  • Aha I will modify my last in that case. No harm no foul, but it's got a little more background in it than necessary if you weren't doubling down lol.

  • I ran a research lab in a university for 15+ years. I guarantee there's no money in it.

    Companies pay pennies on the dollar to research groups to solve problems with undergrads, grad students, and a bit of project manager time and to stay afloat, you have to over-buy projects as favors and to get publications. It is not unusual to run 7 or 8 projects at a time all on shoestring budgets in the lab. With a PhD I never broke 100k.

    Maybe there's some money in the business school, but nobody is getting rich quick for no work in academia.

    Edit: reducing the wall of text

  • Hold my chapstick, I'm going in!

    ... is what I would say if we had a switcheroo community :(

  • I think you've got your adjectives pretty crazily backward about academia.

  • But HOW did they walk? Did they do it brown or immigranty-like?

  • All of this. It should also be said that if you don't understand something in the manual that's ok too, but at least do a quick search to see if you can solve it. You ask when you bottom out, not to skip effort.

    Sometimes you may find that there are 2 or 3 things you could try and you want some help before investing too much more time (as long as you invested some). That's also totally fine to reach out for.

  • I think that depends a lot on how available public transit is where you are.

    I'd happily ride a bus for an hour except the bus lines near me would require 15 to 30 mins of driving, pay for parking, then wait for the line I want which only runs 2 or 3 times a day. OR I could drive direct.

    Planes are the only time a lot of us can reasonably interface with public transit.

    My FIL wanted to go eco for our last trip to visit my BIL and to get from Wilmington to Chicago there was literally ONE train per day that takes over 24 hours to arrive and it left at like 545am? It's totally obnoxious.

  • Idk, Gary, IN isn't that nice tbf.

  • Sarsaparilla in fact.

  • Bout tree fiddy.

  • sudo man sudo

  • I think your heart is in the right place but the practice isn't. People award "stunning and brave" points just for being trans without further effort. Consider Elon's daughter. She has done exactly nothing but people fawn over Vivian. It's Caitlyn Jenner all over again except I feel like Bruce Jenner had negative karma that got erased instead of just getting benefit of the doubt.

    I'm under no delusions about how difficult it is to be a trans person, I have ~5 friends who are trans and it doesn't look easy. They are not in any context getting equal treatment though. They either get treated like something less than or something greater than just for the fact of being trans.

    Functionally trans people are just people and that's the whole point: they are a vast--and equivalent--minority being made a token group by everybody.

  • EVERYONE is too obsessed with trans folks on both sides. There aren't enough people in that bucket to have an ideology against OR build a political identity around. We got bigger fish to fry no matter what side of the aisle you're on. It sounds crass even to say and it doesn't feel like it's the case on Lemmy, but it's true. Less than 3 of 100 people.

  • In murican that sounds odd.

  • Jokes on everyone else, football is cross country running with extra steps.

  • Vim is life. And use good variable names.

  • Alligators.

  • There are only 3 right?

  • Ok that's probably true enough
