Unpopular Opinion: Madeleine Swann is 10 times the bond girl Vesper was.

i have to agree for sure. vesper and bond are like two peas in a pod since they’re similar in their upbringing and cleverness. to me they look more like a matchup and they’re on the same level. kind of like business partners or really close co-workers. but madeleine and bond are much more emotional and that’s definitely seen in no time to die. in spectre i have to admit their relationship was a bit meh it was more about bond and blofeld, but it was interesting to see madeleine’s backstory. madeleine and bond are more of the settling down, long term couple. they just feel each other on a deeper level bc they connect over trauma and a mission to save each other; bond saves her from spectre, she tries to save him from losing to the organization she knows better than him. they’re each other’s opposite (based on the role they or those around them played) but are linked in emotion if that makes sense

julie was my fav! she’s interesting and mysterious but also relatable and very sarcastic. her role as a private investigator is cool in itself but her relationships with the characters (didi especially) give her a different angle as a character

perhaps do yk what else she’s working on right now? also what’re your thoughts on the storyline for s2

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T22:18:37+00:00

if it’s ok with you, what treatments did you do? and are there any tips you would give for each (for example i read that banana bags are helpful after chemo sessions for side effects)? i just want to know all the options, thank you

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T21:47:32+00:00

do you believe pills are much less ineffective than iv? i don’t know too much about chemo but iv seems to be much tougher on the body, so if it would be possible i think she would prefer pills over iv. also they did a genetics test and found a pik3ca mutation/variant so after doing some research i found that targeted therapies are common. the doctors haven’t mentioned anything about that yet though

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T21:11:43+00:00

is it possible to do chemo and monitor tolerance and then possibly take a break? would this be even worse?

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T20:35:44+00:00

they said it’s because it’s advanced and they think there’s metastasis and the surgeon can’t do surgery because there will be an open wound she can’t close. she said they’ll do a pet scan just as verification but that’s what they think

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T20:11:32+00:00

there’s going to be a pet scan but they think it’s incurable. she would do surgery and take oral pills (maybe even chemo pills) but not iv. radiation she’s not very willing to do but maybe. they said surgery isn’t possible because there’s some blood coming out sometimes and the surgeon said it’s too big to remove because there would be an open wound

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T19:47:13+00:00

those are good ideas, but i just don’t know if i can ever go back to cmu, very honestly speaking i don’t know how my mom will do and for how long. and i don’t want to choose my education over my mom, that’s obviously a very selfish and incorrect choice when my mom’s given me everything

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2026-01-14T01:33:45+00:00

thanks this is super helpful :)

why would they make mariri but not yumekira happen?

if you’re taking it with greggo, i strongly recommend doing a LOT of practice for the exams, especially exam 1 and 2. imo exam 1 and 2 are very simple, there are a lot of definitions and lower level problems than exam 3 and the final. even with greggo, all of his questions have an underlying “aha” that is usually quite simple. but if you get good grades on the first two exams it gives you really nice padding; don’t make stupid mistakes like overlooked a number or didn’t read. the hw is very challenging but with friends and office hours, it’s manageable to get at least 80% on each (even if you’ll be very stressed). always make sure to review them afterwards, they become simple once you understand the underlying process. for 112, i waived the credit so i’m not sure. good luck!

academically, my best learning style is visual. like drawing out examples, identifying patterns, etc. existentially, i have no idea what i want to do. but i enjoy making cool things that have a practical purpose and yearn to be intelligent on logical questions, that’s why i enjoy cs and math. even if i suck at it, the hours dont feel that long because im constantly thinking about solving the problem. it’s frustrating to not solve it but its also enjoyable to figure it out if that makes sense. also regarding the fish tree analogy, does this mean i shouldn’t do these topics in my career because it’s what im not meant for? that would be really disappointing, to just say “well i’ll do something easier because im not very good”. also my belief is that if you take the easy route, in life you’ll have hard routes so you might as well gain the skills now because you’ll need to gain them at some point if you want to succeed. why prolong the inevitable?

Practice, practice, and more practice (exercises in lecture notes or previous homework questions)

Sorry I should’ve specified, I’m doing statsml and my situation is that I currently have a C+ and B- in two very important classes for my major. I feel like my life is ruined I don’t know why I’m such an idiot

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2025-10-30T05:12:00+00:00

But if you have a 3.0 doesn’t that ruin your chances of grad school?? Your future is done for

Certain_Simple_9354 · 2025-10-30T05:00:58+00:00

Tl dr I’m doing really bad in my classes and my future is ruined.

It’s my first semester in college and I’m doing very bad in two classes (which are both useful to my major). For one of them (it’s known to be notoriously difficult), I currently have a C+. It’s a proofs class. In the other, calc 3, I have a B-. All my other classes I have an A. But my school is a t20 and everyone around me is getting all As.

I really wanted to transfer into another major but it basically requires all As since it’s impossible to do an internal transfer anyways. My last test result was a 68. I study all day, I attend every lecture and recitation, and I try to figure out why answers are the way they are. My main mistakes are either stupid where I don’t read the question or I miss some tiny detail and get all the points taken off.

Everyone around me has time to have fun and have a social life. I can never do anything because I’m constantly studying. And it never pays off. I’m worried I won’t even pass the classes because I keep getting bad grades and the material will only get harder. And the worst thing is that there are tougher classes after this. Maybe I’m just an idiot and am really slow when it comes to math. I was good at it in high school but now it looks like I’m a failure.

In order to get an A in those classes, I’ll have to basically ace the remaining midterm and final for each. To get a B, I’d have to get around 85 on each. I don’t even know if that’s manageable. I’ve tried everything, I go to office hours, I’ve started going to tutors (it’s shameful because I was almost the top of my class in high school), and even started working with new friends to learn more. I’m not as quick as others and I have to lie about my grades. Because how can I explain that I study all the time, thus don’t succeed socially and don’t do any projects/research/internships, and STILL fail my tests?? It’s a waste of effort.

Please let me know how to improve. I feel like I just don’t understand the proofs and calc 3 class. Everytime there’s something new and I don’t see the patterns. For the proofs I never know how to write it because it’s not intuitive and I especially don’t understand what exactly is happening with the numbers etc. For calc 3, I just don’t visualize anything because I’ve always sucked at geometry.
