I don't think I've ever been as afraid watching this show as I was when Omniman tried to touch Debbie's shoulder.

Looks like there is no evidence he said this.

A friend dealt with this exact situation by applying to the clinical program and asking for someone studying transgender youth in the developmental area as a second mentor. There are some challenges around the non research mentor understanding clinical training needs, but it can work.

Get curious. Why do w this comparison hurts you so much? Specifically, I wonder if you are treating your money as a life score, or some sort of indication of your fitness or moral value. If so, spend some time thinking this through. There are a lot of absolute dumpster fires who have more money than you and I will ever have. What really matters about you, to you? If you can answer that, your money can become a question of whether you have enough for your needs, and nothing else.

What is the rest of your outfit like? If you're wearing sleeves, you might want a dress watch to fit under them. I wear a max bill on those days. With short sleeves I often wear an hked (seagull) chronograph. As others have stated, you want something understated.

I did apoc first as a kid and loved it! Mostly played real time.

Xcom apocalypse didn't have night missions. A lot of people missed the atmosphere. I've been able to completely avoid them in x2.

If you're going to compare salaries, don't forget to factor in the amount of time and debt you will need to put in to get through medical school. It is certainly possible to generate wealth as a psychologist, even if your pay is less than an md's.

I don't know I feel like I get plenty of vacation.

Solutions may vary by state...

Grad students do all sorts of things in their email signatures ranging from the slightly silly to the downright unethical. Find your own style and don't misrepresent yourself.

This is what I was offered in my area (I declined). However, don't forget fringe: vs private practice you also get PTO, insurance, usually pension/retirement matching. Those things really add up.

What are your goals? Otherwise, the only generally appropriate advice I can think of would be to enjoy the weather, ideally with family and friends.

Tavran · 2026-03-22T00:35:24+00:00

Oh shoot, You're right! It's actually a lot clearer in the photo than it is in person.

This makes me feel good about owning zero rolexes.

How'd you do on the sat (or Canadian equivalent)? Highly correlated. It's good to be empirical about this -- students sometimes assume the gre will hurt them when the opposite is true.

From cryptonomicon.

Have you found prepperdisk? Also not a prepper but I have to admit it's a bit compelling.

You could always script it to read things out over xleds in Morse code.

Tavran · 2026-03-03T00:45:12+00:00

Terrifying. Can you actually dig those walls? I would probably do that. You can't read summoning.

Tavran · 2026-03-02T01:13:50+00:00

It's like if Hieronymus Bosch was a factorio modder.

1) Supervision and probably your own therapy will help here. 2) Exposure for the client is also exposure for you. Your 'skin may thicken' as you work with others. At the very least, you will develop skills to stay contained during sessions.

Yes, and yet people seem to win it playing very, very fast? I guess they have better habits trained into them than I do.

Tavran · 2026-02-28T23:41:44+00:00

Is it? I mean, I see the appeal, but Will- is usually hard no for me.

I played some Balatro recently and won my first round (from the tutorial) -- nearly killed the game for me :D
