nahh |
evilford
02.23.21 | Thanks lol
Dude iron monkey is absolutely one of my favorite sludge bands. No one else crushes quite like they do
Been a while since I was in school but I definitely remember that burnout is a real thing |
unclereich
02.23.21 | I think I was in school longer than anyone on sput that isn’t a doctor. Took me almost 9 years to get 2 pieces of paper. Hang in there my old sput friend. I thought about quitting many times along the way but I finally finished this past December and the weight of the world is off me. Plus I should be able to find the jobie I want too pretty quick here. Being burnt out is my middle name, if you ever have any questions on how to get thru it hmu, tho it’s probably different for everyone in terms of beating burn out. |
evilford
02.23.21 | Uncle burnout reich
But yeah I can attest to the fact that once you're finished, a tremendous weight is lifted and it's most likely worth it.
Hmu if u need some dm or sludge recs to get u thru studyin! |
Ryus
02.23.21 | thx reichy, i think part of the problem is i know im so close to the finish line and i just want to be out in the real world which is a terrible mindset to have lmao. also just in general not having the best time in college for a variety of reasons. ill be okay tho : ]
@ford < 3 will do |

02.23.21 | Dude that is the same mindset everyone gets as a junior. And idk about you but zoom school made me want to die so that’s probably compounding that issue. Socializing even in terms of just going to class sitting down and doing group work is so fucking underrated and sorely missed/needed for lots of students right now |
Ryus
02.23.21 | "Dude that is the same mindset everyone gets as a junior." haha not the workaholics ive surrounded myself with. but yeah it is common 4 sure
and yeah online classes have been fucking terrible. counting on things getting a lot better after thats over |

02.23.21 | >I got tired of being surrounded by groupthink. If you lived here you’d understand
mm on the contrary i think people outside the united states are more likely to realise that the two choices you are presented with in your country are not at all equally valid or equally respectable |

yeah ive done a bit and im involved in a few cs-related things on campus. i like the work a lot but i just wanna be out of college |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | >I don’t think that is unusual or an unfair assertion
you are working under the implicit assumption that the alternative is reasonable, valid and respectable, which it is not.
you have simply bought into the division-sowing propaganda machine of the rich, diverting your resentment away from the rich towards the "other" just like they wanted :] |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | when one side says "yea can you stop treating me like shit" and the other says "no but see these three out of ten million people are insane lunatics and want to take away our [...] and enslave us", it would be a nice exercise in free thinking to see the fearmongering for what it is instead of buying into it |
parksungjoon

maybe not hard but certainly time consuming to give it the level of options and responsiveness that rym has |
Colton
02.23.21 | what does rym have? I heard it's the same as here but with more genres |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | i say this with no disrespect whatsoever to mx, but most of the problems with sput come from the fact that it was made by an amateur at a time when standards were still very low and "best practices" had not yet been properly drilled into people. it would not be ridiculously hard to make something better (in fact it would probably be harder to get all the data into a new db) but it would require a complete redesign |
Colton
02.23.21 | yeah for sure, but it seems like nobody has come along and done something better, which is baffling to me |
Colton
02.23.21 | in terms of functionality I mean |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | >what does rym have? I heard it's the same as here but with more genres
the way it handles alternate artist names, name localisation, splits/collaborations, classical music composition vs rendition, having genres on a per-album basis which can be useful, proper user-voted genres, shows your rating distribution on your profile and a bit of data on it (i think subscribers get more? nt sure, ask ghandhi), infinitely more powerful better database searching, the ability to filter someone's ratings/collection by genre,year,rating,etc
really theres too many list, try it for yourself |
ArsMoriendi
02.23.21 | "what does rym have? I heard it's the same as here but with more genres"
-RYM is better for exploring music on your own, as long as you know what genre tags mean
-Sputnik is better for a personal music community/asking for recs from others/having people really understand your personal taste |
Colton
02.23.21 | Oh you can filter ratings by genre and year?
RIP to my idea then that was all I really wanted |
Ryus
02.23.21 | yea rym got the goods and its only getting better with the new features. rym is where i discover everything, besides everything recommended to me by a sput user |
ArsMoriendi
02.23.21 | As for Ryus's motivation... dude that sucks. Have you done an internship yet? Hands-on experience in your field could motivate you since it'll be closer to your future career than the classroom |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | >and its only getting better with the new features
yea nowadays if you want to be like "mm i wanna see all the black metal albums that are kinda avant-garde" you can totally just search for that. granted it relies on user voting being semi-accurate but you'll always have that "problem" anyway |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | >Hands-on experience in your field could motivate you since it'll be closer to your future career than the classroom
in cs it could also do the opposite depending on where you intern... some classes are really cool and structured in really cool ways that really show you what kinds of cool things you could do with X thing. while a lot of jobs in the real world are actually mind numbing and shitty, even in CS. :D its not the 90s anymore |
porcupinetheater
02.23.21 | Yeah rym has an amazing, thorough, intuitive database.
We’re definitely on Sput for the community and not the functionality lol |
Ryus
02.23.21 | @ars yeah im gonna be interning this summer which im super excited about. its one of the things thats motivating me to get thru this semester |
DaveT0738
02.23.21 | Motivation is unreliable |

ieatbabies795
02.23.21 | Motivation is unreliable [x2]
This. Whenever I think of something like ex: working out, it should never be about motivation because well, I usually don’t FEEL like working out lmao. So yeah discipline and being strict with yourself is more important |
DrMaximus
02.23.21 | i went from polisci to econ then to psych. not sure why i made those changes lol and i sometimes regret them, but at least im done this semester and i can move on. online sucks but not having to drive is amazing - although the tuition for online classes is the same as regular classes for me lmao. I'm sure your motivation will change when this is over |
MO
02.23.21 | sucks ryus but stick with it. i think i'm much older than you and am still doing some school (certification) while working full time with a house and wife. it's always hard times but, at least for me, the key is to set small goals for yourself every day. they don't have to be huge or anything, but enough for you to want to get up and do something that will better your current state.
just remember that the time you put into yourself and your skillset now will pay off down the line |
parksungjoon
02.23.21 | >then to psych
cue all the unwanted questions lol
do you have any insight why some people can spend years and years on places like this and still enjoy the same things, while others are inevitably driven towards noise/drone/etc or meme genres |

Told my parents I was dropping out and everything, and they couldn't do shit because I'm paying for it myself. Mom persuaded to me to at least finish the semester and then decide. I got covid, and being forced to isolate in my room for two weeks ironically saved my entire semester and got me back on my feet. Switched my major from management to accounting, made a linkedin, started connecting with people and participating in shit I never would've done even three months ago, and I'm starting my first internship next week.
