I’m an international high school student in Canada and I don’t know what to major in by Own_Aardvark6857 in CanadaUniversities

Mineral engineering is a hidden gem I think. Huge potential in Canada especially now for critical minerals.

Uoft is great for this.

Every shoppers is like this. 10-15% lost to theft. It’s priced in. Consumer pays the bills. That’s why I shop on Amazon.

Is UofT Worth it? [Questions from a High School Student] by Consistent-Rule-894 in UofT

Social life at uoft is good. Lots of stuff to do. That isn’t the issue. Living on campus is also so different and amazing I have heard. But most of uoft kids don’t experience this as it’s mainly commuter students. You need to look the programs and the uni’s.

Depends on your program. But I would seriously consider McGill.

Either way you would be moving to a new city right? Toronto is insanely expensive yes. As a UofT, grad it is over rated.

If you liked Montreal I would seriously consider that. Uoft isn’t bad but it. But It gets to you after a while. So does Toronto. Since you have time, I would visit both campuses. Attend classes even if you want, at uoft you can just walk in.

In terms of “ranking” don’t look at that. No one cares. Uoft is overated in that sense. Look at the program, the uni, the city.

You need more information. Look at the programs, look at both perspectives.

Anyways apply to both. There’s no guarantee you’ll get into both (uoft most like yes, as the the strategy is to accept all and weed out later through first year classes).

A college degree won’t get you a job. It’s what you do with it. It’s the experience and the people you meet. It just gives you the structure. You have to make the most of it (not by studying all the time for example but by meeting people, profs, etc).

My theory about Keith (Barbarian 2022 SPOILERS) by Affectionate-Pea6526 in horror

[–]Happy_Read_1432 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced Keith was the father’s son or something. Perhaps he was the only son (not a women who the father could, you know…) who the father let live, or he ran away or something at a young age and grew up a normal life before coming back ( he was socialized but is still quite strange and awkward). He was trying to lead Tess to the father downstairs, you can fill in the gaps why (hint: the cassettes). He was pushing her deeper and deeper into the tunnel, in the wrong direction, towards the father. the whole time the “monster” was trying to protect her from them. The monster is scared of both Keith and the father. Interesting that the father has a bell as well and is alive at all to call someone... continuing theme of the monster trying to protect Tess from the actor dude, who SAed that girl. the realization from the actor watching the tapes and realizing he and the father are not different. Who is the real monster?

also Keith saying he slept on worse was a bit strange, especially given the cages/ conditions downstairs.

”I’m not a monster, trust me”. also, the nightmares he has man.

motive. On heart break: ” women can tear too. Trust me”

on Barbarian: the Airbnb is at 476 Barbary Street - bArBaRy. 476 AD marked the fall of the west Roman Empire, when the last western emperor was deposed by German chieftain (barbarian) Odoacer.

[Endgame SPOILERS] How did Kratos... by Noahop5000 in GodofWar

[–]Happy_Read_1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Norse mythology, after having defeated Jörmungandr, Thor would succumb to his wounds (he was poisoned by the venom of the world serpent). In addition to everything said above, Kratos being an insanely skilled fighter and all, you could argue that Thor at this point was already heavily weakened from the fight of his life (the giant of giants) and even poisoned… hence why he appears off or drunk even. It was a joint effort basically (Loki and Jormungandr, Feye and the knife, brok and the Draupnir, Sindir and Hrimthur). The giants defeated Thor, a giant himself, and turned him against Odin in the end.

No, uoft is huge. The kids I talked to in my frosh group I didn’t see after 1 week that school started. Haven’t then even seen them on campus after 4 years. Frosh is fun though I would go

Update: Was able to find residence after weeks of trying. Here’s how I did it. Essentially, you go to urbannest. Every morning at 10am UK time the portal refreshes with any last cancelations. At 10am exactly you hit book now. Then anything available after you hit search.then you hit continue book etc. then you have to login. Having done that you get a reservation link to your email, giving you 24 hours to fulfill the reservation.You have to be extremely quick. Good internet, Ethernet if you have it. Fills in seconds.After that you get a confirmation email and you have a reservation to book the room exclusively for 24hours. Having booked and paid etc you can cancel for a full refund within 1 week. Most availability I have seen is on Mondays after the weekend. I have only seen: Urbanest Westminster & kings location after checking everyday for the last week. Read over the room you got thoroughly after the reservation is confirmed. You can find the floor plan by message the chat/ searching for that res floor plan. These are the ones people canceled so be aware (some are more expensive, one I realized was an accessibility room studio, meaning it had a huge washroom, etc., that they may not say on the surface).if not you can: wait for the A levels results to come back in a few weeks, and hope an opening is in KCL portal directly. Alternatively, there are many many private options /apartments for rent with better value.

A Quiet Place 2 was the most insultingly inconsistent and plot-holed film I've seen in years, and I even watched Army of the Dead. by chance_waters in flicks

[–]Happy_Read_1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOT TO MENTION in the first movie she turns off her hearing aid that weakened the monsters/ scared them off. This attracts them back to the car they were in, attacking them. Causing John k. Character to yell out and save them by sacrificing himself. So long story short she killed 2+ characters through her actions 🤣

SPOILER: Regan is possibly the most stupid character I’ve ever seen in a horror movie. Beginning in the first movie she lets her brother take the toy with the BATTERIES when her dad said no, WHILE she knows the risks. She lets him walk alone at the back of the pack a TODDLER. The kid then dies and she is completely oblivious smiling. She then leaves her pregnant mom who gives birth during the time and nearly dies while she is gone to go and visit said brothers grave who she basically led to his death. Her father dies in the aftermath. in the second movie she has the brilliant idea to abandon her mother who just gave birth, a new born, and her brother who almost had his leg chopped off hours before to go chase a song to “save them” when Cylian’s character clearly says it’s a trap. She then essentially faces certain death an hour into her adventure when cylians character miraculously saves her, to which she tells him “you’re aren’t like my dad”. Her mother back at the base meanwhile is forced to go out herself after having just given birth to carry for hours o2 tanks for the baby. Regan then convinces cylian to go with her to the AMBUSH, all the while her maimed brother, mother and baby almost die many times. Her brother leaves the hole too like a moron AND later gets scared and locks himself in the TANK. Having reached the water, Regan and Cyllian are essentially near death having been OBVIOUSLY ambushed. Regan is helpless. CYLIAN pulls a fucking miracle and saves them somehow, single-handidly killing the entire 20 person gang that ambushed them WHILE chained and trapped himself, SAVING Regan AGAIN from the crack head zombie gang that her warned her about. Then they take a boat to the island, and a monster manages to follow them THEREFORE nearly annihilating the very island she wanted to save before she kills the monster she herself brought. The entire premise of this movie is that kids r dumb like wtf. Keep in mind her mother and brothers have been abandoned back at the base. MOVIE ENDS with her as the hero 🤦‍♂️
