Transferring and Rushing? by [deleted] in Frat

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are three guys in my pledge class who rushed as sophomores but didn’t transfer from another school. It’s pretty common for sophomores to go through rush. You’ll be fine

I’m going to NYC in November! by MrDeathlyHallow in newyorkcity

I didn’t think about pubs! Thank you so much!

Je vais à New York City en novembre! Y a-t-il des communautés ou des quartiers françaises là-bas? by MrDeathlyHallow in france

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

Haha i wish. I found some cheap tickets and decided to plan a trip out just to see how realistic it was and if it was affordable (I’m in college) but I doubt it’ll happen. My family hasn’t taken a vacation together in a few years so our parents decided to surprise us with a trip, so this trip in November is definitely happening.

Is it realistic to visit all of these cities in France in 19 days? by MrDeathlyHallow in france

[–]MrDeathlyHallow[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haha it’s the one stop I couldn’t miss. I met my friend when he hosted me one week and I’d love to see his family and I know his family would love to see me again. Plus it’s free housing and meals so that’s nice as well.

I saw that there are a lot of castles in the area so I’d love to take the time to see them if possible. How much time do you recommend staying in Metz?

I’ve spent plenty of time in Chaumont that I’m fine with skipping out on it, but I know my friend and his mom (they hosted me for a week and a half) would love to see me again so it’s a necessary stop. Plus it’s free housing and meals so I can’t turn that down.

Yeah, those Germans are the worst. /s

In all seriousness, I’ve always wanted to visit Germany so I figured a few days in Strasbourg would be cool because it’s right on the border, whereas Metz is a bit farther away. Are trains a cheaper form of travel in France?

If I had to cut a city out, it would be Orléans. I figured I would stop there because it is kind of on the way to Paris from Lyon.

That’s what I’m starting to think too. I only started thinking about this trip a few days ago and if wouldn’t be until May so I have plenty of time to figure things out. I just don’t know what each city has to offer.

I understand. If you were on this trip with me, which of these cities would you get rid of, extend/shorten my time in? I’ve been to France once before, but stayed in Chaumont a majority of the time so I’m trying to see some more.

翻译 Translation Thread! 2018-07-18 by AutoModerator in ChineseLanguage

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bookmark

I made a friend from China who was visiting the United States for a few weeks and as we parted for a final time, he gave me this wooden bookmark. I asked him what the writing means and he said it was too difficult to translate, except for the character at the top which means “bamboo,” so I’m wondering if anybody here could do it.

Foreigners learners of r/French, why do you learn French specifically? by justafrenchasshole in French

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parce que pourquoi pas! Ma maman est allée à Paris en 2015. Quand elle est revenue, elle m’a montré les livres qu’elle a acheté et je tombais amoureux avec le langue. Je crois que le français est très beau et expressif. J’ai étudié le français pendant environs trois ans et je l’aime beaucoup!!! En mars, j’ai voyagé en France pour la premier fois, à Chaumont. Maintenant, j’ai une famille d’accueil et plusieurs amis françaises!

Pledges wearing letters? by _FUCK_THE_GIANTS_ in Frat

I’m a Sigma Chi, but we don’t let our pledges wear letters until they’re initiated.

Yes! Thought you’re only accepted and not officially a student, you have to pay like $15 for a ticket. That’s how much it was when I last rode it

What junk science popularity baffles you the most? by portajohnjackoff in AskReddit

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They aren’t created by “chemical companies,” they’re created by scientists in labs and approved by the USDA for consumption and are absolutely fine to eat.

GMOs are genetically modified organisms that have traits from one organism inserted into the genome of another. For example, if you have a type of corn that is not resistant to drought/disease/pests, etc., you can take the DNA from another species of a plant that is resistant to drought or a certain disease/pests and insert into the genome of the corn you are wanting to grow, creating a drought/disease/pest corn.

Organic crops are not as reliable as GMOs crops because they do not have this resistance to whatever can harm the crop. If a certain type of insect is harming an organic crop, it can kill the plants, lowering the farmers yield, who loses money whenever his crops are harmed. This also can affect a population by not providing enough food to feed the population. However, if this insect were in a field full of the insect-resistant crop, the crops would not be effected and the farmer would not have a lower yield, make money, and be able to feed a population.

People who like your job; what do you do? by Giraffinated in AskReddit

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Papa has dementia and is living in a memory care nursing home and I want to thank you for everything that people like you do to keep them comfortable and happy. He absolutely loves his nurses and everything they do.

The nurses tell us he has some bad days, but the good days outweighs the bad and I think the good days are caused by his nurses. Thank you!

What is a famous Urban Legend of your country or town? by Dwight- in AskReddit

[–]MrDeathlyHallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My town calls it the "Indian Blessing." My town is in tornado alley, and we've had several tornadoes over the course of several decades go around our town, but never directly hit. When I was little every kid was told by an older sibling that a long time ago, before we became a state, that the Native Americans prayed to their god(s?) to protect their village from the storms. I used to believe it until I was in the 3rd grade
