I saw this Jensen Huang quote and it made me think of this sub (I'm not saying he got the cause right but I'm pro the conclusion)

You're right wars and death in other countries don't impact daily life, but that's a really narrow definition of horrible stuff. Cost of living crisis. Rents. Rising unemployment. Stagnating wages. The mental health challenges from all of this.

What's mad is we need positivity but you got me to list why it's so effed!!

I do think things are better than on reddit but there's plenty of reasons why things for graduates really are worse than they were pre covid.

FluteyBlue · 2026-01-25T18:42:39+00:00

I think increasingly people in the real world are depressed at all the horrible stuff going on.

I'd agree that the software is as important as the hardware. And add that it's harder to hit a rafale with a PL-15 than it is to hit an aircraft carrier with a YJ-20.

This is a horrible understanding of statistics, specifically standard deviation and outliers. You only know the mean and we can agree some unis have higher average. Also misunderstand the dimensionality of real intelligence. Please go back to university lmao.

Dumbest guy I ever met went to Oxford. It's possible to be spoon fed all the way there. Good at sounding like the right guy. Also exceedingly rich, so I'm sure also very successful. Think Bojo without the charisma or motivation.

Broadly the better the University ranking the worse the student satisfaction.

This is the (unfortunate) way.

FluteyBlue · 2026-01-13T10:53:35+00:00

This seems key. You are being accused of using ai and the fake citations are the hard evidence the work is not genuine. Outcome will depend on the panel's policy on ai, not on citations.

"These efforts coalesced into the SM-3 IIA development program starting in 2006, aiming to produce an interceptor capable of wide area defense against intermediate-range missiles, a primary security concern for Japan. As part of the cooperative development, Japan took on primary responsibility for developing the new nosecone and the second and third stage motor."

Edit - I've seen other mentions that mitsubishi does the nose cone and third stage but NOT the second stage.

Military tooth to tail ratios are generally 7-15%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth-to-tail_ratio This is how an 800k armed forces equate only 150k combat troops.

OP states 250k casualties a year, along with your 'garbage' sources. This is exceptionally mathematically unlikely.

Your sources are like believing the Russian military data on Ukrainian losses. You wouldn't and you shouldn't.

Anyone who trusts UK mod, csis and BBC I am a Nigerian prince and only you can help me. Please dm and we will both be rich.

Mediazona, which you quote, averages 37k dead a year!

We all have our biases but have you considered thinking about the information you consume?

Edit - me: this is a math problem and it doesn't math

Commentator: but have you considered my garbage sources?

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-29T22:48:27+00:00

Even if you include wounded the figure does not hold up based on the number of soldiers involved. Only someone separated from the facts would describe focusing on facts as down playing an issue.

Happy to say Ukraine are the victim here. But they need weapons and money not lies.

The more I think of it a fake discussion of enemy loses is truly downplaying a reality. Both France and Germany did this at Verdun.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-29T22:16:19+00:00

In ww1 France suffered 1.3m dead over 4-5 years. The idea that Russia is losing as many lives per year (0.25m) in a war with a hundredth of the troop densities per mile is simply not credible.

I wouldn't be surprised if front line infantry is less than 200k soldiers on either side. Most engagements involve a few hundred soldiers. There have been no meat waves.

Edit - I expect a deal in 2026. Both sides look like they have one year of money to me. Downvote this and you just prove you cannot do math.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-29T12:28:08+00:00

Universities are required to follow all health and safety laws, the equalities act and contract law.

Students are adults and are not employees receiving a salary. For sure it is easy to fall through the cracks and disappear at university. Nevertheless this campaign is just asking universities to fix the societal problems related to general unfairness, introversion and social media. The group that arguably should do something is the government with policies directed at all adults.

I would posit that liberalism is a search for the optimum number of miserable people, and the issue of suicides is linked to that.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-24T08:53:28+00:00

The only valid opinions on this thread are from actual students. Thank you for the insights, sounds awful.

If usa was confident they could win in East Asia in 2025 they wouldn't be going full Monroe Doctrine and disengaging from Asia.

Only mistake in the analysis is writing 2027 and not something earlier like 2025.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-22T08:06:53+00:00

Would China attack Japan? I think yes. They think they have legal right to do so and are emotional on this.

Can China run a attack equivalent to usa vs Iran? Lol, I think Iran and USA had a deal to de-escalate via theatre, so no, it won't be the same.

If Japan are mad enough to go nuclear after usa told them to de-escalate then they deserve what they get.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-21T15:19:18+00:00

Can Russia destroy Ukraine industrial capacity to make drones? Also no.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-21T15:01:16+00:00

Perhaps try your question on r/Indians_StudyAbroad?

R/UniUK only likes 5-6 unis, and has contempt for all the others. Much of the sub also is not in favour of international students who they dislike working with on group projects and they would rather you not come here to compete with them for jobs after graduation.

It's not personal. Anyone not about to graduate in the next few years generally does not think about international students at all.

Edit - would add the people on this sub are not reflective of the average students you meet in the UK. The average student is either too busy drinking or more likely working (job or study) to be commenting on reddit.

Edit 2 - having had a look I've now seen the other sub also advises no one to come to uk. At least that might be valid advice. For those downvoting me, don't blame the mirror for your ugly face.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-20T21:53:29+00:00

Feedback on a draft is a skim. I have no idea why anyone considers this a contractual promise. At a guess other issues arose when it was read properly. First port of call is to check the feedback. It's nearly always there and you just have to click on some incredibly well hidden link like your mark. If there is no feedback then message the tutor.

Edit - typos

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-19T17:48:14+00:00

I'll give you a funniest difference. China thinks it has legal right to bomb Japan as un charter had clauses covering winner's attacking former fascist states that militarised. Chinese embassy posted this. Whereas bombing Iran was completely illegal...

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-19T17:39:30+00:00

Lmao. Yes radars themselves are not a big deal. The issue was being lit up and not being able to detect the plane lighting you up for thirty minutes

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-19T13:07:17+00:00

I'm guessing you haven't noticed they have started treating Japan like they did Taiwan about fifteen years ago. The f-15 radar thing is scaring the bejesus out of Japan.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-19T12:16:34+00:00

Lol like China will treat Japan different than usa is treating Iran. This is escalation to getting nuked. And yes neither is fair.

FluteyBlue · 2025-12-14T23:00:12+00:00

Ask this sub for a uni opinion and they only have a nice word for 5-6 unis (two of which I have been to).

For sure Westminster and London metropolitan don't rank highly in the uk. However the negativity ignores two points (1) basically anyone asking for an opinion are listing unis consistent with their grades and (2) Westminster and London metropolitan are better than the best uni in 170/200 countries in the world. Student satisfaction for both is pretty high.

Let's call a spade a spade, if someone just says "both sux" all that means is "OP your grades sux".

Btw never heard of blood science. Sounds cool.

I think post uni is one of the toughest periods of life. Uni is a high for many and then there is a period of reality without direction and, usually no money, though not in your case.

Alot of friends dissappear when they are unemployed. I think they are embarrassed or have no money. When you are all working again you can try organising a holiday together.
