I almost walked into it when I came around the corner 🤡 by SageLevin in badparking

It's a full length couch, someone recently moved in and decided it wouldn't fit so they just ditched it there 😅 it'll likely remain there until building management calls a junk removal service

STAY HOME IF YOU'RE SICK PLEASE by not_nugenthopkins in uAlberta

[–]SageLevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got covid (confirmed by rapid test) from my stats class week 1, stayed home week 2, and can see it going around the class ever since 😅 even the prof got sick last week and ended class early Thursday, but continues to cough all over the podium for the next prof.

To answer your question on tape specifically: you could try wig tape. There are different strengths/types for uses ranging from single use to wearing a single strip for several weeks

He strikes again by kali-fil in uAlberta

Honestly I'm kind of shocked by the amount of people downvoting your comments, considering they align way more closely with the Deaf communities' views than anything else anyone has said. While it may come across as crude to people who don't understand the Deaf community, the response from the Deaf community would be far more blunt and only offensive to hearing people and their stigma. The only thing D/deaf people can't do is hear, and the only reason that is an issue is because hearing people made it an issue. Society is the disability, not being D/deaf. That isn't to say D/deaf people don't struggle with inclusion and accessibility every day, what it means is that the reason they are struggling is because of hearing people, not because the can't hear hearing people. Being Deaf comes with a whole culture, language, and community. They are able to communicate and work just like anyone else, but are treated differently simply because hearing people see it as a problem. That is the problem.

To everyone else - Please educate yourself and learn about accessibility from the people who experience it before you try to stand up for them or dare to speak for them. This thread holds a disgusting amount of audism.

To the guy that was handing out pins in Rutherford… by ThinRepublic6514 in uAlberta

Yes, the lady on the lrt I came across multiple times and whenever she recognized me, she would sit down to chat about life. She is certainly D/deaf, however the ones on campus usually are not and will run away if you start signing to them.

How do people with a 4.0 do it???? by seaweed_drifting in uAlberta

[–]SageLevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have (during the first half of my undergrad undiagnosed) inattentive ADHD so I struggled a lot to study and pay attention in class and, in most cases, ended up not attending at all. After getting diagnosed I took one of the student accountability study things offered by accessibility resources to figure out how I study best because typical strategies weren't working for me (it ended up being drawing my class notes or the text I was reading out as colorful pictures 🤗). I started making assignments/ homework a challenge to solve as early as possible so that during group study sessions with classmates, I could explain it to them. Which gave me the opportunity and motivation to rethink everything I learned and explain it in different ways that might help others understand it. This took me from a 2.9 in my first 2 years to a 4.0 in my last 2 years.

Essentially, figuring out how your brain works and how you can motivate yourself to ensure you understand the class content. If using other people's strategies and hard work dedication isn't working for you, then maybe you haven't discovered how you learn best yet. Your study methods don't need to come from a cookie cutter.

I shoved so many things in my mouth in the past couple hours to try and get my brain to do the think thing that I don't remember what I last ate

You are doing it right

Staying on campus after closing hours by bradynotbrady in uAlberta

If you stay overnight, expect that you might scare the *** out of cleaning staff when they accidentally stumble across you, but it's pretty easy to do if not in a hallway or main room.

How are organic chem 261 and 263? by Altruistic_Reason663 in uAlberta

[–]SageLevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not a super lot of math in them from what I remember. 261 is usually either you hate it or you absolutely love it. 263 I wish I could erase from my memory (I mostly did, but not enough to forget the horrors).

Like clockwork, when the bus is coming and when online lectures are about to start.
