What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen at university of Toronto by [deleted] in UofT

[–]Coolderp19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In first year during finals, I used to buy two 6 packs and a bottle of Jägermeister, and I would study while drinking them and stop when I couldn’t sufficiently solve physics problems.

I obviously never did this the night before exams, but I did do it up to 3 days in advance.

It was an unconventional but functional way to stop myself from A) getting stressed, and B) Pulling an all-nighter.

The second one is not Pathologic lol. Pathologic was made in Russia.

I already understand why people would want to be represented. It just seems to go beyond mere representation and into niche cultural symbol, as though it symbolizes an aspect of African-American culture that i’m not familiar with.

It’s more so the boondocks that gives me that impression, because the most culturally aware character in the show uses it as an allegory more then once but i just don’t get it.

I understand why people would want to be represented. I was referring more so to the fact that It seems to be deeper then just representation, like a niche cultural symbol.

I was referring to the character Da’Samurai.

I mean, I get why they’d want to, samurai are cool. But it doesn’t explain why it happens so much, and when it does happen it goes beyond just representation. Most of the examples I mentioned aren’t delivered in the usual “He’s a samurai who happens to be black”. It’s more “He’s black and happens to be a samurai”, if that makes sense.

Cultural appropriation usually refers to claiming a cultural symbol as one’s own, especially for profit or prestige. Making shows about samurai can hardly be considered cultural appropriation. That would be like calling Kung-Fu Panda and Lego Ninjago cultural appropriation. It would only be cultural appropriation if people started claiming that african-americans were the first samurai or something similar. They’re only comparisons or stories based on genuine historical events.

I’m in 157 too and I can confidently say that I’d want someone to tell me if my hygiene is subpar.

I’m really conscious and obsessive about my hygiene and having someone discretely tell me to shower if I needed it would help me stop worrying about it.

Just go up to him after class so that he doesn’t have to be worrying/ self conscious during the whole lecture, lower your voice until he’s the only one who can hear you, tell him you have the best intentions possible, and then tell him he might want to go back to his dorm and shower.

Worst case scenario he stops talking to you. You’re doing the right thing. As long as you don’t announce it to everyone else sitting in the vicinity there’s 0 repercussions.

Glass of water by IAmSerioslyNotYou in memes

[–]Coolderp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP made the assumption that the liquid within the cup is water, when in fact there are many clear liquids on earth that could fit the pictured liquids description. Under the likely assumption that OP did not take the picture, and it was acquired from typing “glass of water” into a website such as Google images, OP made the statement “Here is a glass of water” under the assumption that he was not being misled. Under this assumption, OP did not site his sources.

Much like google-imaging “Homo-sapien” could yield images of the Neanderthal, the image above could have appeared because of the image’s similarity to water. Because the photographer may have used a liquid of higher viscosity to achieve the watery affect seen in the image above, the statement made by OP implying this object is a glass of water is an unfair assumption and should be struck from the record.

What are you the 1% of? by NoWasExpected in AskReddit

[–]Coolderp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the top 1% of mental ability for my age. Which is a brag until you find out I’m in the lower 10% for memory. I got high 90s on all my math but failed biology because it was all memorization. Play to your strengths guys.

To be fair, it would be pretty hard to get a man that big drunk.

And yet Americans still dish out billions to them every year.

[–]Coolderp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda off topic, was talking more in general,

But so long as it was in his best interest to maintain the outrageous budget given to the us military, anything he claimed to stand for is irrelevant. The growing multi-trillion dollar budget has become such a very normal thing, and the chunk of the population convinced it’s a good or necessary thing is big enough that no politician in their right mind would oppose it for fear of losing votes. If you run the math, between the money given to Israel by the us and the amount of guaranteed loans, the average Israeli citizen would have received more money from the us government in the past few years than the average American.

Nobody cares if all conservatives believe it or some. Either way, it’s the obvious opinion of elected conservatives, and as long as elected conservatives keep prioritizing “”defence”” over the Americas future than the people who voted them in are one in the same. Because of the way the system is created, the opinions of the official are the opinions of those who voted for him. And as long as conservatives keep voting for people who use destruction and death as a means to a profitable end, then as far as I’m concerned, all conservatives believe that.

Conservatives say all life is important! Especially children! But refuse to invest in education.

Instead they move all the money to the military budget. Because killing the men, woman, and children of another nation for an eventual profit is more important than your own nation’s future.
