Well you can tell by my bind to tubulin
This motor protein ain’t stoppin’

Oooh, the second US civil war may still be on but not in the way we first thought.

Looks like foreground guy is drawing across range.

🤦

Fuck’s sake.

Let me get the black mirror so we can have more of this shit .

In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

Scientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, but

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Clearly I remember
Pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin’
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Scientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something the others wouldn’t mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Try to forget this… (try to forget this)
Try to erase this… (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paper

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

I assume they mean “just north of Antarctica”. But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.

Got to say, I don’t really understand. But words ending with the -demic morpheme aren’t used lightly where I’m from and still mean what they do. I assume that’s what’s going on in this comment.

There’s no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn’t a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I’ll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver’s licence…

hopeful-weirdo just needs to be told to consider what increasing by 500% means and it’ll click.

Someone vomitted to death. I’d probably rather the cancer and wolf combo.

Yeah. It sounds more like he could be Ant-Man and is able to pick up on the trails. If he can communicate with them by twreking his butt into the ground, I’m convinced.

Not to alarm anyone, but unless you’re doing the 100m in around 11s or less, current large crocodiles are still faster than you. But if you’re fit enough to keep the speed going, you should outlast them over short enough distance.

And if you can’t do any of that, well you’ll have to run lateral to it and hope your agility out maneouvers them.

It’s like being subscribed to a toddler in the “why” phase.

Nah. It starts out like THUD! THUD! and then slowly after a couple minutes of warming up, that goes all muffled and it becomes that familiar high-pitched ringing noise.

Ha, I have a friend called Rani

I like to say, “Stastically you’re much more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the beach than be attacked by a shark once there.”

So people are less afraid of sharks and more afraid of each other, like it should be.

Sorry. It’s easy for me to say, “Be more positive!” when my feet have never been in your shoes. Sorry if it seemed patronising in any way—its good advice, I’m just bad with choice of words a lot of the time. You seemed to understand my point, though. Perhaps a good (paraphrased) analogy is one I learned in Uganda; don’t use the poisoned well lest it poisons you, lest you poison those that don’t use the well.

And I’d like to remind you that you can do, literally, whatever you want at any time. The only considerations are consequences. You can literally murder the next person you see, in the same way you can just walk off and start your journey. One has consequences of prison lol, but the other… well, who knows?

This mindset has saved my life in hard times. Where everything felt awful. Walking away from it seemed so much more obvious than staying. What’s the worst that could happen? I’m happier? Haha. Yep. Time to just start walking. No plan, no direction, just knowing “I can not do this any more and I won’t be here any more.”

You’ll be surprised how rapidly thing start becoming good when you leave the bad. Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t be in a rut. You’ll never live otherwise.

Oh, I know. And I’m currently setting up audits on qualifications and alignment to our nation’s higher education standards…at a research university.

I’ve already had industry colleagues remind me of that time a major university here had a big grant puller non-chalantly say, “I never actually completed my PhD” thinking it was just gonna go down totally fine because of how much his reputation pulled research money in over the years.

Clearly a very smart human that contributed a lot, but that’s not how academia works and obviously an atomic bomb went off with fiends lined up for the scraps while the CFO weeps.

This is my big fear. If I stumble across something like this, I’m quitting for something less stressful like pest control, test piloting, or child care.

My Indian friends tell me that Indian people are the most racist people in the world, to other Indians. That’s the biggest problem and why they left. You’re clearly a part of that. A traditional caste system and the usual socioeconomical issues of a large population obviously won’t help. These seem to be the cores of your issues. It’s not your fault, but you shouldn’t participate in that bullshit by saying such things and having such a defeated mindset.

You need to travel. You need to leave.

After you travel, you can self-assess under a more experienced and open perspective. You will likely not want to return, but you will not be hitting the world so jaded and focused on competitive success within society. You will relax, you will get options, you will settle into a comfortable life and in a few years you will complain about the mediocrity of being middle-class instead.

“But I can’t travel.”

Yes you can. You have plenty of skillsets that will earn you more money per hour elsewhere. All the while building up friendships, networks, and experiences. Your only issue is visas which you co-ordinate as you go. For now, much of the western world is very open to Asian immigrants and you’d be foolish to not jump on it while it’s still an option. Target the richer nations with low unemployment rates and you’ll find secure work.

Your main issue will be later when domestic family want part of what you’ve gained. That’s up to you. I have a friend that I found out was giving more than half his income back home because $60K AUD seems huge to people not paying $550 a week in rent. And I’ve also got a friend that, after her father died, threw her middle fingers to family and India vowing to never return.

Your situation is harder to endure than just leaving. But the amount of blame and hate you put on your circumstances makes me wonder if you can even realise that.

But as a white guy with 13 friends from Nepal, India, and Bangladesh, I’d like to think my advice isn’t entirely disregardable, as it’s indirectly from them.

Edit: Ah shit, I forgot that apart from visas your only other issue will be racism. It really depends on the industry and nation, but obviously there will be those anti-immigration even though they don’t realise immigration Is saving their fucking livelihood. Plus, if you talk about India and Indians the way you did In your post, you’ll fit right in with them lol—thats not a good thing long-term, but I guess an odd uptick (???)

Point is, whoever you are, you were born and will die. Go find a place in the world that you’re not miserable in. That’s your current meaning in life.
