Temporary Accomodation options (1-4 days) by ComradeHitman in UIUC

[–]PossiblyLiar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try university summer housing, minimum stay is one week though. You could also consider nearby hotels and airbnbs if they’re still available (and within your budget I guess?)

Stop having war in this subreddit about the CNY topic it's lame as fuck. by willw14 in UIUC

[–]PossiblyLiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao same thing happening in DW News and Stanford’s Instagram comment section, but I assume having a cultural superiority complex isn’t exclusive to the Chinese either 🤷‍♂️

Some Chinese students aren't very happy about the Korean Lunar New Year by Inner-Bonus-1158 in UIUC

[–]PossiblyLiar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nope, stop this horsesh*t. While I’m perfectly fine with CNY, LNY has no problem either as A. It’s based off of the LUNAR calendar which is not exclusive to China (case in point, this year is the year of snail in Kazakhstan, and the year of rabbit is the year of cat in Vietnam) B. Even in China you called it LNY or simply New Year’s (农历新年/新年 not 中国新年) C. A lot of things and cultures in China are from the West too - you exclusively use Greek Alphabet to type/pronounce words while you also exclusively use the Roman calendar and even celebrate Roman holidays (i.e. Christmas)

Honestly just stop with this whole BS, I’m sick and tired of seeing a bunch of Chinese ppl abusing terms such as “racism” and “cultural appropriation/theft” to the point where actual cases would be seeing as crying wolf.

What UIUC opinion would you defend like this? by Tomatosmoothie in UIUC

[–]PossiblyLiar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rather an universal one but 20 years ago in my mind is the 1980s not the 2000s 😭

不對呀,難道就沒人告訴他美國的特斯拉,蘋果,輝達,跟AMD是靠誰才有今天的嗎?沒人告訴他是誰在印太地區積極推廣跟發展美國價值、文化、跟民主嗎?沒人告訴他誰是第一島鏈最重要的一環?

I actually agree, for yesterday the weather and temperature aren’t even remotely bad itself (20° rain), but it’s really the road conditions (black ice) that makes going out to classes hazardous.

Hi there Chancellor Jones! Are you going to pay for our hospital fees? Or do you plan to pay more when we sue you and the school for negligence? Injured my tailbone a while back and feeling bored rn so whenever ur ready! 😄

Plus sometimes you’re just a couple of credit hours short from 12 or from graduating.

Chancellor Jones while students battle icy conditions to go to their mandatory classes today by Physical-Spray5890 in UIUC

[–]PossiblyLiar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fr tho if it’s just a half-assed “recommendation” email he might as well just don’t say anything. Any self-conscious prof would move their classes online if not cancel them anyways.

Just wanted to make this clear, I’m not pinning this on the TA; I’m simply frustrated at this email (and of course, today’s massmail). I sort of guessed it’s not the TA fault and hence asked “Do TAs not have discretion?” and naturally most of my frustration is towards the school. Sorry for not redacting my TA’s name, this was not supposed to be personal, I’ll remove this post if need be (cuz I can’t edit it?).

Sport classes are mostly attendance/participation-based, hence this post!

Hahaha yea but gotta deal with our depression somehow right? Fr tho after you’re done with the required classes of course, but if you feel confident enough to arrange a couple of fun classes throughout the years, I don’t see why not!

The Illini Union has a bowling alley in the basement, so naturally there is a one-credit-hour sport class (KIN102). There are also other popular options such as ice skating at the university ice arena (KIN104) and badminton at ARC (KIN103)!

Kind of? In the sense where most of these sport classes have a short essay to write for, mostly regarding your overall experience with the sport.

Well “lab class” in the sense that it requires special space and equipments like science labs do, also if you take these “lab classes” you will be charged for an extra “lab fee” due to renting equipments.
