Swampy Summit, Otago Superthread

[coolian2]

Oh shit I forgot to say in my last post something nobody has said in ages

15'd.

 

[Mack_Again]

Find out and report back.

yeah I will be doing that after I'm done with this grad school admission situation I'm in. academia seems to be the shittiest job i can imagine but I guess I wanna be in it.

 

[Mack_Again]

FINE I'D FLY

Happy now?

yes, because swimming is for plebs.

 

[coolian2]

What the fuck is it about this thread and wanting to learn/educate?

 

[coolian2]

yes, because swimming is for plebs.

Come here in the middle of January and say that.

i often forget that you guys are living on the other half of the earth.

 

[coolian2]

LOL almost exactly:

Me: The type of girl I like normally doesn't like me
Her: lol what's your type?
Me: I matched with you. Guess.

Yeah we have to do something with it.

To be honest we could use more supervision.

 

[Mack_Again]

not that I really want to go to graduate school but I wanna do research in bio and to do that I apparently need Ph D. obviously i don't want to be in this feudal system/labs.

what if she's got informatics degree and really good at analyzing data?

Oh must you?

 

[coolian2]

Hang on if I can multitask, you have no excuses either.

 

[Mack_Again]

dammit im also babbling nonsense, it seems.

I wish i had some informatics background. that could've prevented me from being useless garbage.

Have a fucking radio degree and come back to me.

(I suppose the five years in banking kinda helps me a bit...)

 

[Mack_Again]

5 years in banking is certainly more practical, I'm sure.

also I'm starting to be pseudo jazz fanatic.

 

[Mack_Again]

where's Vlad at?

 

[coolian2]

also I'm starting to be pseudo jazz fanatic.

It was mainly dealing with morons. Some of them were customers too. I swear in my last year after I got promoted I had to tell off too many people to care anymore.

Don't. Jazz fans are like vegans. Be an enthusiast.

Wow now there's a real relic of the glory days.

I swear vegans enjoy pissing off the people they want to convert more than they actually enjoy converting them.

 

[Mack_Again]

I might learn jazz guitar (instead of way-too-much-Thurston-Moore-inspiration noise playing) because my family really hates me who's not playing the instrument in the "right way" Im not a real jazz fanatic yet because I can't be THAT pretentious.


tbh, I wish people care about biology more and agree to fund researches. i mean, look at US academia, they can only care about money because they need to compete for funds so hard.

I probably can be pescatarian but i probably won't be full on vegan.

 

[coolian2]

Wow now there's a real relic of the glory days.

I know. Feeling like my beard is grayer than normal suddenly

 

[Mack_Again]

i googled John Scofield yesterday but I stopped immediately after realizing i can't ever be that great at jazz.

I shouldn't feel old as I'm still 22 but I kinda had to whenever people say they don't remember seeing VHS or MiniDisks. or even TLC.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I wonder when Vlad might say anything

I've been reading the last 10 pages that's why.

i don't know why but I felt this weird, complex feeling when i saw this update on my phone.

I just got dumped by a 20 year old.

JUST CHILL.

Pescetarianism is lunacy given that the commercial fishing industry is by far the most environmentally destructive meat industry.

And honestly my advice is to run away from academia if at all possible.

 

[coolian2]

Actually I saw something the other day I've not seen in years - a smashed cassette tape on the side of the road and spools of reel just hanging out wildly. I haven't seen than since the early 2000s.

 

[coolian2]

Is it spools of reel? What the fuck did we call it?

well I'm well aware of that but you can't really avoid fish/anything coming from the sea if you're living here. I really want to, but I really can't. I wish people just stop farming shrimps and other small sea creatures in such an destructive methods; grow larger fish instead, as they are, at least, little bit better than fucking shrimp farming. Also Japanese people don't give a shit about environment so it doesn't help.
