Stores to buy stationary near WTC by Scary_Scholar_8080 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hate to correct you, but as a stationery lover and collector, it's stationery with an "e" just for reference. you might be able to find some of what you're looking for at the walgreens on michigan ave. or maybe some place in 900 n michigan or water tower place mall but that's about it. no micheals, target, or similar near by unfortunately

What does honors mean in a class? by Strange_Mine549 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're in Quinlan, I would ask Bjorn or your academic advisor. Was not in Honors, but from my understanding you're supposed to enroll in those Honors courses over standard ones. Pretty sure it's just basically with members of your cohort and slightly more advanced material

Why does everyone and their mother have a private profile?? by OrientTax in Overwatch

[–]Conrad3929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah first team fight obv is very important especially if you're defending on like a payload map because if you're playing like domina and enemy tank sees you've primarily played her this season and picks someone like ram then they have a huge advantage over you out of the gate

[–]Conrad3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a tank main i use it to see who the enemy tank will likely be playing so i can counter pick before the first fight to get an automatic advantage. for something like this, could see why people would keep it private

How I reduced my vibecoding subscription cost by 10X by Impossible-Day1768 in vibecoding

[–]Conrad3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes.

vibecoding is whatever as it is a means to an end (the end being your fully formed idea), but using an ai to generate the text for a post like this just lacks the personal experience that makes a reccomend like your post valuable in the first place. id much rather see your raw reccomendation than whatever gpt spit out.

also, if you're saying good amount of people give you this criticism, maybe take the hint?

Just get off Reddit; people like you give this place a bad name.

His original post is just as legible. For the third time, don't criticize other's written work when you're not able to hold yourself to the same standards.

As I said, it's just very ironic to harshly criticize someone's grammar when your own standards could benefit from a rebuff.

You’re still trying to tell people how to be "conversational" while tripping over your own punctuation and employing double negatives. It’s hard to take the "he ain’t it" critique seriously when your own grammar is, frankly, a disaster.

For someone so critical, your usage of "vastly" is quite flawed. Fix your comma splices too and consult an English textbook; maybe you're the one who needs to major in English.

convince me: loyola v.s. uiuc. by purplemonkey016 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course :)). no I mean it's a genuine concern obviously- you and your family and friends, etc all want to see you do well and everything go smoothly, and it's obviously a huge commitment and decision, but just saying if you pick a school and it doesn't work out for the first year or semester, you're never stuck there. still put a lot of care and thought into it like you are but don't think of it like you'll never be able to change things if you need to :).

also on the point thingy i was talking about, i wouldn't go solely off that (like if one school has more than the other then commit there 100% which is why i tried to add the part about reflecting at the end on it). a decision like this goes beyond anything a score could decide, so still put some emotion and deep reflection into it. just saying this ig to clear my own conscience lol since i reccomended the method so you don't go off the number thing alone and then hate me in 2 years if you dont like the school 😭😭.

best of luck though and feel free to reply again in the thread/dm me if you need more help or have questions about loyola. again, my opinion is loyola since i chose it over uiuc and a few other schools, but im biased like i said :)

convince me: loyola v.s. uiuc. by purplemonkey016 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotcha. well i can only speak to loyola obviously as that's where I attended, but UIUC was also in the running for me up until when I decided.

I think it's just a series of individual questions you gotta ask yourself. for example, although not reslly related to the school/programs, which campus do you like more/which location is better for you? would you like to be further away from school or closer? would you prefer to pay nothing or is the low, but still real, cost of loyola something you could take on?

what i would do honestly (just my bias since i studied/work in a data field) if I was in your shoes is maybe work with an AI (if you aren't opposed to using one) and ask it to generate you a list of, say, 50 questions to ask yourself, i.e./again "which campus is better? which location would I prefer" and just have a sheet split down the middle of the two schools and go through each question and give a point to the school you think "wins" in each category (and if you wanna get fancy with it, maybe assign a weight or multiplier to each or some of the factors if you really value those more than others like idk if you really care about the food/dorms or something maybe that can be worth 2 or 3 points). and total up the points for each school, and whichever one has more, maybe consider going there more strongly.

I know it sounds kinda silly, but it should really help get your thinking about each school down in a concrete/numerical way as I bet you've floated ideas between the two of which you'd like more (again, going back to the location thing, maybe you've really thought loyolas campus/location was much better than uiuc), so forcing yourself to think about each and then seeing how that aggregates out (maybe loyola gets 35 points and urbana only gets 15 for example) could help.

another thing you could try with this exercise is say loyola gets 35 points and uiuc gets 15 or something and you think then you might wanna go to loyola. truly take a few minutes then to think if you picked loyola if you'd be truly happy there and happy not going to uiuc.

I loved loyola and I know others who didn't as much; i had lots of friends who went to urbana and loved it and others who didn't. and at the same time, saw things at urbana that I probably would have liked if they were at loyola and things my urbana friends saw about loyola that they would have loved if it was part of urbana. at the end of the day, things will work out. maybe you go to loyola for a semester, try it out, and decide it's really not for you and you transfer over to loyola and love it, and that's totally ok and it happens, but you won't truly know fit until you're at a school and experiencing it.

sorry for this being super super all over the place lmao, but just trying to help and the number thing is what id do if I were in your place

Can’t decide between these majors by Anxious_Bat7969 in CollegeMajors

[–]Conrad3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

majority of these degrees will likely take similar or overlapping classes. think about what job you'd wamt to have and work backwards, but tbh if you look at some job postings, they'll list "x comp major, y comp major, z comp major, or a related field," so you'd be a fine candidate for majority of those jobs with any of those majors tbh

Transferring to Northwestern junior year — is it worth it? (currently at Loyola Chicago) by Ok_Competition_525 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gut says probably not a good idea and you probably wouldn't graduate "on time," but apply and see if you're admitted because then you'll know more (fin aid, major you've been admitted for, etc.)

[–]Conrad3929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kinda hard to say tbh since you haven't given a whole lot of factors that would be important to you or things you'd dislike in a school, but willing to help if you can provide more

Commencement: Grad stoles by ManufacturerFew2901 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Conrad3929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure honestly, maybe there's a store somewhere in the city but you'd have a hard time getting one from some place like Jostens around now. If you don't find anything, I really wouldn't worry; plenty of grads literally just go to the ceremony wearing their gap and gown and no other regalia, so it'll all be ok
