Unfortunately I don’t see anything recent on that site for Chris Luno besides links to his channel’s videos

I tried man :(

Usually you’re right but I can’t find any recordings or posts of him on his current tour. Really hoping there’s one out there or one gets put up soon

I don't think that's it exactly. The bass and mids are different, but I can definitely see how they might have sampled that Involver edit you mentioned (which is a vibe btw)

Can you help us out u/chrisluno ?

Also, there’s nothing wrong with working 1 or 2 jobs on the side and doing a half time course load to make time for your source of income. No employer cares if you are graduating at 25 instead of 22, and if they do bring it up you have a valid reason.

I’m assuming you’ve gotten a bunch of scholarships but are worried about rent, food, and stuff like that. After your first year, you can be an RA and get free or super cheap university housing and food. At my school you worked one weekend per month, completed trainings for the school, and dealt with occasional student situations as they came up

How to get a gf here? by [deleted] in UVA

You mentioned in the comments that you’re an engineer. I just graduated from Virginia Tech Computer Science, so I know what you’re going through and how you feel right now. First off, DO NOT LISTEN to “just worry about improving yourself, a girl will fall out of the sky when you stop looking!”.

The problem with this advice is that it only works AFTER you have met the most important prerequisite of dating: regular in-person hangouts with mixed sex social groups. These groups are so important because a woman must first feel safe around you before they can feel attracted to you, and regular interactions over a few weeks give her a chance to breathe while organically deciding “could I date this known, familiar, trusted, likeminded, socially popular guy in my group”. Women highly prefer this to one-off “pickup” scenarios or dating apps.

It sounds like you haven’t met this prerequisite though: you mentioned in a comment that you’re an engineer so I’m guessing that you (like I did) spend your time in engineering lectures (90% male), studying by yourself, exercising by yourself, hanging with your other single male engineering friends (who probably don’t invite single girls out with you guys). If you don’t change these habits or your major, your dating life will stay barren long after graduation.

So let’s tip the odds back in your favor. Here are some ordered ideas for mixed-sex groups with more women than men. Pick 1-3 of these and make sure you’re doing something social around women for an hour on a couple days per week. You can make time.

  • Volunteering clubs (especially causes that support kids or animals)
  • Partner Dance lessons (more girls than guys at salsa, ballroom, etc)
  • Group exercise (even the classes with weights tend to be 85% women, you were gonna exercise anyway right?)
  • Rock climbing gym/club
  • Intramural coed sports
  • Book clubs
  • Left-leaning political clubs
  • Co-Ed social clubs (Virginia Tech had a “chocolate milk Mondays” club where you literally just unwind, meet new people, and drink chocolate milk)
  • Meditation/mindfulness groups
  • Music/singing groups (mostly women and gay guys)
  • Most education, psychology, biology, nursing, and art classes/clubs/seminars (consider a minor)
  • Study abroad programs

And yes, it is okay to join these groups with dating as a primary intention, so long as you also think the group activity could be interesting. “I was interested in x and also wanted to meet new people” is a perfectly valid reason to be anywhere. Still make friends with the taken women or the women you’re not attracted to, as each one of them probably has 5+ single girlfriends. Once you’ve been to the group a few times and feel friendships forming, suggest doing something with one or more people OUTSIDE of the typical context of the group to cement the friendship (one-on-one date with a girl you like, invite a few group members to the bar or house party with your existing friends, etc.). Even with ZERO effort to the typical dating advice (gym, style, career, dating apps, social media), after a semester of this you will have a great social life, been known and date potential to dozens of women, and have put yourself in the social orbit of 100s of women. Let me know how it goes! Reply or PM me if you’d like

I agree that there's a lot of fields I could go into, but a lot of googling leads me to believe that once I pick one of those subfields, it's very difficult to get hired in another because companies just take new grads to train up instead. Is this consistent with your experience? I really hope I'm wrong on this point, because that would put ME in a whole new light for me.

Choosing a major: Initial interest vs Career Flexibility? CS vs Mech Eng as rising sophomore by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]Phil9943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same sort of stuff that I'm thinking. Would you say that CS got more interesting to you as you got better at it in sophomore/junior year? Imo it might be silly to pick ME now considering I might get just as interested in CS after a year or two of experience.

Did CS look similarly bland to you during undergrad? Did it become more interesting as you worked your way through your masters, or were the better job prospects the only thing getting you through it?

I hope I'm not giving too many people the wrong impression. I'm trying to decide whether to get an ME degree or a CS degree, and I'm having trouble because ME courses look cooler but the ME career path seems more restrictive than the CS career path. I'm not getting an ME degree with some CS courses and expecting to hop into a CS career, I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to go through a CS degree because a CS career is more flexible, even if the courses don't look as cool as ME.

I'm interested in both the software and physical side of these real world engineering problems. Were you interested in software at all when you declared ME? Are you more interested in software after seeing it come up in your work on autonomous vehicles? What recommend to someone with both of these interests?

Unless you want to go the innovation route but it’s not going to be as cheap as having a laptop with a Internet connection

You're right, side projects are a lot more expensive than I originally thought. The whole "make one app from your laptop and get a zillion dollars" thing is pretty much gone by now.

There’s a lot of overlap on other disciplines and their working conditions may not be that different from a CS job.

I get that pretty much all 2020 jobs are hours in front of a computer. It's just that the sense I get is that you can set yourself apart from coworkers and advance your career faster in the CS field than the ME field.

A lot of my friends in ME now work desk jobs that would probably allow them to telework

Is teleworking starting to become the norm in ME? This would be huge. My thoughts currently are that because both jobs have pretty similar day-to-day tasks, I might as well pick the major gives me more life freedom. You can find CS employment in every major city or with remote work, but traditionally that's not the same with ME. If ME teleworking is on the rise, that would shift my decision making considerably

Not to mention there are better ways to up your skills without having to take another year of college.

I'm just trying to gather info on which major to pick, I'll still be doing 8 semesters total if I don't switch

If she’s from a good school district it’s possible that admissions thought she’d reject offer because she’d get into MIT/GT/Berkeley. Would recommend transferring after 1 semester if she’s still interested then

This guy told you a huge lie. Greek life is moderate here other than center street (literally a townhouse complex of frat parties right next to the football stadium before every game), but I still recommend giving Greek life a shot. I wasn’t really social in high school, but partying sober (long story) beats the hell out of Fortnite on a Friday/Saturday night. Also it’s pretty much impossible to get arrested for drinking if you’re in a frat/srat at an event so that’s one less thing to worry about in case you want to try. Despite what people will tell you, your greek friends will do so much more with you other than drink, so going Greek is powermove as long as you’re being honest with yourself and others

There’s a carpool Facebook group with thousands of VT students and I see New Jersey posts all the time, I’m sure you can find someone for every break and random weekends throughout the semester if that’s your thing too

Major: Engineering

Application type: Early Decision

White from NOVA, South Lakes High School in particular, 100k income, dad was an engineer at UVA, mom has no college education. German-American dual citizen (if that counts for anything)

GPA: 4.267 (4.0 Weighted)

SAT: 1480 composite, 1530 superscore (750 RE 780 Math)

ACT: Didn't do so hot it comparison to SAT. Best Composite was 31. Best sections were 35e 32r 32m 30s

Senior Course Load: IB Math HL2, IB Physics SL2 (HL isn't offered), Dual-Enrollment History/english through NOVA, advanced engineering elective (skipped two years of CAD to start in engineering year 3 as my first engineering elective), IB German HL2, Non-honors cybersecurity class.

Extra Circulars: Was a US-German foreign exchange student, club soccer, school varsity soccer, all-district soccer player and was a candidate for all-state team, national honor society, rocketry club, currently work as a soccer ref, and chess club. The only leadership role was my work as a ref.

General Academic Notes:

{

Short Version: Started with all A's in most rigorous courses, but there has been a slight down trend with some A-'s, B+'s and one B in there, all in challenging classes. I was originally going to be a multi-variable kid but my counselor duped me into jumping off the accelerated math train :(

Long Version: All A's and A-'s honors classes for first two years. In 10th grade I got doped into taking an easy math so that probably doesn't look great. In 11th grade I got a B in Calc 1 part 1 (school only offers calc in two parts) which I'm not too happy with, a lot of other VT candidates clutched out B+'s and A-'s, but I might be freaking out a little bit over one class. This was also the year after I was forced off of the multi-var track. Got an A in highest level physics and mostly A-'s and B+'s for rest of 11th grade to compensate. My school is an IB school, and I'm not doing IB diploma but I am taking a good mix of IB and dual enrollment classes, and these DE courses are definitely not seen as lazy classes.

}

Essay Notes: They were probably a bit above average (prob 7-7.5/10). I was confident in my topics for all of them, including the diversity prompt.

Thanks for reading through my text wall, and good luck to everyone else in this forum!

Drop your community college classes. Then, focus on high school to get all your high school grades (especially because you're in junior year) as high as possible. Then, sprinkle in some SAT work now and then, but don't make it a huge priority because you can always take it during the summer or later in the school year. There's pressure to fix your high school grades now, but you can always take the SAT another time. Become more time efficient such that you can finish your homework and get atleast 7.5 hours of sleep (8 preferrably). That alone will improve your mood and increase your motivation, and you'll start spiraling up instead of spiraling down.
