Cognitive behavioral therapy isn't really a single thing with a single point, exactly, far as I'm aware. That could be part of it, but there's other parts, too.

... not wilful, exactly, but considering the other major usage of that abbreviation, spelling it out is probably the safer bet.

Not too long ago, I took the time to excise all the CP (intended to be shorthand for Centerpoint, a fairly major large print book vendor) from my library for similar reasons, for what it's worth. Sometimes it's better to just take that extra bit of time and remove a potential source of misunderstanding.

I'm half asleep, and you just missed an edit

I mean, I'll repeat. I work in a library; we have that one. It doesn't circulate compared to stuff like cat in the hat.

Dr Seuss's books literally are their stories, because the family/estate owns the copyright. They own it in every sense that matters regarding publishing, given the current state of IP laws. You can disagree that's a good thing, I guess, but with the state of things that's about all you got.

Any case, quick check shows the kill order only seems to effect some of the crappier ones that (probably rightfully, considering) didn't see much love anyway, so, y'know. Eh.

Welp, reason N+1 to stay the hell away from Texas.

Hasn't that been relatively common for years/decades now? PhD students in general have it rough, can't imagine math ones are particularly better off.

... are they at least not getting kicked out, or...?

Yeah, it's been my fairly consistent experience that, if you got a bit of momentum going (and you, like... should? Always, when you're in open spaces, more or less), the delay between them and you is enough to drop under or jet over shots without that much trouble? Don't quite know how to put it in words, but there's like a flow to movement you can pick up that makes the hissy critters (and a lot of other stuff) not that bad. You can see it in youtube vids from some of the folks that run pretty hard.

If they're far enough away you can't already see them (and thus pretty easily predict where the shot's going to come from and when, or just kill them before they can shoot with bouncy shots or whatever), they're far enough away bullet transit time lets you react, basically. Usually. Least they have been for me, and I'm not exactly some kind of reflex god or somethin', ha.
