  • A lot of people around me tend to parrot that a lot of the safety measures are not for explosives detection, but for drug trafficking prevention. I’ve always disagreed because nobody ever presented any evidence to it, and the measures in place do come from explosive detection (unless they have metal drugs now idk). But I’ve wondered whether there is some truth to it.

    Star Trek The Next Generation

    Skip episode 1, “Encounter at Farpoint”. It sucks all around. Watch it later if you’re really curious but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    If you want to check out a “representative” episode, see Season 5 Episode 2. (edit: the episode is named Darmok) You don’t have to know everything going in, it’s self-contained. If you like the episode you’ll like Star Trek.




  • Everyone is saying that the meme makes no sense but it’s totally me… And it’s not even a question of her being “out of my league” in my case. I just find (or make up…) a reason to swipe left. Usually channeling my inner social Marie Kondo and saying “this one does not spark joy”. I was swiping right on under 6% of profiles I saw (I asked for my stats before leaving Tinder)

    It meant that over a period of one month of using Tinder, I only got a single match. This did not help my self esteem at all (despite being a problem of my own making!) so I decided to just quit Tinder for now. In reality, my unreasonable selectivity is just a symptom that I’m not ready to date right now. My plan is to keep healing (I’m in therapy too) and eventually return to the world of dating apps, this time with a different mindset.







  • I also think that when I see people of that age married or with kids. But I think it’s just because of our different life experiences.

    I opted to enroll in a PhD right after graduating and so, at 30, I still feel like my life isn’t at a point when I can start thinking about kids or marriage. But I know a lot of people enter relatively stable jobs as soon as they graduate university (or high school, although in my circles everyone went to university - it’s not as expensive as in the US here). I can understand people in that position starting to think about family earlier than me.
