I like how much power you are giving to a person you despise. Now he can decide what you believe or not simply by bringing any random fact up he wants.

I take a small break from doing requests for others for the collab to do things for myself and I end up having nightmares about not having enough time and feeling awful for it.
 
Being happy is an impossible task.

@LightningBolt
 
Don’t feel too bad, it’s a lot to do. Perhaps have like a limit of request slots for a certain time frame (if you don’t already) to make it more manageable?

@Commune
 
I’m honestly surprised that Shaun King isn’t justifying it or saying some bullshit like, “Now you know how blacks feel about this.” Like when Deray made that “Whiteness will explain anything” tweet after that white couple got shot on live TV by a black man.

I’m tired of having no sleep.
 
I wake up, do some work for various tasks, then go to sleep for about 3-4 hours. It has became a staple of my life at this point, and it’s causing nothing but headaches to me.

Finally finished this blasted research proposal. 20 pages of research, literature reviews, and hand-building scales.
 
Now to work on my two tests…which combined will be about 20-25 pages worth of writing.

@Zincy  
That’s a lot of work!

@Prince Areo
 
That’s grad school.
 
People don’t think it’s hard, but it is. On average I read anywhere from 30 to 40 pages of research articles a week. I give several presentations each month, and do “facilitation” where I teach the occasional grad level class. As well as draft research proposals.
 
I have take home tests that sound great on paper, since you do them at home. But they take a week to do, and end up 10 to 15 pages long and require reading through several articles per question. I also have to do major statistical analysis each week, spending several hours on SpSs.
 
On top of this I help a research lab, and I teach a research methods lab for 36 undergrads (and grade the papers from it). I also hold two hours of office hours each week. And attend mandatory colloquiums.

@Zincy  
That’s an overwhelming tasks you got there.

@Prince Areo
 
Meanwhile, you have blathering idiots (such as at least 2 on this site) that support the GOP tax plan that would strip grad students of our meager stipends and cry from their urine soaked basements that those who are striving to better themselves should “get a real job”. Not realizing that graduate study is a full time job that barely pays for itself.
 
Our tuition wavers are paid for through hours of research, data analysis, teaching, and grading. And the government wants to take that from us.
 
All the while most of them are probably getting welfare pay checks from daddy government. While saying that the waivers we work hard for shouldn’t be given to us.

@Zincy  
Well I’m trying to find a second job after I lost my first one. The only thing I could do is better myself by exercising, eating healthier and getting the help I need to survive.

@Prince Areo
 
What was your last job?
 
If you’re handy with computers, data analytics is a booming field.

@Zincy  
My last job is Sonic-Drive in. Couldn’t handle it. Deaf on my right ear, can hear on my left. Plus, Autism doesn’t help with all the noises. The only thing I could have a job that is quiet is Half Price Books store. I can handle it.

@Prince Areo
 
Data entry would he a good field for you.
 
You’re pretty much just left to your own devices, given a task, and set to work in a typically fairly quiet environment.

@Zincy  
That could work. But I would always get distracted if left to my own devices.

@Prince Areo
 
You’re still under a time limit, typically. And would have a supervisor.
 
I’ve never done it myself, but I’ve watched the GA’s do it.

@Zincy  
Thanks. I already have some agencies working for me to help me get a second job soon. Redemption is coming for me! :)

So may people, so many individuals and groups that I genuinely hate, so much joy I’d get at watching their worlds crumble and burn.

My housemates never wash their own dishes!!!

@SeraphimDawn  
…did he get a tan at least?

SJWs are cancer.
 
I’m sure you all have heard of the new of a beautiful and promising porn actress who committed suicide after being cyber bullied for saying that she preferred sleeping with people who don’t have HIV. Apparently that was considered “offensive” to some dipshits on Twitter who relentlessly harassed her day in and day out until she ended herself.
 
This is the type of toxic and intolerant politically correct environment people like Anita Sarkessian have been pushing for.
 
This is the shit that pisses me off. Pisses a lot of people off.  
It’s not right…

@Badheart  
I don’t think he activated the microwave. Just used the oven as a mould.  
I don’t know why he’d use that out of many things he could have used.

@SeraphimDawn  
It might have been a dare…
 
to be stupid 😎

@SeraphimDawn
 
While I don’t support cyber bullying, reading her tweets she did basically insinuate that gay porn actors all have HIV.
 
She didn’t say “I don’t want to sleep with HIV positive people”.
 
She said she won’t sleep with anyone who has shot gay porn for vauge “safety” reasons. Not exactly a kosher thing to say.
 
But yes, the online abuse she received afterwards was uncalled for.
