Yesterday I was asked for my pronouns.

It took me a while to understand that this person was being serious.

I'm a STEMoid and I'm being serious yes.
Even within STEM, a large part of students going here would do better with a technician non-uni education than having to grind through years of pretending they're "doing science".
Hell there's a real shortage of experienced technicians at research facilities. Seasoned workers who know their shit around the lab equipment and who trained that since they were ~18, rather than who wasted ~7 years on theorycel bullshit. Who went straight to lab as apprentices to train to get to know the equipment. Because now, a lot of that work is usually given to unexperienced student interns instead (who constantly fuck up), or if it's too important and too sophisticated, research scientists are forced to waste their time with getting it right instead of assigning it to a technician with comparable experience in the lab.

I have a PhD in a stem field and I agree. I think education isn't really (or at least shouldn't be about a piece of paper) but very much a journey. Many of the classes that I've found most useful have been philosophy and anthropology. I didn't end up getting a degree in them, but they influenced how I see and interact with the world and my work. I also don't see how a degree should be linear to a job, meaning how it defines you and what you are able to do. The greatest scientist I've interacted with had a bachelor's degree in history and my committee co chair had a master's in philosophy.

It's over for humancels, take the dolphinpill.

Dolphin penis is:
- 14 inches long
- prehensile like a tongue
- in all aspects superior to yours

There has been ONE experiment where a woman was left alone with a dolphin for purposes of researching their communication abilities for a prolonged period – it had to be discontinued because, uhh.. read for yourself.

Of the weed? Flushed it down the loo. It's disingenuous to smoke weed that takes me three joints to barely achieve a meagre high. 
Of the guitar? Give me a minute and I'll take a picture of my steinberger too. Chipped the cunt when I said goodbye to someone in the nz.

Tough luck. Was it in the woods? Netting and fencing is crucial in the northern hemisphere. 
Ah right, I understand your situation. Better not to rouse anyone's suspicions about growing. 
Absolutely disgusting people still lace their product with chemicals. I've only ever come across buds that haven't been flushed of their fertilizer because of sheer ignorance or just plain laziness.

Good luck, don't fall in love too quickly, Berndu ;)

I recently showed interest in a girl but she rejected a date. She seemed nice at first.
Soon later I learned that she spams tiktoks and twitch livestreams and shiet and likely is surrounded by orbiters so I dropped her.

Now, a month later she is begging me to join her "new band" and wants me to help her find more people for her projects.

Typical woman behaviour. Ridiculous.

We'll see. I'm 26 but I have only had one serious relationship and started dating kinda late. (I was a virgin until 19). I think there is some value in just experiencing more careless love like a teenager to make up for past experiences, but I also don't really know what I want. I'll just let things happen and go with the flow.
For now I know I like this girl and want to spend time with her. There are doubts in the back of my head but I don't want them to stop me from experiencing and learning about life.

It is on the later end of average and I had no experiences with women prior. And no normal experiences after. It was always some weird fwb, cuck, cheating or asexual thing.

Planning future thread

Bernd 2021-10-26 22:41:00 ⋅ 8h No. 125507

I was born with really shitty eyesight and nobody ever taught me how to deal with it, so the majority of my life I spent rather depressed and alone, bullied and without self confidence and love for myself.
That way I started to spend my time in front of the PC 24/7 and naturally I got into coding which is my job now.

However in the last few years I grew up, I learned more things about myself, I am not depressed anymore, I love myself and life in general, I became social, I can talk to people now and I'm pretty much a happy person if it wasn't for this job.

During the last months I realised that I actually hate spending 40 hours a week behind a monitor doing codemonkeying. Doing this all my life is not an option anymore.

I recently turned 23 and I haven't learned anything else yet.
Doing IT has been the plan for my life since I was ~11. 
I need to find something new but I don't know what, not knowing what I will be doing in life anymore is kinda scary, **yet exciting**.

Share thoughts about this or talk about your current worryings in life.

Thanks

Maybe try different hobbies that you could turn into a job. I'm not sure how limiting your eyesight issue is, but I recently watched a documentary about a blind guy and he works at the radio. Maybe that could be something fun and exciting and I'm sure there are ways for you to try this out as a hobby, make an podcast, join some local radio project or whatever.

Also explore the idea that maybe your job is alright and you don't need to change careers, but maybe just get a more fun life around it. Here too my advice would be trying new hobbies. Especially sports can give you a new appreciation for your body and confidence. Maybe go to the gym, it's a good exercise for anxious Bernds because you can do it at your own pace without a team.

Also therapy.

I love people.
I still value time alone though.

>>125515
If I do that I'll be in my 30s when changing jobs and then I'll likely have to feed a family. In general, when doing a change in life, the younger you are the better it is, no?

I'm fit since I daily cycle everywhere up to 1h away because 404 driving license. Already got myself almost killed a few times in traffic though lmfao.

>Also explore the idea that maybe your job is alright
Ach Bernd, being a digital construction worker is so tiresome. I'm nothing but a replacable pawn, nobody has ever thanked me for my work. This job might be nice for the $$$ but it has no deeper meaning for me and I consider it as life time wasted.

>therapy
I might legit try this

I didn't recommend sports just for being fit, there can also be a social aspect which is not there if you're just cycling. You can play team sports, join a club or just work out at the gym where you will eventually get to know the regulars and chat a bit. Just an idea to try...

If IT work doesn't seem meaningful to you, what does?

Thanks, I'll be working on it from now on. So much new stuff to learn. New target is set, picture related, me 9 years ago. I wanna be that skinny again.
I am also cutting out stuff for my guts sake, it's not normal to have this "swollen feeling" in my stomach some foods give me, and even less normal is going to some party and keep farting like crazy, nobody else does that either.
I injured my left foot and can't run now and can't even take longer walks, frustrating. Have to wait for it to heal. I wasn't even doing anything heavy with it.

>>122125

I'm gonna do that

Try cutting out wheat entire from your diet and add more probiotics and prebuotics. Farting could be a sign of bacterial overgrowth if its really stinky.

Some progress, I did that, tested Keto and fasting, it really did wonders for my stomach. I do OMAD (one meal a day) now. Gases and such are gone. I have lost 10kg and returning to my younger normal size again, feels good. Still want to get fat% down and then I'm happy.

Any other Bernds listening to the Deep Fat Fried Podcast?
For those who don't know, it's three neckbeards talking about random topics. Basically one of them gives a school-tier presentation about something to the others. Often it is quite interesting and entertaining.
