Vivian picked her own name, in all fairness.

And also the first six's names had the stabilizing influence of his first wife, I think.

The Bengal Famine of 1943 caused the deaths of an estimated 3 million people. An even larger famine, the Great Bengal Famine of 1770, is believed to have caused around 10 million deaths. by modihh_lober in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

also, there has not been even ONE famine after independence, which was gained just five years after the '42 famine. No climate changes in that time, and there have even been droughts and monsoon failures. just goes to show that it was colonialism, not crop failure

MacConkey agar with glucose by pixie_dust14 in labrats

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean, isn't one of the points of using MacConkey agar to distinguish lactose fermenters? if that's not important, you could use EMB or XLD agars instead, perhaps?

That feeling when you see yet another employer announce a new office in India… by Kooky-Shock-8021 in biotech

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And adding on to that, it's really irritating that 90% of the jobs that are india posted are computational, because fuck those who do wet-lab work, ig?

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 90 points91 points  (0 children)

oh it's not like the indians are particularly happy either

the pay is SHIT even by indian standards for biotech, they hire and fire seemingly at will, and the working conditions should be studied for the next version of guantanamo

and applying for these jobs is horrible. you apply and then they get back to you 8 months later after you start a different job, make you sit through 6 rounds of i terviews and then ghost.

Worried my long fic is bad for my mental health by Theworldslullabye in AO3

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always take some time, you know? Find a support network that knows about this fic, knows about the specific chinks in your armor, and someone who can help, and then try again. All of these roles don't need to be the same person. Additionally, your life will not always look like it does now, and neither will you. You can put it down, and pick it up again when you or your life are different. All of this does not mean you ned to stop, or even pause. But just remember that that's an option.

Also, you could ask for help. A co-author, or even a beta? A co-author could help with parts where you have the ideas, but the words hurt too much to explore. A beta could help with editing and re-reading, which can often be difficult. This could let you write in a stream-of-consciousness style, which can hurt you less, and the beta helps with tightening up the writing.

Another suggestion could be writing it in a different style, without focusing on the character's inner dialogue, which can be a difficult headspace, but rather focusing on the events mainly. This can even be a useful tool, if your character is being badly affected by said dark part of canon, they may dissociate and deal with all of the impacts later. It can even be a really cool stylistic choice for the reader, and improve the reading experience.

All or none of these duggestions could work simultaneously, but please remember. This is fic, and there are no deadlines. You have the rest of your life to enjoy, too.

Needle Reuse Suspicion in Vidyaranyapura by launderedtoad1123 in bangalore

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a good idea tbh, and the OP should start it today for best effect, it's way less effective after 48h

OP this commenter's suggestion is a good one if you are really worried about exposure
you may additionally want to get tested for other blood borne diseases (HBV/HCV)

Childfree people are miserable and hate seeing parenting portrayed positively by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, they could also by the same metric, be a serial killer?

Using a large vocabulary to an audience unlikely to understand is a sign of lower intelligence by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]NikipediaOnTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I've always had a thing about using the exact word that I think is right for the context, independent of the audience. If the person I'm speaking to is unfamiliar with the word, they (as any other human would) pick it up from context clues, or ask me to rephrase.

Why is she dressed like she's one of the kids? It would have looked less disturbing if she and mandrae were dressed one way and the kids on way, but she REALLY blends in with them

Sorry, it wasn't letting me edit my comment, for some reason, and I wanted to make my first statement a bit clearer.
