HxH has a sort of higher-tech One Piece vibe to me thus far (at the very start). Kinda feels like Togashi looked at Oda and was like 'yeah I could do that'
fuck landlords
fuck cars

Learned about Dilawar of Yakubi from r/newswithjingjing today, from there looked up more and saw this incredibly compelling (and none of it inaccurate nor exaggerated when you look at the actual testimonials/court records etc) article: https://natcath.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2005c/081205/081205z.htm
It's just another example of western barbarism as usual, but I think it's important we all remember each and every one of these victims, and similarly also remember all the perpetrators. If humanity can forgive without first ending the threat of the western imperialist system, or if it can ever forget, we will be doomed (as someone whose own family history involves such forgetfulness). The majority of the world has a history of this, and this (forgetfulness in part) too...
IDK. other than that maybe I need to hop off hexbear and the grad for a few days, and YT too. Probably won't lol... I touch grass and socialize IRL (sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes very much not) but even then it's a sort of feeling like the world is closing around me (or us all).
if i build a place for hobbits to live is that a hobbitat
Its so frustating how mainstream anti immigrant/refugee sentiment is, like "not terminally online" people more often than not are hitlerites when it comes to immigrants.
Anyone here go to grad school while working full time?
I'm thinking about maybe one day doing it when I save up more money but I'm worried about feeling overwhelmed
I'm currently working on a computer science masters degree while working full time. I've been taking one or two classes a semester each fall and spring for the past few years. I'm largely able to do it because I work a cushy WFH computer toucher job that also does tuition reimbursement, am going to a state university not far from me, and have all my classes scheduled at night. Even then, some semesters I got so overwhelmed that I needed to withdraw from some classes and take them again when I'm not drowning in stress.
I would only recommend it if you are in a stable place both schedule-wise and financially.
I dont work from home but my job is pretty flexible with when I can come in and leave and they do have tuition reimbursement.
Do you feel that you "lose" information from the classes you took earlier? I'm worried if it takes me longer to get the degree ill struggle with retaining the information.
I am not sure it is possible in terms of hours per week. There are part time programs, but that assumes you work part time as well.
Id only be able to do part time grad school (in microbiology or something similar) while working full time
I know someone in my department who also worked full time got their masters but they left and I never got to ask how they made it work
It's gonna depend on the type of grad school. A professional master's may have programs designed to do that. A PhD is often close to a full time commitment. A law degree or MD is designed around the students comitting full time to the degree.
Definitely not thinking about a PhD while still working
Starting to think I should give up on the idea until I'm more stable in my career but I'm worried if I wait too long it'll be too hard to get back into it
Try to get an assistantship. You'll get a stipend for teaching or other campus work and they cover your tuition.
I've thought about those options but I'm autistic and don't think I can handle teaching.
I used to grade papers for a teacher in high school and could totally do something like that but actual teaching while masking would be overwhelming
It's surprisingly easy, for starters your first few years would be mostly grading. Other duties are homework help setups (you go around, get a direct question, give a direct answer, there's not even time for other interaction), and eventually running tutorials. For tutorials, there's a bit of back and forth with the class, but typically it is picking a few interesting problems and walking the class through them.
AI usecase: what if everyone was mindnumbingly incompetent

"I used ChatGPT to make Excel Macros which do my job, this is why ChatGPT is an amazing unique product"
Anyone with a mediocre knowledge of Excel/any programming language also could have done this. The scary part is how an company relied on this for presumably years.
I know in my heart that any task that requires raw data in excel in a business case I could go in and use macros to chop it up into tiny bite sized pieces with VBA. Now with my experience working at Langley I've been doing the same in Google sheets I've only become more powerful.
ChatGPT is absolutely capable of hallucinating numbers if you ask it for an excel sheet btw
What is in these excel files that causes them to crash computers???
Idk, but if you give me a template output and the input excel files I could probably do it in under an hour with python. Idg why they don't have a single person who can manipulate data with a general programming language. Like it doesn't have to be what they do full time, and you don't need like a unicorn software engineer to do it. Just insane how most businesses seem to operate on the most broken ad hoc processes lol.
Also, much frustration if I try to do something in Blender and I know how trivial it would be in solidworks.
I hate solidworks btw
I love sitting fucking around instead of doing my obligations and then reaping the consequences. :eviscerated:
Just like me fr fr, except today it seems
Sorry to hear deadline passed :( ,really sucks when that happens
Maybe next time!!
Should you be doing something now and do you want me to pester you about it?
im past the deadline, sorry
I know that feel
Kamala Harris will nuke the world to prevent GTA 6 and TES6 from being released
Good. GTA all have "creepy gamer chud" energy and every bethesda open world rpg has been worse than the one before since todd took control.
I want to explore Florida.
Also, I want nice leftist rifftrax: 3 friendly funny far left nerds chatting about film history and materialism over the top of random movies. The occasional riff, but talking about how this bit of propaganda works, the real world history leading up to the movie being made, etc etc.
Ooh, lefttrax would be fun
It probably should be the case, but building a vehicle to go on the road costs waaaay more than I thought it would. The design and materials are the cheap part, everything else is like a chain of expensive people saying "yes, bits won't fall off this"
