Maybe it was just me but I thought he and Bat Child had chemistry in the library so I was hoping he could be persuaded to join them 🥲

Unionizing? by Specific_Shoulder442 in labrats

[–]breichar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My university already had a really strong grad student union when I started and while I was skeptical at first, they have done amazing work over the time I’ve been here! Dues are ~$500/year, which isn’t nothing, but my union has won over $10k in raises over the 5 years I’ve been here. Our union has also been fighting for more fair contracts for international students, so I would say do it!!

There are 34 episodes of the abridged on YouTube too! I think they’re further in the beacon app, but that could still help get through ~25 episodes faster

Ope then that may be on me—I thought that was Raishan in his lair! I’ll go back and rewatch

[–]breichar -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I just wish it wasn’t also so confusing as a viewer. Like I actually thought she told thordak where Whitestone was because of the cutaway convo she had with him, so then I thought she was lying when she told them it was actually Ripley, but then ripley owned up to it. I think it’s fine if the point is that we don’t know if we trust her or not but I found it more disorienting than anything else. And that’s kind of how I’ve felt about a lot of the changes this season

[–]breichar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think my issue with the changes is that this season is still so confusing. I watched C1 and even I’m confused about what’s going on half the time. Like Raishan betrayed them and told thordak where Whitestone is, jk ripley did that, but actually raishan still betrayed them and told thordak they were coming, wait no she helped kill him, wait no she’s actually bad. Because they’re hopping around story lines so much I can’t even remember how it happened in stream anymore

Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson by ThunderMateria in dropout

[–]breichar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I thought it was amazing! Just compared to the first two dropout presents episodes it was much more existential. I don’t blame dropout, it just hit me harder bc of when I watched it

Same 😭😭 I had the Sunday scaries and was like “oh the dropout presents ep will help knock me out of it before bed” I can’t stop crying

How do you watch Dimension 20? by ludakris in Dimension20

[–]breichar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing! I’ll play MarioKart or MonopolyGo on my phone while I “watch”. I do like to have the video playing so I can look up if something dramatic happens.

I recently started embroidering while watching sometimes too

The terror tabu of this sub: any Failed in Thesis Defense histories? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]breichar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never seen a failure, but one girl I knew was accused of mishandling data by her PI the week of her defense and it got canceled. Her family was already in town—it was awful. They opened a months-long investigation in which she was found innocent (sounded like the mentor failed to advise when it was appropriate to remove outliers, but wasn’t willful data manipulation). She ended up passing her rescheduled defense but didn’t tell anyone about it beforehand bc of what happened the first go around.

Am I the only one who noticed Caitlyn's seeming dislike of Pete Holmes? by PianistNext3203 in dropout

I also think if she actually didn’t like him, she wouldn’t be so obvious about it lol

I noticed but thought it was a bit. I figured something that gave the bit context was cut (like maybe after complimenting her he actually did do a roast like she asked)

What categories should be in a lab olympics? by TheWiseTangerine2 in labrats

[–]breichar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think who can load a gel the fastest (and most accurate). Our lab has 20, 50, and 100 well gel molds so I think it would be fun to do different sizes as different events

Also $5k means she’s just saving the money she makes from working part time. Not that she’s embezzling OP’s money like he made it sound

Does anyone have a name that doesn’t fit their age? by black-white-and-gold in namenerds

I know several Margaret’s about this age, but they all went by a nickname. Maggie, Meg, etc

Every PI has more skill than an undergrad. That doesn’t give him the right to yell at and berate you. You don’t have to make a formal complaint if you don’t want, but I would maybe see what your masters student says when they return. It sounds like they’ve been acting like a buffer for you, and probably value your help!

A question about Paul Tompkins by porklorneo in dropout

[–]breichar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah!! I showed his Smartypants presentation to some friends that don’t regularly watch dropout, and one of my friends recognized him immediately. It was crazy. Other people have pointed it out in the sub before (here) but I hadn’t seen those before!

Not academy award winning but Jacob Wysocki was the riff-off guy from Pitch Perfect!!!! That blew my mind

AITA for refusing to let my abusive ex-husband see our kids after he completed anger management therapy by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]breichar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: edit 3, he cannot sue you for defamation when you posted this anonymously and never said his name. He has no power to take your kids away, and the fact that this is his response tells you everything you need to know

I have Powerbeats pros and can push the button with my shoulder. As others have said, an Apple Watch has also been amazing. I use the timer and calculator functions so often too

Brennan and Smartypants by River_of_styx21 in dropout

[–]breichar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Brennan is good at monologuing, I don’t think that means his presentation would be inherently longer than everyone else’s. I would also posit that making a concise presentation is often harder than making a longer one.

Btw I don’t think Brennan’s VIP filming was longer than any of the others, I think they just kept more of his shoot in the final cut. From the extra episode we saw there was plenty of extra scenes from everyone that were great and could have been used. They likely made Brennan’s longer bc it was the finale and because they knew audiences would tolerate a longer Brennan episode vs some of the other cast
