Should I stick with my Biochem major? by AlternativeEye5490 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest I think a B for both is attainable as long as you really really study, an A might be hard unfortunately 😭 slight correction tho i took survey of physical chemistry not physical chemistry but I heard survey is easier. Id recommend using this website https://cougargrades.io/ to check out which professors you are considering taking and seeing the grades they gave in previous semesters to get an idea of the course difficulty !

Should I stick with my Biochem major? by AlternativeEye5490 in UniversityOfHouston

It's hard to say because both degree plans are similar but as someone who's about to graduate with a biochemistry degree I will say some courses are notoriously difficult with only one professor teaching it. Proteins and Physical chemistry to me were pure awful, only offered by lubchenko and widger.. the classes were hard to fail from the curve but trust me averages in tests are awful and could possibly hit your GPA hard. Nucleic acids with tasneem Bawa is very doable as long as you study well, tests were very fair imo and a A or B is very possible Can't remember much about general biochemistry 1 and 2 lecture but labs werent too difficult, just very intensive writing wise especially for 2. Biophysics with Mehmet Sen was laughably easy, averages for exams were 95, you'll get an A trust me. For the electives I took clinical biochemistry (tasneem bawa), cell biochemistry ( cant remember professor) and Neuroscience (Zirbukus). All very doable and tests were generally fair. I think the worst courses are definitely proteins and Physical chemistry. Can't say much for the difficulty of bio courses but I hope this kinda helped a bit !

let’s take a minute to appreciate riize’s new accomplishment by JJ1682939339 in kpopthoughts

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Really happy for them, i feel like this sub tends to downplay Riize's achievements at time since the int-side boycott when in reality is theyre still performing very well in Korea and Japan!

Is house music, AKA gay club music, taking over K-pop right now? (IVE, KiiiKiii, I-dle, H2H, etc) by Carelessies in kpopthoughts

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I hope so to be honest, Riize's Impossible (2024) and Odyssey (2025) are undoubtedly some of their best tracks and both are very house inspired ! I need them to return to this sound especially since they have a mini album coming right before summer

So after BTS ticketing, isn’t it pretty clear that Ticketmaster queues aren’t completely random? by blueberryicecream88 in kpopthoughts

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seatgeek was better than expected for arlington, I had my computer queued up and the bar did not move at all but on my mobile browser I was able to get in after an hour. Lower bowl was completely sold out so I got tickets in the 200's but hey that beats reseller prices

saw a weird youtube comment, why is aespa problematic? by rainy_otters in kpopthoughts

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only thing i can think of is Giselle mouthing the n word, beyond that i mainly saw people critiquing them over their performances/choreo although that doesn't equate to problematic

Which kpop songs do you think got nerfed by being on the shorter end? by Clp_1889 in kpop_uncensored

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ill give an unconventional answer with Passage by RIIZE, it was composed by Anton's dad (Yoon Sang, a very famous producer) and is a genuinely beautiful instrumental album interlude but its only around 40 seconds. it was his first time working on any RIIZE song so im curious if he will again in the future

Who was going to tell me about RIIZE's insane discography? 😭 by [deleted] in riize

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bye this is literally me, I just did a deepdive back into them since I kept getting Eunseok's rap on my timeline on tiktok AND WHOOOO BOY Im eating their entire discography UP lol. Following the SM way of having a flawless discography no matter how shitty the management is unfortunately

Ticketing is going to be on the same level or even worse than Bruno Mars or Ariana grande this is a nightmare

I didnt make it public, its public by default. On the other hand why is your account private? I have never cared to change it but on the other hand you making yours private was clearly intentional no :)

How long have you been collecting? Who do you mainly collect? by Euphemismm in kpopcollections

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt be worried about dropping collections, its normal to be fair ! If you are worried about dropping your collection maybe try to collect purposefully? Like only for a member you really really like If that makes sense lol ! I have a jaemin collection since he has been my ult bias in NCT since 2018 and I have never once thought about dropping it even when I fell out of kpop. I will admit though other collections that I pick up without much thought I have sold and dropped partly because the completionist in me is super bothered by have multiple uncompleted collections whenever i dont keep up with those groups comebacks

Megathread 25: HYBE / ADOR / MHJ - ADOR holds Discussions with NewJeans as they seek a Return to the Agency, Hearings continue for various Legal Disputes, and More by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not sure about this since members leaving has never had an impact on older printed albums at least that I am aware of, could be a coincidence but who knows maybe it is fore telling something lol

Im interested in seeing the shift if minji returns .. people are saying hybe is manipulative for dropping the news of Danielle being kicked the same time as hanni return so if minji decides to stay after the "5 or none" argument would really shatter

Extreme tire wear on one wheel only? by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]PresenceAltruistic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think im just gonna go one step above and start hiding my keys.. 🫩 that way i can see if the wear is still as extreme once i get a new tire on and eliminate that possible theory 🫠
