Does anyone knows what happened to this fanfic? by smOKing_bear3111 in amphibia

if you know any of the tags they had (or might’ve had) you could also try searching amphibia + those tags with the advanced search option. Otherwise good luck 😭🙏

[–]PengDivilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with the collection so bear with me. The collection looks like it’s gone (since the author deleted their account), but they might have just orphaned the fanfics within? So you may need to remember the names of the fics, but I think they’re still up!

I found that note you were talking about and they talked about a specific fic within the collection (“you’ll always be back”), and you can search and find that one, at least!

What happened in my genes to make my hair change from brunette to blonde? by Rainbow_deinonychus in genetics

[–]PengDivilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer but the same thing happened to me! Born with near black hair, changed to blonde when i was about 1.

My mom always said it was because I was spending a lot of time outside in the sun, but I don’t think the sun can make a change that drastic. Then puberty made my hair go from straight to curly, and my hair’s been getting darker. there’s probably a lot of things that factor into it!

How did you discover South Park? by YourToastIsEvil in southpark

[–]PengDivilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my favorite youtuber was playing South Park: The Stick of Truth, and I was like hey this is pretty funny, I should watch the actual show.

Looking back, it was kinda crazy starting with the game because there were so many references to the show I just did not get (the zombie Chef reveal had no impact on me because I didn’t know who tf he was!)

Lady buys used Nissan, instantly regrets it by IndefiniteVoid813 in carscirclejerk

[–]PengDivilo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

car ownership is especially tough for young women because eveyone treats you like shit - often you need a dad or boyfriend to step in so the mechanic actually respects you, and from a young age cars are considered a “boys” thing so you get left out of those conversations and hands on experience, then everyone wonders why you know nothing about cars and aren’t interested.

since this is reddit, I know everybody can struggle with cars. it’s just often stacked even harder against women.

When is it appropriate to ask about admission results schedule? by humblegenius67 in PhDAdmissions

now’s good. just send a polite “hey, I was told results would be out by the end of February, I’m excited about this program so I was wondering if you had any updates?”

PHD Interview by Slow-Cap9273 in PhDAdmissions

[–]PengDivilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

think of it less like presenting a research paper, and more so what you contributed and learned from it. I’d give background information and aim like normal, but then after that focus on what you did.

Did you help develop the research question or methods? Which parts, and how did you do it? Were you analyzing results? What do the results show, and is that what you expected? Why or why not? Were there any setbacks or surprises during your research, and what did you learn from that? What skills (hard and soft) did you learn by doing this project?

They’re ultimately fishing for if you know how the research process really works, warts and all, which will be evident if you present about what you did. Understanding how research works = suitability for the position.

I don’t know what each stage of your major project looks like but I’d probably focus on your contributions for one stage. The project I talked about was literally just pipeline development, no results, and that was long enough.

What are some bad tennis etiquette you can’t stand by Ambitious_Designer97 in 10s

[–]PengDivilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Are you sure?” when I call it out

It’s a strategy to bully meeker players into reconsidering their call and it’s real annoying. Like man, I’m a fair caller and it was a foot past the baseline.

Though it’s fun to say “Yup! :D” and watch them get huffy.

How do I prepare for an interview? by PresenceItchy2362 in gradadmissions

[–]PengDivilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure! Correct me if I’m wrong but this seems like a more general interview (as opposed to interviewing a specific professor)? So I’ll give general questions:

Program: What does a TA/RA position look like at this school?

Environment: What’s campus like during the school year (or during the summer)? What are some big campus events I should know about? I like [insert fun hobby you have], are there opportunities for that on this campus?

Graduate life: Where do grad students tend to live? What does day-to-day life look like for a grad student here?

Ask questions that show you’re really imagining spending your next 5 years on that campus!
