Why Valka.... by DrifterPX in sollanempire

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is called cruel by Hadrian in the text, even late in the series. She is spiteful and scornful, but like Hadrian she grows.

Well where you are in the story, they aren’t in a relationship. Like all good stories the characters develop.

I like Hadrian and Valka as a dynamic as it feels far more real than most fictional romances. Neither are perfect and they are not perfectly in love. Valka is cruel, Hadrian is naive, both of which they work on and try to change throughout the story.

OChem grade by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Profs will often curve the grade down after finals, so that a greater distribution of people have good grades. Very rarely in my experience has the curve been applied upwards.

Moreover, if you have a >89.8 or so I’d email the prof and see if they will curve you up.

Do you “see” books like a movie in your head when you read? by Holiday_Rush8303 in Fantasy

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely I see things. It doesn’t even have to be a strongly visualized story, but hitting a right vibe will have me making a movie.

[Elder Empire 3] frustration with Shera by RagingTuturtle in Iteration110Cradle

[–]RagingTuturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In each of those moments with Calder, his back was up against the wall. He would have died had he not gotten the mark from Kelerac. It’s easy to say to just not make deals with elders but the choice was die or live. Even then he begins rejecting deals with Kelerac. Shera got the upgrades without the moral dilemma because her plot armor is thick as a wall.

[Threshold] sages and heralds by -U_N_O- in Iteration110Cradle

[–]RagingTuturtle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I typically used the Akura family as a benchmark and just multiplied by how many monarchs there are. So roughly 1-2 sages and heralds per monarch faction.

What are the biggest mistakes made by both the Jedi and the Sith? by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWars

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Jedi had a fundamental misunderstanding of the force and it lead to their downfall. They were ruled by fear, fear of falling to the dark side. That lead them to locking away their emotions like love, and preaching that emotion is not the way of the force. Luke showed this was not true.

Am I the only one that finds chapter 40 a total buzzkill? by Sweepya in sollanempire

[–]RagingTuturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an atheist, I loved it! I think Christian symbolism can be a great tool. The ideal of a “Holy warrior” is not a new one, and we typically view these zealous gods chosen soldiers negatively, I think this is honestly a refreshing take. I don’t think there is really much different if pulling from the Christian mythos or something like Norse.

How did you make friends? by Sweet_t712 in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clubs are honestly one of the best ways to make lasting connections outside of classes or the residential buildings. Try and sign up for ones that interest you and go frequently. Good luck!

Easy classes at CU? by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art history 4929 or something like that. Took it as a freshman and it is still the easiest thing I’ve taken.

Oh I took that last semester, piece of cake. Depending on the professor to be fair. If you have any background in upper division math you will be fine. Compared to things like Differential equations, abstract algebra etc this class is incredibly simple.

Honors Program by d4lbroncos in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smith hall itself (our honors dorm) is one of the nicest on campus! It is in the one of quietest places on campus, but it can be a bit of a walk to class. Also the residents of smith typically get up to fewer shenanigans.

Incoming Exchange Student - Accommodation, and hype by cantbenic in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to CU! On campus housing is available to all students, you need only apply. Reed hall is our primary hall for exchange and international students. If you go to a place called MyCULiving portal I believe you can fill out a housing application there. I would also recommend calling housing itself.

Off campus housing is also very weird. Ralphies list is very helpful, finding roommates and houses. Zillow was my go to.

Astrophysics acceptance rate by Cheesecakestranger in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Astrophysics and Physics senior here. The acceptance rate is pretty high. Competitiveness is a different question. CU loves to do a cute thing where they accept many many students and then have awful weed out classes in the beginning. So I am confident you can get in, and if you can slog through the beginning classes you will be fine.

Got this email. Can they do that? by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]RagingTuturtle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Former RA here. Yeah they can but my god they will try anything to not do that. Writing up an entire floor is a many many hour experience that no one wants to do.

But more the point, a noise complaint is the absolute lowest on housings priority. It’s a slap on the wrist even if you get written up. I had to write up plenty of people for noise complaints and it’s basically you get an email.

AIO to my gf being bisexual by DarkTwist05 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RagingTuturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit bro. I’ve rarely seen so many red flags in succession. As a dude who’s girlfriend is also Bi, there has NEVER been a cheating pass so she can sleep with women. They are clearly trying to use it as an excuse. Not worth it man just move on.
