Today I decided that I will be buying a car. Thanks to #DeutscheBahn for being the best possible argument against environmental protection and why no one should really use public transport!

Someone said "corporates are behaving as if they're angry they have to go through you to get your money."

#DeutscheBahn stabbed me in the back again. Today I am stranded, in the middle of nowhere, because my second train had 15ish mins of delay and I'll miss my third.
DBahn is proud of itself for making me cry twice this week. Also I'm catching a cold.

Hating on Deutschebahn today because I have personally been stranded for over an hour in under 5 degrees Celsius weather. The one sentence apology at the end of the announcement not only doesn't mean jackshit, it also makes me wish this same situation on loved ones of whoever is responsible.

For the sake of public knowledge, I'm sharing this:
It has been six months and I'm still trying to get an email back for any of ~20 different robotics/ML phd roles I've applied to in Germany. I don't even need a visa. MSc under 2 + good publications.
Yet, I'm getting ghosted by almost everyone.

Change your chat settings. Maybe someone wants to message you to check on you. 😒
Like, do I need to publicly ask "are you still alive?" since you haven't posted anything in like a month? Some influencers are so irresponsible towards their influencees istg. 🙄

Arrived at Duesseldorf and was chasing a ghost train: one that has already departed but the online plan shows it as being there.

As someone who has been keeping an eye on Berlin's Machine Learning Engineer jobs for the last six months, I have not had a single interview after a good 50+ applications. Not one.
Ghost jobs? They don't like my qualifications and/or experiences? They're sexist? Racist? My personality is an issue?

"We are offering an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated expert to join our company" followed by a ridiculous application procedure that doesn't consider your last boss was an a*hole and your last job gave you mental health disorders. :|

Ngl, I've made 33 posts with no engagement.
A) I'm glad there aren't any feel good bots around here.
B) It feels like talking to a wall. Am I doing it right?
C) Y'all are hurting my feelings. 🥲

I often miss the clue that me sharing my own stories has come across as bragging to some people.
Now I'm not gonna call it jealousy but there's clearly emotional stuff going on, and I just refuse to take responsibility for how others feel about something that in no way directly involves them. There.

A lovely LLM has been a lot more supportive and gave a lot more back and forth with ideas than my actual PhD supervisor. Just saying! 😐

I'm looking for a new PhD supervisor, but I'm constantly getting ghosted by professors. I wish those who ghost me nothing but becoming irrelevant and fading into research oblivion. 😒
They could at least tell me what I'm doing wrong. 😐

I don't know if it's executive dysfunction or Pluto in retrograde or momentarily depression due to socioeconomic state, but I really need a life coach of some sort so I can get off of my ass and do things I should be doing.
The bed is comfortable but I really need to send some emails... 😫

Nothing bothers straight men with inferiority complex, more than trans women.
And I'd like to thank all trans women for that: Your existence is appreciated.

Ooo I learned a new word today:
Conjecture.
I came across it because I cannot, for the life of me, understand what "stochastic" really means. I have read many definitions, particularly when it comes to the stochastic process.
Conjectural seems like a good definition tho!
