this isn't fair but i have some martial arts training that i switch in and out of when i get bored of calisthenics, but i've also been incorporating gymnastic stuff.

that means each day i choose something to focus on (upper body, core, legs, coordination) and move between yoga, calisthenics, and martial arts drills (with and without escrima sticks).

having goals like being able to flip around or punch at a certain rate really makes getting in shape actually feel like it matters.

when i get a set routine, i'll post it, but i'm too undisciplined to do anything but play it by ear each morning. i can feel what my body needs.

That's just kind of what we all treat this place as, someplace we can go to spill our sorrows and some of our joys, anonymous or namefriend.

I read in a fiction book once that psychologists were actually trying to supplant a role that had previously been fulfilled by Priests. Not to demean people with real psychological issues or the folks that work at trying to help them get better, but essentially you can get a lot of mileage, emotionally, out of just spilling your guts to someone. In a public setting, this was more commonly fulfilled by telling your woes and "sins" to a Priest in a Confessional, with the Priest acting as a third-party that could give you advice from a relatively neutral perspective, or even act as a blind relay between various parties who were all part of their Parish.

I don't know if it's quite the same but the internet in general seems to fulfill that role for a lot of people now. Psychology has always had trouble being accepted as a "hard" science because so much of it is just speculation. Hopefully it will get more credibility if it starts incorporating brain scans and neurological definitions based on biological reality.

Until then, we have the bathroom wall of the internet.

Turns out disagreeing with the Admin on a forum I've been on for years about feminism gets me banned. First time that's happened. Probably won't go back, the only thing that ever updated was the pony thread. It's a shame, really got to actually know people there.

Also my coworker who said I have no life for playing vidya and reading spends 400 a month on fantasy football. I can't stop laughing.

Someone brought up Quiet from MGS V. Tried to say that its offensive. I pointed out that there are female characters who where about as much in the series with zero complaints. I also pointed out the entire Raiden running around bare naked, as well as the fact that the male protagonists have at least one scene or more in undress. Then you get into the fact that Quiet's design isn't that outrageous in a series with giant Inuits, 100 year old snipers and cyborg ninjas. Plus the MGS series gave us strong female characters like Meryl (who really didn't get used as much as she should), Sniper Wolf, Olga and the Boss. I pointed all this out. The admin accused me of dismissing the point and I was using strawman arguments so much I should just put a ring on it. I told him that wasn't legal in my state and BAM.

Banned. I'll admit I'm not the most sensitive person but I find some of this social justice stuff silly when there are issues in real life that are much more in dire need of attention. A Japanese dude putting a woman in a swimsuit seems like a silly thing to have a priority about. Especially since the Japanese could care less.

Considering her primary skills stem from being a silent sniper she's not really that outrageous, especially because as Dr. Nick pointed out she's far from alone in this kind of thing, Sniper Wolf left her tits hanging out while laying in the snow in sub zero temperatures for example.

But yes, a lot wrong with her design though I like the idea of octo-camo face paint, I saw one guy erroneously defending that she dressed that way because of the desert setting which doesn't make sense because in a desert exposed skin is burned skin.

So yeah, in my opinion nothing out of the way of Metal Gears treatment of women who while impractically sexy are usually written very well. The design could be way better, though the character really interests me as I'm curious about the reasons for her silence.

Why is grad school application stuff so confusing and exhausting :(
I finally got my list of (ten) schools I want to apply to for computer science, focusing on computer graphics and virtual reality and all that fun visualization/simulation stuff, and some days it feels like
"yeah this is doable"
and other days it's like
"god why would any of these schools ever take me, i really just want to go and do research and work on new problems forever so a PhD sounds good, but will any school ever take me as a PhD student with next to no real research experience, maybe I should just apply as a Master's student and get some experience first, but then the schools only rarely help MS students financially even for TA positions like seriously just let me teach I'd be good at it and would try really hard and I have teaching experience, but at almost all the schools it sounds like if an MS student gets anything it's just the dregs and I don't know if I can afford that, so I'll apply to a couple Canadian universities because I hear rumors that they are slightly kinder to Master's students, and maybe I'll try to hedge my bets and apply for some as MS and some as PhD, oh god do I need to mention that to my recommenders since they'll probably get a mention of what kind of program i'm doing when they get the email and they'll probably think I'm just an unconfident person feebly trying to game the system which I am and none of this makes sense, I just want to get into working on new stuff for humanity instead of working on gluing together yet another boring corporate enterprise middleware web app but i don't know if I'm good enough to play with the big boys or rich enough to play with the slightly-less big boys how do i move forward like at all"

Yeah I haven't had time to really look at it until now but the mesh leggins are a huge disconnect. It's not a great character design anyway but like you say, if it was more standard combat gear and she was just wearing a bra and ammo belts up top, at least there'd kind of be precedence in the MGS universe.

I'd advise against even trying to get into PhD programs unless you know a guy.

>Master's don't pay shit

A lot of Master's programs pay literally nothing (i.e., enjoy paying off student loans until you're 50), and the few that do pay/waive tuition are never going to pay very well (I made $2,000 during my first year as a Master's student, and even that was when I lived rent-free). PS: they gone make you work for it too, gurl.

Basically, it's hard getting those higher degrees. It never gets easier. Ever.

Ugh, dating sites are the worst, you'd have better luck standing on a street corner and shouting your phone number.

In the first few months you will get 500 responses from foreigners asking to cam (Turkey for some reason) and a random mishmash of people who lie about their pics, who have insane exes or who are insane themselves.

I met the girl I'm dating on a site. She's only maybe the 5th girl I'd met from one and she's rad. Slightly neurotic and weird but so am I.

However, having made an experimental girl profile to see what that would be like as someone of the opposite gender, I've become more acquainted with the toolbox that is the male online dating pool.

it's so funny. as a guy, i strive to write genuine and thoughtful messages. the only ones i'd even remotely consider while sifting through the ones i received were the genuine ones that were easy to read, slightly vulnerable/honest, acknowledged the stuff in the profile, and not at all presumptive about who i was or what we'd do.

which makes me uncertain if i'm only "choosing" messages based on what i'd write to girls or if i'm writing to girls what i think i'd like to read. i don't know. but i get dates occasionally, so something must be going properly.

whoa. got off point for a bit. the point is that a lot of guys write essentially (or literally) copy and paste messages which take up so much inbox space. does that shit ever work? it's so obvious that it's boilerplate. who would ever fall for that?

Hey, how long does it take for symptoms of tetanus to kick in?

it depends on the site of infection. you begin experiencing symptoms once it hits your central nervous system. if you have not received a tetanus vaccine in the last ten years and you have just received a deep puncture wound from stepping on a dirty nail outdoors, you should probably go to the doctor's to get another shot of the vaccine.

you probably don't have tetanus. if you stepped on a tack or something that has probably never been outside your house, that will not be long enough or covered in the bacteria that cause tetanus to give you the disease. just go to the doctor if your jaw muscles start to feel weird, but if vaccinations are free where you live, you should probably get vaccinated again anyway if you're over the 10 year mark (you probably got it in school once when you were 7). better safe than sorry.

Can't find a ban for the IP associated with that post. Probably just the site fucking up. Sorry.

that's my post, not yours. i don't know what your post was but it wasn't informative about tetanus, i know that much.

I fell on a nail. It didn't puncture, but it gave me a good scratch. Left calf.

you should be fine if you've thoroughly disinfected the wound. tetanus is associated with rusty nails because rust is a sign that it's been exposed to the elements (and thus possibly the bacteria that cause tetanus) and puncture wounds as much harder to clean than cuts are. getting injured on a rusty thing doesn't equal tetanus because rust doesn't cause tetanus. also, it's pretty rare in north america.

if you get spasms in your jaw a week or two after the fact then i might be wrong and you do in fact have tetanus. if you're scared that you got it then go to the doctor. the doctor will give you the vaccine as a countermeasure and you won't get lockjaw and seize up anymore. plus you will be immune to tetanus for about a decade afterwards, so even if you were scared for nothing now, if you do step on a rusty nail later that was covered in C. tetani, you won't need to go on +4 to ask how long it will take until you die.

That's what I mostly hated about dating sites. File out tons of forms to get artificially matched up against other people who hit the same pre-defined options you were presented with. And that still didn't really matter as talking to girls is what really got you into any kind of relationship to begin with. And like half the girls I talked to, in th time I talked to them they ended up dropping off the site, not because of me but ostensibly because of the never-ending douchebag parade.
