#since I have my full team assembled now Im gonna need to chose out a new held item for mantis tho so spider might lose his space globe rip

I love how my first two pmd randomizer teams I characterised them in my head as different flavors of ah goofy and now these new guys are just a bunch of assholes. Just a gaggle of shitheads who think they're better than everyone else. They all hate eachother and think they're the only normal person here. They r also best friends but they do kill eachother on a regular basis.

#rat rambles #I wish that last part was a joke but alas shitty ai moments #also funnily enough dusknoir got randomized to mightyana again (he also did in the last one) so thats convienent #but yeah mantis and moth are no memories rip buddies and their partymembers spider and gnat are their gay worsties (seperate not dating) #moth used to be a different pokemon they know that much but they dont remember anything beyond that #but yeah moth is very polite and anxious to most but to their partymembers they r a lot more blunt and snappy #they value their time greatly and always want to cut to the point when they can and they are also incredibly power hungry #mantis is very Tired and also blunt but they care less abt not upsetting higher ups so they just speak their mind always #this initially pissed moth off but as mantis started saying the things they actually wanted to say for them they tollerated it more #spider is a mismagius and hes very smooth talking thinks hes soooo cool type but he still has a short temper #he also loves poking fun at the others and coincidentally if any of them are killed by another its usually him #and lastly the newest recruit gnat the leafeon. she is loud and confident and is also very ambitious #she is a masterful lier except for the fact that shes always obviously lying but ppl just believe her anyways?? and it drives mantis mad #together they may get the job done but they also may just all kill eachother before they can finish one mission lol #also Ive found so fucking many gold masks its stupid theyre fucking everywhere #Ive also found two space globes which is pretty sick #since I have my full team assembled now Im gonna need to chose out a new held item for mantis tho so spider might lose his space globe rip #if I can get the trap seeing glasses whatever theyre called though he can keep it those things are so fucking useful #its honestly less the trap showing part and more the hidden stairs showing part for me thats twice the stairs on each floor #well theyd be there anyways but like yknow what I mean

Hey - u've mentioned ure in the tech field. Im a neuroscience student, 2nd year. It's not by choice, but my parents' want me to cont. the fam tradition of becoming a doc. I'm financially dependent on them and they've indirectly said they'd cut me off if I don't stick with their plan for me. I can only on what I'm passionate about, to be front end/full stack webdev, in my free time. So i wonder: if i have the skill, do u think i could eventually get become a webdev w/out a compsci degree etc?

similar anon: I'd love to hear more about your research "concerning etools and adaptive frameworks in stem education"! If you don't mind lol

Ohhh this is such an interesting question. So am gonna tailor it towards you but also for others. We all have choices and allowances we make in life and since your an adult now you have to make those choices and allowances. You can chose to fall in line now and not take on debt for school or pursue something your interested in and take on the debt without your parents help. Your very lucky that both your interest fall within extremely well paid fields so luckily any debt you take on the likelihood that you will score a nice salary towards paying it off is pretty high. I will say as a med-senior level engineer the tech field is becoming crazy oversaturated. For example we have a mid level position open on my team now and I think the vetting process is a bit extreme because we have so many candidates we need to find excuses to drop as many as possible. For junior positions its even worse. For a mid to senior role you get 5-10 solid candidates to interview for junior roles you get like 30plus and everyone is good at the junior level. I have been on the intern panels a few times and I look at these interns resumes and I am like jesus these kids have interned at like 3/4 places and at least one big four tech company. 

So serious question can you have an honest convo with your parents about why the title of “dr” matters to them so much? Because this clearly isnt about good pay engineers make large 6 figure salaries that are on par with medical doctors. So this isnt about money or financial potential this is clearly about this title and so I would be honest with them and ask them why they value this title so much? What is it saying about their pov? If you still cant get them over to your side or if your parents only give you a bit of freedom this is what I would do. The market for engineers is hard and all these bootcamps have basically made carbon copies of candidates. So to stand out. You need to use the one/two elective classes you have to get the fundamentals under you and I would use you university electives for that. So take java 101 (dont take python unless you want to become a fintech engineer), take data structures 101, and a decent math class (cal, trig anything with discrete math principles). During the summers you need to go to general assembly or some type of boot camp and get all your client side knowledge down js/react/css. If you can do this in parallel with you neuro stuff you will be set. Dont worry about a compsci degree because no one really cares about the degree if its stem adjacent most companies care about how you problem solve(Math skills), how you identify patterns (data structures) and how you handle data from the beginning of the pipeline to the end(technical engineering). You dont need school to learn all this btw but since your there use it to your advantage and take some compsci classes as electives. I hope this explanation helps dear and good luck. I hope you make some head way with your parents.
