TraschcanOfIdeology [they/them, comrade/them]

I’m looking to get a PhD because I don’t think my mix of trauma and neuro divergence makes it possible to do meaningful work in many other industries/positions. I have learned to live with little, and I don’t really mind not having a super high salary, as long as I have s relatively healthy lifestyle.

I don’t think the higher degree figures paint a very representative picture. Many non-stem (and some stem) PhDs pay really badly if you’re not employed by evil corps. But that can be the case for many professions, too so idk.

At least we know we’re not emotionally dead

Thank you, reading this made me physically sick.

Isn’t the standard procedure for UK gender clinics to deny service at first to see if you “grow out of it”, like you’re converting to Judaism or something?

The victims are likely Filipino, so double ‘not terrorism’.

Something terrible.

Panamanians still hate Colombia for treating it as a proto-colony in the 1800s, it’s not gonna happen lmao.

Plus, I don’t think the hyper-dollarized, full of US worshipping bourgeois Ecuador would want to be a part of anything with Venezuela.

It might be something the people I grew up around did, and plus that I’m translating a very local word for crush with a whole set of connotations into English, which isn’t my first language. You’re right, thanks!

To me, a crush requires a certain element of self-destruction that other kinds of attraction don’t. A crush is also very selfish, it kind of objectifies the other person, and doesn’t make them an active part of the relationship building process. I have friends to whom i’m attracted to/admire greatly, but at the same time wouldn’t want to actually be in a relationship with, and I just try not to make my attraction everything about interacting with this person, there’s the shaky ground imo. I’ve had some pretty bad crushes, and it ends up pretty badly for both of us, often with the relationship being poisoned by me allowing it to go unchecked.

Then, if you’re using crush in a much more lighthearted way like some of my queer friends do, all power to you. Be histrionic and express your love/adoration as loud as you want and to the degree others consent to.

That kinda has to do more with brain plasticity than the old acronyms being better or worse though. We don’t learn as easily as we used to when we were younger so we forget what the acronyms mean.

Anyone who thought he was a leftist should look into his time as archbishop in Argentina. He had good leftist-adjacent takes, but he was not a leftist by any measure.

Francis was white (Argentine of Italian ancestry), I can’t imagine what apoplexy will hit tradcaths if a non-white pope gets elected.

My biggest problem with Xavier is that he seems to be obsessed with respectability politics.

I already studied abroad for my masters, so I’m familiar with the process for grad school abroad. It’s a bit of a pain, but doable.

Most of them you can, as far as I know. You will have to time your application with the immigration procedure (which can take months depending on the country), but it’s definitely doable.

I’m looking for a PhD program to enroll in, and I was already iffy about even considering US universities. Now? No way.

I’m not holding my breath for the rest of India though. There seems to be a serious hyper capitalist tech bro cult with a lot of political and cultural sway, and that’s leaving the BJP and Modi aside (which we shouldn’t)

Ww3 speedrun any%

Yeah but what good is it if I need electronics to use it?
