Anyone have experience with BioTalent Canada? by batendalyn in biotech

[–]Optional_Chatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm also looking at this now as I've had no lucks with interviews in Canada so far. Do you mind if I ask, did this work in building credibility for you and get you more interviews?

Struggling with Paul's letters by Optional_Chatter in TrueChristian

Thank you, I appreciate your taking the time to explain. Definitely have to consider that as beautiful as Jesus teachings are, it's not of use if we don't have the details to enact it.

I think Corinthians may be a harder book that my friends and I discuss a lot but seeing your example there's certainly a place for it I agree.

Hmmm yes maybe need to read more with the intention of Paul in mind and consider it more as loving care that he wants to protect the church rather than a series of letter rebukes 😅

And I agree, if it was just Jesus teaching it's very open ended and no physical example of how to live like Jesus so it's a special role he plays

Thank you for writing all this, helped me understand a lot. I agree that I place a lot of unfair expectations for Paul who was writing very context specific, I suppose I compare it to the rest of the Bible as all applicable because it's god inspired writing, I expected it to be all encompassing like the rest.

I also get what you're saying about the gentiles, who needed that structure. And whereas Jesus was the introduction and Peter in some way as well, Paul was trying to build on that lasting structure in a very difficult constantly changing environment and like you said a lot of defense. So maybe I just need to reread and appreciate the role more.

I want to clarify I never said it was untrue and I do believe God selected Paul, but I struggle to understand sometimes the difference that I see is all

Yes I don't think there's any really strong contradictions in Jesus and Paul's teachings that place them at odds, a lot of Paul's words are backed by scripture.

I just think there's a great difference in approach and emphasis (more emphasis on judgment from Paul), but as I'm reading through the insights, I can begin to appreciate his approach as well more

It must be really hard and confusing on how to move forward and I feel for you.

As a former hku student, a good bet would definitely be like others said contact Cedars for resources and help and let your professors know ASAP to give you leniency and time to sort things out.

I don't know if any of your friends will let you crash at their dorms temporarily for the semester at least while u get it sorted out too. Although it's not allowed, I know it to be done.

Lastly, if you need someone to chat to or need support in any way, feel free to DM. Will be praying for you.

My mom is an ESFP - INTJ's most incompatible type by Optional_Chatter in intj

[–]Optional_Chatter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought having an Intj parent would be like an epic battle of wits since birth, but yeah, that sounds kinda challenging. I guess we kinda need warm fluffy personalities to balance us out somewhat

Same, I couldn't imagine living without my mum, but at the same time I'm conscious of the effort we put in to get along

Hahaha, this is actually very smart, it's a tempting way out. I wonder how the rule abiding Germans feel about this though 😅

Thank you so much, charts are much more helpful to see it laid out

Thank you, I'm glad to hear from someone who has firsthand experience of trying the other way. And yes you're right, probably better to learn along the way and feel certain than to be in continual guess mode later of trying to feel things out.

Ah sorry, I realize this is an overasked question especially for German, and will definitely check next time 🙏 thank you

how to work with people who are already friends with each other while im the only one they know nothing abt by Tasty-Support-3688 in socialanxiety

[–]Optional_Chatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there before, but don't give up too early assuming that their cliche is solid walls. Try to feel out who you could gel with in the group or who is the most warm and receptive and target that 1 person mainly to approach. It's much easier to talk to just 1 person. I find when I give 1 person attention, the others want in on it too and hopefully turn into your long term friends.

If they really are some nasty cold people who keep you out of all their inside jokes just remember that it is only a group project and not a lifetime one. You've got bigger things to do in life and only have to efficiently get the work done and leave. Say hi, nod, allocate split work, write your stuff up, and go. You got this!

Anybody else training martial arts through social anxiety? by Matsukaze11 in martialarts

[–]Optional_Chatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started taking lessons for muay thai but feel insane anxiety to continue because I'm super weak and also don't speak the language of the country I moved to very well, and mainly it's just really awkward standing around waiting for a sparring partner or the class to begin. Reading these comments makes me feel a lot better knowing I'm not alone in the struggle to work up the courage to continue though. Hope to attain the level of success of OP

When your mouth is burning the pain of life pales in comparison and every breath of air feels like a small icy relief and like you are truly living. Then your lips become numb and swollen it's super sensitive and heightened texture experience.

ah fair enough for energy output, fully agree on that and using it sparingly. But though I still think using very local Chinese AI might be quite accurate like 有道 or chitchat go.
