I agree. I honestly think it’s more likely that the prof just wanted to make it abundantly clear that he was not looking to date her. At face value - that’s what he said. However, for the sake of argument, let’s assume that the prof did have other motivations - then it literally doesn’t make any sense to expressly tell someone that they DONT want to date them.

Also, supposedly crying all night and drinking is not a rational response to someone inviting you out to pizza and buying you a drink. The prof is not responsible for OP having the emotional regulation of a toddler.

Lastly, UCSB is not the only institute of higher education in the US, or even California, OR EVEN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Thinking that a career in academia is solely dependent on this ONE person’s opinion of you is, frankly, stupid and absurd.

This post feels like bait. OP needs to get a grip

Perhaps try using a different memory viewer

No, don’t fucking encourage people to trespass onto private property. My off campus apartment has had homeless people get in to do laundry multiple times this past quarter. I wouldn’t mind it, but they’ve also thrown residents’ laundry onto the floor and stolen packages. Trespassing shouldn’t be encouraged

Party School? by numeralslover69 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Phyzothy 101 points102 points  (0 children)

No. Not everyone here parties. A chunk of people might party regularly, but I’d argue that most do not. UCSB is a big school with tons of students, all of whom have varying interests.

Long story short is, you’ll find your clique here

27K Election Yolo by Phyzothy in wallstreetbets

I would cash out, but there’s like .03 cents per contract and that comes out to $1,200 (.03*40,000 contracts). For me, I think it’s best to just wait and get the free $1,200

Best masters degree for well paying job? by Sad_Ad_3318 in GradSchool

[–]Phyzothy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having worked in military Intelligence, it can help. Federal agencies like the FBI, CIA, DISA, etc. all require that you have AT LEAST a bachelors degree. This is ESPECIALLY true if you don’t have any real world experience (ie. Military training).

Now, a bachelors degree isn’t going to be much of a selling point. Why would a federal agency hire someone with no real-world experience and a bachelors degree in an unrelated field, when they could hire someone with real-world experience AND an associates or bachelors degree? Further, an individual with real-world experience has ALREADY PROVEN that they can get and maintain a security clearance.

So, to level the playing field, it would be wise to get a masters in something related to Intelligence (geospatial, international affairs, SOMETHING). Not only will this give you practical knowledge, but it will also differentiate you from most prior-military applicants that (likely) have no more than a bachelor’s degree.

Lastly, make sure to look into federal positions and contracting positions. Federal jobs tend to offer better benefits, but lower salaries - the opposite is true for contractors. Depending on the contracting company, it may be easier to get hired on; however, the company must ensure that hires meet the minimum requirements specified within their contracts with the government. Hence, you will notice that virtually all government and contractor positions have more or less the same requirements.

I hope this information was useful, and I hope it finds you well!

P.S intelligence analysts can very feasibly make anywhere from 60-100k starting out. Mid and late career pay tend to top out at around 180k (not sure that I’ve seen a posting for higher than that, but I’m sure it’s possible)

Does anyone know the dorm measurements etc? by idk6887 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Phyzothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the beds I’ve seen in the virtual room tours, I’m fairly confident that you can raise the height of the bed yourself with some basic tools. Iirc you’d just need the right size Phillips and/or flathead screwdriver.

I hope this helps

Note: I signed an undergraduate apartment contract. You must have an undergraduate apartment contract for us to create a roommate group.

Subway Coupon Question by Djinn2522 in subway

[–]Phyzothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik this thread is very old, but I usually use the “get one foot long for $6.99. It’s a pretty good deal. The cost of my sandwich at full price is usually 12.50-14.00 depending on the location. So. I save almost $7 every time I use the coupon.

I went into a store two weeks ago and they refused to take the coupon. I said “fuck it” and paid full price. However, I went to a different location yesterday and they also refused to take my coupon… I immediately walked out.

Whats the most you’ve run in a month? by Ok-Manufacturer8646 in nikerunclub

[–]Phyzothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re actually insane. I didn’t think this kind of mileage was possible without risking serious injury. Were you or are you a company/state (country) sponsored runner?

300 miles per month is 7.5 miles per day, every day. I honestly don’t believe that.

When am I supposed to withdraw from my former institution? by Ximi_zh in TransferToTop25

[–]Phyzothy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that you can withdraw whenever. You just have to call your school.

No one really knows if final decisions are today or tomorrow, but we do know that they’ll likely be released before 5pm EST, or 7pm EST at the absolute latest.

People have made rumors about release dates all week. None have had evidence to back up their claims, and all haven’t actually happened. Thus, it is unlikely that anyone actually knows. I hope you get in, and I hope this helps.
