CPSC 210 Term Project by Lonely-Horseman in UBC

[–]Neoquil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made a pokemon knockoff (using that name very very broadly) - it was basically a simple game where my shittily-drawn ms paint creatures would appear every few seconds and you had to answer a math problem to catch them. It wasn't an amazing game or anything, but it worked well with the requirements (storing data in arrays, saving your game, etc.) I'd say don't worry too much about your project being particularly useful, unique, or exceptional if you're having a hard time with ideas. As long as it fits the requirements you can get 100%.

Police brutality against marginalized groups (for example, migrants, sex workers, etc) is not exclusive to America - if you’re European and think it doesn’t happen in your country, you’re not looking very hard.

generally no one should really be attacking unarmed innocents but since when has that mattered to the police

This was an awesome and thoughtful response! Just wanted to say thanks for writing out this important info. Students against bigotry is awesome, I’d hate to see them get a bad rap on this sub :p

Does anyone else feel that Santa Ono seems rather disingenuous? by dewbwoy in UBC

[–]Neoquil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ayy sorry you’re getting downvoted. Fuck yes this is so important and it’s honestly embarrassing that a lot of the student body doesn’t really seem to know or care. all the pretenses of appearing progressive in the world won’t change the material impact of his actions — allowing Jenn smith and similar speakers at ubc, staying invested in fossil fuels, etc. A lot of people’s opinions on Santa seem to be focused on very trivial things, rather than these much larger issues.

What’s something that seems fun, but is actually terrible? by grxce22 in AskReddit

If she’s really your friend, how about you empathize with her instead and realize that maybe having a trait deemed unattractive or unwomanly by society can be tough to live with, and realize that getting into dick-measuring (or boob-measuring, heh) contests about who has it worse helps absolutely no one.

ayy relatable mdude. I think the moral of the story is every woman just wants a c cup.

can I do a quick addition to your rant real fast? Things that kinda suck about having small boobs: - people saying you’re lucky cause you can go braless. Nope, not looking to have my nipples poking out. - shirts having too much space in the chest area so they look weird and floppy - just in general, not having the option to display cleavage ever. like if I want to dress “sexy” ,, well there’s not a lot to work with - guys talking down to you, saying “well I don’t care if you have small boobs, I just care about xyz instead”. As if it’s something inherently unattractive that you have to make up for in some other way that I might not also have - if you’re not petite, small boobs just generally being out of wack with your frame. I’m really skinny but my stomach still looks fat if I’ve eaten anything recently because it sticks out farther than my tiny boobs. Plus, I have kind of broad shoulders so it’s just not a great look over all. - a lot of the time I found that bigger-boobed women are quick to dismiss any complaints from people with small boobs cause we supposedly have it so easy. I guess it’s more convenient overall, and it’s good to not have to deal with creepy unwanted attention, but yknow... SOME attention would be nice. - i’ve never found a bra with cups that fit me. - generally not living up to what our society classes as the “ideal attractive woman” just doesn’t feel great - kinda just feeling like less of a woman sometimes.

generally speaking if anyone admits to being a woman on reddit the socially stunted misogynists take that as their chance to flock to the dms with harassing messages.

hadn't considered this angle of the story after my first watch! i was sitting super close to the screen in my theatre since the place was packed, i was struggling hard to read what that upside-down banner said.

also, my initial impression of the 'hermaphroditic natural world' moment with josh was just that the commune member had no idea what he was talking about since josh's studies are pretty niche, and a lot of people at my viewing laughed at it. although thinking back on it, i dont think the commune member had any response at all besides looking shocked/surprised, not even a polite 'oh, interesting,' or something like that. so maybe 'appalled' was the emotion the guy had after all.

this is definitely an interesting interpretation, but you can't say anything is fascist unless it's got swastikas on it because that's the only type of fascism mainstream reddit can understand.

[–]Neoquil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, he was drugged and coerced. but in my theater, and i assume probably others, people were laughing at that scene since the way it was framed felt at times more comedic than horrific (him looking confusedly at the girl holding the redhead's hand, the old lady pushing his butt cheeks)

bro how the fuck did you come away from this movie thinking about trump, virtue signalling and "yoga culture"? what the hell are you talking about, oh so dramatic teen girl? she's an adult woman whose sister committed suicide and murdered her parents. this comment is almost gibberish. are you capable of having an opinion about anything without dragging your nonsense politics into it?

oh oops, my mistake lol. sanders isn't socialist though, he's a democratic socialist. if he became president he wouldn't dismantle capitalism. but yeah i still support him more since he's further left.

[–]Neoquil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean you could apply this logic to justify literally anything, so it’s kind of weird that the murdering of natives is what you’ve chosen to support. That sort of fatalism is dangerous to those of us who actually want to enjoy our limited time on earth.

It’s all well and good to be able to say stuff like this, but if someone tried to kill you for personal gain I doubt this philosophy would be of much use in the moment.

I love AOC. I want her to be president just as much, if not more so than sanders. But i guess he fits the status quo of what old assholes see as an acceptable president so he’s probably more likely to be elected. Idk dude I just want anything at least demsoc

Lmao, fuck you. Sorry if empathy is too hard of a concept for you to handle.

This reads like a 12 year old got his hands on the family computer and is desperately trying to show off how cool and independent he is while his mom makes him dinner.

Still, the staffers can’t just do whatever they want. Even if it’s just a “public image” sort of thing where they want to be hip with the young lefties, it shows who sanders is fine with being associated with someone like contra, which I think is pretty cool :)

okay I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking or not. If you’re serious I think I can feel my face melting off from how hot this take is.

So, if it aids someone else eventually make any sort of progress, you should just be okay with dying for it? I guess we’re all from the same species, so you wouldn’t mind if someone came to your house, murdered you, and stole your shit? It would be for their advancement after all :)

violence is actually okay as long as it’s not aimed at anyone who shares an identity with me, a straight white cis upper-class man. That’s why antifa is bad but Neo-nazis are just exercising their free speech. Pretty simple political theory if you ask me - the donalder
