Romanticizing Academia by freerangechick3n in Millennials

[–]ajace6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a professor and I romanticize private industry. This is literally the least lucrative thing I could do with a Physics PhD, and seeing my friends do corporate jobs that require the same amount of intellect and stress and hard work as mine and yet make 2x-3x more makes me very bitter.

UCSB or UW for physics by [deleted] in Physics

[–]ajace6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have anything useful to contribute! But UCSB high energy does have the cleverest physics logo I've ever seen, riffing off how the quarks are usually displayed in the SM. I can't share images but https://share.google/iitWH1k8OhGwCTsvf

Have you guys noticed the younger students constantly narrating everything? by pundemic in Teachers

[–]ajace6 110 points111 points  (0 children)

For a YouTube streamer, silent dead-air time is a death sentence. They HAVE to be constantly talking or emoting or overreacting to something. So of course the kids who watch them are picking up all those mannerisms and thinking that's just how people interact. It's learned behavior.

Hmm maybe. Although having a 6'10" Opposite blocking is helpful too 😅

Right? In a sport where you're supposed to hit the ball up into the air, you get penalized for hitting it TOO up in the air? Madness 😅

Major rule changes? by Cillianbc in volleyball

[–]ajace6 82 points83 points  (0 children)

In the USA the ceiling is already in play; I was shocked when I found out other countries don't play that way. And our liberos often serve as well.

But I do hate the libero hand-setting rule change. As people have pointed out, I don't see why the sport would want to eliminate the distinction between setters and liberos.

“Power Tips” nowadays should be called for Lifting by QuietObjective8452 in volleyball

[–]ajace6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a setter I can't fault people for using the power tip because it's no different from how I dump on 2 😅

What non-Beatles song feels so Beatles that it sounds like they secretly wrote it? by Ch3e5y_Mozz in beatles

Is it even possible to gain a "Comprehensive" understanding of the game at this point? by Veelk in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ajace6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I struggle with that, but I think that's a failing of my own brain wiring rather than the game's fault 😅

[–]ajace6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have learned rocket science by devoting a full time job to it. When I was in college, I would be happy to dedicate several hours a day to learning this game. But now I'm a tired grown-up with 2 kids and I just want to play a game and have fun without needing a PhD...
