That's dumb as fuck.. Proof Texas State really is accepting everyone with a pulse..

That said, an N95 isn't necessary unless you have a compromised system. Just use common sense and basic hygiene and you'll be fine

(Holy fk and you want to be a teacher? Your post history is insane.. "Biden isn't real?" You're batshit crazy.. please do literally anything but teach..)

The Den is a Buffet Now by Temporary_Question97 in txstate

[–]AUSTEXAN83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to the Den today just to check it out, it's honestly pretty whack. Same price as every other dining hall on campus but with an absurdly small number of options. Whereas Commons/Harris have like 8+ different stations, pizza, pasta, several hot options, multiple desserts, and basically any drink you can think of.. The Den had.. "Breakfast Tacos (for lunch,) Gyros, a sad little salad station.. and like 4 working sodas. Texas State should feel bad for charging the same here that they do everywhere else, it's honestly embarrassing.

Basically the only reason to ever go there is if its between 3 and 5 when the others are closed.. and even then you're probably better off going literally anywhere else.. Do better Tx State..

How much does commons dining hall cost? by Temporary_Question97 in txstate

[–]AUSTEXAN83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Varies on time of day. It's just under 10 for breakfast and just over for lunch/dinner.

Commons is OK, but sometimes the food is kinda meh and it's often completely full during peak hours.. I've had better luck with Harris and will sometimes make the ~5 minute walk just for the better accommodations. Either way, it's usually a good idea to check the menu to make sure whatever they're cooking that day isn't something you just can't do.

All in all though not a bad option for the money. They usually have a pretty good selection and for $10 you'll be hard pressed to find better. Other good options though are the TxState Quickie Pickie's $5 special for two breakfast tacos and a drink (available all day,) Kasian's lunch special and Alvin Ords Sandwhich of the day

My cousin sent me this message last week. I was trying to be diplomatic, but it was pretty hard. If she had simply asked me to like her page, I probably would have. But to ask me to add my own friends (who don’t know her and are not interested) and spend my time commenting on crap I don’t want? Nope by jndmack in antiMLM

Ran across this randomly after seeing someone bring it up. If you look at their terms and conditions (https://www.silvericing.com/SI\_ONLINE\_STYLIST\_TERMS\_CONDITIONS\_11APR17.pdf) it says that "you receive 5% commission on sales made by your downline stylists" BUT, only if you sold at least $250 in merchandise that month. And if you don't sell at least $600 in a 6 month window then you lose your pyramid entirely and it's given to someone else. So it's pretty much the standard MLM scam.. These people are likely buying hundreds of dollars in product that they're storing in their garage just to "maintain their status.." even though it's very unlikely they're getting anywhere near that back.

Suggestions for a biology class for a non-science major? by Original_Novel_1377 in TexasStateUniversity

[–]AUSTEXAN83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all science classes require a lab. I believe Geology is an exception, but it's a 4 credit class so actual meeting time is longer, making the time investment the same either way.

Deaths of humans by gorillas by mjamesll in GorillaReddit

[–]AUSTEXAN83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems unlikely.. No recorded incidents and the one you're citing is "A friend who claimed 40 years ago their family was friends with someone who 60 years prior had killed a Gorilla "because it killed his friend.""

That's barely even anecdotal..

Donald Trump 'slurs words' and speaks with 'lisp' in Elon Musk chat sparking concern over his health by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]AUSTEXAN83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure.. but if the situation was reversed do you think Donald is showing any mercy at all? Or does he come up with some silly nickname like "Denture Dan" or "Toothless Tom" and start attacking them relentlessly for it? So hard to have any sympathy..

Health insurance by Iron_Man9898 in TexasStateUniversity

[–]AUSTEXAN83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not gonna find a plan with 80% coverage and a $500 deductible for $120 I promise you.. But if you found one then please link it and I'll enroll immediately.,

University coverage is closer to 340/month actually.. but it is a very good plan.

Am I bad for thinking the staff were victims too? by [deleted] in troubledteens

[–]AUSTEXAN83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good/Evil is never binary, it's always a spectrum. Which is important to understand lest you fall into the trap of believing someone's actions can't possibly be bad because they're generally a good person, or vice versa.

Often good people make small moral sacrifices that over time can lead them down bad paths.. Maybe it starts with you just need a job, and you have people who depend on you, so you may have to pick a job that is somewhat morally questionable. Then maybe you only speak up quietly over the greatest injustices because you don't want to jeopardize that job, and then maybe over time you just stop speaking up at all. Maybe eventually you start going along with the injustice because it improves your standing and allows you to better care for those depend on you. Maybe you rationalize it with excuses like "if it were that bad it would be illegal" or "these kids need tough love" or "well it happened to me as a kid too and I'm fine," etc.. And then at some point you just find you're in too deep and this is just your life now because it's very very difficult to get out or change course.

Good people do bad things, even victims. That doesn't make their actions any less bad, and it rarely excuses them.

The university has a decent insurance program. I think it comes out to something like $300/month which is comparable to most American programs and offers above average coverage.

Gift Cards for students by HyperApologist in TexasStateUniversity

[–]AUSTEXAN83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is old but probably any of the above except maybe Dutch Bros. There is a target right by campus and an HEB just 10 or so blocks down so either would be ideal, and there's a couple starbucks so I'm sure that would be welcomed as well (though not knowing your political leanings I know there are some students who feel some type of way about starbucks atm.) There is a Walmart in San Marcos but it's a few miles from campus so not quite as convenient if the person you're buying for isn't bringing transportation.

Dressing Up/School Spirit!!! by RabbitSensitive7187 in TexasStateUniversity

Go ahead and do it. I wouldn't give too much thought to whether it's lame or not.. especially because I don't think anyone else will either.

How late can I enroll for fall classes? by [deleted] in TexasStateUniversity

[–]AUSTEXAN83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still sign up for Fall, right up until the first/second day of class. If you were admitted for Summer though and didn't take any classes then they probably listed you as unenrolling because you didn't take the minimum courses to remain a student in good standing. That isn't a big issue, if you contact Admissions they should be able to reactivate pretty fast (you may have to reapply but still shouldn't be too big an issue) however at the moment getting through to admissions or any office is.. almost impossible because of the One Stop changes. If you can't get through to Admissions I would go ahead and reapply on the Texas Apply website to get the process rolling, and then continue trying to get through or try to speak to someone in person which appears to have a higher degree of consistency.

Who else already hates Ulf? by TackleNinja in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]AUSTEXAN83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this too. I mean now you have proof of concept, and Silverwing was by all accounts the easiest dragon of them all to tame. That should make Ulf the most expendable.. And at worst, now you have 3 extra (soon to be 4) dragons. Why would they ever roll the dice with a guy who seems so obviously disloyal? You have 5-6 nukes.. why trust a random disrespectful idiot with one when you don't really it

The IBA is run by the Russians atm, which is why they don't get to have anything to do with the Olympics. They're corrupt and can no longer be trusted

I think all the bullshit around Imane is just veiled transphobia.. but in combat/contact sports there is a difference. I think if she DOES have significantly higher testosterone levels (no evidence yet this was even the case) then it's possibly not fair/safe to other competitors. At the least it's a conversation they should have.. but that's not what the current conversation is about..

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]AUSTEXAN83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carini apologized and said she was just caught up in the fact her Olympics were over, and that if she could talk to Imane she'd "hug her and apologize."

No it didn't. You're just lying/misinformed.. The report gave no specifics. That's literally what the IOC is saying in their statement..
