  • I don't know about the RMB, that place is too chaotic, and for me it stops loading if I try to go too far back anyway.

    I meant as in your first forum post was October 19th, 2016, and your last prior to your return was October 25th, 2016. Made me wonder if this is just going to be a thing where you show up for exactly one week every year in October, meaning we need to make good use of your presence now, probably starting with an AMA, before we lose you for another year in a few days.

    Might not be enough data to make a conclusion like that, but I have no evidence that contradicts this pattern yet.
    I noticed that and had a lil' giggle at the coincidence. Maybe it's an unconscious thing? Who knowwws. All I know is that I'm stressed, mildly depressed, and under duress.
    Hi everyone,

    I turn 34 this Sunday.

    Hope it will go well for me.

    I've been fighting depression for a while.  There's only so much I can hold out fighting it......:-/

  • The first one wasnt bad, I quite enjoyed it. The second one was just so average and full of so much boring filler.

    The first one was a fairly amusing quasi-parody/deconstruction of the Bond film genre. Was looking forward to the second one...

  • I wish I had gone into STEM from the start instead of jerking myself around in law. I didn't even have the prerequisites for any sort of STEM program because I thought I sucked at math in high school and avoided picking the tougher streams. I had to do them over the summer via distance learning. Turns out that if you put me and a math book alone in a room, we get on pretty damn well.

    Ah, well. Got two 100s and a 93 to date on my midterms.

  • I liked (and still like) the theory. I like the certainty on paper, that there are rules that direct relationships between people and other people or entities borne out of them like governments or corporations. But you know as well as I do that it doesn't work like that in practice. The practice of law is political in nature, not only in the common sense of the word but also in the emphasis there is on networking and the relationships between people.

    I realized that quite early on, but I was weighing my options. I wanted to graduate because my mom was proud of my being the first person in the family to attend uni, in law no less. Besides, law grads don't have to be lawyers. After graduating, I took a year, did some other stuff, nothing panned out. Since everything I did up until then was within the realm of the humanities and I saw no future for me there, I took a shot in the dark and decided to check out the realm of the sciences. I chose a few programs, went to audit, picked the one I liked best and completed the classes I lacked for admission in adult education.

    I'm a heavy-duty bookworm. I don't do people. I have a Boolean mind. True/false, one/zero. I was better suited for STEM to begin with, but for numerous reasons never really considered it until then.

    I don't regret the time I spent there per se. It was (sometimes) fun and interesting. But I'm relieved I don't have to do that as a living.

  • I think if I were to choose another career area it'd be in psychology, sociology, or maybe even politics (though I despise how modern politics are carried out). As I get older, I've come to realize that I want to make a difference in the lives of others and alleiviate their emotional suffering, as I posted sometime before. I do what I can here, through Wintreath, and I think that's the source of my passion for Wintreath. I've never seen it as just a NS region or just a community, but as a model of an accepting, welcoming community that encourages things that make people feel happier or better able to be themselves or relate in a way they can't offline.

    I've been told that I'd make a good therapist though, in spite of my many social flaws, and there's something appealing about helping people develop the tools to help overcome their struggles...as for politics, I dunno, I like the noble ideas of doing good for your constituents and having the power to help people en masse, but I'd detest how the sausage got made, so to speak. I dislike NS gameplay for some of those reasons, I can't imagine I'd like the real thing any better.
