| blu 11/10/18 8:57:20 AM #38 | wolfy42 posted... there is no randomness, ParanoidObsessive posted... In that universe, someone with enough data could theoretically predict every single future event long before they occur, With quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle, how do you argue for determinism? We cant argue that its stoichiastic and out in the long run, because a single event happening as photoelectric over Compton could mean the difference of someone living from a radiation cancer treatment or dying of a recurring cancer that missed a single cancer cell. |
| Topic | Letting go of anxiety: Good or bad? |
| blu 11/10/18 8:42:22 AM #2 | Been on both sides. I can now eat before work/school, pick up girls, and get positions based on social needs. Things matter less, not as perfectionist impacting work quality, get in more arguments, say more dumb things. Basically as I got older it became less of an asset so it became outgrown. |

| blu 11/10/18 8:38:08 AM #1 | Looks like it has quite a few good games. And Ive never played more than ten minutes of Skyrim, so that will be exciting. Decisions...depends on if theres a good deal on the pro for BF. Cant find any right now. |

| Topic | What drives someone to get so into soemthing like lawn mowers or fountain pens |
| blu 11/07/18 3:19:17 PM #1 | To actively post on forums and be fans of them? I love my lawn mower and my fountain pen. I love these guys for making the effort so I have a cheap one. But of all things to be into...why? |
| Topic | I want to do a Ph.D. in my field, but... |
| blu 10/09/18 7:37:49 PM #1 | I'll be out like 500k and I worry about the state of both the field (being irrelevant) and the world (energy crisis need to stock up on money) in 10 years. Helping my friend with her M.S. thesis research right now, and I really miss doing research and writing. |

| Topic | Girlfriends mom had minor surgery. Her mom now faking pain for weeks requiring |
| blu 10/04/18 8:57:21 PM #1 | girlfriend to stay at her house. Girlfriends sister lives a mile away from girlfriends mom, but doesnt want to help, tells girlfriend shes a brat for asking to trade days off instead of being 100% her. Girlfriends mom doesnt want to go let girlfriends dad take care of her because he is working two hours away (lives in apartment two hours away and visits on weekends) Not sure when her mom will stop faking pain. Mom suddenly isnt in pain during church of book club hours or when wanting to go to restaurant. Girlfriend knows her mom is faking but feels like bad daughter to leave her mom alone. American Colleg of Surgeons says you should be able to return to work 2-3 days after surgery, a bit longer if work is physically strenuous. Girlfriend had unrelated minor surgery two weeks ago at same time, mom made her work cleaning house non-stop immediately after for five days (over weekend plus girlfriend had two days off) Girlfriend continues to clean hoarders home when not at work (because hoarders home nothing gets done) and sharing bed with lonely mom (because she makes daughters share bed if visiting). |
| Topic | I went to the broadway cast Les Miserables on Friday |
| blu 09/27/18 10:29:28 AM #1 | It's lifechanging. It makes me want to measure my life in the amount of love I give to people and work, and not in the amount of money I earn or the stuff I know or justice. Has anyone read the unabridged book? Thinking of picking it up. Probably after Counte of Monte Cristo. |
| Topic | Are universities giant scams these days? |
| blu 09/27/18 10:09:11 AM #5 | Yes, they draw you in with false information. But, I'll never recommend someone not to go to a university. Just to be smart about it. Take difficult math and english writing courses. In undergrad study to become intelligent and well-rounded. Do a basic science degree with a minor in an art or humanities, or flip that around. In grad school study to get a job. Know too many physics PhDs who could only grab 20-40k/year intro engineering jobs. Or if you want to bypass higher amounts of money and understanding of the world, just do a degree like engineering, nursing, accounting in undergrad so you're studying to get a job right off. You could just go to a tech school or community college if you're not planning on grad school tbh. You also don't need college for a well paying job. But you do for a well paying job that's interesting where you'll be working with intelligent people. |
| Topic | Just bought some new shoes. How do you like them? |
| blu 09/27/18 10:03:08 AM #22 | SmokeMassTree posted... I like the black ones but I definitely wouldn't spend $450 on some uncomfortable ass dress shoes. You have to buy those in store and walk around a bit in them first. I've walked around in AE strands in this size before, so I'm crossing my fingers here because an AE isn't in my state. Kyuubi4269 posted... Hi Balor Haha, gathering evidence? LinkPizza posted... So, because I looked at your shoe picture, youtube is now trying to sell me the exact shoe you bought. Well, the joke's on youtube. Those shoes are way too expensive and not my style... I'm hoping I can get by on the Boots theory of socio-economic unfairness Sonicplys posted... Should have gotten two PlayStation classics instead The "classic" line annoys me. They used to publish collections like these on a single disk instead of making you buy a console for it. |

| blu 09/25/18 11:07:35 PM #10 | AC_Dragonfire posted... Could get 2-3 Doc Martens for the price of those. And would last 10x longer. I'm hoping these will last 10 years. Doc Martens are nice, some of their boots look cool but I haven't looked too much into their dress shoes. |

| Topic | Whatever happened to shenti. |
| blu 09/25/18 10:34:09 PM #11 | I'm hoping Shenti meets up with me before I move away. I think bringing ShadowSexii and having all three of us do something would be fun, because we're all within like 20 minutes of each other. |

| Topic | My girlfriend's mom will be sad if my gf goes on a trip without her. |
| blu 08/27/18 8:35:35 AM #1 | So my girlfriend wont go on a trip with me. She has gone with me to see my family and a work conference and to a wedding in a city a few hours away. But not on an actual trip to go on a trip. Was thinking of visiting a city we havent been, since a lot of cool cities are 2-6 hours away. She also spent $200 on premium currency in a mobile app this paycheck, so is a bit shortchanged. But I did offer to just cover everything. |

| Topic | What're some manga with good writing? |
| blu 08/17/18 1:41:04 PM #1 | Not teenagers with super powers always getting stronger. Not acting super awkward around girls. Not getting into ridiculously contrived situations. No fan service. No love triangles. None of the weird sexual crap. No shock value settings (which is whats most popular these days). Like an actually good story, told in manga form, without the awful culture that comes with anime. Buddha being an awesome manga series. Monster is cool too, though not quite as good. Gon is also cool, for what it is. |

| blu 08/13/18 8:06:49 PM #7 | THEGODDAMNBATMA posted... Mead posted...They really hate you I guess I took a college level communications class back in high school. We basically had 400 percentage points to give to five people including ourselves. Two people in the group were datin, two were best friends, I was a junior and they were seniors, they were the stupid type not going to college, and in high school I was unsocial. Better to learn the lesson now than when at work where it matters. Real world is no different. I got better by spending ears developing my social skills and would say Im in the top dozen of the department now. Soft skills matter way more than technical skills, though are harder to prove you have. Even in a physics department *sigh* |

| blu 08/09/18 11:16:48 AM #1 | More than I enjoy making models. Still considering being a data scientist. But it'll be hard to leave that 120+ salary I'm under a year from, and that 180k+ salary I'm a few years from. Ugh |
| Topic | My girlfriend's parents place is a hoarders place. |
| blu 08/08/18 10:48:46 AM #31 | SusanGreenEyes posted... Why are you trying to limit the visits and communication between your girlfriend and her family? I never said I was trying to. Just that it's what she needs to do. That's typical adult communication anyhow. But to answer your question, she needs to limit it for mental health reasons. |

| blu 08/07/18 12:04:05 PM #18 | Jen0125 posted... I've never seen you say anything nice about your girlfriend. Hmmm, I think I made a post on Valentines day about how sweet the gift she got me was. She's super sweet and nice to me and is down to go do pretty much anything. Which is awesome we've been going to a ton of escape rooms and building disney posters. And she's super pretty and trustworthy. Just has boundary issues. Zeus posted... blu posted...in addition to the house which is worth like half a million. For size. Oklahoma, so cheap housing. Half a million is nice anywhere, but does wildly vary in size. wwinterj25 posted... My dad is a hoarder and my room is the only "normal" room in the house. That's the way it'll stay too because I pay towards the rent so it's like I'm renting out the room. Still I've known a lot worse living conditions. Looking online it's crazy the percentage of people with the hoarding disorder. |
| Topic | My girlfriend's parents place is a hoarders place. |
| blu 08/06/18 3:49:45 PM #9 | Star_Spirit posted... also... serious advice here. you should think about how it could affect your future if you end up living with her Yeah, it's been on my mind. It's caused so many issues in her life. Tonight I'm going to have the talk with her and tell her that I'm going in leave her if she's not on track to getting her life in order a bit before my residency ends. As far as I know I've given her all the support I can, and the rest in on her. She just needs to cut back family visits to maybe seeing them for dinner once a week or phone call. I wouldn't say the cards she got dealt were as bad as if their parent was an alcoholic or drug addict or violent, but they're not great. |
| Topic | How many books do you read a year (excluding college texts)? |
| blu 08/06/18 11:31:23 AM #55 | Either 0 or 50+, no in between. Once reisdncy ends Ill be reading them again. |
| Topic | My girlfriend's parents place is a hoarders place. |
| blu 08/06/18 11:28:04 AM #4 | WastelandCowboy posted... Hoarding items to the extent that youre describing usually boils down to a metal disorder. Instead of insulting and hating them, maybe try and see if theyll see or talk to someone who might be able to help them. It is definitely a mental disorder accompanying others. Everyone there has mental disorders, know it, and wont get help. Its sad but at some point you just have to cut ties with people who are holding your life back and think of your own future. My girlfriend has issues too and has gone to therapy for a decade and has brought her family each to 1-2 sessions. They all know they need help, but are too embarsssed to give up heir public everything is perfect facade. If you wont take a basic step to helping yourself, eventually its on you. All your can do is give a person opportunity and resources and support, and eventually that has to end. No wonder shes always over there cleaning for them. Even with her dedicating three days a week to cleaning their place it will never get better. |
| Topic | My girlfriend's parents place is a hoarders place. |
| blu 08/06/18 11:15:03 AM #1 | Like its literally worse than the TV show because they have many storage units also rented out in addition to the house which is worth like half a million. Even my girlfriends room. But shes clean over at our place because Im super clean. I despise every member of her family. |
