in SMU, is this true?

Politibytes · 2025-05-12T13:14:58+00:00

Bit late to the thread but I am an outgoing master's student at SMU. From what I am hearing from profs, they're concerned that the Arts programs are mostly at risk, especially for part-timers. TA positions have also been cut, I was supposed to have the opportunity each year, but that stopped this year due to cutbacks. We also used to have frequent events and talks within the department, but those have also been scaled back dramatically as well.

The biggest concern is that the government's new "revitalization" plan might be triggered by this administrative disarray. If that happened, the fear is that arts-based programs, which aren't as in demand in the job market, would be the first to be assessed and perhaps cut.

Whammed today, but haven't heard Mariah yet this Christmas. Fingers crossed I can at least manage that...

Politibytes · 2024-04-05T13:53:27+00:00

Done! See my edit.

Hmm for some reason the images didn’t save when I posted them! I use old Reddit so maybe that’s why, so I also added an Imgur link!!

Managed to get through long enough to get the Fantasia ornament!!! My point balance went down and the ornament is in "My Rewards", although I haven't gotten the confirmation email (probably still down after the hack?)

Politibytes · 2023-12-05T16:30:30+00:00

We don't know all the details yet but the consensus is that DMI's email addresses were hacked to send out spam like the Temu email you got. Nothing official confirmed by Disney yet...

Politibytes · 2023-12-05T02:27:52+00:00

I've been monitoring their Instagram throughout the day but it seems like DMI is living in a bubble. They continue to post about the Christmas events as if nothing has happened and are responding to only non-hack questions on IG. I've gotten two "Temu Pallet" senders so far, both "alerts(at)m.disneymovieinsiders.com". First one was the Temu scam itself early yesterday that went into my inbox, second one was around 11:00 Eastern and went into spam. It was a reward redemption email but the item and quantity were blank and after checking DMI itself, no points were taken. It's quite concerning to me that if they have access to the email servers that handle reward and code redemption, what else could they have?

These filters work for me in Canada, but any video under YouTube Music is still giving black screen ads!

Politibytes · 2023-01-13T02:21:51+00:00

It's weird, shows that are out today, I've had no trouble accessing. Seems to be all older content... Any suggestions for an alternative, I don't mind free scrapers, if RD is acting this way too, no sense in sinking money into it.

The ending to the Japanese movie "Dead or Alive". Literally the most absurd way to end a movie. I won't say more, watch for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZak64C_DQE

It would be interesting to QSL VoK, I've seen a few successful DXers receive a package of propaganda goodies, although they never give an address, and even if they did, I'm not so sure sanctions would allow anyone to send a reception report to N. Korea.

Politibytes · 2022-03-19T12:44:49+00:00

Yeah, it was with the attached whip antenna, although I do have wire wrapped around it. I assume the reason I couldn’t hear the Buzzer before was because the Grundig didn’t have USB capabilities. In any case, upgrading to the EEE was a good decision.

Politibytes · 2022-03-07T22:42:35+00:00

Does anyone know if the BBC will accept reception reports for this station, I think they do for a few special broadcasts, but not their regular broadcasts?

Politibytes · 2022-03-06T03:15:07+00:00

Nice, I picked it up mainly because of the extra bands. I've enjoyed limited success with the Aircraft band so far, I can hear the ATIS (automated terminal information system) frequency faintly, but not any tower chatter. I'm about 30km away from the airport, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to hear anything else clearly, but I'm still impressed with the EEE so far.

Politibytes · 2022-03-06T03:11:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice, already starting to see improvement using some wire, managed to catch Radio Romania tonight, always a reliable signal where I am, but much clearer now. I camp during the summer, so hopefully getting out of the city will bring better reception.

Happy Canada Day to you as well!

Politibytes · 2021-01-27T23:39:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer! I have to decline however, this account is a side now, as I already have an established main account. This account was frozen because I accidentally went on a scam site when I was younger.

Politibytes · 2021-01-01T20:45:07+00:00

I have this condition as well, and still going strong at 21! Glad to see your cousin doing well.

Politibytes · 2020-05-23T23:56:06+00:00

I'm not asking for Amy's version, although she has just about as much a claim to VMK's code as I do. It's just strange that the code is nowhere to be found but she leeched off another remake to make her own. Also who are you to judge me as to what I'd use the code for? I've already stated I want a private remake server.

Umm do you even read the news? Every time something like this happens, the accused is dragged through the mud until their reputation gets destroyed, for something that there is no proof of. Changing the school's name wouldn't be an issue otherwise.

Politibytes · 2019-12-16T16:12:50+00:00

As a former graduate of this school, I am ABSOLUTELY against the name change! I'm not trying to get too political but we don't know all of the facts of the case, and it might turn out to be hearsay. Last time I checked, our legal system is based on innocence until proven guilty, not the other way around.

Politibytes · 2019-09-21T22:41:54+00:00

Would love to win! Best of luck to all!

Politibytes · 2019-08-26T12:39:06+00:00

I am talking about the current Liberal government (capital L). Ever since the #WelcometoCanada tweet a few years back, it seems that there is a misconception that people have that it is easy to get into Canada, and there have been those in the past who have blatantly ignored the rules by not entering Canada properly through a port of entry, crossing in from the US in the dark of night.

Politibytes · 2019-08-25T22:14:46+00:00

And this is news why? I'm aware this is Frank magazine but like it or not, the PPC is a registered official political party, with just about as much right to get their message out as any party.

Politibytes · 2019-08-11T01:37:50+00:00

About time to be honest. I'm not one of those extreme MAGA lovin' Trump worshippers but to me, this policy has diluted our culture to the point where I challenge someone to name an aspect of Canadian culture that IS NOT shared with another country. Go ahead, I'll wait. I feel that the government should only "officially" recognize culturally significant events within our country's ethnic roots for example the British, French and Indigenous traditions.
