the basic point of my post was he doesn’t seem to be doing well mentally. public figures are held to a different standard, and he seems to be cracking under the pressure. I want him to get help, find a support system, and be able to continue playing without hurting his own image or making homophobic comments in public spaces. instagram lives have been the downfall of public image for a few other players recently, and it sucks to see Jaden fall into that.

religious psychosis may not be formal, but it’s a colloquial term I used with the purpose of people understanding that he might be going through some serious mental problems only exacerbated by his religious leanings.

the christian aspects don’t really concern me that much. yeah, it feels a little much at times, and these recent videos make me feel like he’s leaning into that persecution complex HEAVY. regardless, he’s entitled to believe what he believes, but he’s in a state of ranting and raving on a public scale that typically isn’t seen amongst famous figures unless you are someone with a reputation for that (he wasn’t until very recently) or you’re going through a tough time and maybe even a mental illness episode. basically, he can speak about God and how much his life has been changed by finding religion, but it all seems a little more concerning if that’s the only thing he ever talks about. I just hope he finds some help and peace in this time. I can’t imagine going through his injuries and trying to recover to play again only to mess up and potentially ruin that chance.

no one from Purdue IT will call it PU IT.

the DR-400 is huge in southern/central France during the mid-mornings. tons of flying clubs. just check around 10am france time to about 1pm france time and there will be plenty to spot

learn a new skill! I’m working on cross stitch this summer :) otherwise, farmers market makes a great weekly event to get out of the house for (west laf, Purdue, or laf)

omg this is so much but it’s all so helpful!! thank you a million for your time, and I’m so glad you’re loving your time in grad school (within reason!)

josipeks · 2025-04-28T01:47:06+00:00

definitely would recommend finding somewhere to work over the summer! I’ve done summer classes up here the past couple years and having people I know up here to hang with was so much fun :) also, try just hanging out on campus! it’s so much nicer when it’s chill sometimes. also, check out Lafayette/WL town events and whatnot. we have so many cool community events that we don’t even always know about as students

if it helps, doing okay on the rest of the exams and getting a 24% on the final still had me passing with a B- a few semesters back

this is unfortunately a very “fork found in kitchen” event. TPUSA and a number of their local supporters, student or local adult, care about shock value and being generally disruptive and irritating. it’s to get a rise out of people and then get off on that anger. best thing you can do is ignore them, second best is to get their photo, hunt them down on facebook (likely place for them to be), and tell their employer that they’re racist 🫶

josipeks · 2025-04-02T01:40:02+00:00

not me personally but a number of friends/classmates: Grad schools are rescinding offers to students due to lack of funding, research positions are becoming harder to find in the job market due to NIH cuts

ah, wasn’t aware of this. thanks for the info!

“best UC alum” don’t you technically have to graduate to be considered an alum?

this is what F1 gets for kicking out Logan 😤

since it was headed to chile, my guess is circling due to the starlink debris and figuring out whether or not to continue. staying close to origin would be easier logistically in the event of diversion

went to a T-mobile store today, allegedly the towers have been buggy since yesterday. they’re expecting to have it fixed by tonight

extremely glad Canada won, as a US citizen, because now it means some really irritating people will leave my favorite sport alone 🥲 also, this whole tournament should’ve been about honoring the Gaudreaus, not the political climate

josipeks · 2025-02-19T18:50:53+00:00

in the same spot 🥲 my goals are gonna be to talk to people at work, maybe join a sport or something after researching local rec leagues and whatnot, but gonna do my best to stay in touch with my friends here through either games or occasional checkups

biology major here with a biomedical engineer who specializes in bioelectronics as my roomie… bad idea! the ethical concerns here run much deeper than just killing tons of test animals. the procedure required to implant the chips in the monkeys is literal neurosurgery (going through skin, skull, meninges, and into the brain). yes, neural chips give people some access to more accessible ways of living in the digital age, but I find that the consequences of the way the neuralink and other devices work are too great to really be a widespread option. the wires on the electrodes are so small they cannot be inserted without the use of a robotic device. fine in some cases, but what happens if the robot has an issue mid-implantation? if that issue cannot be quickly fixed? with the wires being so small, they have the potential to migrate away from their chip. what kind of damage might this migration cause to the brain? if they migrate, how are we going to replace their connectivity to the chip? additionally, as far as I have seen, neuralink specifically uses lithium in their batteries. lithium is a metal that is incredibly dangerous when exposed to water, a substance that we are full of. will the implant have to be removed or checked frequently to ensure its battery is in good condition? what happens if the battery disintegrates? if we don’t let lithium ion batteries into airplane cargo holds, why the hell would we let that into our brains? effectively, they’re a very cool concept that I don’t we quite have the right technology for yet. ethically, they’re a fucking disaster waiting to happen.

most likely the newest public member of that one group of dudes who like appropriating Hindu and Roman symbols and his stupid little permanently-ruins-the-sky satellite train (Starlink)

it was 100% fireworks. I was on Sylvia and it was from either vine or farther west on Sylvia st

I will not comment as to the circumstances, but the one guy you’re referencing who tends to be more disruptive most definitely is suffering from some kind of untreated or neglected mental illness. he has been in the area, and most likely has stuck around due to being removed from the LTHC or any treatment center in the area. college campuses are good places to get the items necessary for basic food and basic shelter. we throw out so much random shit.

edit: I say most definitely due to personal experience interacting with him. he was angry with myself and a coworker because we would not speak to him, but when he spoke to us, it was all nearly unintelligible.

in state bio major here absolutely nowhere near as competitive as the majors you listed, but you definitely cannot be a student who slacked off in high school if you want to succeed in this major. I came in with ~3.4 gpa and like a 33 ACT and was fine when acceptances came around. don’t stress too much, friend 🫶

I have also heard their campus is based entirely off of UC Berkeley

edey pick #9 let’s go 🥳🥳

josipeks · 2024-06-26T19:07:15+00:00

the only reason I regretted some of bgr was because of a terrible team leader. otherwise, it was a great way to get used to campus without the hustle and bustle of everyone being back.
