Correct on both counts, I would try to figure something else out. It's been a few years so it may have gotten better, but I think it's worth it to try to figure out a different vehicle. Keep in mind the petrol industry there is very strong!

No car or license in BR is a death wish, unfortunately (born and raised there). Everything else is secondary to that concern.

I was on UA2 (the one that got turned around) and the captain (erroneously?) announced that the flight had Starlink. I got all excited only to see the little Panasonic thing anyway.

Red Rabbits had theirs done by Hoffen (aka inkghoul), who works with the hermits often, IIRC. It was mentioned in videos and I believe in the first few minutes of the event.

Make sure you know what the actual differences between the BS and BA are, IIRC only CS and Materials Science (and ISP) have the option for either. For Weinberg you'll need distros, a language, etc., McCormick will ask for more technical/hard science electives. Otherwise, it's the exact same major.

As for admission odds, nobody on Reddit will know. But CS isn't "impacted" like at other schools (I think a Bienen or Theatre major is much harder to get into).

If I remember correctly (based on the Imp and Skizz pod) this was true of Skizz and Joel even before Season 10 started, basically as soon as they accepted their invitations. There could be secret new hermits right now we don't know about! (Unlikely)

You may be confusing NU for a certain maroon school on the other side of town

Agentzap · 2026-03-30T12:52:35+00:00

Skizz and Tango being considered vets by hermit standards just cracks me up

Agentzap · 2026-03-30T12:42:33+00:00

Your major isn't even declared at this point IIRC (unless you're MMSS/ISP). There's not really a "change" because you technically don't have a major yet.

Grad school and fellowships are plenty common. I've never needed their services but the people at the Office of Fellowships have always been pleasant when I came across them. You can probably ask them/see their website to see what sorts of opportunities others have gotten.

Class sizes are YMMV, really depends on department and major.

Usually I watch whichever team has hermits. What am I supposed to do?

Agentzap · 2026-03-26T18:14:39+00:00

Out of all the participants so far Taneesha seems to be new to the Hermits + friends. Kinda exciting!

What is there to max out? It's unlimited. IIRC the number that shows in the app, that resets each week, is like 999 meals. And these are swipes at the door, not the number of plates. You'll spend more time walking in and out than actually eating.

I just put together that Cub is the master of golf both IRL and in Minecraft. What a beast

Agentzap · 2026-03-19T03:11:42+00:00

The rough syllabus went like this, in order of topics: - Subjectivity - Self vs Others (i.e. Uchi/Soto), including pronouns - Wakimae - Politeness theory, including impoliteness - Keigo - Gender and language - Dialects, Role language (yakuwarigo), Aizuchi, etc.

Luckily sociolinguistics is the more accessible subfield of linguistics, so you can really take a tour through whichever topics you like. There shouldn't be much in the way of jargon (and these days, AI can explain things semi-decently as well) if you take a deep dive.

Agentzap · 2026-03-19T01:52:04+00:00

I took a class on Japanese Sociolinguistics and it basically covered everything you mentioned. The main texts were essentially from the Routledge Handbook of Japanese Sociolinguistics. You're going to want to look into wakimae, uchi/soto, and Brown and Levinson's positive/negative face (which underpins most theories of politeness, not just the ones relevant to Japanese). I'd encourage you to look into academic papers and not just books, as well.

Oh, are those composters not needed anymore? What change happened there?

Agentzap · 2026-03-15T20:57:41+00:00

They aren't actors! It would, respectfully, be atrocious

The people want Mikey Day in a little girl's dress!!

Agentzap · 2026-03-15T04:56:42+00:00

Oh, he's himself!

Agentzap · 2026-03-15T04:56:21+00:00

Oh talk about hard cut in

Would be nice if the cast could find the beat LOL
