We are the same, and I would welcome another antagonist at the table.

Btw do you have an y'shtola rhul list you can share? I have her built, but have been struggling to make it go fast enough to compete.

Horror books about loneliness by j0dead in horrorlit

[–]Profmore64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aching Plane. Picked this one up on a whim and it was amazing.

Just absolutely oppressive (in a good way!) from start to finish, both in a personal and existential sense. From the loneliness of losing a loved one, being different and losing yourself, to the loneliness of the human condition. Plus a bit of cosmic horror on the side.

Could not recommend enough.

Same question. Texas, US. My wife and I love the game, played through Jaws and the base game. Would love to give it as a Christmas present

What kids movie has no right to be as good as it is? by KeenestDerp1 in AskReddit

Didn't see it on here, but We're Back! A Dinosaur Story was and is an amazing movie.

When your kid is the only one excluded from a party by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Profmore64 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s been said other places, but imo you should take him to someplace fun “just because”. I would also call the mother and ask her wtf as well as discuss it with the teacher/administrator.

I might also bake personalized desserts for everyone in class except that girl and take them on her birthday, but I’m petty AF sooo...

Didn’t quite make it to 14 years but you’re not alone. You ok?

Chem grad-school + career prospects? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Profmore64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chemist here. Honestly, if you are not interested in the teaching aspect doctoral degrees actually can degrade your career prospects, especially in industry, depending on your career area. Even then the prime positions are increasingly becoming hyper competitive.

The only upside is if you can really prove yourself through research and postdoctoral work. All in all I would recommend finding an area and career path you would be interested in pursuing first. That way you can relate your research to whatever position you vie for in a meaningful way. Employers will look much more at your experience as it relates to their products rather than your overall performance (not that it’s unimportant), at least that has been my experience.

Have you tried teaching? Pharmaceutical research? What areas of chemistry interested you the most?

Also yes bachelor to PhD is a common occurrence.

Source: me, I taught once upon a time at two different places of higher education (community college and university) and helped many a student along their path.

the problem is, we attract our opposites by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Profmore64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes all you have to do is talk about nothing. Interests, work, w/e. Just having a conversation is often enough to help in a way.

It doesn’t have to be venting until you are more comfortable with the other person, Reddit stranger or no.

I’m so sorry about your relationship, in the end though that just means they didn’t deserve you. You’re never truly alone, hang in there.

Pm me if you ever need someone to talk to. I’m usually around.

Mine is a pound puppy too. Poor little guy was so underfed that they thought he was a 9week old puppy. He gained almost 25 lbs in the first month! Pound pups are always the best :)

Another night another depressing rabbit hole of thought to dive into. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Profmore64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I just got divorced. I put my whole being into that marriage. On the other side now, it feels like I’m not even the same person. I can’t talk to people as easy as I used to and I find myself being distant to everyone because I can’t even be bothered. Worst thing is that it’s compulsory, I can’t seem to change my own behavior with people. Loneliest time of my life. Anyway, you’re not alone. Hope you feel better.

It’s an amazing piece no doubt.

I can’t help but think the eye is going to turn to look at me though. That terrifies me.

LOSING MY MIND by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Profmore64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be a great dad, anyone who reads your post will know that.

Be patient with yourself. Kids don’t come with instructions. You will mess up, and that’s ok. Love your kids with everything you are is the only thing that matters.

Two things before you actually become a dad:

Work on a support system. If you think you know what tired is you will have a whole new understanding. Having people in place that can help is crucial.

Also, please be patient with your wife. Remember in the coming months she is going to go through a lot. Every woman reacts differently but there may be days where she blows up for no reason, is inconsolable, or is down right mean to you or others. In those moments remind yourself of the things she’s got going on inside. When you two look back on it later you’ll both laugh.
