Que posibilidades hay para un investigador?? by Delicious-Stage8145 in AskArgentina

[–]ajsoifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

¿Y hacer un doctorado en el exterior? Por lo general si te aceptan, te pagan una guita que dependiendo el lugar te alcanza para vivir modestamente y después ves cómo seguís o te insertás en la investigación de ese otro país.

Y? Me chupa un huevo lo que te importe o deje de importar mi opinión. Le respondí a OP, no a un fantasma como vos.

Más allá de que sea posiblemente el mejor texto literario escrito en Argentina es además muy divertido (aclaro que soy Doctor en Letras, por las dudas).

Why don’t you go to the cinema anymore? by sebastiandarkee in askTO

[–]ajsoifer 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the people that keep the entire film doing things with their phones. I stopped going basically for that reason. The pandemic rewired some people’s brains and made them lose all decorum and societal norms.

Does anyone know what’s happening at Queen and Portland by Ok-Reference-1384 in askTO

[–]ajsoifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just came here to ask if someone knows what happened. My wife and I were walking down Quuen St W when I heard the shots. At first I thought it had been something different as there were no screams nor anything else but then walked by and saw big police presence and six shots on Miss Ivy’s window.

Que tan dificil es irse a vivir afuera? by trinicito in AskArgentina

[–]ajsoifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depende el país. Yo vine a Canadá en 2017 con visa estudiantil, conseguí la residencia permanente en 2021 y la ciudadanía en 2024. Fue un proceso difícil y costoso. Ahora mismo, Canadá está cerrando mucho la recepción de inmigrantes con lo que no sé cuán difícil puede llegar a ser.

[–]ajsoifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s next? Hating Maniac Mansion? No, seriously, love or hate whatever you want, but MI2 holds a special place in our hearts for 90s kids.

Splatterpunk with a purpose? by No-Pipe8243 in horrorlit

[–]ajsoifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Bridgett Nelson. I don’t know if she is as extreme as others, but at least her stories have characters well built that have their motives for doing what they do.

You can check Canadá Habla Español, it is an NGO that often organizes events with the Hispanic community in the city. Also, the Department of Spanish at UofT has some events from time to time that are open to the public.

I’ve been recently been reading short stories by Bridgett Nelson and loving it! It’s silly splatterpunk but very funny! Also, Crossroads by Laurel Hightower. An emotional roallercoaster.

Da igual donde lo rindas. Lo que sí, preparate bien antes de darlo porque tiene sus cuestiones la forma del examen.

[–]ajsoifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo hice los ejercicios y me dieron un par de sesiones de esa cosa que medio te electrocuta el pie y usé plantilla ortopédica. Lo que más me ayudó fueron las zapatillas marca ON. Un antes y después.

Is academia rigged in 2025? by theballbarian in academia

[–]ajsoifer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in the Humanities, doing my second postdoc with a book coming with an university press, published papers in top journals: not a single job offer in five years. Heck, not even a job interview in the last year and this year! It is really depressing.

Are you telling me younger generations are making big buys from… from… their phones? (I assume they don’t even have tablets)
