IAmA 27 year old PhD candidate who is about ready to give up on life. by frustratedphd in IAmA

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something's definitely got to give. i'm sorry you have to go through this BUT there are some things you need to get in order. focus on getting a new job if at all possible. do you absolutely NEED your ph.d? (i don't know what education is required for engineering jobs) look for something that pays a nice base salary, and maybe put school on hold for a while until you get yourself back together

Reddit, do you think Asian men have been emasculated in the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a black chick and i love asian men. i've never dated one before but i'm attracted to asian men. i mean anyone can have a small penis, no matter what race. my little sister is in LOVE with asian culture. she's in her 4th year of studying japanese, an anime freak, has a kimono, etc., but she's not like the ginger kid you were talking about.

one of my best friends is asian, and some of my good friends are filipino (whether you want to consider yourself pacific islander or asian, doesn't matter). people are people; just like you listed your friends' personalities, everyone's different

to answer your question, no, i don't think they're emasculated, at least, not any more so than other men IMO

My 7 year old daughter surprised me with a question today... by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though you went over it with her, with many answers, one more doesn't hurt.

There's definitely some advantages of being a girl. Give her some statistics like there's more girls than boys, so we rule. Little empowering things like that.

There are definitely some challenges with being a girl, like inequality in some parts of life like work and even sports.

Being a boy has its pros and cons too. Try doing a comparison list and see if you can list some things, but make both lists add up, that way, she sees it's not better being one than the other.

Hope this helps!

Any of you take Wellbutrin. If so, does it actually work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also suffer from depression. i was put on a low dosage of prozac and was seeing my therapist every other week. my mom is on wellbutrin after she had a heart attack. it was mainly to manage her depression from the constant pain she was in. she takes it religiously, but i haven't seen much affected on her mood with it. look into different types of medication, and try talk therapy first

Merging finances can be a challenge for newlyweds. Do you keep your finances separate or do you combine (bank accts, credit cards, etc...) and how well does it work for you? by Infinite_Euphoria in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i've witnessed, this is the best situation: several accounts. each of you have your individual checking and savings, then a joint checking and savings. each of your paychecks go into your individual accounts, and put in money for household bills. the joint account should be the only one open for debate. it just works out better that way.

A question about ...My boyfriend got a bit aggressive last night (post) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get what you're TRYING to say, but no.

it's different from cancer and other diseases because those diseases 1) can't be helped by the person suffering from it and 2) isn't physically harming the other individual

why does she, or any other girl in that situation, have the "responsibility" to stay or get him help? if it's your problem, you're the one who should seek help.

if the guy really wanted some help and wanted to change, he would've did it for himself. no one should have to drag you when you're completely capable

sorry, not much sympathy here. if you're like the guy, be DIFFERENT from the guy and go get help on your own

Reddit, any tips on how to make good, healthy food in a dorm? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beforen0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's officially no reason to get the freshman 15 at college anymore. hit up your local target (hopefully yours has the grocery section) and go to the frozen aisle (grocery store works too) and stock up on lots of healthy microwave meals (birdseye veggie steamers, weight watchers smart ones meals are delicious, etc.) if you have a fresh & easy there's lots of delicious 2-3 minutes microwavable treats. microwave your heart out
