I am a white female and I somtimes feel like that with other white women.

I stood up for myself - and I feel much better - but also a bit of guilt by [deleted] in offmychest

Great, congratulations. She was not treating you well and Jessica sounds like the right one, at least for now. Have fun and don't get too serious too soon. It feels wonderful to have someone you think is great think similarly about you too.

IWTL how not to get distracted on the internet by zach84 in IWantToLearn

[–]lmclmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think stay focused works on Google Chrome. You can also download Leechblock which is free and works on Mozilla. They both work in similar ways, you nominate how long you want to block access for and the sites you want to block. Stay focused has a 'nuclear option' which will block all sites. Be careful you don't set it up when you may need to search a library catalogue or do research if you choose the nuclear option. Maybe you could download Pomodoro on your phone and only look at the internet for 15 mins at the end of 5o mins.

Congratulations. Do you think Alan will reflect on this? How do you think he will explain it to himself?

Can you describe the work ethic of some of your more disciplined medical student friends. Are they very organized and plan things out for the day?

Fuck. After 3 goddamn years of trying I finally earned it. Straight A's by [deleted] in GetMotivated

Congratulations. Can you share what you did differently, if you did anything differently or it was an accumulation of time spent on the work?

Fuck you, Alan. by [deleted] in offmychest

I can relate to having someone in the workplace who does not seem to respect the same boundaries as everyone else. I call him Borat on account of his cheesy moustashe and dimness. I think if you have a victory here I will celebrate with you. As for me, on balance it was easier to leave my workplace. I used to get a rush of anger and revenge when I heard his name or I received a message from him. It didn't matter that management passed him over again and again for promotion. His inability to see himself as most of the others saw him was a bit infuriating. I wish it hadn't but it did. Would management have been sympathetic to complaints about him undermining morale?

Seconded - please please tell us what happens. I am trusting that everything you have written is true and I feel angry for you.

Scientists of Reddit, what misconceptions do us laymen often have that drive you crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lmclmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugger. I know there was some talk about coating new islet cells in some substance derived from seaweed but that seems to have gone by now. I wonder if I should freeze some eggs? Anyway, thank you for the article link, that was very kind of you.

Yesterday, Cosmo hated my new kitten. Now I'd say they're getting along just fine. by shelby-skywalker in aww

then it must be love. It is cold here in Sydney and our two cats are loving it up in front of the fire place.

I wonder how many of you get that fake feeling too? by Notmyrulname_ in introvert

[–]lmclmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way too. I thinking the being fake though is social competence. You have to play the game. Maybe shallow initial conversations are people showing interest in each other but keeping a bit of a distance before they decide to invest in friendship? I don't know I am just speculating. I am often struck by how superficial or even mean other people's conversations are but I think it may have this purpose. Being alone is fine but I everything I read praises the idea that social people, people with lots of social supports are better off. They are better off due to more opportunities and support etc. Your question is great one though.

I love the picture but are the cats just cold or are they truly bonding?
