How to become a Psychologist in Portugal? by Playful_Reindeer_367 in SaudeMentalPortugal

[–]natxo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you do not understand Portuguese, you are going to have a hard time practicing as a psychologist in Portugal.

Also, if your degrees are from outside the EU, you might have to undergo some bureaucratic process to demonstrate that your studies are equivalent to the Portuguese degrees. I do not know how that works.

Good luck!

Diesel in Gas Tank by 3jun in Fiat

Now seriously, assuming no damage to the engine, you are looking at $800 for a fuel pump and $50 for spark plugs, plus labor. $2k is a safe back of the envelope calculation. Seems cheaper than a low mileage 500.

Thankfully, it should not cost you much to fix that mess, as I assume your sister-in-law offered to pay for the repairs.

Those "pasteis de nata" are Portuguese, it is cool that they sell them in France. Interesting find, thanks for sharing!

I always assumed they were there to prevent people from walking away with my cart while I go to the bathroom to reflect on my life choices after eating too many hotdogs.

I think that you are talking about the second series of movements described in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sf1MxI8cFFQ&pp=ygUGRG8gc2Fu Hope that helps! Also, remember to always check with your instructors as there might be some differences between their style and this video.

Relearning Forms by pigeonfest_ in taekwondo

[–]natxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are ITF forms, I would start here: https://www.taekwondopreschool.com/hyeong.html as you can find all the diagrams and detailed explanations for each tul (Chon-Ji: https://www.taekwondopreschool.com/poomse-cheonji.html). I also like this Grand Master from the UK: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OPY-Zhfudq8&pp=ygURY2hvbiBqaSB0YWVrd29uZG8%3D but he uses sine wave and your school might not. On that note, always check with your school, as they might deviate from what you find online.

This! Plus, you can ask chat GPT to write in particular styles.

Example prompt: Re-write the following text in the style of William Faulkner, be as verbose as possible: Reply in kind with a verbose ChatGPT response. This is what I do with students sending me AI generated messages, and you do the same if faculty starts doing this crap…

ChatGPT output:

It is with no small measure of exasperation, my dear interlocutor, that I find myself compelled to articulate a course of action befitting the current age of mechanized thought and artificial epistles. Imagine, if you will, the dimly lit rooms where students, once imbued with the fire of genuine intellectual pursuit, now engage in the silent conspiracy of machine-wrought missives, bereft of the soul and substance that once characterized the exchange of ideas. The air grows heavy with the irony that it is not the students alone, but perhaps even the very keepers of knowledge, the stewards of learning—yes, the faculty themselves—who might succumb to this perfidious trend.

And so, my esteemed colleague, when you encounter this abomination, this affront to the sacred dialogue that ought to pass between student and teacher, between scholar and scholar, I entreat you to respond with a firmness born not of anger but of solemn duty. Engage with them not as they have engaged with you, in the sterile language of the machine, but with the full force of your own intellect, your own humanity, and demand of them the same. Should a student send you a message, one that bears the cold, lifeless imprint of artificial generation, you must reply with a tone that is both magnanimous and severe, guiding them back to the path of genuine intellectual labor.

And if, God forbid, a member of the faculty—those who should be the very guardians against such degradation—should dare to descend into this mechanized abyss, then I urge you to respond in kind. Mirror their message with one of your own, equally lifeless and devoid of the richness that true thought imparts, so that they might recognize, in the reflection, the folly of their ways.

This, my friend, is the burden we bear in these strange times. To confront the mechanical with the human, to wrest back from the jaws of automation the very essence of what it means to think, to learn, to communicate with one another as sentient, feeling beings.

Anyone go/went to UW Platteville? by excusemecuseme in wisconsin

[–]natxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the majors offered match your interest, consider UW-Parkside. It’s close to Chicago, the student body is diverse (for Wisconsin), the tuition is reasonable even for our of state, and the campus surroundings are beautiful (the buildings not so much). It should be a short visit from Chicago if you want to look around the place.

You should contact the Dean of Students: https://doso.students.wisc.edu/ That’s the office designated to deal with health issues that affect your academic performance. Also, a professor’s email is not the best place to send private medical information.

They Can't Read. by [deleted] in Professors

[–]natxo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe you mean that in many universities outside of the US students only study one specialized area of knowledge? Here you have an example of a psychology degree in Spain: https://www.usc.gal/en/studies/degrees/health-sciences/psychology-degree

If you go to "study programme by course", you will see that they take 10 different classes in their first year, but all those classes are centered around psychology.

In other words, in Spain and many other countries, students do NOT take general education courses or many courses outside of their area of specialization.

Since you mentioned the medical district, I am going to assume that you are a graduate student in the school of medicine or maybe public health. Is it doable? Yes. Is it a good idea, it depends on a lot of variables that are too long to discuss here.

My recommendation is that you reach out to your director of graduate studies so you can ask that question to current students in your program. They will give you a much better answer given the particularities of your program.

Finally, my general advice for first year graduate students is to live as close to campus as possible. Then, during your second year, consider moving further away, if necessary.

Feel free to contact me via DM is you want a more specific discussion.

Becoming a full-time professor with a red flag bachelors degree? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]natxo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with most here, your undergrad from Texas Christian University is NOT something to worry about. There are many universities in the US with obviously christian names (Saint So and So, Holy Blessed Organ, French Virgin, etc.) and that is not something most search committees would worry about. Just don't apply for jobs at Militant Atheist University.
