embarrassment is the cost of entry.

if you aren't willing to look like a foolish beginner, you'll never become a graceful master.

you serve the drink, they take a sip. it ticks down to 98% and they whisper “oh thank god”

Actually the real reason I transitioned was because my parents joked so many times about returning me to the child store I decided to void the warranty.

cipheramnesia

Actually the real reason I transitioned was my dad complained about women in golf so much I knew it was a sure fire way to make him stop trying to teach me golf.

cipheramnesia

Actually the real reason I transitioned was because I'm really supportive of my wife but I wanted to make shopping for their tampons feel less awkward.

cipheramnesia

Actually the real reason I transitioned was to prove to a point about the ending of the Scottish play to my 8th grade English teacher.

cipheramnesia

Actually the real reason I transitioned was because slutty shorts for men went out of style and I couldn't give them up.

Actually the real reason I transitioned was because I needed a good picture to get on Tinder, but I didn't want to hold up a fish.

alright I'm almost finished Project Hail Mary, and I have to say, I don't get why people are shipping the guy with Markiplier when he's already in a perfectly healthy queer-platonic relationship with the alien spider made of rocks

pangur-and-grim

"i feel besquintled", said no one ever. because that's not a word.

Character has a PhD: they’re really smart and knowledgable about their field!

Character has 2 PhDs: either they did a dual degree program and are braggy about it, had a life-changing experience after their first degree and pivoted their whole career, or they find the structure of being a PhD student, despite all its stress, more comfortable and familiar than the stress of finding a Real Job and have a very indulgent advisor.

Character has 3 PhDs: who keeps accepting them to PhD programs. Either this person needs psychological help or their department needs to be investigated for its academic standards. Probably both

Character has 4+ PhDs: if they aren’t an undercover vampire or something then no they don’t lol

Alternatively: this character is some kind of rock star celebrity in their field and has a bunch of honorary degrees from several different institutions, and also this story takes place before most universities adopted a separate postnominal for honorary doctorates specifically to avoid this sort of confusion.

I mean, a PHD. is just a piece of paper that attests that experts in a field have confirmed you as a fellow expert. Is it so inconceivable that the person applying for a phd. already has practical knowledge of the field in question and thus doesn't have to commit as much time toward its aquisition?

specialagentartemis

Yes, because that’s not really what a PhD is. A PhD isn’t a certification that you’re an expert, per se; a PhD means you have been through a graduate program and learned how to do original research in an academic setting. It means you have gained a lot of expertise in a certain topic, but much more importantly, it shows that you understand the academic process of how to design, conduct, and publish research in that topic. It confirms you as a fellow academic who knows what you’re doing. The important point is that these skills are highly transferrable—you generally do not need to learn to do research again, unless the field is very different from your degree (e.g., literature and biology have very different research expectations). Once you have a PhD, you just go out there and… do research now. If you already have practical knowledge of the field in question you don’t go through the whole learning-and-certification process again, you just go do research.
