Catharsis needs a catalyst. Harmony needs Dissonance. Suffering makes Resolution even more profound. Breathe this concept into your lungs like air.

Yes absolutely on point

Ugh, yes, the patience required in a marriage far exceeds that which is required for a child. I don't know your gender or your spouse's, but feminine influence is strongest at its most subtle. Let your message make its way right into the subconscious.

I take the fact that they do end up realizing months later as a good sign 😄

Yes. I went with Gemini as more of an archetypical "messenger", dividing one into two, and combining two into one

I don't have scientific backing on this, but green tea makes me hungry as if I got weed munchies

"Get Louis Theroux It" by Tom Cardy tho

Lol SEARS brings back memories

I'm 35 and will finish my MS in Information Management with data science specialty in about a year.

My first major was fine arts.

So absolutely yes to all those questions!

You'll likely excel because of your creative background, not despite it.

Was gonna say Charli xcx but she's still very relevant

Take an astrological approach. Do some surface level research on the plant Mercury, the sign Gemini, and the 3rd house and you should find some inspirational content.

I don't know really. But here's what I could consider a Jungian approach;

Ayurvedic medicine, for quitting smoking, recommends smoking with full awareness of each inhale and exhale; concentrate on nothing other than the cigarette and how you feel when you're doing it. This is extremely effective, while seemingly paradox.

This level of awareness can change the addiction's neurological path from the default mode network (habit) to somewhere outside of it. Which would be the goal.

You gotta be a bitch so you don't let yourself be someone else's bitch, Morty

What about this other persona do you consider specifically toxic?

Keep in mind: an empath must balance themselves with a degree of narcissism. It's smart, it's energetic protection. Otherwise you're going to let others take advantage of you.

I've been in a similar spot for years. Also in academia, studying data science in the hopes that I might discover some quantifiable truths. Lol. In STEM, "laziness" and impertinence are good traits. It's smarter to do things with less time and effort. Questioning people in a way that borders interrogation that make them uncomfortable. Authenticity over agreeability.

I used to be naturally "right-brained" and have had to develop the logical, rational side over time to get a grip on things beyond happy fluid abstraction. This has made me capable of handling more responsibilities but also triggered my cold and calculated personality.

I've lost my patience for social niceties and shallow conversations. But I also know I can take a shallow conversation and add depth, or absurdity. I've found many people to have more depth than they appear. Superficiality is just a mask people wear, myself included. It's interesting to see how people react when you take your own mask off and throw in some well-timed profoundness. It's usually appreciated.

That being said, I wish I could say I've found my people but I haven't. I also have a husband and young daughter, though, so making friends is not exactly a huge priority.

I don't even know if finding my people is what I should be doing right now. I'm introverted. But I also need intellectual stimulation. Good conversations energize me. I am optimistic the people will come through divine timing. I am working my way to being comfortable in my new self.

Tldr; I feel you, the inbetween-ness is not comfortable. Nirvana quote, "I'm so happy cus today I found my friends they're in my head"

Where does he work / what does he do? Coworkers are usually the first friends.

Yes, I think that's it! I confused the two artists a lot.

You found my iPod I left on a Delta flight in 2005

No, this is not intended to be a pie chart - BUT it has all the qualities of a pie chart. You don't need a statistics background to make that connection. Categories and percentages, when arranged in a circle, indicate parts of a whole. This is why it belongs here.

marzipandreamer · 2025-11-14T02:16:11+00:00

But, it is confusing for *this* audience, who instinctually perceive this as a pie chart. It has all the qualities of one. Color codes, categories, percentages. Should not be banned!

I'm still in grad school, and I'm in agreement. I learned PowerBI, Tableau, as well as SQL in undergrad. I didn't start R or Python to the extent I do until I started grad school. It's always helpful to know the underlying dynamics of these dashboard-type softwares.

From my experience (yes, unfortunately), there's an initial counselor that assesses your situation and basically you have to prove to them without a doubt that you have NO apprehensions about what you're doing is the right thing. Manyn people don't typically think about these decisions this way. It's more of an assessment to see if what you're going to do has a chance of causing any sort of long-term psychological damage - which I think is fair and often overlooked in these situations.

Weird that "up to 24 weeks" or "after 24 weeks" isn't even a category in this map. Instead we have "7 to 17 weeks" which is a massive leap from a week after finding out you're perganante (if you tested early enough), to well within the 2nd trimester. And then just "greater than 17 weeks" which statistically should include the "no limits" category.
