Have you ever considered Body Hacking or at least Body Mods?

Every parents goal should be to have their child surpass them without sacrificing happiness.
Undergrad life and the importance of joining a lab
@Juxtacognition
>>Agree so much. I work from home, so I spend a lot of time figuring out things on my own, but I find that it’s given me a bad habit of not talking it through with others or asking for help? Maybe just a me thing.
<<It's a common force of habit that's not as easy to break, but easy to remedy.
>>I can relate to not fitting in with class mates. I’m old enough to be their mom, honestly, so it makes me very different, but that somehow didn’t matter in the lab. We were paired together informally based on what our area of interests were, so the differences didn’t matter so much?
<<Common interests help lay down groundwork for common perspective which is required for easier communication of intents and ideas. It helps a lot, but not required.
>>I can tell you that my new lab isn’t as great, but I think it’s because we don’t really study much in common.
<< My condolences, at least you have a lab to go to? On the flip side, although common ground is near nil- that also means there's other perspectives you can hopefully draw help from, should you be able to reach out to them.

I'd be mad if he gave up halfway through - at least he was creative and determined enough to follow through with a plan of his own devising.
Maybe someday he'll photocopy a single side of the homework and say that's all he got? Who knows.

On Fedi, chances are people will see everything. Do yourself a favor and scrub the metadata from your pics before you upload them to someone else's server.
Undergrad life and the importance of joining a lab

>>So, after several days of fighting with a problem, and weeks of dealing with a difficult educational situation, I was able to find a solution to both with one chat to my former lab partner.
<<Daily occurrence for me. I'd make a ticket system for myself, but I'd put myself out of businesses with my own backlog of unfinished wip.
>>I know that in today’s world, the push is to have huge labs or none at all, but mine has been absolutely pivotal to my education, my success, and quite frankly, my well being.
<<In my field of work, most people DiY at home. Fortunate few find local groups- others pay to go to local hackerlabs(essentially maker spaces).
>>All of us who joined the lab that year became close. And some of us are still best friends to this day.
<< Never had that experience in university, unfortunately. Most classmates either had egos or alternative interests outside my own, and couldn't relate. I've had better luck with IRC.
>>I love that we can call each other this many years later and still help each other find answers and solutions to the problems we can’t solve on our own. << Yeah, I'm the workplace- we're supposed to know where to get answers if we don't have them already. That's where friends come in... "I can't give you the answers, but I know a guy...."
>>And I have no idea how other students survive without it.
<<Desperation breeds innovation.
>>A lab should absolutely be necessary for every undergrad.
<<Either you are what you do or you do what you are. Extracurricular studies and experimentation are essential for quality learning and development.
@fmneto
....no to both.
I made a direct reply to your post- which got deleted after I replied. I don't see your original post up though, which is weird. Whatever.

I don't go on bird site- so this is all I can muster. Not like it matters.

You must have deleted a post. That was a sarcastic reply to it.
@nomi
Oh, I thought you were a hipster trying to set a trend...
Who administers the exam to let you work on people's backs?
@nomi
Is there a doctor in the house?! This guy has me splitting my sides!
Ok, that's enough horsing around. I don't mean to be a pain in the neck- I won't be flipping backwards for laughs anymore. ![]()
@vjack
Well, you're clearly federated - so reach out to others if you have questions. Not everyone will want to help, but that's the diversity of Fedi.
@peterdrake @grammargirl
You have no idea how badly I wish I had the stomach to try this in public.
@vjack
>>I guess just to steer people here by letting them know what they're missing.
<<Users here _have_ been doing that. Usually, people just aren't interested in Fedi because 'its hard' or 'top complicated'. It really isn't, though.
>>I'm seeing LGBTQ folks pouring their hearts out on Twitter and getting no response (or worse).
<< Happens here too. Just easier to navigate to different circles compared to other places.
>>It just makes me wish I knew more about how this all works.
<<Functionally or technically? Functionally, it's really simple. Technically, you might take time depending on your current state of technical comprehension.
