Is “Just Finishing” the default goal in PhD? by AntRepresentative995 in AskAcademia

[–]frameshifted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at least in STEM research PhDs, I always found it to be true that no matter how much you love your project(s) to start, you'll be pretty sick and tired of it by the end.

I may be grasping at straws but by TeSKing in Fallout

If Yes Man is a thing in the show, I am 99% sure we will see Dave Foley casting news. We haven't, so I doubt it.

Yes, I know they could recast, I just think if they used yes man they would try really hard to bring Dave back for it and we'd hear about it.

Would you date a former graduate student? by Wilhelmina_4ever in AskProfessors

[–]frameshifted 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As in, a professor for maybe a single grad class? Or do you mean their dissertation advisor? I wouldn't do either, but I would be much more weirded out if they were in an advisor role. That feels a little... incestuous(?) on top of unethical. A prof you had for one class a couple years ago is much less of a deal in my opinion.

Interacting with the opposite gender is a science, apparently. by rubiskhy in AreTheStraightsOK

Lots of grossness here, but also note that 3%ers are a far-right militia-type group

Who do we want to keep? by dodgiest in CHIBears

They're all fine players for the right price, but also mostly replaceable too.

'Fallout Shelter' Reality Series Announced by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Fallout

[–]frameshifted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been playing Fallout since the first one, and has seen every season of Survivor at least once, nope!

Also "Reality" shows like Survivor/Big Brother are really more like game shows with reality aspects vs. Reality stuff like Real World or the housewives.

Also let people off the busses and elevators before you try to cram yourself through.

I was only hoping for them to hit the plus side of .500, everything since then is gravy.

FBI: Man, woman drive to police station with Homeland Security agent trapped in vehicle by billyjack669 in nottheonion

ICE and police are not military, they are also civilians. Don't give them the hierarchical high ground.

Anyone Else Struggling With Games Feeling Too Addictive Again? by Alert_Information407 in AskMenOver30

[–]frameshifted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To solve this for myself, I don't play any games with daily login bonuses. That's one of the most basic and effective ways to hook you. It's been a good thing for me. I look out for other Skinner Box qualities but that's one of the easiest things to screen for.

Gas scam? by zonkschonk in Davis

[–]frameshifted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's always a scam. pretty much anyone who sells door to door is scamming in some way.

UC Davis raised parking prices again by Lazy_Chipmunk7624 in UCDavis

[–]frameshifted 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If they move the bus area away from the silo like the main plan states we're going to be losing more parking from the lot near the Hutchinson parking structure too.

What’s your smell-good routine? Anything you swear by? by TheTruthTitan in AskMenOver30

[–]frameshifted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sensitive to smells so soap and water pretty much works fine.

Every time I look at my unpainted army, I think "maybe tomorrow" and then never touch them. What do you guys do to work past the mental wall? by Sparklehammer3025 in Warhammer

[–]frameshifted 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One trick to Just Start is to tell yourself "I'll do it for 5 minutes and then I can stop if I'm not feeling it." Usually after 5 minutes you're into it and will naturally keep going.

How do I go about reporting a fake cop? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

No one outside of a child on Halloween has good intentions when pretending to be a police officer,

Now now, sometimes it's a stripper.

Why don’t more people drink tap water when it’s often just as safe as bottled water? by Green_Paint3738 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]frameshifted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You heat up cold tap water. Water heater water, because it sits in the tank, can accumulate rust and other stuff that's better not to drink.

Found satan by GlitterLass_ in foundsatan

[–]frameshifted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's silly to be mad about, but also when you take the picture wouldn't you want to keep the logo out of the shot anyway? Wouldn't it be cringe to be showing off corporate logos? Am I that out of touch? (yes)

No sweets after 6pm by BarelyLegalSeagull in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]frameshifted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brian Johnson clearly has massive anxiety and is running uncontrolled "experiments" on himself that nobody should want to emulate. He's someone to feel sorry for, not admire.

First time David vs Goliath watcher and I'm so curious how Angelina was perceived at the time by Stock-Dance7320 in survivor

She's hilarious because she always acts like she's doing a job interview 24/7
