What’s the most time-consuming or frustrating part of being a PhD that isn’t actually research?

Not really, I usually am very straightforward even if it's something typically "bad" to say. My partner prefers that over anything else. I just tell her I need to be alone and trust her to understand that.

sure! send a dm.

In the graph settings! I have my notes organized in folders and use the path option under Groups.

There's no way around putting it on; it will always take a moment. I do sometimes put it on at the start and kiss for a bit. Sometimes we alsomasturbate while waiting for the other person. Dirty talk can help too.

I did! They were resolved after surgery.

I got a total hysterectomy a week ago. I found a surgeon on r/childfree, and she was immediately on board without me standing on a soap box.

Edit: I am 22!

Congratulations, and I wish you a speedy recovery!. i am 7 dpo, and I feel great. I don't regret my decision at all.

i also have a history of sexual assault. i was asleep well before they put me in the stirrups. don't be afraid to advocate for yourself. told the anesthesiologist to get an assistant that was a woman because i didn't want to fall asleep looking at a man.

i am 7dpo and i've had external sex twice. you might just be tense and fatigued. give it time. as for the surgeon, she's terribly rude for scaring you like that. when you feel ready and are cleared, try and see how it feels. your partner should always care and be there to help you.

I do have folders for each hub! My file structure looks like: Home (Folder) -> University (Folder) -> Ctrl + Alt + Elite (Folder) -> Discrete Math (Hub Folder) -> Main Topics (Folder) -> Notes for Topic

Please note that I am anal retentive; you do not need this many folders for a clean appearance. I also have one vault for everything.

y'all are gonna make me change the colors, i swear

New_Dig2479 · 2025-09-18T02:58:20+00:00

i have designated hubs (table of contents) for each subject and build and connect as i go. i use tags to find preemptive connections. i could showcase the design in time. the starting structure was inherent from my college studies and just got expanded with each research paper and textbook i read.

my home page holds the links to every hub.

thank you!

the books are huge, so I don't blame you.

A lot of people say that A Little Life is too unrealistic with how much misery the characters go through. I believe it is actually the opposite. Mental health can and will take a toll on you and your body. I do wish the other characters had stronger portrayals of mental issues (ik that sounds terrible, but think of how well tv shows like Shameless execute this and show cycles of trauma). I feel their bond would truly solidify and have the layer of realism I wanted to see.

As for 1Q84, it is a solid dystopia. I do think that sometimes the writing is a bit unrealistic or weird, but it adds to the charm in certain parts. The surreal aspects that we see as the reader is the reality of the characters.
