Undergraduate GPA was 2.7. I'm taking statistics part-time non-degree and I'm sitting on a 3.3 GPA. My goal is for a stats masters. I'm looking for work rn. And Deloitte seems to instantly reject me within 24 hours of my application. I respect that they are least respond.
You do what you can for money, when you're a young adult and studying in school. But I think you should be smart as far as what you choose to offer your time. It's hard landing a position somewhere nice, especially if you didn't get into a good program.
I have some regrets working in warehousing. Sure the place was close by. And sure the pay was okay, and sometimes even really good. But even retail would have been a more healthy choice. Warehouse destroys you, and for me, I think it contributed to making me socially awkward. In fact, I think people that can't fit in mainstream society gravitate towards these roles.
That's all. My dad likes to tell me that work matters most. He's an immigrant and I can respect that he works hard but I'm in a tough position because he also didn't prioritize socializing with me growing up, and that's made me disliked. Anyway I just wish I did things more intelligently and found cozier roles, and had the wisdom to. Even if the drive were longer or the pay were less. There's also the sense of normalcy in working retail as a teen, in a mall, like as a milestone in life.
I live in a 4k sqft home with my parents and grandparents and one sibling. It's just a big empty house. I wouldn't call this house impressive. I wish to live in a smaller home with a smaller kitchen. Like our old house. I think the small space is more intimate and cozy. So.
The locusts were firmly applying belt in the first day of emergence and up until the hammer strikes. Humanity after 80 long years, had entered a peacetime era before finally succumbing to war again.
Let's look at the facts for a second. If you read the rise of Raam comments, Raam is fully aware that Locust will go extinct against the Lambant threat and that by Scourge's vision, the horde will fall in their effort against the surface dwellers (us). The war against humanity was never a won war in their imagination, as so much as it was buying even more time.
Okay, let's look at another fact. It took just a few lightmass bombs tucked into the outer hollow to utterly eradicate the locust population. This was the end of gears 1.
Now let's talk. From what I gather, the locust numbered a few million at the start of E day. Humanity was at 25 billion. I want to begin by saying that I don't believe these numbers make sense even with the element of surprise and having brumaks run rampant. I don't think the locusts should have won out simply because weapons of mass destruction exist. But anyway. Let's say humanity has a heads up. Let's say they're aware of an emerging threat and having information symmetry. They know of corpsers, of brumaks, of the kryll. Here's my take. Humanity installs ALOT of hammer of dawn satellites. Ramps up production of lightmass bombs. Begins a militaristic, planet-wide coalition that arms every fighting man to tooth and nail. With a strategic coordination, I don't just think humanity would win the war, but they'd utterly eradicate the locust before E day can even commence. Mind you, a single / few lightmass bombs eradicated the entirety of the outer hollows. The sinking of Jacinto further brought the locust closer to extinction. The trouble was in finding their home world, at which point even a crippled 99% extinct humanity force could still rid of the locust threat.
That's all I have to say. And I sincerely hope e day comes out next month!
Idky but I just convinced myself I'll study till I'm done at 29. I need a fucking job afterall and I'd prefer if it were something nice and I felt accomplished. I'm level 1 autistic. I used to have selective mutism. I also used to be very handsome. I'm kind of ugly now. I have regrets. I wish I dated in highschool. I wish I actually tried to get along with the people around me even if I didn't like them. Girls are so hugely important. I'm 26 now and I need a girlfriend. It just looks fucking stupid being by myself at this age idk. I'm in a crappy position. I was always hated and now I'm just freaking out.
Im screwing around on Kaggle, lookin' and just basically copy pasting people's notebooks and trying it for myself. Monte Carlo, decision trees, whatever else. But they're really just buzz words.
I don't think you need to know how to run a specific regression of the top of your head? I think you need only familiarize yourself with the tools to do so. And on the tests, they don't ask you of coding interpretations or to write the code down. I've only had that asked in my literal python course. So, I just want to ask if the coding aspect of stats is exasperated. I don't think working with python or R is the hardest thing in the world, especially now with AI. It's not like, actual programming. But please do tell.
​
I did take econometrics and a plethora of data analytics courses. I have python and R down on my resume. I've highlighted some projects. Rn I'm studying stats and math so I can enroll in a stats masters. I genuinely hate the fact that I did economics. I took advanced micro macro and then flunked out of my master's in economics anyway. I can't get a flipping job. Economics is just a degree for business school rejects. If anyone has advice on actually getting a job I'd appreciate it. I live in Toronto region.
I'm level 1 autistic. I'm not the super serious, incredibly quick brained style of autism or ADHD. I'm the variety of day dreaming, suck at life kind. I'm lofty. I'm an idiot. I'm 26 in June. I flunked out of my master's in economics and now I decided to study statistics and pursue a stats masters there. I thought back on life. I think I got a genuinely shit hand in highschool. Actual garbage. It would have been nice to get a fair run at life.
I was smarter than average but that's not a high bar. There was always a kid quicker than me. I was never the smartest. But it's hard to compare given my crappy bus and family that doesn't support my academic aspirations of my crazy neighbor who I had to worry about. He was an assailant who threatened to and did in fact shoot people in the leg. I'm just disliked and people can tell I'm odd and weird and stupid. My brain isn't quick anymore anyway. I used to be fast. Now I'm just regular speed. I guess I'm better at learning now but I wish I had the speed back. My parents are incredibly stupid. Academics was always going to be hard. It would have been nice to have been a winner. My old neighbor grew sick of me. He was also a second gen immigrant but his family had wicked emphasis on education. He was always athletic and got the girls. Turns out I'm just naturally smarter than him and I turned out handsome so it's nice that I have had gifts. I find it ironic. Tbh. He worked hard but I'm just born with more talent. My lazy ass. Not that I'm lazy anymore. I was a slob growing up. Anyway that's all I wanted to say.
I'm brown and it's been hard navigating life as just a small town kid. I just reminisced about life and remembered some things. I got seriously fucked up from being bullied in grade 12 and 11, after I moved. I hated that girls became this huge thing and it's like the only thing that defined your worth. I spent my 20s confused and upset and in anger and now I'm back to normal and I just wish I didn't have wasted time but actually lived a fulfilling life that made sense.
I flunked out of my economics master's in January 2025. I freaked out and decided to study a related subject and thought that was statistics. I was 25 in 2025. I thought I could just take one year worth of courses and rev up and do a statistics master's. That's now turning into 3 years because of the nature of prerequisites and frankly one year was ambitious. So rn I have 2 fall/winter years left.
I did calc 3 and calc 2 which is nice. I really like studying. I'm just worried my brain will slow down. I am worried about age discrimination. And I'm just afraid I'll be behind in life. I'm handsome/super attractive and I never had a girlfriend because I'm level 1 autistic. I liked this girl in grade 7 and I'm just hoping to ask her out. I don't have friends. I have one dude reach out and we're meeting up tomorrow which is nice.
I know stats is harder than econ. I just thought to take stat courses to test the waters. I find it easy so far, or manageable better said. I'm planning to take real analysis and math stats and linear algebra 2 as the core courses and then supplement courses like metric spaces and stochastic processes and other stuff.
I just make this post because I really hate how long it's taking and I can't get a job with my ba in economics. This is more of a rant and my worry woes.
Did my ba in economics. Data analyst-y resume. I've been applying everywhere and to customer service. Can't land anything. Any tips? I just apply and apply. An analyst role would be nice.
Edit: Toronto
I got cptsd in 2018 and I used to hear insults LOUD in my head. I was surrounded by shit people that ended up going to jail or went to jail. That was highschool. I fucking hated it. That they blamed me. Anyway I'm here playing pokemon unbound on my PC and I just think randomly of this kid Ryan and my neighbour and how they always tried to make me look bad. I just hear it in my head and maybe it's not normal because I get super angry sometimes. My brother has psychosis. I don't have an imaginary figure thinking it'll kill me. It's not like his. But maybe it is something.
