Piefed Game Changer number 1: Custom feeds, ex:
that way I can look at non-tech non-politics stuff (either few memes or all memes) when I want.
Piefed Game Changer number 2: Scheduled posts. That way when I got free time I can make a bunch of posts and schedule them over the next couple days or weeks.
I still keep a Lemmy account bc a couple things are still easier there. Plus to see what the posts look like to other people.
The other day the house cat came into my room, coughed up a huge one, and then casually sauntered out (refusing to elaborate.)
They ran the numbers and decided they don’t need you. are you going to stick around there even when they treat you like shit? Take what you can from there, but it’s not your “home”.

hell I’d chill up there all day if I fit and it held my weight…

All this is background for the following advice: Figure out what professors in your university are likely “in the loop” with professors in Europe. Do this by looking at their web pages, social media, etc. and seeing which ones have published recently. (it does not have to be a European venue or with European collaborators.) Especially look at professors you have taken classes with, especially if you did well. Then go talk to those professors and ask them for advice and leads. At minimum they will tell you the good schools to go to. If you did any projects for them, get a recc letter. If you’re really lucky maybe they’ll put you in touch with someone.
btw that whole paragraph about cultural depictions of male competence – I agree that we are all subject to oppresive social structures, but if you’re not careful that can start to sound insensitive. and it’s not really relevant to your larger point, I’d avoid it in your upcoming conversations.
ooh I was thinking of this person: https://hachyderm.io/@combatwombat
I didn’t realize there was a whole platoon of such wombats.
Oh, hey, are you the same Combat Wombat from the mastodon watch parties?
Just in case no Japanese people answer, check this out for comparison:
My guess is the kid’s asking for a favor, but making a bit of a joke about it.
She said she’s a traditional girl, etc. I took that to mean … So I rambled about…
That right there is where you oughta be doing a lot more listening than assuming.
Wow, thanks!
idk how to help you, but this image helped me:
Hmmm I dunno but here are a bunch of links on lemmy to most of those communities:
Whenever I recommend lemmy to friends, I point them to my feeds of non-politics, non-tech communities:
If you’re interested in writing (e.g. fiction/poetry) there’s !writing_lounge@literature.cafe and !writing@slrpnk.net
If you’re interested in fitness, !fitness@lemmy.world and !Weightroom@sh.itjust.works have a certain amount of “report how you’re doing”.
If you create a new community, be sure to announce it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Death Wish 1 and 2 were sensationalistic, but at least they tried to tell a story about a normal guy who was just pushed too far and had to resort to violence. They were controversial but that was the point.
Death Wish 3 was where the producers started saying: We need money! Do whatever it takes! Just make the movie happen!

Research VS Reality…?
Research IS reality. Academic consensus from a field of experts is far more reliable than any anectodes you’re going to find here.
Maybe you’re an exception. Sure, that’s a possibility. A doctor who knows your medical history and can meet with you over time will be able to tell that. You can do “virtual visits” if you’re low on time.
Other than that, you’re in danger of just latching on to whatever anectode tells you what you want to hear.
Apparently “Apache” was slang for a certain set of French criminals in the early 1900s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apaches_(subculture)
