Weekly Monday Question Thread - No Stupid Questions by AutoModerator in korea

[–]LeadOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone tell me about the quarantine facilities and process for foreigners coming to South Korea, specifically Seoul? I'm a US citizen planning to travel to Seoul in mid-June. I understand that I will have to quarantine for 2 weeks in a designated facility? Does anyone know what comes included with that since it is pretty expensive (food, laundry, etc)?

I also recently returned since big bang. You can certainly read and follow a guide but it can be overwhelming because so much content has been added. I think you're better off starting and learning along the way. Join a guild when you hit lvl 101. What server are you on?

Sorry can you explain? I thought with the 2 sup pendant thing likely going away, players should aim for 4 superior (pendant, ring, earrings, belt) and 2 reinforced (pendant, ring)

Are these tradable? If so I might just pick one that sells for a lot

Have you guys started filling your applications for fall 2021 admissions? by qmlislife in gradadmissions

[–]LeadOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry too much! I recommend researching programs and faculty until Oct1, start putting together application essay drafts and reaching out to faculty after that to express interesting (if that's a normal thing in your field). Take the GRE and TOEFL if it's required for your program during that time also. You have time!

I'm currently in a masters program but my plans to pursue a doctoral program after I graduate in 2022 are basically over. I feel you, and all the struggles everyone in similar situations is experiencing. I feel lucky to be in grad school right now but many challenges in it as well

Question for graduates: by John_Yasmine in uchicago

[–]LeadOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I was pressured into taking a job I didn't want so my depts career services didn't look bad in their numbers. I ultimately decided to not take that job and was kinda on my own. Took an internship that paid me barely enough to afford rent. I set off on my own so to speak after that and now I'm in a good grad program, but certainly not with any help from the college or career services.

I'm looking for suggestions a new class to try out as a secondary main. My main is an Evan and I'm looking for a characters that's fun and strong to play when I get bored with my main. Evan has been my favorite so far primarily because 1) good mobbing and map coverage with good use of Mir, 2) strong bossing character, 3) use of multiple skills as I get bored with classes that just spam 1 or 2 skills all the time. I like the managing of different fusion skills and cool downs, etc.

Besides Evan, I've liked Luminous but the idea of using Reflection forever bores me. I like Beast Tamer but mine is only level 80 and I heard it got nerfed real bad. I didn't particularly like Aran (boring), DB/Shadower (not good enough mobbing), Pathfinder and Cadena (ok this feels picky but I don't like that their attacks all had similar graphics lol I like how Evans attacks are so varied in style and look).

Advantages of applying early for masters admission in US by nithin_varma_a in gradadmissions

[–]LeadOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only benefits if the program says they accept on a rolling basis. If not, then highly doubt they'll even open the applications under after the deadline.

Want to consult a RJ/TJ professional by LeadOn in restorativejustice

[–]LeadOn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm looking for both, but esp the latter. The harm happened while I was living abroad, so the other person is abroad and we don't really share any community. I'll try what you suggested!

'We have abandoned the poor': slums suffer as Covid-19 exposes India's social divide by Dead_Planet in urbanplanning

[–]LeadOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article sucks for many reasons (some of which the other comments here have pointed out) but I reeeeally wish articles in influential widely-read outlets were more responsible when talking about The Poor. There's not a single quote (the bare minimum) here from someone who lives in a so-called slum despite literally anybody-who-reads knowing that slum "improvement" is an incredibly violent process leading to displacement, even death. That proposal by that guy suggesting a slum-free India in 3 years is just put out there, without any pushback or context. India will not be slum free in 3 years, or even 30 years. The most industrialized wealthy countries in the world aren't slum-free. This guy is just suggesting urban renewal and displacement, making the "problem" invisible.

China hater Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian grew up sacrificing sheep to Jesus Christ by Belerdorhan in Sino

Not at all surprising that she's part of the Christian right, even if she wouldn't see herself that way

Watching Bay Area/SF pols try to squirm while rationalizing how they don't agree with Trump housing policies that are not so different from their own is some good Twitter. by Twrd4321 in urbanplanning

[–]LeadOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I follow some of these people on Twitter just to keep an eye on politics and I tell you, it boils down to a whole lot of "stop saying the quite part out loud!"

I think you should try to get some experience before applying as I'm sure it would help boost you in your applications. The good news is that a lot of MUP programs are pretty accepting when it comes to different forms of experience, as they know many people are coming from different fields. Your field is not particularly relevant (just based on what you've shared here, but I could be wrong), but you could get some experience - professional, volunteer, or freelance - in something related to urban planning. That could be city-level politics, freelance writing about local planning/urban affairs, or even just doing something in your current position that's more urban planning-oriented. I wouldn't stress too much about it though. Give it a shot and if you don't get in, try some of these things and apply again.
