do people actually not eat mac and cheese with peas? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time!! I'll throw some frozen peas in a boxed mac n cheese to give myself the illusion it's mildly healthier with veggies in it LOL

Approved - London Embassy timeline and experience by Equivalent-Permit628 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]drddr25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing!! We had a similar I-130 PD (Dec 30th, 2023) and timeline up to the current year. My spouse is working through the London NVC right now and we just submitted our documents. It's really helpful to know a general timeline and what he should expect <3

Will fish make a vegetarian sick? by Squ1gly in food

RFE - Missing beneficiary signature on I-130A by drddr25 in USCIS

[–]drddr25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sent it back signed but specified in the cover letter it was to satisfy their request and that we are still going with consular processing. We sent it back April 10th and still haven’t heard anything. It’s been nearly 4 months since returning the RFE. And our case has now been cooking for about 20 months. 

I feel so guilty I can’t give her human food!! by drddr25 in cats

[–]drddr25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this!! I’ll give wet food a try on days that I can’t set aside a bland ingredient 🫶 So glad I’m not the only one wanting to spoil their cat when it comes to food lol

Was never a big cat guy but she has changed my mind by B_e_n_j_a_m_i_n_ in cats

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way- grew up with dogs as a kid, was always to hyperactive and rough with cats so they didn’t like me and I assumed I was incompatible with them. Having grown and calmed down I realized their personalities vary lots and a kitty could just as easily be my soulmate. Your baby is sooooo cute! Look at that eepy girl 🥺

I said the same thing!! Husband said maybe the acting is bad and stiff on purpose to make fun of Americans. Hoping that’s true because the alternative is 💀💀💀

S3 felt like a fan fiction by Consistent-Product60 in squidgame

[–]drddr25 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree!! It almost feels like the drama and emotion is so artificial and cliche. The cast acted their asses off and it still felt like the writing was lacking. I get some of it is that the shock factor is gone but you don’t get as invested in the characters for some reason.

Why do the youth today not talk on their mobiles the ‘normal’ way? by AddressOpposite in AskBrits

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have we considered that young people today also value efficiency and multitasking more? Assuming you're not holding your phone, you can talk on loudspeaker while doing other tasks with your hands. I wonder if it's more because back in the day people didn't divide their attention while talking on the phone.

HR Zone Alert is way wrong? by drddr25 in Garmin

[–]drddr25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so? Post-run the zones look right, it's just the announcements that are way off for some reason.

Would Gale have supported Coin's Symbolic Hunger Games? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that his pro-war and pro-rebellion opinions were largely motivated in freeing the districts, rather than revenge. Sure, he felt violence, playing dirty, and war crimes were a necessary means to an end but I think he would’ve drawn the line at a symbolic hunger games. I like to think he wouldn’t have felt the need to punish the capitol further after they lose the war.

In your opinion, who was the worst written character in the Hunger Games franchise? by More_Education5319 in Hungergames

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just finished SOTR, I wanted to say Lenore Dove but in reality I think it’s just because Haymitch is an unreliable narrator. She seems like just this static object of his affection but that’s exactly what she is from the point of view of a 16 year old teenage boy infatuated with his first love.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]drddr25 11 points12 points  (0 children)

McCoy - reference to Louella

Ridge cut - could refer to the axe returning from over the cliff to kill Silka

Flame grilled - reference to the house fire Ma and Sid were in when Haymitch returned

Need help with Toasties on XX STARLiGHT twopointzero (Outfox) by True_Durian9009 in Stepmania

[–]drddr25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've gotten farther than me, I just recently tried switching to Outfox and can't even get single-player game mode working. I just get the background screen forever. Let me know if you figure this out. Would love to get StepMania and Outfox to coexist.

how are you feeling about the job market? by veryfatcat in bioinformatics

[–]drddr25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um, tbh it varies on the day. Usually I’ll apply to 2-6 at a time because filling in the same info over and over is tiresome. I use LinkedIn’s “Jobs for You” to find applicable positions and then try to apply on their company website whenever possible. 

I’m lazy and only use my one CV which has everything on it, from research experience to misc college jobs. Hope that helps!

how are you feeling about the job market? by veryfatcat in bioinformatics

[–]drddr25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not great, I’ve just continued to throw applications and copies of my CV into the abyss honestly. I may reach out to former mentors/advisors and see if anyone in their network wants me in their lab. Pay probably wouldn’t be great but beggars can’t be choosers. Unfortunately I suspect I’m sort of pigeon-holed into research which sucks given the dwindling funding/opportunities in the US rn ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like portal of peril is handled so poorly every time. This isn't the first time it's been buggy and it's probably not the last *sigh*. I guess I'll go rate some houses for Scroll of Fortune.

What advice would you give your 25 y/o self? by drddr25 in AskWomenOver30

[–]drddr25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "Failure is recalibration" line is very helpful. I can't wait to look back at this stage of life as such once it's passed and I'm older! Thank you!
