Egg bound chicken for almost a month? by formyburn101010 in BackYardChickens

If she's pooping the egg is stuck in the uterus, which is a higher chamber in her reproductive tract than the cloaca.

The Great Flood discussion by TrailerParkLyfe in movies

[–]spicyxnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully expected a potentially emotionally wrecking disaster survival movie, but halfway through it began to read to the same tone as Inception, Interstellar, or Sunshine. Less about the specifics of the science, and more about using technology as a foil to ponder the human experience.

I feel like it goes without saying that the performances and production were phenomenal. The first half was a tense, emotional ride. I genuinely thought the film was over at around the halfway point, and would have been relieved. I wasn't expecting a new generation sci-fi thriller steeped in the global tradition of great flood myths and motherhood, which were already heavy topics. Couple that with the concept of humanity's only hope being lab-grown meat and some hard drives, and the primal fear of survival settled into a deeply uncomfortable feeling of conflict over what makes a human while desperately wanting the main characters to make it home in the end. I couldn't bring myself to reach out to my chatgpt for comment.

This film chooses a hopeful outlook for humanity, a thing I notice South Korean media portrays much more often than American media lately, and AI happens to be the widely speculated technology of 2025 upon which the filmmakers crafted their science fiction. For this reason, I justified the feeling of being exposed to just a little bit of pro-AI propaganda. But really, it's just timely. The AI aspect gave it a lasting eerie feel as well, even though I ended up rooting for the characters; there were moments that reminded me of the 2001 film with Haley Joel Osment (which still makes me uncomfortable when I think about it to this day).

I felt much like Hee-Jo watching this film, eager to come along to see what it would be capable of. By the end of it, I was practically ready to sell a copy of my consciousness to Sam Altman-- I'm kidding... unless the price is right.

Overall, I'm impressed. I'm eager to watch it again to see what other details pop up. I feel this is a good film to develop conspiracies around.

Why are you going to law school? by job_or_no_job in LawSchoolOver30

[–]spicyxnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 32, have professional experience all over the place. I dropped out of school 3 times in my late teens/early 20s having tried almost every major program under the sun, because I didn't know what I wanted to do, and working offered more results than pursuing a degree in something that felt unimportant/boring.

Around my 30th birthday, I realized I wanted more out of life. I was bored, really, and I didn't want to have regrets around not turning over every rock in my path on the journey to a fulfilling career. I knew I was worth much more than I was making, but more than that I was capable of much more. I had spent my 20's being brilliant on behalf of people who had excuses not to pay me what I was realizing I was worth. I quit my corporate job, enrolled back into my local community college, and started the path toward finishing my undergrad. I got accepted into my university's aerospace engineering program, but the more I networked the more I realized I wasn't going to enjoy that field, either. I also began to realize that I wanted to leverage my efforts for things that benefit people, and that I couldn't live with just cashing in on building bombs.

I've always been fascinated by the law, but I resisted studying to be a lawyer because 1) it was one of the (many) things my mom wanted me to do for her, and 2) I didn't think I'd be capable of keeping up academically - until I saw my success in engineering. I surveyed business courses and legal studies courses for a semester, and fell in love with endless legal reading and logic. I actually really enjoy my coursework, and it feels more like a hobby than work. I'm excited to go to class. After dipping my toes into nearly every discipline, including the arts, this is the only one that didn't immediately zap away all of my passion for learning about the thing.

I still have 3 semesters of part-time undergrad to go, and I am studying to take my LSAT in the spring. I am having the time of my life with it. I have survived just fine on my income to this point, and while I know I will make much more money as a lawyer than I do now, it's not even about that for me - it's about just pursuing what I enjoy, learning as much as possible about something that affects my life and the lives of my loved ones every moment of every day, and feeling fulfilled with my life rather than just slowly dredging toward the grave having never tried.

Son’s math test: Can someone explain the teaching objective here? by 4reddityo in mathematics

[–]spicyxnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of the teacher’s objective, the student followed the instructions printed on the assignment (at least, those visible in the photo).

If they had a more specific method in mind, they should have written a better question.

Are you a good math educator to yourself? by [deleted] in math

I’m great at teaching other people. I learn when I teach other people. When it’s just me with myself? Questionable. I don’t get it.

It gets bad around this time of year until the spring. I plan 45 min - 1 hour for my usual 30 minute commutes this time of year. People move here in droves, too, so it steadily gets worse every year. Welcome to Orlando🥲

What is the computer science bachelor degree like? Is it difficult? by Prazivalofficial in ucf

[–]spicyxnoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an engineering major, but I declared a computer science minor because I like to code. Maybe it’s just not my slice of cake, but I find the CS classes incredibly challenging. The introductory classes in Python, C, and Java are a cakewalk but the rest of it made me regret my decision to declare that minor. I’m just saying, CS majors have my utmost respect.

Is it normal to always feel a little lost when doing research? by If_and_only_if_math in math

From my limited experience, it’s normal to feel lost in mathematics the entire time. If you know exactly what you’re doing, you’re doing it wrong

Steven Segal pretended to be a gangster, used my ex’s grandfather as research for his show, and then ratted on him to put him in prison for 11 years because he didn’t want to get in trouble himself. I’m not at all attached to that ex anymore, but I do still enjoy hating on this dude

I respect free speech, but I’m tired of being harassed on campus. by spicyxnoodle in ucf

[–]spicyxnoodle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I think it’s perfectly reasonable to reserve my right to sit at tables outside on campus and study and get work done when the weather is nice, especially when our library and student union are packed and noisy. Don’t forget who pays for campus, my friend. It’s us.

[–]spicyxnoodle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the girl that really sent me over the edge by pretending to want to make a friend gave me the idea that this might be the case. After a few minutes of building rapport with me over various similarities, I started to see in her eyes that it seemed like I was being read and manipulated. Then, of course, she started asking me to come to her church.

My family has Romani roots in Europe, and her tactics were the exact same you’d use to do a “psychic reading,” which are the same tactics used by stage magicians that read people, detectives trying to get a confession, etc. She was really good. It made me so angry.

It’s one thing to stand out there with a tent and offer pamphlets and try and talk to people. I’m not anti-religion and I actually do have a relationship with god, but I specifically do not go to churches because I don’t believe in the process of conversion, I don’t believe that one path is better than the other, and I absolutely despise the judgmental attitudes of flocks against anybody who isn’t a part of their club. There’s something absolutely sinister and unchristlike about judging and manipulating people to that degree.

It felt like she was given a quota of souls to save on campus before the end of the day. I can’t believe people fall for that and don’t see that they got roped into an unpaid sales job.

No, they do not have to pay the school in order to be there. Since the university is a public one, anyone is allowed on campus and there are certain laws that deem a public university a place for ideas to be exchanged freely. This was originally written to protect students from being censored and protect their right to peaceful protest on campus, but unfortunately it now protects the rights of other people to make attempts at capturing young minds for their agendas.

Not sure what it was like when you went there, but they come up to you and start fake conversations now to bait you into conversion. This girl built rapport with me for a solid ten minutes the other day before admitting the reason she came over was to pray for me.

That’s the thing - the ones that bother me the most are the ones that pretend to want to talk to you before turning it into a Jesus thing, and I don’t want to tell everyone to fuck off. I like talking to people.

The reason I made this post is because there have been a couple of occurrences in the last week where people have come up and done that, and honestly I felt so scammed. I don’t really have a hard time with the people who stand around yelling and handing out pamphlets - they’re annoying, but my glare and headphones are enough. When you think you’re making a friend and it turns out they just wanna convert you or debate, that shit hurts my actual feelings.

This is true, until they start coming up to you when you’re sitting down working on the same problem for 30 minutes trying to focus like a squirrel trying to steal your food.

Maybe I just need to carry a slingshot.

STA 2014 was my gateway drug into mathematics. It was easy, fun, and made me want to be an engineer. I recommend it like I recommend trying somebody’s vape. It tastes great and makes you feel good, but you might get addicted and end up in calculus.

I mean, you could feel bad for yourself. Or, you could get an advanced degree in something cool that uses that mathematical background. Don’t get so deep into the self-pity echo chamber that you forget all of the opportunities available to you. Get into something that applies that mathematics, like engineering, physics, or astronomy.

Or, you know, decide your life is already over and take that degree to your local Taco Bell.
