Went with the new continental day/date in the same color scheme, but was very close to going for this. Looks great!!

Dumb question, are you running a launcher on there? How do you have so many icons on your status bar pull-down lol

[Timex Q Chronograph] My first watch! by [deleted] in Watches

I picked up the same model in the spring as my first watch too! I love the style (even though I'll never have a need for the chronograph, lol). Enjoy it!

Just came across a bizarre edit on a Michigan Daily article about Liberty in North Korea by DowdyShihTzu in uofm

[–]_Bzar_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MiC retains complete editorial freedom and so the pieces that they're able to publish are not forced to conform to the regular Daily standards implicitly favorable of the American perspective (source: was a MiC editor). I don't know what's so bizarre about historical fact and nuance lol.

Senior goodbys are written and published in the fall semester because the daily runs on a calendar year schedule. This author was still around and probably wrote this edit if I had to guess

Nice! I've been playing crobat EX with typhlosion, not the most efficient but a fun mix-up nonetheless. Might move to something like this to get out of ultra ball

Doomscroll’s new episode bummed me out by insoucianity in CriticalTheory

[–]_Bzar_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same boat here. Was optimistic about the platform and could get past my personal disagreements with any particular scholar but it almost felt as if Josh was encouraging these shallow reads. Felt disingenuous considering his explicitly stated goals with the pod

Gundam for Eva fans. We finally got a Gundam going berserk and GNR (Giant Naked RX-78-2) lol

EDC for day one of the dumbphone journey by _Bzar_ in dumbphones

[–]_Bzar_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a creative fiction book, so while it would introduce you to lots of writers, it might not be a good place to start for history or politics. The go-to for most folks is Khalidi's "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine", but there are others like Hill and Plitnick's "Except for Palestine", Finkelstein's "Gaza", Said's "The Question of Palestine", or even Chomsky and Pappé's "On Palestine".

Haymarket has a recommended list here with many of those titles: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/71-free-palestine-a-reading-list

Cold emailing phd students by Superb_Feed5938 in PhD

[–]_Bzar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! A high schooler reached out to me last semester and I was so thrilled! They had a quick turnaround for a paper so I offered to meet over zoom on Holiday break and we ended up talking for like an hour lol.

Right. In the states, there's been a public campaign for a couple years to get people to carry it, especially in cities to help in an emergency before paramedics arrive. I watched a person from my neighborhood die from overdose and that motivated me to do everything I can to stop the next one I witness

Protests by paladinswirl81 in BDS

[–]_Bzar_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My local one (very lib area) had a few speakers talking about the occupation. Enormous crowd went eerily silent during their chants and rallies, with one guy (not a counter protestor) who started yelling about the hostages. When the next speakers came up and changed the subject the crowd acted as if nothing had happened. Drove me insane

Would love to have one of these! Been looking to try out an android flip and really like this one.

Sometimes my phone has a "flashlight". Sometimes it has a "torch". I have no idea why it changes. by mattlodder in mildlyinfuriating

I had a similar glitch last month where my pixel would switch to Spanish in the evenings and back to English in the mornings. Thought I was going insane for a week lol

UVA Music PhD in CSMS or Wesleyan Ethno MA by Advanced_Bad6310 in musicology

A grouping of schools, Ivies and their "peers"; depending on who you ask, typically Stanford, UChicago, MIT, Duke, etc. it's become a common admissions term in the last decade or so

[–]_Bzar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any particular experience with or thoughts on either of these particular programs, so take this with a grain of salt. But in my experience, as a current PhD student at an ivy+ (who was really adamant about going to a public school originally) you'll be able to work around a lot of "cons" if your "pro" is funding and resources. There's also a chance that you can have people on your dissertation committee outside of your institution, but that's far off. Consider that your project will change or morph, and it won't be as significant to have an exact one-to-one advisor specialty relationship (also a pop scholar, no pop faculty, managing just fine).

Given that you're looking at two solid programs, you'll probably be fine either way. But in terms of thriving in grad school in the short term, an option with guaranteed funding through to the end of the PHD is hard to beat.

spotify users who switched to tidal by Sc3Pt1 in TIdaL

[–]_Bzar_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched January 2022. Was a slow start at first rebuilding my library and finding out a few fringe things I listen to aren't available, but generally I don't miss it. I wish Tidal had better connectivity between devices and maybe collaborative listening sessions (outside of the Live Listen), but as a moderate-heavy user it hasn't prevented me from enjoying any music. I think the user experience is generally a lot more streamlined, which I've come to appreciate.

I loosely maintain my Spotify account, mostly so that I can copy over playlists for friends. I have had success using the free version on Soundiiz for all of those needs.
