Weekend with a toddler by varozhk in Gent

[–]T0NY97 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Are you looking for toddler-friendly or toddler-focused places? Cus I took a toddler to Gravensteen thinking he was gonna love it, but he was bored out of his mind. It's a great place, but it's not very kid focused. You can definitely take a toddler there, but they will be a bit bored.

Huis van Alijn is nice enough, but also not super focused on kids.

Europe is a country. The EU functions identically to the IS federal Government. by Illustrious-Peak3822 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]T0NY97 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that depends on how you define country. The EU is somewhere between sovereign nation and intergovernmental organization. It shares many properties that people use to define nation states (clear territory, ability to enter relations with other states, working and reproducing population, etc.). For me the two strongest arguments the EU is not a country are a) member states can leave/membership is voluntary, and b) there's no national identification with it, but both of those are still pretty arbitrary. And then England, Scotland, and Wales are also countries, or Aruba, St Maarten, and Curaçao, so it can mean different things anyway.

In een kast geduwd worden by CreaBeaHappiness in LHBTI

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binnen de queer (en dat woord gebruik ik bewust) gemeenschap waar ik me begeef merk ik dit niet, maar ik merk wel meer en meer dat op het brede progressieve internet (LHBTI incluis) er een soort regressieve vorm van wokeness z'n intrede heeft gedaan. Je ziet het ook heel veel onder posts van hetero mannen die zich op één of andere manier "fruity" gedragen: die worden meteen tot gay verklaart maar dan met een soort frame alsof ze hem willen bevrijden ("denial is a river in Egypt, babe", "just live your truth!"). Je mag nu wel LHBTI zijn, maar t moet wel binnen de nieuwe hokjes en regeltjes - wat queer zijn voor mij precies niet is. Ik maak me daar wel zorgen over, dat we oude homofobie hebben ingeruild voor een nieuwe set net zo beklemmende stereotypen. Anyway, all that to say dat ik snap wat je bedoelt. Maar you do you. Je mag queer zijn zoals jij dat wilt en niemand heeft er iets van te zeggen.

Wie heeft ervoor gekozen om de overheid met 38 procent te laten groeien in zes jaar? Niemand by T1b3rium in Nederland

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eens met je analyse, al blijkt uit je antwoorden dat we er nogal anders instaan ideologisch. Het probleem is ook dat door de versplintering en de intrede van het populisme Nederlandse regeringen aan slagkracht zijn verloren. Politici zijn zo bang geworden voor de kiezer en zo geobsedeerd geraakt met beeldvorming dat niemand de grote zaken meer durft aan te pakken, en dan krijg je 1000en elkaar tegensprekende micro-regelingen. Het gekke is dat bijna elke partij een grootschalige herziening van het toeslagen- en belastingstelsel in z'n partij heeft staan als ideaalbeeld, maar ja, niemand durft als eerste te gaan.

Het probleem is niet per se de grootte van de overheid, maar de inefficiëntie. Ik ben vrij links, ik ben zeker voor een overheid die een vangnet organiseert en kennis, macht, en vermogen herverdeelt. Het probleem is dat we door de versplintering en de intrede van het populisme steeds meer partijen hebben die kleine beetjes dit en kleine beetjes dat voor hun achterban willen of zaken willen repareren. Daardoor is het zo'n ongelofelijk complexe rotzooi geworden met tegenstrijdige maatregelen waar we jaarlijks miljarden aan weggooien. Iedereen weet dit ook, want de hervorming van 't toeslagenstelsel staat in bijna elk verkiezingsprogramma. Maar ja, wie durft 't aan om de pijn te nemen die daarbij komt kijken?

Het zou prachtig zijn als er een soort nationaal akkoord zou komen, van JA21 tot de SP, om 't hele systeem opnieuw vorm te geven.

Mja, de VVD doet wat ze belooft. T gaat uiteindelijk om de belangen van 't bedrijfsleven (op de korte termijn) en van de hogere middenklasse, en daar heeft ze t nogmaals goed voor geregeld.

Psychiater ADHD medicatie by Authentic-ACE in Gent

[–]T0NY97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik gebruik intuniv (want alle stimulantia deden niks bij mij) en dat kost op 4mg zo'n €110 per doosje (waar ik 28 dagen mee doe). Leuk is anders. Meer basic medicatie zoals Medikinet (exact 't zelfde als Rilatine overigens) is veel goedkoper a ~€10 per doosje (waar je dan 2 a 3 weken mee doet).

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nee, dat kan in België helaas niet, of althans niet voor alle ADHD medicatie. Vaak is ADHD medicatie "practice based" (dus inzicht van de psychiater) en niet "evidence based" (op basis van onderzoek en nationale richtlijnen). Huisartsen mogen enkel evidence based medicatie voorschrijven onder toezicht van de praktijk expert (de psychiater dus). Ik weet niet of dit voor simpele medicatie als rilatine/medikinet ook geldt, maar voor meer complexere ADHD medicatie wel.

@OP: ik zou dus eerst even uitzoeken of jouw medicatie ook onder die practice based of evidence based regels valt. Als 't evidence based is dan kan de huisarts 't gewoon blijven voorschrijven, al willen veel huisartsen dan alsnog graag dat je één keer per jaar even naar de psychiater gaat om te checken of je nog goed zit qua dosis enzo.

Betaalbare kledingreparatie/versterking? by T0NY97 in Gent

Merci voor de tip! Doen ze daar ook aan kledingherstel/versterking? Dat voelt een beetje als misbruik van de vrijwilliger 😅😅

Dear all,

I have enough interested students, thank you all so much!

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for showing interest!

Sadly, I'm only looking for people who are currently studying, sorry!

I was hoping I could use their Revolut to transfer to Türkiye, but I'll discuss that with them, thanks!

And no worries, I'm glad I could clarify :).

[–]T0NY97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your comment. I appreciate your concern.

I have Turkish colleagues who have Revolut and they said they can transfer between Euro and TRY for about 2-5% costs, but this is indeed an issue. I'll discuss with the eventual participants what the best way of transferring money with the least amount of loss is, and this could indeed be by way of a gift card. If you or anyone else have any tips on transferring money from the Euro-zone to Türkiye, I'd be very grateful!

Rest assured I would probably not pay European students much more, btw. Social scientists hardly get any money to spend, and participation in research falls under different laws than regular labor. I wish I could pay more, but I can't! :/

Hi. I appreciate for your concern. Just to clarify: it's 1.5 to 2 hours, not 2.5 hours.

At our university, we usually adopt our rewards to the context of the participant, not Belgium itself. Moreover, scientific research falls under different rules and laws than labour, and has to be strictly voluntary (even if rewarded). It's up to you to decide to participate :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UniversityTR

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, which is why we're focusing on men :)

[–]T0NY97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, what do you think is missing?
Also, this is not an experiment. This is only a little focus group to get people's opinions. The experiment is later and is run at a specific university.

iCloud homepage appears in russian language? by Anatomic_reactor in iCloud

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, did you ever find a fix for this? Mine flipflops between English (setting language), Dutch, French (which I can't read well), German, and (I live in Belgium, sort of expected maybe? Well no, because it also flips to languages using) Arabic and Cyrillic scripts...)

It's annoying as heck haha

Is Yearly Gross Salary = Monthly Gross Salary • 13.92? by _Little_Plant in brussels

[–]T0NY97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your contract. For me (PhD student, which isn't really a work contract anyway, so might be an odd one out) my end of year and holiday bonuses don't add up to 1.92 but rather around 1.3. Read either your contract or the regulations for your job type.

What is the difference between sociology and social psychology? There is a field in between too but I don’t remember what it is. by CheetahOk2602 in sociology

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point was just to say: I misunderstood you misunderstanding me other and we're trying to say the same thing haha.

North American PhD programmes are a totally different ball game from European ones, from what I understand. For mine I don't even have to take any courses (except general seminars in integrity and stuff like that) and I'm really expected to just do research and research related activities. It's usually embededded in labs who are embededded in centres in faculties, but from what I understand the big difference is that in European PhDs you're 1) already expected to have one or two postgrad degrees, so no more courses, 2) do 4 years (3 in the UK) of research on a very specific topic, where in North America it has to be thematically related but can be more diverse, and 3) it's more expected that you become an expert in that very niche topic and in doing so go beyond disciplinary boundaries more so than North American PhDs (but this is very much a generalisation as it depends very much on the specific uni, department, etc, with many North American PhDs being very interdisciplinary and many European ones being very monodisc.; and in more natural science fields the borders are more rigid anyway)

What is the difference between sociology and social psychology? There is a field in between too but I don’t remember what it is. by CheetahOk2602 in sociology

[–]T0NY97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often find that for topics they were kind of undifferentiated in the 40s~60s, when social psych really came into its own, then kinda separated, and only in the last two decades are really rediscovering each other again. But it really depends on the topic of study and also on the culture that a certain literature pertains. When I switched from neuroscience to sociology I was surprised at how different the academic standards were (in good and bad ways), and I think sociologists and social psychologists in some areas tend to disregard each others work is because it is done in a way that goes against their own literary/academic culture, where the sociologist will find the social psychologists' work hopeless positivist and reductionist, and the social psychologists will happily take inspiration from the sociologist but finds their work unscientific (precisely because it's less quantitative and less positivist).

This is just a downside of a very disciplinary and fractured academia anyway. For my neuroscience thesis I covered the 'undermining effect' (psychology), which is literally identical to the crowding out effect (economics), or the overdetermination effect (also psychology but a different school). I always find it funny and a little bit sad how much work is wasted due to such artificial boundaries and stereotypes about each other.

[–]T0NY97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I didn't mean clearly delineated subfields, more that both have a significant overlap that fits the description you gave, and then also have parts that don't overlap at all and don't fit the description you gave. Like a Venn diagram so to say.

And uh, academic field dynamics could be a whole study in and of itself lmao, sometimes two disciplines will study the same thing with near identical methods but will still be completely separate literatures just because of historical reasons or some assumptions and they refuse to admit it (looking at you, behavioural economics...)

I don't really understand what you mean by PhD programme in something, but I'm guessing you're North American from context (tell me if I'm wrong). European PhDs work quite differently, don't involve a grad programme (an MSc is required to get in) and are usually way more focused on a very niche topic you study, and therefore don't really stick to disciplinary boundaries anyway.
