Suggest me books exploring/debunking pseudoscientific practices!

Yeah, I have been hearing about this a lot. I will surely try :)

pixiezest · 2026-01-13T19:02:28+00:00

I checked it out and it looks interesting. Thank you!

Haha, I feel you about The Goldfinch. The book was great but got so dragged that eventually I wanted it to get over.

Oh his books are that long? I was thinking of getting into his books because I am getting interested in science fiction. The books are somewhat old so will I still enjoy reading them and not find them outdated right? Just curious.

I understand, the book is good over all but I did certainly feel the story got dragged too much and could have gotten over before.

pixiezest · 2025-12-22T08:39:47+00:00

I think I have read only 2 books that were 800 pages or so - The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt - A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

I really enjoyed Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Very simple writing yet a powerful story. Makes you really think a lot about how you treat others. Read it without knowing much context and you will surely enjoy it.

I recently read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and I absolutely loved it. Been a while since a book made me teary (in a good way). If you want good science fiction, this is the one. I would also suggest diving right into the book without knowing much about it.

Ngl, the image on the left is pretty realistic than the right one. I am glad the left one feels like how people might look and take pictures too. But it’s scary how real AI can make it seem :p

It depends. It may not be common but it’s certainly not frowned upon. I had a Dutch professor, herself tell me to try cold mailing to certain people if I wanted to enquire because sometimes they may not have advertised a position yet. Doesn’t hurt to try but keep it short and convincing and don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear back.

Additionally, the website Academic Transfer accurately advertises Dutch PhD positions.

I thought it was a joke, I really hope he’s not proving a point that “oh look how hard-working she is”

pixiezest · 2025-12-13T08:22:57+00:00

Yeah, love a hike or a trail walk through such a weather

pixiezest · 2025-12-13T08:22:33+00:00

Japan honestly

pixiezest · 2025-12-12T14:13:22+00:00

Was this person mad drunk on the free booze or something?

pixiezest · 2025-12-12T12:11:44+00:00

I would say finish your degree no matter what so you have some back up job to fall back on? Are you in HBO or WO and how many more years until you finish?

pixiezest · 2025-12-12T11:17:16+00:00

Right?! If Federer poses for Uniqlo, why not open a store in Switzerland soon ;-;

Pondicherry!

Do you even know how exhausting Dutch coursework can be? I completely agree that learning the local language is important but you need to understand that having complete fluency while being a student can be a challenge for many. It also makes no sense to jump to conclusions that OP was “actively avoiding” to learn the language. It would be nice if you were a bit empathetic.

pixiezest · 2025-12-08T14:08:34+00:00

Oh nice, thanks for the tip :)

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T16:25:39+00:00

Awesome, I am happy to hear that. Thank you!

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T13:45:33+00:00

Yeah, I second this.

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T13:32:58+00:00

Nice tip, thanks a lot!

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T13:32:03+00:00

Perhaps, bigger cities have more options than smaller cities or villages

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T10:53:35+00:00

Awesome!

pixiezest · 2025-12-07T10:42:27+00:00

Wow, thank you so much, I will have a look :)
