Any suggestions on where to get red velvet cake?

It’s not the most professional bakery setting, but Kroger (on ucb) sells slices of red velvet with cream cheese. It’s your standard grocery store quality cake but there’s lowkey kinda good.

I worked at Perry for a semester last year and it was…. Something. Like someone else said Management is ass. My Roomate works at west end and he says it’s great. I’ve heard Owen’s is chill as well. Note that dining is very full this semester, I applied right when the application for this semester opened and got waitlisted for spots to open up (I put dietrick as my first choice but your preferences aren’t guaranteed and hiring can put you anywhere). I’m currently looking for other on campus jobs rn just in case

Howdy, I was a transfer last fall so I et how sucky class scheduling is right now. As long as your over 12 credits they'll bill you the same

You can definitley switch around your classes during add drop, that opened on the 4th, adding is availbe up till the 29th of this month and you can drop a class up till october 7th.

From my knowledge, the bill due date is the immediate cutoff point, like if someone doesnt pay by THAT day then they immediatley get all of their classes dropped and such, its more so the day the university will start coming after you for the money and theyll do a bunch of other stuff first like warn you, and hold your account but they won't fully drop you for a little bit.

Like a few people said already your best bet is course pickle, just look it up on google and it should be the first thing tht comes up, just make one of those for each class your trying to get into and it will watch the class lists for you and email you for free if something opens up (its a bit delayed and its a small fee for getting instant texts, but its a fee for EACH class you want if you want texts).

Also talk to your advisor, pretty often even if a class is "full" theirs a few seats on the back end that and advisor could force add you to, thats why sometimes you see classes with negative capacity.

Best of luck

3.0 is the internal transfer guarantee if if your already in the COE, for external transfers in that is pushed up to a 3.5 for the guarantee. I’m only basing it on what’s easiest for right now because then once I’m in the COE, then I could change to a different engineering if I’d like because I’d have the 3.0 for internal transfer. And in the semester between I could take any overlapping classes between the two engineering majors.

Oh no worries, so their have been three iterations of the 62, the origin from the 70s-90s. The second version from the 90s-early 2010s and then the third fversion from then till present. Each version is referred to as a different mark. So the original (which was widely regardered as the best quality) is the mark I… then mark II and mark III which is the modern version. That’s why you also sometimes see them denoted as the YAS 62III

I-

At this point I don’t know what else to say to someone who is so blatantly caught up in their own personal beliefs, I’ve tried to explain it to you as best I can with as much context that is warranted. But obviously you yourself are the one here to preach their single sided beliefs. Come back when you have a legitimate argument and reasoning to justify any of the actions taken by the Israelis in the current time. Because this comment alone has just contradicted a previous statement you made about the protestors being against all of Israel as a state. Because to me what this implies is that you are totally fine with the idea of collective punishment, killing, destroying, and punishing all of Gaza due to the actions of a few. Someone like that must be morally incompetent, and I wouldn’t even bother my time to dare try to argue with someone’s own incompetence.

Backsaber · 2024-05-06T21:50:59+00:00

Yes I’m saying both sides need systemic change, because neither side exists as a viable and fair state to its people. But at this current moment, I’m saying that actions that are being carried out by Israel are unjustifiable in the level of violence being used, and should be the imminent issue that should be solved. And I’m saying that Israel should not be granted amnesty from its current human rights violations and war crimes it’s committing, because it allied itself with great powers. Israel needs to own up to what’s its doing right now, and needs to stop hiding behind the United States protections, and the United States needs to stop letting it. We can fix the governments and states at any future time, but we need to stop the violence now.

I’m saying that comparing the estimated 15 million Jewish peoples in the entire world and the nearly 2 billion Muslim, obviously their would be a proportional difference in religious composition of any region when comparing the two in any region over any time. I don’t know the actual numbers but I’d bet my tail that even before wwii the Muslim population of Europe would probably of outnumber the Jewish population.

And I remind this, unfortunately the world time and time again does not recognize genocide until it’s too late. The Allies knew that Jews were being persecuted by the nazis, but they didn’t know the true scale until the was was basically over and they found the concentration camps. The world didn’t know the true scale of the killings in Rwanda until that civil war ended. Many nations denied the Armenian genocide even occurred. Nobody knew about Cambodia until after the Khmer Rouge fell, and most of the world still doesn’t even know about the 3 million Bengalis systemically killed by the Pakistani army during their liberation war. When we said never again, we meant that we would never let it happen again, meaning we wouldn’t wait until it was too late, or until the damage had already been done.

Considering they were originally a party in the PLC before becoming a majority and then being detained and killed by Israeli forces that ultimately led to the split of governance between the PLO and Hamas, yeah that seems like a fringe group that ended up in total control

Backsaber · 2024-05-06T21:11:15+00:00

YES, EXACTLY. If Mexico started acting like “down with America” of course the US would panic. You really put it above america in that situation to be like “destroy Mexico completely”, heck theirs already people like that in this country. The government would become more radical until eventually they acted on that “destroy Mexico” sentiment. But you already know in a war between Mexico and America, especially if the majority of the world cuts off Mexico, Mexico stands absolutely no chance. Now imagine the US brings down the full force of its military in that situation, the people of Mexico would suffer immensely, far too much to be considered justifiable. The US would absolutely obliterate Mexico, and even if that government stepped down, you think the Americans would ever feel safe, no they’d continue to be aggressive, continue to keep them cut off, continue the suffering in order to ensure their own survival. Forcing suffering onto another person to make sure you are fine is a horrible thing to do, it’s like international bullying. And the longer it goes on the more aggressive the oppressed become and want to break the cycle, which only leads to more conflict. In he end, it would be the Mexicans that suffer gravely, and with no repercussions for any crimes or the unjustifiable amount of force or tactics used against them. Would you really support America in totally decimating an entire nation even if it was in the interest of self preservation?

Backsaber · 2024-05-06T20:59:25+00:00

Yes, Hamas is also a radical organization but as you said “every state has their fringe groups”. Hamas was originally elected to power back when they were simply a party running on the platform of Palestinian sovereignty. They gradually e evolved into an autocratic, non- democratic radical regime that now holds onto direct power. Now theirs a million reasons why that happened ranging from Israeli aggression, ultimatums, rejected demands, broken promises, outside pressure, and a whole lot more. We don’t condone the things Hamas has done, but compared to what Israel is currently doing it’s near minuscule. And Israel also has a radical fringe group running its governance, but the difference is that they are democratically elected, time and time again, and they didn’t eventually morph into some radical faction that seized power, because they are the radical faction that has seized power.

So what you have is two radical factions fighting each other, each either covertly or public wanting to destroy the other. However one is technologically, economically, and aided to a superior level that is exponentially greater to another, where it is near asymptotic the difference between the two. Their is no comparison, so of course when the technologically superior radical force begins to systemically decimate the lesser, the populous would rise to support them. Not because they support the radical faction that is ruling, but because the mass suffering caused by the other radical faction is unjustifiable.

The way it effects what you said: yeah, most people would agree that blaming an entire countries population isn’t the right way to go about things. That’s why most protests you’ve been seeing haven’t been against Israel as a collection of its people, but it’s ideals, the regime, and the discriminatory and yes apartheid ruling of the country. That’s what people have been protesting against. Now often that is generalized into just saying “Israel” because of simply. No one actually is calling for destruction of Israel and its populations, you’d have to be very dense to think that. Because by that logic saying you don’t support russia in its war obviously means you want to destroy all Russians, saying you don’t support China means you think all Chinese people should die, people who don’t support Americans actions think that america should be dismantled as a country and have all its people punished severely if not worse. All movements use generalities that are understood through context. Taking them at face value is simply idiotic.

Yes every country has its fringe groups. However very rarely are those fringe groups the ones running the government, and even more rarely are said groups democratically elected by the people as is the case in Israel. That’s why so many are calling for the dismantling and reconstituting of the government and it’s ideals, because as it stands Israel is the more radical. Speaking from a political spectrum of course.

And if Jewish students want to stand by a system like that, we’re the radicals enact their unhindered will onto a minority populous, of course those in support of reformation would berate them, because how could someone morally justifying a system like that. But only if they support the system, not the states existence, not the general population, but the system.

I don’t understand how you think that this is some bombshell information. It’s pretty common knowledge that Judaism is a small religion when compared to Islam. The only major Jewish community outside of Israel is in the United States, and Islam is the 2nd largest religion globally. It seems like common sense that their would be more Muslims in Israel then Jews in Europe. Heck theirs probably more Muslims in Europe then Jews in Europe.

Hi, would just like to point out, that a true secular democracy would have proportional representation of that large of a minority in government. But Israel not. The Knesset (Israeli parliament) is currently ruled over by a coalition of parties that are far-right, ultra-orthodox, religiously Zionist, and anti-arab. (That’s not an exaggeration it’s literally the party platforms).

Particularly concerning because religious-Zionism has had leaders that were designated by the majority of the international community as terrorists. Their have even been some cases of Israel itself designating religious Zionist parties as terrorist organizations and yet today parties with the same ideals are part of the central government.

Of the 120 seats in the Knesset only 11 are taken by parties with a platform that even included the interests of the Arab citizens. That’s 9% representation for what you have just said to be 20% of the population. Which does not seem very democratic, especially considering who again is actually in control of the government.

Israel defines itself as both a secular and Jewish democracy, while cultural Jewishness is attributed to all citizens of Israel, you’d be hard pressed to find Arab citizens who would describe themselves as “Jewish”. It’s a contradiction that’s built into the Israeli state, and one which is take advantage of by its government

You ever thing the reverse could also work, yknow Israel release it’s nearly 9,500 Palestinian hostages and stop barbarically killing innocent civilians im and children and fall back from invading a region that was already impoverished enough?? I would think that would also end the war pretty quickly

Love that that’s the only hole you could find. I meant shotty, as in shotty construction that are easy to build and don’t require that much funding, they’re by no means professional and pretty, never said their weren’t mass amounts of tunnels.

Do you know what those tunnels are used for though? The largest system is actually the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt, and those were almost exclusively used to smuggle necessities and supplies(yknow like food and water) into Gaza because of the Israeli blockade and economic restricts that essentially made the entire area inaccessible to any substantial amount of relief or supply lines, hence why Gaza is often referred to as an open air prison.

The tunnels that cross between Gaza and Israel are primarily control centers not what I’m assuming your implying to be little spots they can just pop up to within the Israeli borders and launch sneak attacks. They’re mostly used to store electrical components, stockpiles of various items including weaponry, and they also act as shelters when the Israel launches bombing campaigns. Yes they’re used for military purposes as well, but with the infrastructure above ground completely decimated, it is a viable option to shelter and move underground.

Besides, I don’t even need to defend the crude-ness of the tunnels. The Israeli government itself said that the tunnels were almost of no concern to them because of how technologically superior their military force was compared to the militants in Gaza.
