    heh I really love some parts of my job; just internally sold my new bid/program plan

    just me talking casually for like 30 minutes without stopping except to answer a few questions, also making some good shit up on the fly when I realized I left some slide half-done

    It’s genuinely enjoyable and I wish I could do it a lot more

    Cred I feel like you should work for Tony Stark

    Charge people tens of thousands of dollars for a degree that makes them unhireable

    It's a foolproof plan

    tbf, in sciences usually you get paid to do the PhD, not charged
    and it makes you somewhat more hireable/likely to receive a better salary with a lower skillset

    Oh, true.

    I told girlfriend (who has a master's in public policy) that some science majors get paid a stipend for grad school and she literally didn't believe me. I had to show her articles to prove it to her.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Watching an old Top of the Pops. The Jagger/Bowie version of Dancin’ In The Streets is awful for a lot of reasons, but maybe the biggest is that it kept Bonnie Tyler and Holding Out For A Hero from getting to number one. Monstrous.

    The idea of going to a PhD program and not even getting a stipend makes me very sad

    Like it's already a huge opportunity cost, to charge for it is just twisting the knife.

    Look I published like three papers and one was in nature and I helped out all the other people in my lab with some shit and I taught programming, so it’s fine, they got an ok deal.

    I haven't heard of any science PhD program that doesn't pay its grad students. Sometimes the program comes with a teaching obligation (but my program just wanted a semester or maybe two of TAing, where TAing meant grading, not teaching), and of course you're doing research, but you always get paid. (...$15-30K. Usually in the mid 20s I think.)

    I'm all for literary minimalism when it comes to verb descriptors, but...

    I feel like Batman probably has a p strange laugh.

    Bruce Wayne has a solid politician's "HA... ha... Haha."

    Batman... yeah, he's probably got an off-putting man-giggle.

    I've been told it is the same with polisci. But I went into a public policy program instead of a PhD program.

    One of my animations this year will feature a cupcake, so far my only clip idea is a hyperslowmo deep depth of field shot with a rain of sprinkles coming down and settling in the icing. It'll be fun.
