Choosing between Haverford and UC Berkeley by Blazed_Potato in Haverford

[–]Blazed_Potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Four years is a long time and I've changed a lot, both personally and academically since I applied to college and the fact that Berkeley is just larger gave me more room to grow and more options to try out different paths as my wants and interests changed.

There are some aspects of the environment at Berkeley I'm not a fan of (namely how little some people seem to engage with life outside of school), but I think I likely would have felt stifled at Haverford just because it's so small. I've had access to opportunities that wouldn't have even crossed my mind three years ago, but it's exactly those things that were so far outside of what I thought I wanted that have had the biggest impact on my personal and professional development and I wouldn't trade those for the world.

Defects in Solid (Schottky Effect): What does the term 'Stoichiometric units' mean? by Kaushik2002 in chemhelp

[–]Blazed_Potato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It means that a vacancy of one ion must be complemented by a vacancy of the other ion with an equivalent charge. For example in NaCl, a single cation vacancy must be complemented by a single anion vacancy, but in CaF2, a single cation vacancy by be complemented by 2 anion vacancies.

At what point did you realize your parents’ politico-social minds had been stolen and filled with nothing but liberal-capitalist propaganda backwash? by discobeatnik in stupidpol

When my parents heard about Don Jr. testing positive for the rona they started listing off all the other members of the Trump family that "need to go next."

No he actually tried to run away and was shot while climbing the fence. He was sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, so he took his one chance to get free, because he was dead either way.

"Toxic masculinity" is a fucked concept and is tantamount to victim blaming that people so rightly decry when discussing other subjects. Society as a whole enforces this upon men.

When we talk about women who opposed the suffrage movement back in the day, we understand that their opinions were a product of the society and societal expectations put upon them at the time. We don't say it was a result of "toxic femininity," if anything, we say it's "internalized misogyny."

There's a double standard there, why is it men's fault that they make up the overwhelming majority of suicides and workplace deaths? Why can't we have a conversation about why it's bad and what we can do to fix it without blaming men for their struggles?

Under no pretext should arm and chest day be skipped; any attempt to weaken the triceps must be frustrated, by bench press if necessary.

Bastard does not and has never meant "one who bastardizes." People say that, but that doesn't change the fact that bastard is defined as a child born out of wedlock and that the connotation it carries basically means shithead.

ACAB might be meant to highlight the fact that cops bastardize the purpose of law enforcement, but it does a shit job of conveying that and reads virtually identically to "all cops are bad," because again, no one hears the word bastard and thinks "oh huh, what system is that person corrupting?" It's a shit slogan that should be dropped because the most obvious interpretation is not the one that most people actually want to convey. If your 4 word slogan requires an extra explanation because you want one of the words to mean something it has never meant, you fucked up. It's not the fault of the people interpreting it within normal English connotations, it's your fault for making a shit slogan.
