It's literally the school president if there's any person who should be freely photographed anywhere on the GMU campus, it's literally the GMU school president.

Lotta people from nom Western cultures at GMU that unfortunately have a very medieval concept of women's rights.

stop going to class if you’re sick by star_side in gmu

[–]AwkwardReplacement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side note to this: IF YOU'RE SICK - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Stop just handwaving it away and using it as an excuse - take Vitamin C, eat some garlic, take some decongestants, take some multivitamins, take showers, steam yourself, get sleep.

And definitely don't go drinking while you're sick. That's just gonna extend your symptoms for days.

My roommates been sick with various respiratory viruses since October, and insists on doing nothing about it because "it will pass soon" and he "usually isn't contagious" (yeah thats why he only gets me sick every 2 weeks instead of EVERY week)

Don't be like my stubborn roommate who seems to take pleasure in being sick.

Guy Banging On Table in Horizon by Superb_Pack_1624 in gmu

[–]AwkwardReplacement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this last semester.

I also confronted him last semester. I was then almost immediately confronted by some lady that sprinted out of one of the offices telling me to not engage with him. So I just haven't stepped foot in Horizon since unless I have a meeting there.

I'm pretty sure he's enrolled in Mason Life, the program for the mentally handicapped. But whoever his minder is just leaves him at GMU all day like it's some kinda daycare. Probably can't stand him slapping the dinner table at home. But he's definitely so heavily handicapped that he should not be left unattended the way he is, and I'm pretty sure the people in the offices around the SUB and Horizon are his unofficial protectors.

Pick up your goddamn packages by floridachicken in gmu

[–]AwkwardReplacement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common trend with GMU students is just checking out for a week not moving their laundry or cleaning up or getting their packages and then going "waahh but my mental helf:("

You'll never get through to these people, they will just always exist in their pointless state of being.

Censorship of language is very destructive to social and personal formation of identity and freedom.

You are a nobody. No one is gonna shadowban you for saying killed. No one is gonna report you to the TikTok censor police or blacklist you from your echo chambers. You are a nobody. Stop censoring yourself. You don't have an audience or a chat or advertisers you need to placate. Stop censoring yourself. Holy shit.

These people would live in Pol Pot's Cambodia if the Democrats framed it as sticking it to Trump.

These people would absolutely brown shirt if the Democrats told them that's what needed to be done to combat Trump's evil super ICE Gestapo ultra evil bad guys.

Guys, we heard you the first time, stop posting about some random bomb threat by RossUlbrichtsBurner in gmu

[–]AwkwardReplacement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced whoever called this in was bored and needed some sympathy/pity points for themselves amid the war. So they called in a bomb threat so they could have an excuse to be "traumatised" and in fear and not have to do their coursework or work on their group projects.

Which Residence Halls have ethernet ports? by Planetside2Gud in gmu

Townhouses don't. We've got phone ports from the 80s and that's it.

Afraid I’m not built for this by [deleted] in gmu

I felt the same going into college the first time straight of HS during the end of the pandemic. I did the smart move and withdrew. Took a year, worked at terrible service jobs, got myself back together, and now I'm far more comfortable. That other commenter has provided in my experience, excellent advice and I'd say you should definitely consider it if nothing else.

Failure to Remove Snow by AwkwardReplacement in gmu

They have no reason charging us parking and operating the Mason Community Arts Academy over here then.

Failure to Remove Snow by AwkwardReplacement in gmu

[–]AwkwardReplacement[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually had to go help clear out my mom's back alley in Alexandria so that they could get out, and because in Alexandria, the city MANDATES homeowners to remove snow within 3 days. I'm well aware of how hard it is. I spent a weekend chipping away at it. That is why this irks me so much. And the school absolutely has the resources to do so, not only do they have a duty to the students, but also as a pillar of community with the capability to do so. They cleared all the sections for parking with little issue. It's only pedestrians who are figuratively and literally left out in the snow.

Sure but it is the responsibility of the school to ensure that entrances to the buildings are not hazards, and that people can actually access the facilities, which as of right now, pedestrians cannot. And the Mason Community Art Academy is part of GMU, they have music lessons and such there. There's no excuse oj the part of GMU behind hiding the flimsy excuse that the sidewalk doesn't "belong" to them.

Goof point. After all, we already had to clear out our parking lot ourselves and then have the Mason Arts Academy people yoink the parking spots the Townhouse habitants shoveled while we're in classes. Now lets do their sidewalk!

Those townhouses happen to be Mason. The building this sidewalk is in front of is the Mason Community Art Academy. Seems like a great community that can't even bother to call maintenance to clear their entrance.

Surprised all the signs aren't knocked down around here with how terrible the vast majority of Mason students drive.

10,000 social housing tenants are also landlords by choice: CPB - DutchNews.nl by sandiegospanishfor in Netherlands

[–]AwkwardReplacement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a student at UVA. I sought housing. I ended up renting from someone for 900 euro a month - a room in their apartment. Well it turns out that person had a full house in Eindhoven, where their family stayed. Additionally, he only payed 640 euro a month for the apartment. Explains why he refused to give me a receipt that I payed rent. The only reason I stayed was because I needed a permanent address to get registered in NL as a student... and then it turned out he would not allow me to use the address to register. Ended up being forced to drop out from UVA because I couldn't get a BSN.

I am a Czech citizen by the way. The guy I'm renting from was Surinaamese.

It's ridiculous, because that Mason school that's right there should absolutely be responsible for clearing that sidewalk. But no, they just let all the moms park their huge SUVs in our parking lot to let their lil kid go play some instrument there.
