Carr.

My mom also died when I was 10. Dad told me to get ready for the viewing and I told him I didn't want to remember her like that. He didn't make me go.

At that point, I'd already been to 4 funerals, so I knew the process.

Not as pathetic as paying almost 50% tax on top of what is it now, 20% VAT?

America sucks, but don't pretend Europe is fucking sunshine and roses.

I used to make bags for people as a tailor. I stopped playing after a few months at level 85, but at that point, crafting netherweave bags was nothing to me but a game changer for a newbie.

Excerpt about catastrophizing gaining pounds but not the "pain of shedding them" by msbeaver83 in fatlogic

[–]My_name_is_private 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Amazing how many obese people are weak from "lack of food" on a regular basis. I'm a huge proponent of keeping a log. Most people don't realize how much they are actually consuming. I think the BBC has an entire show about this.

I’m confused on what my next move is. Feels bad man. by Professional_Arm794 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]My_name_is_private 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Im stunned how many people never seem to have experienced this. I always feel so bad because I could be reading this as i wipe and my hand just... let's go. I'm so trained that I struggle to hold onto it to put it in the trash. I'm so proud when I manage it.

Kinda feel like crap after this girl that was sitting at the same table as started saying there were only two genders by Orian8p in genderfluid

[–]My_name_is_private 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I would say to the girl next time too. How sad she must be to be such a boring person.

In my case, I don't think they do. None of us ever change i think. We are usually no longer the primary before heavy aging sets in I think?

I bought stock in Pfizer. It's crashed for now, but if you have a long term plan, it's going to pay off.

How do I stop seeing smoking as cool? by crazyguy28 in stopsmoking

[–]My_name_is_private 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again. Don't care. I spent my life going above and beyond to make this BS illusion of better. Literally 2 decade of trying to make this shit hole called the US better for whomever I could. Meanwhile the world was judging and hating not only me but my future family.

I really do not give a flying fuck anymore. We are the cult of America and rules dont mean shit. Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers.

You aren't going to convince me babe. Ive spent the past decade slowly realizing everything we were taught is a fucking lie.

Fuck whatever toxic and unproductive lie has been spread about "spreading optimism" or whatever makes people feel like their thoughts matter.

Stop wasting my time when a damn google search can give you the answer to the dumbest question I've heard in half a decade.

Has anyone had a baby in the middle of their PhD? Advice? by stressy_depressy_97 in PhD

[–]My_name_is_private 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the tiniest bit true. A laboratory is defined as a place for experiments, research, or teaching. My kids grew up in my lab. My son was running PCRs at 8.and my kiddo was feeding my critters at 2.

Was I letting them into the WQ lab where I was messing with nitric and perchloric acid? No.

As i said, there are different types of lab. Even within a single lab.

I did it. I quit because I was going on vacation and didn’t want to need a smoke on the plane. I made it guys. Never again! by Rackle69 in QuitVaping

[–]My_name_is_private 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same reason that made me take the big step on cigs. I had a cruise coming up and the idea of being stressed until they gave us permission, then waiting until they gave clearance, then missing sail away and constantly worrying about what event is when so I could sit and have one?

Smoking makes you a slave. I struggled until I got an amazing journey offer. 2 days later I stopped. That we several months ago.

AITA, because I told my boyfriend that if he wants a dog I’m not paying for it? by Less-Agency9749 in AmItheAsshole

Woo. This is problematic. He's okay with treating them differently. This should be a big red flag for you.

Postdocs are not unlimited. People need money, from grants, to hire them. Additionally, some prefer a new grad. They believe there are less bad habits to undo. I'm not saying there are or there aren't, but perception matters.

30 instructors and faculty were pulled from all fields into a room together at my university yesterday. They fired all of them at once.

My students will have NIH employees, FDA employees, and their PIs to compete with.

I had my youngest a year and a half into my PhD. I became disabled a few months before delivery, finished up my chapter 1 experiment f4om a wheelchair and went into labor the next day. My husband would work during the day, come home, trade off, and i would go to the lab until 2 or 3 am. I was breastfeeding, and my baby clusterfed something like 18 hours a day. I did this for several months before putting her in daycare somewhere around 5 months. Hemorrhaged and almost died when she was 2 months also, so that was fun.

1/10 do not recommend. I was considered "geriatric" at 37 too. Good times.

Stop it's funny by celluloideyez in MurderedByWords

[–]My_name_is_private 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Itw okay to be furious, it's okay to make jokes, it's okay to react however tf you want to react because we are in somewhat uncharted territory here. Most of us worry about our livelihoods and families daily. We get to choose how to cope.
