2024.05.29 07:41 Chahj We have it pretty good

Was feeling regretful about my career choice and whether I should’ve gone to med school.
Went on the residency sub, one thing led to another and then… HOLY FCKING SHIT
Search the word “suicide” on that sub and you will be shocked. It’s fcking crazy, there are multiple people offing themselves every year. I thought we had it rough—Jesus Christ.
Did a google search and Medical Doctors have the highest suicide rate among all professions. I had no idea.

2024.05.29 07:40 Logical-Independent7 Finally realized the domain I want to work in (advice?)

Obviously this is hopeful and long-term but, I realized tonight that I can combine my interests in software/data engineering, and sustainable small-scale gardening into one niche knowledge set. At the moment I understand that this may be just a personal hobby; however, I would absolutely LOVE ideas on how to make this happen, as a career as well as in my personal life (projects).
For context, I am a U.S. veteran in university for CS going into my 3rd year. I have worked extensively with heavy machines and dirt, a little with irrigation, a lot with commercial water lines, I have extremely limited funds but a semi large property and kids who love nature.
Any tips are welcome of course but I am especially interested in ideas on how to bring these worlds together for a career. In a sort of "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life" vibe. Thank you!

2024.05.29 07:39 sobsobthrowaway Can't leave him, and he won't leave me

Apologies for the lengthy post, but I (23f) have been stuck in a rut with my boyfriend (23m) for over a year now and I have no idea what to do from here. It’s not an active, intentionally emotionally abusive thing, and I truly believe he doesn’t want to hurt me, but I’ve come to the slow conclusion that my current physical and mental health state has to be related to my stress over him, and yeah sure, I’ll get some strangers to weigh in on this. We’re long distance, and have been close romantically on and off since high school. I cut things off twice, once after just a year, and again when we just started college, but both times we just couldn't stay apart.
We’ve been together seriously for 3 years now, but I feel like he hasn’t been in love with me since early 2023. We talked less and less over the course of the year, with no real work to see each other or anything. He even jokingly confided in me that he considered he might be aromantic but shrugged it off. That’s a lot coming from somebody who ALSO confided that during our second split that he was flirting and entering relationships either to 1. make me jealous or 2. try and replace me. Outright-- to try and fill the gap I’d left. When I confronted him about the fact that, on top of his general apathy towards me and me having to do all the heavy lifting in the relationship, he’d considered just naturally not experiencing romantic attraction while still “dating” me. And he just kind of brushed it off.
I’ve had multiple lengthy, LENGTHY conversations with him about how I feel like we don’t do anything together, how I feel like he really only talks to me out of obligation if he talks to me at all, and how it really, really feels like I’m a girlfriend in name only. He spends all his time with newer friends, and I’m happy that he’s happy, but I didn’t expect the change to completely wipe me out of the picture. I don’t want to sound like I’m being a clingy, jealous woman here; he used to have involved, fun talks with me daily, and now he just will not talk to me for days for the sake of spending more time with new people. He got really attached to one person, getting all giggly and excited when they expressed wanting to get closer to him too, and it felt like he really had a crush on them. I insisted if he didn’t love me the same way anymore, that was fine, we’ve got our entire lives ahead of us to find the people we DO love, but he reiterated, a bit unconvincingly, that he was definitely, for sure, still in love and still wanted me and no one else.
The real crux of this happened in February, a few weeks after the first time we talked about how I felt like a title and nothing else. He asked me early in the morning if I’d be okay with him having phone sex with one of his new friends (shock of all shocks, the same one he got all starry-eyed over). We’ve always had a lax policy on physical intimacy, because of the distance between us, but the key thing here is that that stemmed from how little we could actually give it to each other. I didn’t mind any physical encounters he’d had, and really, all of them hadn’t gone further than kissing a girl at a club or similar small things. But the idea of him having phone sex bothered me, because… The whole reason we agreed ACTUAL sex was okay was because of how little we could actually offer that to the other. Something like that was one of the few things I could offer all the time, and he wanted it from someone else? I told him alright, but there’s one condition-- Now that I know you want this, you’re coming to me for it moving forward. He agreed, but just 10 minutes later said the two of them backed out of it because the other person was afraid of catching feelings.
He went cold every time I tried to initiate anything sexual, or really romantic at all for that matter. I ALSO asked what the deal was with that, and he said he just preferred actual intimacy to this. I brought up how suspicious he sounded, saying that the other person backed out right after I made my jokey rule, and suddenly he doesn’t want this thing he was sheepishly asking about just days ago. However, the closer we get to the date of his trip to visit me, the more he keeps subtly mentioning that he might not have the energy when the time comes for that, either. So rest assured, team, he’s definitely not just keeping me around for the sex.
He’s not even a good friend anymore in general. I try to support him whenever he needs me, even if it means staying up until 3 a.m. when I have work tomorrow, but when I need comfort, I get simple, curt replies. When I started doing the same to him, he asked why I was such a defeatist over his problem. He would ignore me for days if I wasn’t interesting enough to him, and though he’s been getting better about that, he still constantly talks over me on simple matters like our interests or my day. He expects me to be invested in everything he’s invested in, but he won’t even sit through an hour-and-a-half movie with me after I’ve tried to get him to for years. Embarrassingly, I didn’t fully pick up on this until one of my friends invited me to introduce them to one of my favorite things, and actually listened and engaged with me throughout.
So, I can’t be happy around him, or I’m ignored. I can’t be sad, or it somehow loops around to being about him again. And I sure as shit can’t be angry. I’m already a villain for leaving him twice.
I’ve realized recently that I feel like I’ll always be somewhat in love with him, but ultimately, it would be best for us to break up. However, he’s always been on shaky ground with his depression, and it seems like it’s only gotten worse with time. He’s reached a vulnerable point that he hasn’t hit before, at least in the time I’ve known him, and despite his lackluster attitude towards me, I know things will get very bad very quickly if I try to break things off myself. But… if you’re not romantically attracted to me, not sexually attracted to me, not interested in my life or our friendship, forget relationship-- What’s the point of NOT seeing other people? People who could make him happier than me, people he’s obviously interested in!
Sorry again for the length here. As you’ve probably guessed by now, this has been tearing away at me for a long time. He’s visiting in a month, and I can’t muster the energy to pretend to be excited about it. If anything, I’m dreading it, because it’s sure as hell not cheap to get flights these days, and I don’t want him busting hundreds of his own money just to ignore me and be bored with me in person. I don’t want to sound overdramatic or selfish, but this really has me crying almost every other day, fearing what would happen if I did just try to cut things off myself. I have no idea how to ask anyone for advice on this, because it’s just so… much, and I love him and don’t want him to seem like a bad person. I know he’s not. But I HAVE to have some sort of closure. Communication isn’t helping. I have to have a plan moving forward if I want to get better myself.
TL;DR: My bf is neglecting me in almost every department to the point the stress is taking a toll on me, but to break up with him would destroy him at an already weak point mentally. I’ve talked to him about this a dozen times, explicitly saying I feel like he’s no longer in love with me, and that’s alright, but we need to cut it off if he isn’t. He keeps insisting he still loves me. What can I say or do moving forward when communication isn’t cutting it?

Just wanted to get some ideas on how others have completed their Post-Bacc in Washington state and got into med school. I’m thinking of combining both CC classes and being a non-matriculated student at any of the UW campuses, since the only other option to apply for a Post-Baccalaureate at a 4 year university is Seattle U, which I can’t afford. Any advice would be helpful!

2024.05.29 07:37 Same-Investment-3 Looking for some guidance when it comes to practice

Hey all, just for some context I'm a violist in eighth grade going into high school next year and I'm coming up on summer vacation this year. To be quite honest, even though I've been playing viola several years, this is the first year I've ever actually practiced and taken music seriously. Previously I was just kind of drifting through rehearsals and not worrying about it too much. But now, I've began to take music seriously, and while I don't have bad technique, you'd probably expect more out of someone who's been playing for three years. also my music knowledge is pretty much completely basic. I can read alto clef, (although sometimes I doubt myself when I start getting way above the staff) and can play 2 octave C, D, And kind of G scale as well as E, F, A, and b flat single octave. In around 2 weeks or so after I'm done with school I'll have a ton of time on my hands and am hoping to use some of it to practice viola. Usually my practice is pretty haphazard and all over the place and I feel like I don't really get much better, so can someone recommend a sort of practice routine as well as what I should practice to improve. If it helps to judge my ability I'm a scored a perfect score on a level 3 NYSSMA (Tbh I have no idea if that means anything to anyone outside of New York State so for context it's the governing body for things like All-State music preformences in New York)

2024.05.29 07:36 theConsummateProf How should I feel

So I (24M) am going through a difficult time emotionally in terms of trying to figure out my current situation. One thing I can’t get over is what went wrong with my parents who are somehow still together. They both CLEARLY don’t like each other very much and I’m pretty sure the reason why is that they spend way too much time in the house together and it’s been going on for so long. My dad “worked” from home for a long time as a photographer (basically most of the time that I’ve known him) and things got real tough on his business for a good minute. But he went out of his way to not suck it up and do certain work that would’ve helped pay the bills (refused to shoot weddings, other things that annoyed him). It honestly comes off to me now as a bit lazy, and low and behold do I learn that he was a big pot head for my entire life. I personally don’t have an issue with weed, but I used to find it strange why he never really had energy. He also used to vent to me about his marital frustrations and how depressed he was CONSTANTLY, which I think I’ve figured out is because he smoked too much damn weed. This also made things very hard to enjoy when I was growing up bc I think I kinda felt responsible for him. He was always in an existential crisis. I’m gonna stick with the occasional joint but I’m going to be a booze guy from here on out (responsibly I might add, I’m not an idiot). Through all that, I generally have pretty good memories with him as he could be lots of fun at times. In terms of fatherly advice though, he kinda sounds like he barely, if at all, knows what he’s talking about. A lot. BUT, he did show up to everything that me or my brother were involved with and was and still is our biggest fan. He may just kinda repeat back what I say a lot when I ask for advice, but at least he’s trying. I appreciate the effort.
Mom was different. She worked a nursing job on the weekends that she had to commute to. This pretty much destroyed her mental health in my opinion, as she’s incredibly isolated and used to exaggerate how bad, irresponsible, and not caring I was as a kid and teen (I was the kind of kid adults DREAM of. 4.0 student, full ride, helpful, interesting hobbies but can also have fun. Never a burden to anyone really, club joiner, plenty of friends. The whole 9 yards). I was pretty introverted but I think it’s because of how they set everything up to be SO isolated. Putting me in an isolating school that was pretty far from our neighborhood because mom resented it. Our house is literally in a ditch that was pretty separated from everyone (only 1 neighborhood friend). Social skills were honestly at a premium to develop, but I survived. She always seemed so irritated at me, would point out a lot of insecurities I had to her friends to laugh about with, and never really cared to participate in things with me. Never showed up to school events or functions that I was involved with, blamed it on a fear of crowds (which she conveniently doesn’t have when it’s something she wanted to do). She was just kinda mean and distant. Did I jaw back and embarrass her occasionally? Sure, but considering other kids were shooting up heroin in our family (a true fucking story that she had to stick her nose in), I think I can be forgiven. This isolation had an incredibly negative impact on her health. The house is a wreck, her heart sucks as she had a heart attack a couple years back. It’s bad. Real bad. All she does is sit on her damn phone and watch tiktok. Her brain (which, she actually was acutely intelligent) is pretty much fried. It also didn’t help to learn from my aunt that my mom has had affairs (I want to think multiple but I can only confirm one), and the one I can confirm is with a convicted pedophile that she continues to defend (and my dad idiotically goes along with her bullshit on it)… so yeah. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that information.
So how do I make sense of all this. I’m very bad at communicating what I need unless I’m drunk, but I still want them to do better. I work from home with great pay for a single man, so I’m sorta using that to “make up for lost time” on things I missed out on as a kid, but I still feel isolated and stressed bc of the situation. I know I have a deep mistrust and fear of women that I need to get over as well, but I don’t know how to do that. I’m going to see yet another therapist about this, but even that’s burning me out. What’s with this situation?

2024.05.29 07:33 bush-critter New to APS - in a new job in a new team with major dysfunction

I’m two months into a new job in a new team at a QLD government department. My background is 10 years in academia. It’s a team of five - myself (F), another new staffer (M, also from academia), my line manager (F), and two senior staff (F, consultant clinicians). The latter three have worked together and have plenty of experience in government, but are new to their current roles. My line manager in particular is inexperienced.
The dynamics are unbelievable - overt bullying, manipulation, self-interest, upsurping, lack of role clarity, no communication - on top of an immense workload and overall poor-quality work. Quantity/quality issues so bad there’ll be an external review. The line manager’s solution is to report the senior staff continuously to the service managers (M), and when she asked me to do the same I had my job openly threatened by one of the senior staff. This person has been so unpleasant to me since. When I declined to report a second time, because my mental health wasn’t up to it, my line manager was then unpleasant and I ended up being called into a meeting anyway.
I also feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place as I have a prior close working relationship with the other senior staffer and she’s probably the reason I got this job - and I want to keep working on her projects and not let her down - but she too does things that aren’t super professional.
My initial thought was that this was just a new team sorting itself out. But on Monday my line manager reported the senior staff to the service managers again, I have no idea what for. The new staff were called into a meeting with the service managers with 7min notice and told to report the issues (in front of our line manager - so we couldn’t be totally honest). We were instructed not to talk with the senior staff (including the one I’m close to) outside of set meetings which will be supervised by a service manager. The senior staff assign work and the line manager is so disengaged from them that she has zero idea about what we’re supposed to be working on.
I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth continuing to try when it’s like this. I like the work, and I like working with the other new staffer. We have a plan for ourselves. The service managers have scheduled a “planning meeting” in three weeks where we’re supposed to sort this out. And it might be career suicide to leave - particularly as I’ve just left academia, which was a huge decision. But I do have a Plan B job lined up - it’s not great career-wise but it will pay the mortgage.
I guess my question is: Is this normal for government? Do things like this get sorted out? Or should I move on now while I can?
I should add that I’m on sick/stress leave today and I also have psychologist support.

2024.05.29 07:32 Worried_Dot_3816 Any good quotes related to the real world + technology?

I’m doing a school project in which we are supposed to choose a text/media form and use it to contribute to a discussion on a more broad topic. The idea is that everyone has a unique perspective which leads to different points being made within the discussion. My group’s broad topic was technology and I figured that the post-apocalyptic + technologically advanced world of horizon ZD was kind of a perfect (albeit pretty extreme) warning for us as technology continues to develop. One problem: I need a quote or two to analyze by later this week and as much as I’d love to, I don’t have the time to speedrun every story mission while taking notes of good quotes, so I’ve decided to turn to the community for help!
TL;DR Does anybody know of any quotes from HZD (FW works too but preferably ZD) which mention the effects of technology within the game and could also be used to give perspective on tech in the real world?
I promise I’m not asking you guys to do the work for me this is just the starting point and I need a little help!!

2024.05.29 07:31 cadrat Asking for girlfriend's parents blessing

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some advice as I'm a little unsure of what to do here. I want to propose to my girlfriend soon, we live in Australia. Her parents both live in Korea and her dad is a bit "old-school" and I think he would appreciate it if I ask for their blessing.
I'm hoping to go to Korea in September, but my Korean isn't great and I might not have an opportune time to ask them (I'm trying to keep this a secret from my girlfriend).
What do you think I should do? I had an idea that I could do a video call with a Korean friend to translate for me, do you think that's OK or should i wait?
Thanks!

2024.05.29 07:29 Ditttto1 I think I might have Bipolar 2

Hi, Im a 20 year old college student who’s been diagnosed with borderlinepd, Ive had plenty of euphoric type episodes that last about an hour tops. They consist of the fast pacing around, talking at speeds no one can understand and bouncing from topic to topic, feeling absolutely hilarious and amazing about myself, etc. These episodes are really rare which has always sucked because they’re invigorating.
The past few days I have been in an episode like that, it was like a euphoric episode times a thousand, at first I brushed it off it, until the peak where I felt like a child again, there was this electricity running through my body and brain, I kept getting these zaps of lightning, and I kept forming new ideas for this project ive been working on, I could not stop myself from talking and if I tried(to prove to myself Im faking this) I just found myself biting or tapping at something, I couldnt sit still. I cleaned my entire bedroom(I deepcleaned, there was so much small stuff I wouldve never cared about cleaning otherwise), theres more but I felt alive finally. That peaked ended the second day(?). Today I woke up at like 10pm, (im sleeping all day and staying up all night) really agitated, my heads been hurting all week, but then I went right back into this episode, and it ended at 2pm. I felt this sudden wave of depression and the headache was stronger, I felt dead, like my brain wasnt working at all. I tried calling my college therapist to ask for help bc I’m a little scared tbh. This entire thing reminded me a lot of an acid trip, the feeling of being a child, and alive, the productivity, the pacing, and the hangover afterwards. I went to sleep at 4pm and just woke up at 12.
Part of me thinks this wasnt a hypomanic episode because I was sleeping a normal amount, I’ve been drinking two spaced out cups of coffee a day, no one in my family has bipolar. Im hoping its a weird fluke and my borderline was just acting crazy. If you could offer reassurance or any sort of help, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

2024.05.29 07:29 blackened-scoobgaze I have three study ideas for my master’s thesis, all of which pertain to gender conceptualization and either autistic individuals or neurodivergent people as a whole. Wanted to gauge interest and see which idea is the most popular - if you are potentially interested, please let me know below!

Hi everyone, I’m currently getting my master’s in sociology. As a result of that, I have to prepare a final thesis project to graduate. However, I have three ideas for my study, and I cannot decide which I wanted to look into. I wanted to come here (and potentially other places as well) to gauge interest in my ideas, in hope that one topic will be more of intrigue than others. I want to disclose beforehand that I am a self-diagnosed autistic individual myself, biromantic + demisexual, and agender. To participate, you have to be an adult between the ages of 18-29 and residing in the continental U.S. Every idea is one that consists of in-depth interviews over zoom, however a text alternative will be available for those who have verbal communication difficulties. With that in mind, here are my ideas:
Study Idea One: This was my original idea. This study idea would consist of 16 individuals. There would be four categories of participants: autistic cis folks, autistic trans folks, allistic trans folks, and allistic cis folks. The questions would discuss gender conceptualization and despite potential differences and similarities between each group, would ultimately argue that autistic individuals have the autonomy and agency to make their own decisions regarding gender, and thus should be able to access gender affirming care accordingly. My only worry with this study idea is that I’m told the sample size is too ambitious by many of my sociology professors.
Study Idea Two: This study would be conducted on solely non-binary autistic folks, with a sample size of 8. This and the third idea were come up with by my thesis chair, so they’re not as fleshed out yet as my first idea. My same argument from above would be made, however I feel as if this study would be more exploratory rather than a comparative analysis.
Study Idea Three: This study would be conducted on neurodivergent individuals (so you don’t have to be autistic, just neurodivergent as a whole) who identify as a xenogender. There is very little academic literature on xenogenders, and to put it bluntly, I think that is tragic. This would be more exploratory as well, with the same arguments as above (in addition to the argument that xenogenders are valid and real).
Let me know what study out of these sounds the most interesting for you! We likely won’t collect data until later this fall!

2024.05.29 07:27 NoSell8071 Mark, Bob, and Wade (Appreciation Post)

I rarely ever post, but I wanted to say that listening to these three idiots has helped me more than they will ever know. I have been lost since I left high school, left wandering this earth. I’ve been a long time viewer of all three of them since the dawn of YouTube, but there podcast is just something else, dare I say magical. They’ve given me such perspective on topics and ideas I would never have thought. They have taught me the art of self reflection and how digging deeper is beneficial even when it hurts. These three honestly, have given me hope. Listening to them has actually, finally, at the ripe age of 22 go and seek help regarding ADHD. I like how raw Mark can be and I love how Bob and Wade are not only so self aware but aware of everything. In my opinion this is the greatest podcast of all time. From laughing so hard I can’t breathe to wanting to cry my eyes out. They really have a lot to offer and there is often a lesson learned in each of their episodes unless it’s Mark talking about hard drives. Truly, I love these guys and I hope they continue as long as they can, I’ve learned so much about my self and the world through these three fine esteemed gentleman. Thank you Mark, Bob, and Wade for making this great podcast, and thank you for the years of entertainment even though we aren’t deserving of such Godly entertainers.

2024.05.29 07:25 Complete_Document_61 AITA for arguing with my friend about credit in our band we want to start?

AITA for getting mad at my friend for not giving me proper credit over her band? Me and my friend have been working on creating a band for a while now(we’re both still in school) and I gave her the idea to start the band but not in the way that it was my idea to make it but in the sense of saying it to get it off the ground. I have created ideas for song names, lyrics, album covers, literal music videos, and all that stuff. And we have no members, so when she went to ask her boyfriend to be a guitarist, she explained how I did some stuff but then later on, he asked who was in the band to him and she said only her(over text) and it sounded like she meant only her had worked on it so I got mad and wanted proper acknowledgement and credit over stuff like me created lyrics and stuff. But she said because it was just ideas and both of us hadn’t agreed on all of them, it didn’t need credit. I then got mad just asking for her to say something to her boyfriend and she said I was forcing her to or I would kill her family and I said can you not and told her what I wanted her to say but while explaining it she was ignoring me and writing her own thing, out loud to me and it seemed like she did it to hurt me. Then she sent it and I got a bit mad and some time passed and I forget how it exactly went but she told me that a band is teamwork and how since she had been creating songs(ideas) and stuff she didn’t have to give me full credit and I told her that even though what I have is also just ideas, I do want him to know and she just kept getting mad. This is my first time posting here so sorry if I did anything wrong.

2024.05.29 07:25 rxssri Is it a bad thing to accept money from someone where there are many people?

I'm curious because yesterday, I tried to give my classmate money as a contribution to a group project that we're doing. She shouldered most of the expenses while the others didn't even bother to help her, and I felt bad because I haven't paid for anything yet. The day before that, I asked her how much was spent on the project, (it's quite a lot and she even jokingly said that she's broke now) so I promised that I'll give her the money tomorrow and she said ok. The next day, in school, she refused when I gave it to her and insisted that I keep the money instead, and that there's no need for me to do that because "it's fine". I know what it feels like to be in her situation and I hate the feeling that I owe someone something (especially when it comes to money) so I tried to give it to her for like five times. She still refused and that's when I gave up. So now I'm curious if it's bad or inappropriate to accept money from someone in a place like that, would she have accepted it if I gave the money in a more private or discreet place?

2024.05.29 07:24 DigitalDiogenesAus What are the "things I need to know" at a new school?

Just been appointed senior school principal at an IB school. I need to build a list of "things I need to know".
I have been a teacher /ap for a long while so I have some ideas, but I thought I'd ask more experienced hands what they think. What stuff do you need to know when you arrive? What are the questions you ask?
