    Replace “grad student” with “former catholic” and that’s my husband. Lots of deprogramming still needed on that one.

    Does this mean academia is like the catholic church?

      IME both have a lot of memorization, impossible standards, and clandestine sex, so yeah there are parallels. Divinity school must be a fucking cesspool.

      I hate you so much. I’m developing a Lemmy client, and ur user “[object object]” showed up. I panicked so hard for a second there, thinking that I massively goofed up somewhere. :|

      Funny, but I still hate you <3
