I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

i think everyone should use yyyy-mm-dd

mourning that as a STEM student I never got to take the Be A Good Person class that's part of every mandatory humanities track and so I'll never be able to be as moral as a philosophy major like Peter Thiel

wormless behavior from some of you. absolute lack of dirt and burrowing. rethink 

grad school is weirdly psychologically straining. idk how to explain it. But my advice is basically. If you're considering something drastic, also consider things that are less drastic. If you're considering quitting, then also consider threatening to quit. If you're considering suicide, consider quitting. Whatever drastic thing you're consdiering because you're about to fail a class or a candidacy exam, also consider just failing and continuing anyway. You know? It's not waht you wanted, but if you're already considering something outside of the sapce of stuff you wanted, consider all the stuff less drastic than it too

good advice, not specific to grad school

Dispel Magic? Uh yeah, I sure hope it is!

Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it's a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.
