i cant imagine moving to the US by choice but to each their own



the thought of being surrounded by ordinary americans is a big turn off but they have good research programs. netherlands is another good pick because they do a lot of phil of mind/science which is my area. so does spain interestingly enough. germany is hit and miss.

its more the thought of being surrounded by american cops and food and beer, the proportion of decent people would have to be similar to straya

the university of alberta had a pretty strong phil mind/science presence when I was there, but it was focused on AI garbage. they also had a badass marxist-feminist levinas scholar who did work on heterodox epistimologies (that's an academia dogwhistle for The Immortal Science,) she pretty much redeemed the entire department for me. i hope she's doing well.

i'm going to argue respectively against the dj cat. University in the states is ridiculously expensive, as is healthcare. Seasonal affective disorder is also a thing. Don't give the United States government any money.



the idea is to get scholarship/grant money which I have been told by some professors from the US is very achievable on the strength of my publications. i was told "apply anywhere and youll get in" so i'd be getting paid to do a Phd basically. otherwise its not worth even thnking about

i ask because i quit being a lawyer for a while, spent a few months ineffectually fumbling around for something better to do with my life, became a postman for the last month and a half, but am now thinking of being a lawyer again out of a combination of revealed circumstances (my original plan was to transfer from the town i currently work in which is almost 40 miles away to the town i live in, except the latter has an atrocious reputation for stress and poor management that was also attested to by people i met in trainings who work there), bourgeois weakness (50 hours and 6 days a week of moderate physical labor with barely any time to pss or eat is actually really hard! and that's without having to deal with much of the hard weather--the regulars all talk about the winter/christmas season like WWI troops convalescing off the western front) and laudable principle (the new legal shit i'm looking at is still related to tribal law, and even though it isn't quite as desperately necessary as the legal aid work i completely, abjectly, narrowly-avoiding-catastrophically burned out on, it would involve strengthening indigenous institutions which is still Good, and also I miss being in touch with the community and members thereof i've done most of my work with)

so stress/mental health management is Relevant To My Interests

Tulsi is great, yeah, i would just drink the tea but then i kind of ran out and forgot about it. Ashwaghanda definitely made me a bit too aggressive, made me hate my sedentary job and grind my teeth in frustration when combined with coffee and monotonous tasks. Gotu kola is ok but sorta messed with my stomach, only tried the extract. Amla is awesome but then on that note the best thing that i’ve done recently out of all this random shit i have done is Megadosing Vitamin C in the form of like 4 limes in the morning has been extremely helpful. mainly have been avoiding writing a longpost on supplements and mental health out of the strange redditesque shame i have towards how much time researching and money i spent on this unholy collection of bottles that looms in my closet as a reminder that not too long ago i was on the verge of mental breakdown but have been able to conquer it more or less by trying random shit + cutting out coffee. i dont take much now, just maca, sometimes camu camu for vit C, a vitamin E and these two things that i feel have been super helpful for my alcohol ridden body: EpiCor and NAC for digestion and liver

for yer health

Well, if you quit, things are just going to be that much harder on your coworkers. And in this economy, there's really not a lot of opportunities for quitters. Beside that, you should really be sticking around to sabotage things and ruin your boss's life. But sure. Go ahead and walk away. It's not like I know exactly what I'm talking about because I'm incredibly intelligent and make the best posts online at any hour of the day.

Real talk though it is hard to come up with ways to sabotage things that make bossman's life harder without making things harder for your coworkers. And the fuckers know that.

his work sent him a letter more or less saying they were documenting personal reasons for his future termination and imo that's usually the smartest time to quit a job
