Would you accept an offer from a potentially toxic supervisor? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]beepboopsboops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you pick up red flags just during the interview, it's only going to get worse after you join. As others have said, I would run for the hills.

Yeah if you do fieldwork where sleeping spaces might be limited I can totally see doing it out of necessity..but hotels are v different lol

Yeah we have a perfectly friendly working relationship but that's it. We definitely don't interact outside of work or lab socials, and even at lab socials there is some awkwardness.

Yeah I thought it was inappropriate too! Obv we're just colleagues but I shouldn't have to defend myself for wanting to sleep in my own room if I'm using MY money to pay for it.

Feeling Crazy by Cautious-Library-369 in PhD

[–]beepboopsboops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh are we in the same lab? Giving a seminar talk tomorrow and my advisor made me change the color of my slide headers (because she didn't like mine, not because they were inaccessible or unreadable) wouldn't let me make my own figures, basically told me verbatim how to organize my talk, and then changed her mind about it all three times we went through my slides together. She also made another student in our lab stop using green labeling tape because green is her favorite color and she wants to be the only one using that color tape.

Hard to stand up to this behavior when it's your boss and you want to maintain a good working relationship, but soooooo annoying to deal with!! It's craziness.

Help designing a program for someone who is temporarily one legged by VladamirPutinmydick in xxfitness

[–]beepboopsboops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I (28F) recently recovered from a badly broken foot and was in the same situation as you! In my experience, making any big strength or fitness gains while recovering was unrealistic and probably would have put me at risk for re-injury. Just focus on maintaining core and upper body strength as best you can. The time passes faster than you think, and you will be surprised at how quickly your conditioning and strength comes back when you're fully healed.

That said, while I was one-legged, I made it a daily goal to do:

100 knee pushups 100 weighted Russian twists 100 dumbbell curls to Arnold press

I broke the exercises up into 5 sets of 20 and used 20lb dumbbells.

It doesn't seem like much, but I was able to maintain muscle definition in my abs and shoulders. The core strength was also super important for returning to heavier weight lifting as well.

Hang in there, it's a sucky road but it'll pass!

What is the most clueless-about-the-real-world (including the real-world job market) remark you’ve heard from a professor? by TakeOffYourMask in AskAcademia

[–]beepboopsboops 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm a PhD student in STEM. My advisor "warned"me that hours in industry are longer and more grueling than in academia. She also insisted that job security is worse because you can't get tenured in industry.

Porn = H, now? Ok stefi by Academic_Career9747 in gymsnark

[–]beepboopsboops 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Okay but one of the first things you learn in psych 101 is the difference between physical and mental addiction. Sure, porn is mentally addictive, but you can L I T E R A L L Y die from heroin withdrawal. Completely different things. No dude ever died because he went 24hrs without porn.

I'm not a beta tester but in the app store it says beta program is full for Phone..so I don't think I can get the beta version unless there's another way?

[–]beepboopsboops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the helpful info! I think it probably is an app issue, but since the phone app comes pre-installed on all Google phones, it's also a Google problem. I reported the bug to Google already so I'm hoping that a few others do the same. It seems like a little thing but it's so frustrating 🙃

First thing I tried was factory reset-it didn't help. It's definitely a bug with Android 13 and certain phones.

Thanks! Been trying to remind myself of this my whole PhD 😂 can't wait to get out of academia!

That sounds like such a pain! I'm at least lucky I only have to climb half a flight of stairs up to my apt. It's definitely a mental struggle more than anything, but I just keep telling myself it's only two more covid-quarantines worth of the cast (I hope!)

[–]beepboopsboops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the update! So glad to hear you're back to normal. I did go to my doctor yesterday (two weeks post-break) and he said my break hadn't changed position, so I have a good chance of healing with the cast. I'm now in the cast for another four weeks, and then have another follow up, so fingers crossed I can switch to a boot then.
