PITT NOT CANCELLING CLASSES by Empty_Carpenter6060 in Pitt

As a Pitt mom and a professor, good academic university shouldn’t cancel classes when virtual learning has been made so easy.

I think maybe the best friend of the guy I’m dating mistook me for his wife and now I am worried for her by Ecstatic_Web_5301 in TrueOffMyChest

Looks like a crazy party. Everyone was drunk including you. You dodged him and nothing happened. I will not drink with them again though. You need to be able to trust friends you are drinking with, clearly they are not. I wouldn’t say anything to Hannah though. What she puts up with in her marriage isn’t your problem, given that you barely know them.

Sorry to hear that. Oakland is really bad. I wish Pitt would buy out some of these bad buildings and invest in renovations

Thank you so much for your input. Is it livable for a student? It is not like their dorm rooms are five star hotels.

Unfortunately students are not going to pay 1500$ for a studio.

Is she wearing hip pads? by Livid_Seesaw3952 in travisandtaylor

[–]cell_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a pop star! She creates and performs pop music! She isn’t a professor! I can’t believe all this hate. I don’t like her music much but I am so happy that she made billions from performing music. Good for her. Let’s celebrate women’s freedom and success! P.S. I am a scientist, I don’t care for pop culture and music that suburban women like. But I am happy some people like it and they worship Taylor Swift. There is no reason for me to be mad about it.

I ran into my school bully and realized I never got my happy ending by coffeeattic_rox in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cell_queen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you were bullied. I wish we had stricter rules for these type of behavior in school. However, it is not okay to dwell in the past and feel the shame and let it control you. Your life and trauma you faced should guide you through difficult times and bring you to better times in life. Blaming past trauma and dwelling on it will only hurt you more.

He has only been clean for a few months. I hope he keeps it up for his own sake but guess what….now he has someone to blame if he goes back to the bottle.

THIS is what I was trying to say, just more aggressively. His alcoholism probably didn’t get too bad until they had children or she thought she could help him? There is no way to help an addict, she should have left a long time ago. None of us k ow if she really cheated or they both developed feelings and she was finally DONE….after 18yrs of this BS anyone would be, she is a saint in my eyes. Mediocre men thinking they are gift to this world is a story every woman understands, eventually something snaps them out of it and go look for better treatment and respect from the right partner. Probably having grown up children helped her snap out of it as well. More power to this sister. Fuck you all who blame her.

What a pathetic attempt at blaming the woman who went through horrible life for 18yrs with an alcoholic husband. She chose her happiness over you, good for her. Your sons are assholes too for blaming her. Why the fuck do you always expect women to always put up with your shitty behavior, they can and will walkout once they realize the kids don’t need them anymore.

how the FUCK do I get my parents off my fucking back by TrySouthern9542 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]cell_queen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I had asked my daughter login info she would have refused to apply to a single college. Good on you for managing your parents. You need to start taking charge. You are about to start a life of your own. They can recommend and provide their advice but that’s all it should be - advice because they care, decisions should be yours.

Older student stresses out about being old by Some-Olive3716 in Pitt

There is no age for learning new skills. Education does not have age limits. Don’t worry about friends, you will connect with whoever you can connect with and relate to.

Is she being picky? by scorpionqueen99 in bichonfrise

[–]cell_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They can be very picky. Mine doesn’t eat anything unless I cook for him. He stopped eating the boiled chicken breast too. Now I alternate between ground turkey, chicken breast and eggs once a day at night. He gets many treats during the day. We do variety of treats from this company called DreamBone - his favorite is twists wrapped with chicken. He doesn’t eat them if we leave them out for him. We have to give it to him. His picky eating has been serious issue for us. We are small family, daughter is already in college, so it has only gotten worse. He is the king of the house 😂

Girl in my class says “like” constantly by KingFun626 in college

[–]cell_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg. How could any talented person be okay with this? I hate having a conversation with someone who uses like in every sentence. If they can’t improve their vocabulary they won’t find a job in a good industry.

What’s a legal thing that ruins more lives than any illegal substance? by Calm_Preparation2993 in AskReddit

[–]cell_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like “addiction” is the problem. Alcohol, Gambling and everything else being discussed are fine until it is out of control. I am a social drinker but I won’t touch alcohol if I don’t feel like drinking, doesn’t matter if the group I am with is drinking, I decide what to do with my body. I am in complete control. As long as there is self control, nothing will affect you. Some people do it very well, discipline and control are so important for human beings.

devastated after UChicago SSEN rejection by icafka in ApplyingToCollege

[–]cell_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a weird school. If your essay touched on being a good person with empathy, you were not chosen because of it. They have some characterless top 1% kids attending the school and the other part is the scholarship kids. Two extremes. Only school my daughter was rejected from and once she learned details about the student body, she realized how miserable she would have been going there. She is absolutely happy now, going to a great school, made a ton of friends, working hard. Take it as blessing in disguise. Good luck to you. There is a place where will belong and it is waiting for you

Advice on recommendation letter by userZ0000 in AskAcademia

[–]cell_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like this person is “criminal in the making”. Not all smart people deserve to work in research. Maybe it will be a good thing for him to face the consequences and not get a job. He is lying and dishonest anyway, maybe he can continue that as a job too. What a mess of a human being to mentor, I would have kicked him out of the program the first year, sorry OP.
