19·3 days agoIn Japan, an itasha (痛車; literally “painful” or “cringeworthy”[1][2] + “car”) is a car decorated with images of characters from anime, manga, or video games (especially bishōjo games or eroge). The decorations usually involve paint schemes and stickers. The cars are seen prominently in places such as Akihabara (Tokyo), Nipponbashi (Osaka), or Ōsu (Nagoya), or Itasha-based events, such as Odaiba Itasha Tengoku.

p.s. I think it’s cool, I wouldn’t own one but wtf you be you
Piefed Game Changer number 1: Custom feeds, ex:
that way I can look at non-tech non-politics stuff (either few memes or all memes) when I want.
Piefed Game Changer number 2: Scheduled posts. That way when I got free time I can make a bunch of posts and schedule them over the next couple days or weeks.
I still keep a Lemmy account bc a couple things are still easier there. Plus to see what the posts look like to other people.
yeah fam they’re killer: https://shepastawayofficial.bandcamp.com/music

10·5 days agoYeah, there are a fair number of hi-quality comments, but they’re often buried (like this one above - it was 3 deep in a shitposting community.) Also, if you see a post with a single comment, I often debate if it’s worth it to look, on the chance that it’s a high-quality comment.
my background is a niche military specialty
If you haven’t already, check out the various history & military history subs, most are listed here: https://piefed.social/f/pugmigration
They ran the numbers and decided they don’t need you. are you going to stick around there even when they treat you like shit? Take what you can from there, but it’s not your “home”.

- In the US some professors focus on teaching, but many others also do research
- most professors who do research go to conferences, where they meet and befriend other researchers from other countries
- they also get “in the loop” on e-mail lists, announcement web pages, social media locations etc. (these are not secret, you can usually find them yourself)
- So: if a professor in Europe happens to get funding to support new students, they will probably announce it somewhere and/or discuss it with their peers
All this is background for the following advice: Figure out what professors in your university are likely “in the loop” with professors in Europe. Do this by looking at their web pages, social media, etc. and seeing which ones have published recently. (it does not have to be a European venue or with European collaborators.) Especially look at professors you have taken classes with, especially if you did well. Then go talk to those professors and ask them for advice and leads. At minimum they will tell you the good schools to go to. If you did any projects for them, get a recc letter. If you’re really lucky maybe they’ll put you in touch with someone.
btw that whole paragraph about cultural depictions of male competence – I agree that we are all subject to oppresive social structures, but if you’re not careful that can start to sound insensitive. and it’s not really relevant to your larger point, I’d avoid it in your upcoming conversations.
ooh I was thinking of this person: https://hachyderm.io/@combatwombat
I didn’t realize there was a whole platoon of such wombats.
Oh, hey, are you the same Combat Wombat from the mastodon watch parties?
Just in case no Japanese people answer, check this out for comparison:

My guess is the kid’s asking for a favor, but making a bit of a joke about it.
She said she’s a traditional girl, etc. I took that to mean … So I rambled about…
That right there is where you oughta be doing a lot more listening than assuming.
Wow, thanks!
idk how to help you, but this image helped me:
Hmmm I dunno but here are a bunch of links on lemmy to most of those communities:
Whenever I recommend lemmy to friends, I point them to my feeds of non-politics, non-tech communities:
Research VS Reality…?
Research IS reality. Academic consensus from a field of experts is far more reliable than any anectodes you’re going to find here.
Maybe you’re an exception. Sure, that’s a possibility. A doctor who knows your medical history and can meet with you over time will be able to tell that. You can do “virtual visits” if you’re low on time.
Other than that, you’re in danger of just latching on to whatever anectode tells you what you want to hear.
I can’t tell if you’re being ironic or not. But if you are, you should post on [email protected]
