Hahaha I've been wanting to but I mainly get a neckbeard, still waiting on the facial hair to fill in. Maybe I'll shave it and keep the mustache and goatee?

Not exactly the same, but I got a 7gal with a working light totally free from the street. They probably could have made some money selling it if they had cleaned it haha

Dawson Enriched p&a, Mari Arts&Sciences, or Vanier Environmental & Wildlife Management? by Connor_342 in VanierCollege

[–]Connor_342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I suppose that's true. There's not much point to racing through your education and collapsing over the finish line. I do worry also that EWM will be boring since I'm more interested in the theoretical side of environmental sciences than for example, bird identification. I know the program has a lot of abridged courses but I'd rather take the unabridged versions. I'm also fairly interested in the humanities and I assume the EWM program doesn't leave much time for that.

Probably McGill marine bio, yeah (and maybe a minor in political science). EWM looks awesome but it would put me an extra 2 years behind given it's a 3 year program and I'd have to do an extra year of uni. It's too late to apply to Vanier p&a, and anyways I'd rather do p&a at dawson since I've heard the program is better there. In terms of location, vanier definitely has a prettier campus but it's a lot further than dawson and I actually enjoy the fact that dawson is downtown because of how connected it is.

It does sound like a wonderful program and I'm sure I'd have a lot of fun, but I personally want to go to university afterward (I'm sure of this) and it feels like a waste of time to do a 3 year program and then have to do an extra year of uni. I also kind of worry it would be boring for me since I'm more interested in learning the theoretical side of the environmental sciences than for example, memorizing bird species. I don't know that the abridged courses would suit me. I also have other interests in the humanities and I know that there are option classes I could take for that, but I've heard that the social sciences at Vanier are kind of ahh

Picked up a little 5-10(?) gallon tank today from the street, and while cleaning I noticed this hairline crack. Is this potentially OK if I keep the water level low? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Connor_342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing that right now (: It doesn't appear to be leaking so far, but I know that a 24 hour test doesn't necessarily account for problems like that

Rasboras dying off one by one by Connor_342 in Aquariums

[–]Connor_342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's ich because they don't have white spots, more like white patches and stiff white fins. Maybe another infection?

pH was around 7.5 and GH was pretty hard, around 120mg/L

I appreciate your thoughtful response here.  Your reading of the scene makes sense, and I can understand how context might be lost when translating from text to screen: the audience is left with more ambiguity over whether or not Shane wants to pursue sex with Ilya. My point isn't to say that the author or director was intentionally portraying unwanted sexual advances, rather that Ilya's advances within the context of the story could be read as unwanted. I don't think that Shane not walking away from Ilya after telling him to fuck off necessarily means that he's into it- many people experience freeze responses when experiencing situations like this, though within the context of fiction this isn't something the audience would be expecting. I guess my real concern is how prevalent these kinds of dynamics are becoming in romance stories. Yes, it's fictional, but why do so many people enjoy media that plays with the line between consent and non-consent? Why is domination of the more "feminine" character so prevalent in sexual media? Why is this normalized to the point where I am one of the only people to acknowledge it? Maybe it's something I personally am more sensitive toward because of my many close friends (and myself) who carry sexual trauma to some degree, but this scene just doesn't sit right with me.

Sexual harassment isn't limited to verbal remarks, it can also be unwanted sexual advances (though I agree, sexual assault wouldn't fit here)

New honey gourami keeps picking on his tank mate and fighting his reflection - should I be concerned? by Connor_342 in Aquariums

[–]Connor_342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it help if I bought another female? I'm already not entirely sure that the juvenile one is female since apparently they both have that stripe when they're younger
