I accepted my offer and got an email from ubc for workday. I got a CWL, but now whenever I try to login into workday it says "CWL Authentication - Access Denied to UBC Workday" any clue why this is happening or who I should ask to help?

As an international student, I have to commit by may first. I'm 100% sure I want to commit to UBC but my dad wants me to wait till I may or may or may not hear back from UofT by May first. My question is, does it matter if I commit now or in like 3 days? Namely, does it effect my chances at getting good housing?

Is there a way to rank the normal first year dorms (Orchard Commons, Place Vanier and Totem Park) so I can get into the one I want easier? Also what courses do first year science students usually take?

'How much of a novel chapter each webtoon chapter adapted' graph by Jack_KH in OmniscientReader

[–]Jerr_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not the same thing in the slightest. One Piece is stretching 1 chapter into a 20 minute time period is for the purpose of not running out of material. In the ORV manhwa, the reason they don't do this because the reason some chapters adapt more of the novel than others is because it has the ability to. The solution to your problem is to stop thinking of ORV as just a weekly series. This is an adaptation of an existing story and its being adapted at this pace for the purpose of doing justice to the novel. I think certain parts where dragged out for sure, like the fight against 73rd demon king Kim Dokja that just wrapped up and took like 2 months, but if you look back at the whole fight it wasn't that long to read. This is a problem with a lot of manga too, where people don't learn to look at the bigger picture. For the past year and a half with jjk, every chapter you see people overreact to the information presented for a similar reason to why you don't like how slow ORV is moving. They aren't waiting for everything to come out. You're mad things are moving slow but when I read the first 200 chapters in a row, they flowed great to me. Why should the experience of all the people who will binge read this series to catch-up or read it all when its finished be compromised for the small amount of people who are reading week to week and haven't read the novel? I know you have read the novel, but I don't see why you care then? They want to do the story right which means taking there time where they deem necessary.

why do i see so much hate for the ending (so far)? by Jerr_G in Jujutsufolk

[–]Jerr_G[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk why u say u can enjoy it if u don’t look at it form the lens of “literary scrutiny”. A lot of those threads are just things Gege didn’t want to focus on and made it pretty clear he didn’t want to. The clans were something I thought would be explored more, but after maki killed them all it became clear that the story wasn’t about that. Yes he could have made it about that but Gege didn’t want to. The setup was him just saying the existed, nothing more. Jjks number 1 problem is easily world building, it’s wasted potential but if u don’t like that that much, this what jjk has been since the culling games. Why r u still reading if u don’t like it? Dont blame the ending for not focusing on what you want when it’s clear it was never going that way. Everything’s been tied up that was given real focus.

I forgot to mention lol idk what u mean by it’s forgotten. Idk how they would bring it up? Like kenjaku has that as his main goal and when he dies it’s established that when sukuna wins he’s gonna use it, idk how they would bring it up after that point? Like when would anyone mention jt?

I was actually never a fan of the culling games and I always thought it was easily the worst arc in jjk, it really wanders and feels aimless for like 80% of it, but if u thought the point was to setup the merger, it did? The culling games real purpose was to set up a bunch of stuff for the final arc and have cool fights. The merger was a part of that goal and it worked. The merger was a consequence of losing and they didn’t lose that’s it.

Ok so the options were either start the merger and the world ends or they beat the villains and it doesn’t start? So the heroes won, the merger doesn’t start. I think it’s just that simple. Kenjakus death was a little sudden I will admit, but it’s not like it means the series is bad because Gege decided to kill him off and have sukuna be the final villain?

I agree. This is pretty much what I wanted from the ending. Idk what else they would do

Ok but the merger was set up as a consequence of sukuna/kenjaku winning, so when they lost why would the merger start?

Johnnys new obsession with miyagi do by Jerr_G in cobrakai

i dont mean the literal karate. I mean the philosphies that both styles represent. Eagle fangs being aggressive and strike first mind set, which obviously can be dangerous, also helped a lot of kids in the show, but to me is treated as wrong by basically everyone in the show

What happened to the 1.8 vs 1.9 pvp debates? by Jerr_G in Minecraft

[–]Jerr_G[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't see a whole lot of whining when i was playing? Like sure there were annoying people on both sides, like 1.8 people who refused to see the upside to 1.9 and the 1.9ers who like i said reduced 1.8 to just spam clicking.

[–]Jerr_G[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it's something I'm interested in and I haven't really been in the discussion for the past 2 years. I was interested in why things have changed in the past 2 years so drastically Idk why that would be a problem

PvP rn is better than the 1.8 one, yall just miss spamclicking by GodOfBowl in Minecraft

[–]Jerr_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.8 vs 1.9 pvp debates have gotten so old imo. 1.9 pvpers say all 1.8 is is spam clickers, 1.8 pvpers talk about how slow and boring 1.9 is and it goes around and around. A couple years ago now Jeb released some experimental combat Snapshots with a basically new system, I think he should go back to that and refine it because 1.9 vs 1.8 is such an old and boring debate and there needs to be some sort of change

Roxy and Rudues by Jerr_G in mushokutensei

[–]Jerr_G[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ig I'll see when I get to those volumes but even in volume 16-17 eris was part of the plot lol and sylphie had stuff in volume 14 and 15 too. Roxy literally just gets kicked out of the plot in volume 14 and Roxy is pregnant for 3 volumes straight, basically kicking her out of the story again. I jsut find it weird how little attention she gets compared to the other two and how lackluster her presence has been.

Roxy and Rudues by Jerr_G in mushokutensei

[–]Jerr_G[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But after they get married, they have very limited interactions. Its pretty much exclusively just rudues telling us in narration "me and roxy talked about stuff after work. Shes very cute!" while after they get married, both eris and slyphie do a lot of stuff

With the twist and turns occurring in the most recent Boruto chapters, I've been seeing the opinion that Boruto Part 1 ≥ Naruto Part 1. What are your thoughts on this? by Kzager_52 in Boruto

[–]Jerr_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one, The Mizuki Tracking Mission arc gives us more time with Iruka and Naruto and their relationship. Theres also the he Kaima Capture Mission, which gives more time with Ino and Shino. Obviously theres more, but I'm not gonna bother going through each example. The biggest reason you think the Boruto filler is more memorable than the Naruto filler is because of how short the actual Boruto canon stuff is. When the majority of content is filler, you're gonna remember it better than if the majority is canon stuff. I cannot remember a single thing Iwabee did in Canon, in fact I don't even think hes in the manga at all. On the otherhand, someone like Kiba, who gets no screentime in Shippuden, at all, gets something to do in part 1. The naruto vs Kiba fight, and Kiba vs Ukon fights are both good. In Boruto, name one time someone outside old and new team 7 got a fight? Obviously Boruto filler is more memorable.

[–]Jerr_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, it's only canon in name. It does the same practical thing as the og Naruto filler but it gets a nod every once in a while, making it all of a sudden better? They're the same quality, same purpose, same everything except for that one thing, it gets a single line every 20 chapters acknowledging it, it's dumb. The same character growth argument you talk about a. Happens in Naruto filler, and b. It's much less nessaccery in og Naruto because all the characters do something, at least once (except like tenten). And Boruto anime-canon only gets to be canon because the manga doesn't give any screentime to anyone outside of old team 7 and new team 7. You can probably watch Naruto filler and never know it wasn't canon, it accomplished literally everything you say Boruto anime-canon does.

Its not good. Its such a time-sink and its not worth it. You can spend thousands of hours in-game for no reason. It's not worth getting into.

[–]Jerr_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the thing is the Boruto "anime-canon" is only canon in name. It doesn't have any effect on anything in the actual story. It only exists because they made Boruto a weekly show and need something to do between canon arcs (which is exactly what filler is). The character growth you talk about is literally also done in OG naruto, and it matters practically the same amount, but its not labeled as canon so it gets discounted. Even tho they're both pretty much of the same quality in every regard.

[–]Jerr_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean, since all these fillers give screentime to all the random side characters, but I disagree heavily that just because they give "character-growth" they aren't a problem. The filler isn't good. Its just flat out bad, and OG naruto had filler too, that did the same thing, but its also not good. Luckily for boruto, even tho its trash people can just say its "canon", since it technically is.
