@ANTIASYLUMIST discrimination is strong in academia. I have experienced it first-hand.

@Wisecrack I would rather be alleft, but I'm not. Still crawling.

@Wisecrack personally, massive difference. I don't do relationships that way.

We talking about a sucker punch or relationship?

@Demolishun a good nail technician actually doesn't leave a gap under your nails, more than it naturally would be. Also, you're advised to use a brush when you wash your hands for this exact reason. (No one actually does all the time, but like once a day or so, people do. You can buy those nail brushes from any drugstore) Plus the nails themselves are a self-cleaning utility. If anything, short nails are more likely to not be cleaned at all.
I can't maintain long nails, but I've tried them a few times bcuz of a friend. They're manageable.

@retoor hah. I recently came to the conclusion that I don't have any friends, but many acquaintances. So that's that. (Yes, I am the problem)

@retoor plans go out the window at a moment's notice. At this point, I don't even plan really, I just prioritize.

Someone please report this creep to the police. (He's in UK, I think?)

@jestdotty yes, I am. I'm a scientist and I understand statistics. No bigger proof than child and mother mortality for me over the past 200 years. As well as the rising life expectancy. It just needs a bit of logic to understand.

@jestdotty don't need no books. I've seen the rows of dead babies in villages where vaccines couldn't reach long ago. I didn't deserve that image. The antivaxx do tho.

I recommend we give antivaxx polio just for fun. No vaccine, raw dog that paralysis. Hep B, as a plus, if that didn't kill.

She was the ice princess. 😞

@Demolishun oi! Be polite! She was many times the man Hitler and all his lackeys couldn't be.

Maybe it was not a waste, but it wasn't pleasant either. I'm lonely, not even a few good friends after years of living here. And clearly I don't even have a good job.

@retoor I'm similar. I got here because I thought I'd hide away from the world in a small town and focus on my PhD, but the people here are horrible and I was not allowed to really use a robot. I've wasted years.

... No joke, I tear up thinking about it.

@retoor none of those. Some stories involving HR, and he basically told me "I would fire you if I could".

@Demolishun already am on mg because of sleep, at least.
Is there magnesium in gaviscon? If yes, even more so.

I also haven't been able to eat for like over a day cuz of the pain and nausea. Low sugar is a big bitch.

The biggest bitch tho, is that according to google the fact that I cannot finish a deep satisfying breath is because I've been having mini panic attacks. So I'm breathing deeper and longer and that causes lower co2 in blood which apparently messes with the head and body. I constantly feel like yawning, but the yawn never arrives. It's annoying. The current method for dealing with it is basically holding my breath in like a child. FML.

Just need to not get fired for like 2 more months AND study enough for the language exam... Kill me plz.

Contract runs out in a few months. I should apply for residency, but I need to pass the language test and that's a big deal for me. Even without residency, contract runs out and then I move to Kazakhstan or Georgia and open a coffee shop. (Language issues will persist, but hey, not my first rodeo)

Gilmore Girls reference?

As someone who **might** become a German citizen soon, I'd argue there are differences between North and South. I like Hamburg and Berlin areas better. Culture is better here up North imho. I prefer mid-Europe to Spanish and Turks as well. Both cultures are a lot more likely to abuse foreigners. Also, both are loud and really not peaceful.

Don't ask me about east Germans tho; I'm still pissy about AfD's 20% approval rate.

@Demolishun oh sure. But when the snakes fight, I'd just like to watch from a safe distance.

@retoor I was referring to the interview where Altman said "I don't think he's a happy person".

@retoor idk, I am literally three racoons in a trench coat. I don't think anyone would want that as a sugar baby. 🤔

It sucks to not be able to find peace.

I don't know how you can find it tho. But I wish you inner peace. I wish you could feel calm and content.

@retoor I rather find a rich parent.

ngl, I haven't found anyone who'd match my vibe in the long run. I guess my soulmate is either dead or in jail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Demolishun good boy 😏

Now bend over so I can show you what else can hurt 😜

(I don't take responsibility for what you imagine this means 🙅)

@Demolishun 🤦🤦🤦 sexual innuendo
