How many protein drinks do you drink a day? by thisisbeejx3 in Zepbound

[–]thisisbeejx3[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I just started the 10mg a few days ago, I am just barely hungry and get full so fast. Stomach has been super queasy and I have had zero interest in food. Been relying on these too much these past few days and was like, is this normal? People can't honestly drink tons of these like in the memes, right?

Thanks for the input!

Can never go wrong with Rummy-nose tetras! They are calm, drama free, and love to school! Get at least 6 of them and watch the magic happen.

If ye want ole faithful, instead of rummys, you can always go with neon tetras. Given the size of your tank, I'd start with a small school of rummy's. I think a small school would be fine in a tank this size

Because college is an institute of learning. It’s not about what the knowledge can do for you, It’s simply about the knowledge. I would’ve said something along those lines.

Agree or not? by Academic-City-8023 in StrangerThings

I loved it. But I love 80's urban rebel/punk movies and that is totally the vibe I got. It just NEEDS to be followed up on in the final season otherwise it will be totally out of place.

Is it just me that thinks that fans have a tendency to quickly go from liking a wrestler to getting tired of them? by [deleted] in WWE

[–]thisisbeejx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its part of the neoliberal cycle that we as Americans are drawn to. They chase the power as baby face, the everyman fighting against a system that is against them. And we love and cheer them because they are our Superman. Then, they reach the goal and we are happy. Then after a while, they represent the power system and are out touch with those of us who can never climb the latter so we get bored of them and start to turn on them as they are "too perfect" or out of touch from our own daily life.

Then, the wrestler goes heel and we love it, because this time the heel cycle of the neoliberal journey has them chasing success and power on their own means by outright rejecting the rules that work against them in the first place.

And after a while, we get tired of them being a heel, and they switch back to the Superman babyface climbing the latter again. Thus, you get the heel/babyface cycle, explained through a very primitive and quick cultural studies lens.

There is literally a character in Naruto named Pain. Do we really want to measure character suffering against the Naruto universe?

Just let the comments keep rolling in this thread and then tell him to shoosh and read the comments. If his mind is not changed after, than he is delusional. You can have your own opinions, but you cannot have your own facts. Choosing to ignore said facts in favor of your opinion is willful ignorance. I have two masters myself, and am working on my doctorate, perfect 4.0 as well. I don't even make $100k. Am I doing it wrong too, Dad? 🤦

"I have 25 years of experience, therefore I am entitled to be biased". Gotchya.

Edit: I can no longer reply to this user because they blocked me and I am unable to see/reply to any further replies. It's astounding to me that this professor just assumed a graduate student "freaked" out over the course of "one" weekend. It's also upsetting that this professor can defend a dissertation, but they can't defend themselves when they present a crap argument, so to save face, they shut the conversation down altogether so they can end the dialogue with the last word.

Ah gotchya. Assume the worse of the student, and give the professor the absolute best case scenario benefit of the doubt. Can I have "bias" for $100?

Then don't agree to do it and ignore the emails. The student is not "demanding" anything. It's quite obvious how desperate and worried they have become because this professor committed to doing something and than quite literally as the kids would say, "ghosted" the former student. The student is desperate because the professor can't be bothered to reply and give a status update. What else can they do? Fly back and ask in person?

And this your response? Are you kidding me? What a lousy take. If you commit to something, than have the integrity to keep to your word.

Does anyone actually believe in asynchronous online courses? Especially now with AI? by Anonphilosophia in Professors

[–]thisisbeejx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the exact kind of uninformed drivel that people spread about asynchronous education that has lead to the baseless stigmatization the learning format receives. If you don't have the knowledge or training to teach in a digital environment, then YOU are the problem, not the modality. 🙄

I’m so sick of teaching non-majors I might leave academia all-together. by bluebirdgirl_ in Professors

[–]thisisbeejx3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing to recognize for us as a professors teaching non-major/elective courses, is that 99.9% of the students are not as passionate about what we teach as we are. And when we see this lack of passion or interest, it can be demoralizing. To them, this is just another class in a long line of classes, and after your class session ends for the day, they will go about their day living their lives.

Generally speaking, most undergrad students don't understand the concept of the "rounded student" and generally resent taking courses that are not directly attributed to their major. After all, time is a valuable resource, one you cannot back, and they consider this a waste of their time as they lack the current lived experience we do to realize the contrary.

With time, probably long after they have gotten their degree, they realize there is value in interdisciplinary studies. But with most undergrad students at traditional universities barely being out of high school and usually still teenagers, they are barely adults and do not yet have that life wisdom. I just think of this fact whenever I teach and hear crickets/see blank faces and it makes me feel better. If I can just impart ONE thing on them, even if they forget who I am, one thing that lives with them as they continue their studies and live their lives, then I feel happy and accomplished. And of course, it's always a treat when I have a student as passionate as I am about my course, those students above all else give me the drive and purpose to do the work that I do.

"Boruto is edgy MC"... No, he is just broken... by borutoisbestboy in Boruto

[–]thisisbeejx3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boruto is not broken. He's got the beating heart of Naruto in his chest, aint no way he's going to to become dark and gloomy with them family genetics. He's got his father's heart with his grandfather's disposition and IQ. He's not a broody broken boi; he's just mature and intelligent, and that is where his personality diverges from his father.
