I’ve recently become fascinated with metamaterials, graphene adaptive surfacesb photochromic polymer. If your work involves these technologies, what degree path got you there and what does the work actually look like day to day?

Hey guys, so right now I'm currently a welder and it's time for a change. To keep it short fumes, metal particles and the angel grinder which I fell victim to that gave me a nasty cut made me make my final decision in pursuing a career change. I stumble across photochromic polymer and was truly intrigued, so any advice you could offer for me to get in the field and me tell what your day to day life is like at work I would be more then grateful.

Really intriguing, right now I am a welder fabricator, it's fun but it's to dangerous, I work 10 hour shifts in a shop with a respirator on all day, one big wake up call for was this nasty cut I just received, I fell victim to the angle grinder and almost lost my finger so it's definitely time for a career change plus I'm 25 so I have enough time and money to make the transition but please any advice to transition is good advice.

I stumbled across something extremely fascinating today, optical metamaterials and meta fabrics , graphene adaptive surfaces, and smart photochromic polymers!

How could someone build this stuff, I mean if you read about it it's truly fascinating. My favorite one so far is the smart photochromic polymers. This stuff is great, I would definitely build a mini project at home of something similar but it's probably not even legal but if I could I would.

Im tired of it

Hey guys I'm a 25M and I'm so tired of chasing sex everytime I have sex I get post not clarity. It's not worth it but the post clarity just isn't clicking to the point where it aligns with my actions I'm terrified of this behavior and I don't want to fall victim to it. I really want the help, I see a therapist but I haven't seen him in in almost a month, and I have been missing my SAA meetings. It feels so compulsive it's like I'm drawn to it and it has a pull on me I can't beat and I'm miserable because of it. If god above can hear me please help me please give the strength to make it stop. I kinda want to cry right now, I feel so weak and helpless because of how this behavior has been destroying my life.

God is to mysterious.

I’ve been on a spiritual journey for a long time, and the deeper I go, the more questions I end up with instead of answers.

People say God is mysterious. But at what point is something too mysterious to even believe is real? If God is always hidden, silent, indirect, and impossible to fully understand, how is that different from people just convincing themselves He’s there?

Sometimes it honestly feels less like divine guidance and more like a giant psychological operation built on fear, hope, suffering, and coincidence.

They say don’t call on God only when you’re in trouble — but I been calling on God before I was in trouble, just to still end up in trouble. So what exactly was the point?

And people say “God will show you something.” But if what He shows you costs your peace, your freedom, your relationships, or your whole life… did He really show you something meaningful, or are you just being mentally and spiritually tortured at that point?

I’m not saying faith is fake. I’m saying people should be allowed to question why the relationship with God feels so distant, confusing, and painful for so many people who genuinely try.

Debate me.

Tired of the shop life

So right now I am a welder fabricator for a shop and I don't like it. Pipefitting looks fun my buddies a boilermaker but the fume and particle exposure is what's keeping me from joining but he keeps talking. About his checks tempting me 😭😭 Underwater seems like a death trap making 50k ruining your body before you can make close to 100k doesn't seem like a good path, millwright seems fun I will be outside but it's balls to the walls hot in the Florida Nothing a little ice cold water can't fix though, tin busting, definitely not I find relaxation in doing 50 12incb welds and 20 3ft welds downhill while listening to music ( makes me 🤗 excited) iron working seems fun cause you get to climb and run a down hill pass with one hand in mid air like A DAMN G MAKING THE GIRLS GO CRAZY! Honestly I would feel like a bad ass if I was high in the sky connecting and welding I beams with one hand and pipelining seems very competitive but then again there's Areospace welding seems clean but takes hella skill because of the high stakes and also food industry it's just so many industries and honestly I want to try out all of them 🤗! But yeah I'm tired of the shop life and the pay is low in the shops in Florida, actually, how can I successfully transition into other niches that involve welding. And I also want to weld titanium before a retire. I'm 25
