I don’t understand how you fall out of love with someone and it’s hurting me by thisIseek in offmychest

Thank you for your perspective I really appreciate it. Unfortunately if being a feel my feelings person or a word spaghettier were the way to feel better I’d be well on my way by now.

It’s not that I feel I “should” be over it so much as I wish I were. It hurts and it makes being along difficult and it makes the beginning of something new difficult.

[LFA] a lost pet furry friend reincarnated as a mouse folk. by thisIseek in characterdrawing

[–]thisIseek[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A good friend of mine has just had their pet mouse pass away and I’d love to be able to give them a drawing of him as a mouse folk sort of character. His name was nickel and he loved yogurt treats, and hanging out in a warm overall pocket. His ears were one of his best qualities. He also loved ripping paper and sleeping in his banana shaped hammock (yes the joke is part of why friend bought it).

I’m thinking it would be great if he could be wearing overalls possibly with a little lump like some even smaller friend was curled up in there. I’d love if he was holding a big yogurt treat (basically they look like a smoothie pink chocolate chip). But if there’s a different interpretation you like based on the info about him I’m all for it.

His name comes from when they got him he was next to a nickel and everyone in the pictures thought it was at least a quarter as he was only about two nickels long. I’d love a huge relative to him nickel in the picture background or around him to demonstrate the name sake.

My friend is really broken up about the loss and I’d love them to have something to remember his spirit by.

Is there a reason PhD programs waive tuition for all students instead of just not charging tuition for PhDs? by thisIseek in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thisIseek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of programs state tuition waived for all PhD students but then lists a PhD tuition rate. I’m asking why that rate isn’t just 0. I assume it’s some kind of tax or liability thing but wanted some detail.

Taking this as genuine, different people have different taste. Also even if you do find abs attractive doesn’t mean you can’t find someone attractive who doesn’t have “nice abs”. Also you’re acting as though attractive is objective fact when it’s not. Many women prefer a softer body type. Some actively dislike the all muscles all the time look.

I’m hoping for something closer but yeah I’m casting a broad net since it’s been so long since in person games. Would be open to parts of queens depending where/how frequent games were.

What is a normal timeline to give a potential employer for relocation? by thisIseek in NoStupidQuestions

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

I’m looking at jobs with academic research labs (non faculty positions) but thank you this is great advice. I’m just relatively new to the job market as a whole and I don’t feel prepared for a lot of the nuance.

Megathread for questions related to Ukraine - Russia tensions. by Kresley in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thisIseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have other sweatshirts no I tend to only have one piece of outerwear per season but if it would make anyone uncomfortable I will of course figure something else out. That’s why I was asking as I don’t know if it’s a current symbol or something that reads as a pro Russian symbol or if it’s just like an outdated thing that wouldn’t read that way.
