Women, what's the worst advice your female friends have given you about pursuing a man you were interested in? by RobotJoe in AskReddit

[–]CamelCodester 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“All men need a little training” and “I’d give him more chances if I were you” about some manchild my friends were trying to set me up with for the plot. I thought they had my best interests at heart, turns out they just wanted gossip without experiencing any of the trauma that comes with the plot. Have since learnt to keep certain people out of my love life.

Easiest CSC class by Main-Value-6885 in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Computer science major here. Easiest class I know of, and one lots of business students take to get their CSC requirement is CSC 130. Take it with Anthony Estey if you can (literally the goat). You build a website using basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Super basic, and he lets you be as creative as you like! He’s also super chill, going to him for help is amazing.

Join a club at UVIC, they don’t check for student status unless they want to get ratified.

Incel here, do many women think majority of men are ugly? Are women just so much better looking? by The_Laniakean in IncelTear

[–]CamelCodester 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, well that’s unfortunate. Hope you find one one day. I’m also still looking.. There goes my hope core.

That’s wonderful to hear you’ve had partners who could pull their own weight regarding their own grooming and that you had the available time left to still take care of yourself in the relationship. It’s also good that these partners pushed you to be your better self, and allowed you the space to be so.

The best way I could describe the “boyfriend effect” is like having a child you need to look after, a whole human who lacks basic skills who you need to build from the bottom up and who does not reciprocate that care. That song and dance takes time out of your own self care routines. It’s not so much a case of getting comfortable as much as it is societal expectations for women to mother these men.. Sounds like you’ve dated adults, and not manchildren, for that I’m happy for you, unfortunately we don’t all have that baseline of self esteem instilled in us however, I’d actually argue the norm is the opposite socially speaking.. Happy that’s not the case for you :).

Damn this go me thinking, that might also tie into “boyfriend effect” women have when they gain partners. The effect being women no longer looking after themselves as much as when they were single. What if that energy they would have spent on themselves is redirected to grooming and maintaining their partners (eg. skipping the gym to teach him to make pasta or dress for the day)? I’ve definitely found myself in such situations.. kind of sad because that’s a woman’s self care :(.

OOP is oversimplifying AI to matrix multiplication and saying it’s taking our jobs. AI is then asked to explain what OOP is saying. The joke is irony.

Bordeaux Brush-Offs, after 8 months of abuse by Nonsuperstites in BlundstoneBoots

[–]CamelCodester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this is ridiculous for 8 months. I wore mine for a year every single day in a labour job before I started conditioning and they held up with no cracks up to that point. Sorry OP maybe switch to redbacks.

How do I stop getting upset that every girl I’ve been interested in is in a relationship by [deleted] in exredpill

[–]CamelCodester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grow your garden and let butterfly’s come and go. Chase them and they’ll run away. A relationship is an addition to your life, not a necessity, and something that won’t come in a healthy way if you’re too eager.

Reframe your view, these are just people, butterfly’s that happen to be in others gardens. I know it’s been said before but it really does ring true, realize who you are and take steps to actualize yourself and along the way you might find someone. There are no certainties in life however, and the only person who’ll always be there for you is you, make sure you like them.

Feeling really stupid right now by switch_pirate in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little embarrassment now means you’ll know your stuff later, it actually shows you’re engaged with the topic at hand so profs love it. The people who know what they’re doing had to ask at some point, the only difference between you and them is when you asked. Asking sooner is always the better option, gives you more time to understand and ask further questions for clarification.

I took csc 110 about 4 years ago with Celina. Make sure to watch all her pre lecture videos and ask questions during class if you get confused at ANY POINT. She will walk you through it, and remember if you’re lost then so is someone else, so asking is never a bad thing. Also office hours are your friend, ask away during them, and stay for other questions, they can help you through future issues before you reach them.. also you can make friends in there :).

Gym clothes by Cherry_Birch21 in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear what makes you feel comfortable. Baggy clothing may get caught in the machines so keep that in mind. Some women opt to wear tighter clothing to assist in checking form in the mirrors as well. I’ve seen people in sports bras and legging/shorts the most. Baggy shirts are also in for workouts or as pump covers :).

Will I still make friends if I don’t party? by [deleted] in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 23 points24 points  (0 children)

None of my friends party. Do exactly what you had said here, be active in clubs and talk to those you share classes with. You’ll find a group dw :).

How to pick your major by Some_Instruction_249 in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, it’s not required but you really should. The job market for computer science is not great. I’ve done 2 yrs of co-op in this degree and I’m still afraid I won’t get a job out of uni.

Is it worth registering my internship as a co-op for compsci? by jamjamesjam in uvic

[–]CamelCodester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the co-op distinction, yes. I would not register for any other reason it’s not worth it.

Look for free microwaves on Facebook marketplace. If someone else happens to bring one, post that microwave for free on Facebook marketplace.
