My dissertation chair did something weird and stupid again today. She wanted to know why I spent two paragraphs discussing and defining stigma. So I said stigma is an important part of the conceptualization for transphobia. Transphobia is the response to the stigma of being transgender. And she said "but you're not measuring stigma, are you? you don't need it" So I explained again why it was necessary, and then explained how the entire body of literature my dissertation is built on is about changing responses to stigma. And she said "I don't understand. You aren't measuring stigma." And I said she was right, I am not measuring stigma. "So why is it in here?" And again, I explained why it was in there. And then she said I should take it out and I got frustrated and explained several more times until I agreed to take it out.

>>652571 Glass bottles are how I've always known maple syrup, hah hah. By now there's a kind of association with the glass bottles being an indicator of goodness for me. That and those plumb bob airtight sealing contraptions.
another thing my dissertation chair does a lot is ask such open questions that i can't even answer them because i don't have any indication of what kind of answer she's looking for, when there's clearly a specific type of answer she wants like "what can you tell from that study" uhh i dunno there is a lot that i can tell from that study, that's not a productive question you can't encourage someone to think critically by pointing to a thousand things and asking what they think if you want them to point out a specific thing
and she'll be going through my paper and say like "what do you mean by 'mere contact', i'm very confused'" and the next sentence will explain exactly what i meant by 'mere contact' and she's confused because she didn't fucking read the next sentence
>>652582 They're pretty much all plastic here! And from, like, New Jersey, lol
Anno
Sounds like those people that get upset at a movie or book because it presents some mystery or hanging concept without going into detail despite it being CLEARLY OBVIOUS that the piece will get around to elaborating or resolving it before it's over.
>>652586 Deshou? It's really frustrating. I don't understand why she does that. She's really bad at providing feedback. I usually just say I understand what she wants when she confuses me because I know she'll forget what she wanted from me anyway, and then I can just do it my way. She has legitimate feedback sometimes. There are times when I don't explain things properly or elaborate enough.
But she also misreads sentences and then accuses me of contradicting myself because of it. So I read it out loud to her and explain why certain words mean things until she knows what I'm saying, and then she tells me it's confusing and I need to change the wording, even when it's abundantly clear.
For example >Broockman and Kalla (2016) did not see a greater change in attitude in voters who talked to a transgender canvasser.
My chair read this and said "but you JUST said they did see a change in attitude." Even though that sentence clearly doesn't say anything contradictory. In the context of the paragraph, it's clear that a transgender canvasser or a non-trans canvasser was used. It's explicitly explained. In light of that information, that sentence obviously is comparing the effect of talking to a transgender canvasser vs a non-trans canvasser.
Anno
So just before that sentence you are not referencing anything concerning change in attitude?
Prior to that sentence, I discuss the methodology used in the study, talk about how there were two types of canvasser, and then I said they found changes in attitudes due to the canvassing. Following that, I say they didn't find a greater change in attitude in voters who talked to a transgender canvasser.
The obvious implication is that this sentence is referring to the fact that there wasn't a greater change in attitudes for transgender canvassers compared to non-transgender canvassers.
In fact, this entire description and discussion of the study is part of a section where I'm discussing a theory that predicts there should be a greater effect. Immediately after the sentence in question, I discuss reasons why they may have not found the greater effect that the theory predicted.
Anno
Hm, would it be proper to lead the sentence you quoted above with a "However" or something similar. I think the hang up is that you mention changes -were- found, which, at least as a layman reader, sets me up for you to start discussing the changes in question. Which as far as I can tell, you don't, and transition into the sentence you quoted. Now I'm confident enough in my reading comprehension to not misunderstand that, but it does feel a little sharp a turn. Assuming my understanding of the passage is correct.
Originally, the sentence in question started with "Interestingly," but my chair god rid /// got rid of that. The changes have already been discussed. The change is just "Positivity towards transgender people was measured with a feeling thermometer." and when I say there were changes, I again say that the change was an increase in positivity. I do think starting with "However" or something similar is a good idea, but my chair disagrees.
If it were only this one instance, I would be convinced that it truly was my fault and that I was unclear, but she does it frequently with all kinds of sentences and topics. She just consistently fails to read things. When I have other people read it, they usually understand it, because they're not misreading it. There are definitely times when I can be more clear, but I'm usually clear enough that my colleagues or Fish are able to understand it without any difficulty.
It would be one thing if she just wanted me to improve the clarity. If she just said she wanted me to be more clear, that would be fine, and I would figure out how to do that. But she's basically just accusing me of contradicting myself because she isn't reading it properly.
One time she made me move a section I wrote to somewhere it seemed to make more sense organizationally. It was a reasonable edit. Ten minutes later, she's reading again, and she gets confused and she asks me why the information in that section we just moved wasn't there to give context to what she was just reading. So I said we just moved that information to a place it seemed to fit better, in the background. And she accused me once again of not having that information. So I showed her again where we just moved that information. And then she said "I don't like that." and moved it back and then carried on like it was my fault somehow. It's so frustrating to be blamed for someone else's brain problems.
Anno
Yeah, I remember that story, or one very similar to it. Which I guess goes to show how pervasive a problem it is.
She was also 30 minutes late for our meeting today. No text, no email, nothing.
Also, she didn't bring the edits she did on the draft I sent her January 30th. So she said "Send me your latest draft now and we'll start from the beginning." Which suggests to me that in more than a month, she probably didn't read my draft at all. Otherwise, why would she waste hours upon hours going over something she'd already gone over? We worked together on my dissertation from 8:30 until 2:00. And she didn't even get through to the end of my introduction. Am I really supposed to believe she's doing literally the same exact work she's already done? It doesn't make sense. If she'd been returning edited drafts to me regularly, I would be done by now, I'm sure. But no, every time I send her a draft, she takes two months to get through it.
As an aside, she's also one of those professors on that panel of professors who are supposed to be overseeing my "remediation" and the "improvement of my time management techniques".
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>5 million damage charge attacks COME TO ME NIER
Anno
>>652595 >Improving time management techniques >Shows up thirty minutes late Seems good.
Is yours the only dissertation she's responsible for chairing?
>>652597 The whole panel of people remediating me are like that. The last time we had a meeting, I emailed them the first week of the semester, which was the second week of January, to set up the meeting they wanted to have in February. They decided on a date and time (without asking me my availability) it was the first week of February. They had three weeks to get together. A week before the meeting, I sent them materials they asked for, which included documentation of my time management and a list of times I consulted with supervisors. I arrive to the meeting five minutes early and I'm the only one there. The person in charge of that panel shows up a minute late and asks me if I'll go wait in the lobby for a little bit, because the three professors haven't sat down to discuss me together, nor have they gone over the materials I sent them. So I go and I wait. The second professor is five minutes late (my dissertation chair). After eight minutes of waiting, the third professor walks up to me in the lobby and asks me where we're meeting.
The whole thing is so ridiculous that I have to laugh at it. It's such a cruel joke that these people are supposed to oversee me "improve my time management."
She's chairing one other person, but she's even less responsive when it comes to her.
Yeah that's pretty absurd. I guess they're all long past the point where them needing good time management is actually necessary so it all looks like they're probably good enough by lack of necessity.
>>652600 Yeah. That panel used to be run by my favorite professor who works really hard to understand people he's working with and to help them identify obstacles and stuff. He helped me discover how self-destructive I was and start choosing to make more positive choices. But he had a knee surgery that resulted in complications that removed him from school for last semester so someone else started to chair that panel.
But on the bright side, that panel seems to have a good impression of my so-called remediation because the people who were sabotaging me no longer have an outlet with which to do so.
>>652601 Well, today's frustration is with my dissertation chair, which I guess counts as school frustration. How are you today? I'm actually in a really good mood.
The longer days are good for me now since I work until 7 or 8 a few times a week. I usually don't like it very much at all.
My sleep has been bad, though.

It was pleasant enough today that I could enjoyably walk up to the subway station I change directions at rather than just hop on the subway right after class was over. I can't wait for the actually warm weather though.
I've thought this season was better than the first one all along. But both seasons need to be together. This season wouldn't be very good without the first one.
Seeing Mob growing up and coming into his own is really wonderful. It's made me so happy.
I don't think the beginning of this season was as good as the final arc of the last season where they're fighting other espers and Mob powers up Reigen. But lately it's been pretty good.
Isn't it normal that the beginning of a season isn't as exciting and high tension as the end of a season? It's kind of weird to compare it like that.
Anno
I loved the bit from this season where he got mind-eaten by the super-esper possessing the girl. It was a really good story arc. Mob finally standing up to Reigen was a blast too.
i decided i'm gonna get sekiro instead of DMC5 i'll get DMC5 eventually i'm sure but i'm way more interested in sekiro
Anno
From what I've heard DMC5 is an excellent DMC game. Which for long-time fans of the series is probably great news. But my experience with the game is watching a friend play for maybe an hour, hah hah. Er, my experience with the series. So I dunno, I might give it a shot eventually but I'm in no rush.
I recommend it! But I think it would be better if it were belgian chocolate, caramel, and vanilla, maybe. Daburu chocolate doesn't add a lot to the flavor.
Anno
You need chocolates with strong contrasts for it to really work. Something like a sweet, milder milky chocolate for the ice cream and then some intense dark chocolate for the little bits mixed in. Plus dark chocolate and salted caramel are also a super high-level pairing by themselves so it's win-win.
Have you tried Mayan chocolate ice cream? I think it's my favorite kind of chocolate ice cream.
Anno
I don't believe I have. I do think when I was in early high-school as part of a world history project someoen -someone in my class brought in this traditional Mesoamerican , might've been Mayan, hot drink prepared with cocoa. It wasn't very chocolate-y at all, definitely more of a bitter drink that probably took more from the less-sweet parts of the cacao plant. I didn't really like it very much at the time, I wonder how I'd feel about it now though,.

My school email forces me to change my password every 180 days. It's really ridiculous. And you can't use passwords that are similar to any of the previous passwords.
I've had this account since 2013! How many passwords do they think I have?!
In the end, I basically started using Stand names and a series of numbers and symbols I chose at random. But it's hard to keep track of which ones I've already used, you know? It took me like seven tries to come up with a new password today when I had to change it.
Anno
I had to do something similar when I worked that bank office job. I had similar issues even though I only worked like ten months, hah hah. By the last one or two times I had to change I was getting annoyed I'd have a hard time even remembering what the password was.
At least my university doesn't pull that on me, though they -have- made it really, really hard for me to change my password from what it currently is. Which is kind of a pain since in a flash of temper I made up my current password as a really annoying one to type in, especially on mobile, which I access it a lot on at school with.
Anno
>>652644 one of my previous jobs made me do that pretty annoying
My school email isn't even HIPAA compliant. It's not secure. There's no chance of sensitive information being in it. There's no reason to make us change the password so often.
>>652645 It's weird to make it hard to change your password. Nani sore.

Yesterday in my Death & Dying class, we were talking about times when we lost someone, and what we felt. So I was explaining how Teacup died, kind of. I said we were on a run, and my professor looks at me, seemingly confused, and he's like "a run?" And I was telling the story emotionally so I was a little more rigid than usual and couldn't think of a good way to explain it and I said "uhh, with our legs" It ended up being kind of funny.

• The story is from CHINA and is not an Arabian tale. • She has a tiger named Rajah - it has an Indian name and Tigers are found in INDIA and don’t exist in the desert. • Another animal pet in the movie is a Scarlet Macaw - only indigenous to MEXICO and SOUTH-AMERICA. • The location in the movie is this placed called Agrabah — influenced from Agra in India where the Taj Mahal is located. Does not matter what influenced the Taj Mahal in India but an actual place in Turkey would have been more suitable to the movie theme. • The movie has elephant & elephant statues and carvings — elephants do not exist in bare desert, elephants exist in India. • Jasmine’s look can be confusing as she has tanned skin and hair that looks like an average Indian girls - it is braided, thick, black and long. • Her name is Jasmine ( prominent flower & not uncommon name used in India), Yasmin(e) would’ve been the Arabian alternate since Aladdin has an “ethnic” name.
A dress of hers had a peacock theme, while in this song peacocks surround her; once again these birds, elephants and tigers are not indigenous to the Middle East. These animals are indigenous to India with it’s tropical climates and jungles. Despite this confusion, the Disney film takes place in Turkey so she was depicted to be from Turkey.

Oh I hadn't heard about that at all. That's pretty surprising.
that's pretty great dorohedoro was well received within the magazine but it wasn't a real top line magazine to begin with and q didn't plan on having the series run long enough to completion, and then the magazine ending its run too i guess things got shuffled around i hope it's handled delicately dorohedoro anime could be incredible or cringey depending on production

The backlash on internet was amusing, with everyone replacing periods in sentences with Whisky for several weeks
but yeah, severalc ompanies both finnish and foreign did try to advertise in social media for a while, but then legislation hit them eventually.
Another fun example was, when a brewery was forced to remove a giant beer can prop from their premises, after it having been there for 50+ years because same RAO decided it was "advertising beer"

i think vape cigarettes were allowed for a while and then it stopped maybe it didnt stop idk
vape was fine here, but then state realised it isn't being taxed properly and then slammed it with taxes, and suddenly vaping practically vanished from finland too expensive for consumers and too expensive to found vape-stores I know of only one vape store in whole of finland
you wouldn't know it was one, since it is just a storefront where all the windows are taped over with white tapes and only a small text on the door reads "electric cigarette store"
vape gets a lot of shit but honestly it's handy to have if you dont want smoke in your home and it's cold outside it smells better and you dont have to sit down and have a whole cigarette at once i dont have an e-cig though
I kinda understand the EU point to it, for once atleast, that it is "untested" so we don't really know the health impact yet, but... Taxing or super high regulating it won't do anything and besides, it is just fucking breathing vapour breathing hot water vapour with herbs has been a finnish folk remedy for ages and sauna, as in hot vapour bathing, has been a thing for aeons
So what exactly are the "unknown health risks" here? >you use nictoine vape well we know what that does >you use X vape well we know what X does
So the whole argument falls apart with a mere glance from a layman like moi, leaving behind only the obvious answer WE MUST TAX IT FUR MUNEYS >>653170 also it doesn't annoy others with the smoke and avoids second hand smoking completely
and doesn't involve the user inhaling tar, carbon monoxide and so on >you can get in trouble for saying it avoids second hand smoke (as a company or advertisement) >can't say for sure it has no second hand effect so Yeah you can't advertise this, but there be no smoke... and whatever vapour comes out of the user, will mostl ikely have so tiny amounts of whatever the person is vaping for it to take effect
and also it is just vapour... Fucking basic city air is more toxic than that
All I see in the pushback against electric cigarettes is big corporations panicking about losing profits instead of wanting to change their ways and government seeing a potential source of revenue + lobbying ofc
Reminds me of the good old question, why aren't big car companies making say electric cars or the other instead of pushing back against them future proofing and investing in new tech and adapting to the times are much more profitable in short and long term than using money to curb said things. Afterall inevitably someone will make that product that will make yours useless or out of date and then what? You spend large amounts of money to fight against it, that you could have used to actually develop your own version of it or even buy the smaller enterpeuers and integrated them into your corporation and would now be profiting out of the new shit.
Makes me wonder about the business magnates, when some layman can think of such things and why they make sense and they don't seem to
月
you can get in trouble for saying it avoids second hand smoke (as a company or advertisement) can't say for sure it has no second hand effect so
i dont care at all about the health effects though, i already smoke i just want something that's more convenient and doesn't stink like shit and ruin clothes/walls/furniture
I wonder if they plan to improve the in-game database for stuff like geological information. The game -can- be played entirely from the information it gives you inside the game, but pretty much everyone that plays (including ToadyOne and his brother) just use the wiki to figure out what metals form in which rock type and whatnot. Which is fine for a game with the culture and like of Dwarf Fortress so far but if they're looking to make it a sellable product they should really make that kind of information should be accessible without going to third-party resources.
>>653194 It seems that the only reason they're making this special audio and tileset version is to raise money for medical expenses that one of the Adams brothers incurred.

i like how shenzhen io and that bomb defusal game have separate print-out reference manuals instead of in-game instructions it feels really real

FormerRei@mobile
>>653201 Because I have a lot of anxiety and most of it isn't rational.
one of my clients asked me if it would be crazy to hide a camera in her house to monitor her boyfriend while she's in jail for two weeks i said it wasn't, and there are probably some more productive ways to feel comfortable while she's away
i think she ultimately decided to go for the camera though
i didn't tell her not to do it i even helped her figure out how she could do it but i wanted her to think of some other solutions as well she only came up with "deal with it" other than the camera but that's okay, we have time to work it out and if she goes with the camera we'll just have to hope it doesn't backfire
we're going to work on some coping skills either way though it was a really productive session, i felt

>>653226 >Regional infamous celebrity buys a slave and goes on to make a name for himself >Slave dealer does not receive a boost in business due to association The kingdom Shielddad takes place in is a garbage place for engaging in slave trade yeah but that's a different argument than the economical market OPERATING AS IT REALISTICALLY WOULD.
Anno
A better argument here is that the only character who seems to take an oppository stance against the practice of slave trade in the series is the Spear Hero who for all intents and purposes is a butt monkey to be made fun of . And that the series is awfully dismissive of the horrible nature of slavery and the way it continually traps the preyed upon peoples in its system.

My DRP chair wants me to spend my entire day with her again tomorrow, working on edits. She wants me to meet with her 8:30-12, and then 3-7. Bakabakashii. Maybe I'll make up an excuse to leave early. I can't do a lot of writing if I'm with her, and there's only so much we can actually work on together. Plus, a three hour break? What's with that? She'll probably tell me to go work on my dissertation during it.
As if I can spend 12 hours straight working on doctoral level writing. As if anyone can.
The pacing in Kakegurui is so cruel. The new gamburu always starts in the middle of the episode and goes on into the next episode. It makes you feel like the episode hasn't started until it's halfway through!

We're celebrating St. Patrick's Day here with some lamb chops and mashed potatoes. ... Greek-style lamb chops, but lamb chops nonetheless. I didn't know lamb was a big thing for the Irish though.
I got an interesting confession from some anonymous person. "I have paid to have sex with women in multiple occasions as a means of harming myself and I feel like it is a border I can never uncross. I hate myself" And then a second one, "The first one was out of heartbreak, the next were out of sheer disgust with myself"
People really are the best
Anno
It's interesting that they can associate sex like that with harm.
I agree. I'd like to be able to talk to them about it. It sounds like perhaps they don't associate sex with harm, but paying for sex, though. It sounds like they did it as an act of self-humiliation and then they felt so humiliated by it that they became disgusted with themselves and punished themselves further by doing it again and again.
There's really no way for me to know, though. Maybe they see it as punishment because they asked the sex worker to do something weird to them, and that's also why they're disgusted.
It's interesting that they confessed it to me, too. They confessed it to me on my CuriousCat, which is a place you can anonymously submit questions which can be answered publicly on Twitter. Did they want me to answer it publicly as a way to humiliate themselves further? Did they want me to offer words of consolation? Did they just want to tell someone, anyone, and didn't care what happens after it's out there?
I want to know
Anno
I could see it as them seeing it as the most obvious avenue of getting anonymous ... not quite advice, but commentary, maybe, from you. Kind of like consolation as you said but not necessarily so kind.
Oh gosh those are cute phone cases. I kind of want one.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
Deshou? It's too bad they're only for iPhones.
Anno
Well whichever they're designed for is less important than the actual measurements. It is true that since they're not designed for other phones, they might not fit properly, but phones these days are pretty close in terms of size and thickness that there's a decent chance it might fit other phones well enough.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
Hmm, I guess that's true.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
yeah it sure does suck to not have an iphone ...wait x
It seems I have a reputation for by cynical, though.
I was telling a colleague that one of my supervisors told me I'm too preoccupied with seeing the good in people and it makes it so I won't admit some people are bad, and my colleague thought that was weird because she couldn't imagine me being like that, I guess. And yesterday, I was explaining a // explaining a client's story about why they came to treatment, and I ended with "That's their story, anyway" after kind of skipping over some stuff about how she wanted to get treatment to be a better mother. Getting substance abuse treatment is kind of the stereotypical story, so I just sort of yada yada yada'd it. But then my supervisor laughed and said I was a cynic like her. But all I was saying is that I can't know for sure the client's story was true. I wasn't exactly doubting it.
Do you think so? I don't really think those people are naturally evil or anything. I just think the systems they're part of coerce them into behaving in ways that are harmful to me.
fuuck I didn't realise this doctor doesn't do bulk billing plus I think I missed out on an electoral thing so that's probably another fifty dollarydoos
>new ticket reform >they said it will make travel cheaper 1) they increased all ticket prices 2) they didn't make it cheaper for ANYONE 3) it still shits on the metropolitan outskirt inhabitants compared to the rest so 3 points it was supposed to rectify and failed at sasuga finnish bureaucracy
and of c the richest areas of the city, that previously paid "inter-city" prices to get to the city centre now pay the same as people living within helsinki borders
I kind of expected as much. I felt they really botched the first series. At least, towards the end, it stopped being interesting. They probably lost a lot of sales.
but anyhpw Wit does attack on eoten, did magus bride and have vinland saga coming up next is not like one not that big of a success wpuld hurt them kabaneri anyhow aöready got the 2 recaps of the tv series movies so... it can't be that unprofitable ip
Every Frame A Picture did a decent video essay on why a lot of the MCU movies are kind of bland in their music composition. >>>/watch?v=7vfqkvwW2fs

I've got a lot of free time today because of my class only being an hour long. And I have a coupon that might still be good for tickets and refreshments for two for one movie. There's a theatre close by so maybe I'll pop in and see if I can watch it.
my dissertation chair wanted me to work on my dissertation with her from 8:30-12 and 3-7 today but then at 11:30 at night that dumb bitch sent me five text messages canceling our meeting this morning it fuckin woke me up

I fucking fortgot to add the fucking cheesespread inside them oh well I can just add that post

The coupon I had for a discount admission was also good for two drinks and a popcorn. I told the guy at the cash I didn't need two drinks and I only had two hands to hold a single drink and popcorn anyway. And then he just pulls out a tray for me, hah hah.
Also the seating I could get was for the VIP seating so I could have been buying some hard drinks. Don't have that kind of money though. These seats are hella roomy though.

i wrote a long math thing about computational time of verifying a certain problem in one way and went in depth about the possibilities within that space, acknowledging that this method of verification is obsolete, but accessible, so serving as a framework for understanding what the accessible methods are for homebrewed content
i waited around for people who are higher level math than me to read it, kind of nervous and now the only response to it was about how there are already much more efficient methods using prepopulation so worrying about optimization is a waste i feel like the whole point was missed

I woke up before any of my alarms what the heck that does seem like a bit of a awkward position I guess if they all seem to focus on that initial response you might have to go into detail on what you were trying to show

good morning jan

Captain Marvel was a blast. Wouldn't say it's particularly divergent from the atypical superhero origin movie but there's a lot of small things it does that made it a lot of fun to watch. The characters are really compelling and Larson is a kickass Carol. Seeing a not-entirely-cynical Fury was great too.
The Marvel Studios lead-in at the start of the movie was entirely a tribute to Spike Lee too.
>>653596 no point now it's like if you tell a joke in the middle of a conversation and nobody really catches it, it just flies under the radar a bit, and then they move on to the next tangent you can't be like "wait you missed what i meant, see" that gets gross
