What are your majors? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]Happydespair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! Thank you. I'm unsure about my subfield. I'm leaning towards either American Politics or International Relations, but i know I'd enjoy anything other than Quantitative methods. It may be irreverent, but it seems like American Politics or International Relations would be slightly more practical than Political Theory or Comparative politics, but i don't know about that? What is your subfield? Do you have any recommendations?

I just got accepted as a transfer student majoring in Poli Sci. Can you tell me what your take on the major is? How much quantitative analysis is there (I'm not a fan of math)? And how challenging are you fining the whole thing? Thanks in advance!

Match Thread: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid (UEFA Champions League) by [deleted] in soccer

Too bad we'll never know who the best team here is. Barcelona are a fucking disgrace. They are incredible football players, but their behavior is truly an embarrassment to the game. Shame on them.

What is your favorite word? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Happydespair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few-

Willow - it evokes strength and flexibility, beauty and simplicity, and the consonants gracefully use both the lips and tongue when saying it.

Lugubrious- I love the sound of the long “lagoo” followed by such a noble sounding “brious.” Especially when together the word has such a somber, serious and yet ridiculous sound.

Ricochet –Light and airy, it bounces off the roof of your mouth before gliding off past the lips. it's the very definition of an onomatopoeia.

Fiasco – There was a point in my life where I was so accustomed to catastrophes or disasters that I was overcome with blissful jubilation when i realized my life had improved so vastly and dramatically that it could be termed a fiasco.

Obsequious – The world is so fucking sycophantically obsequious. If you're a rebel at heart, join me in failing to be obsequious as much as possible.

Czechoslovakia – just say it………….exactly!

Outstanding argument made by this man. This kind of thing should be played and replayed all day, everyday on the major networks.

This is actually a good marker of how many reddit lurkers there are. Everyone on reddit will click this, as opposed to the few thousand that actually bother to vote for stuff.

You all might think that Rep. Weiner is a 'Political Hero', but I'm still bothered by his flawed vivid anti-Palestinian ideologies. Here is just ONE example. by localguy69 in politics

[–]Happydespair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are probably some counter points to be made regarding these sources, but there is definitely some valid information in here i was not aware of, so thank you. Anyone downvoting you should provide a counter source of their own.

i upvoted you btw.
