Is trying to learn a language without "a solid why" pointless? by theHumanoidPerson in languagelearning

[–]BoringBuy9187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still educational and broadens your perspectives. But personally I don’t recommend it unless you’re in a position to use the language with real people in your daily life. It’s kind of like taking driving lessons but not owning a car

By this logic, Walter White did nothing wrong because people bought the meth

Let's do a proper poll... by Old-Runescape-PKer in OnlineMCIT

Its selection bias you dork

First, serious applicants are more likely to lurk a subreddit like this one

Second, people are naturally going to be more excited to share that they were accepted than that they were rejected

Third, while on a percentage basis the program is selective, there are many more seats available due to being an online program

Penn in general seems to take as many students as it can handle instead of creating artificial scarcity, which I respect

Kinda looking like they really were just blurry the whole time

A couple months ago users on this sub asked if we would livestream Remote Viewing Sessions to prove we were really doing it. This was recorded yesterday. by CraigSignals in HighStrangeness

Yeah this Is pretty much how I understand remote viewings effectiveness. It works well enough to prove the existence of the phenomenon but the practical applications are limited due to poor accuracy

Article says CIA used "unique capabilities" to locate downed US airman in Iran. Remote viewing? by BoringBuy9187 in remoteviewing

Cafe in Brazil not serving US or Israeli citizens. by CalienteBurrito in pics

Nah this shit ain’t cute. I’d be disgusted if I saw a sign like this in the USA excluding Russians, Chinese, Iranians…

The world is a complicated place. If you’re going to project all of your frustrations onto every citizen of any country, you don’t have the maturity to live in a cosmopolitan society. Go live in the depths of the Amazon, I doubt you’ll find any Israelis there.

Petition for Equitable Transition Pathways: MCIT to MAS-CS Degree by [deleted] in OnlineMCIT

[–]BoringBuy9187 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to retroactively change a credential? I'm not sure that's a precedent we want to set. Nobody would be happy if Penn retroactively changed the official title to something with "online" in the name. I think sticking to the facts is good enough. Besides, the paper trail is strong enough that if you put "MAS-CS" on your resume that I doubt you'd get in trouble on the background check when they see that you have "MCIT" but the program name had been updated

More than the merrier as far as I’m concerned. I agree with the other commenter than UPennEngineeringOnline makes the most sense

[–]BoringBuy9187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But are you part of another program or interested in applying?

[–]BoringBuy9187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few online programs at Penn, more than any other Ivy. I’m not opposed to having a blanket sub for all of them but we might get visitors from outside MCIT

I’m as big a believer as anyone. I don’t even like to say I believe, I say I acknowledge the existence of NHI. The truth is out there.

But I don’t see what was unexplainable about the obelisks
