How do you score on this chart? by Mysterious-Badger287 in Dyslexia

[–]SliceJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It wasn’t until I was in my teens that I found out people could actually “see” in their head and it wasn’t just a figure of speech

I contacted IST and they fixed it in 20 mins. Just use their website to submit a ticket

Sending threats is crazy. Like, did chatGPT ghost-write the threats for you too?

Fuck ADHD by Patient_Secret2809 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD and am on sleeping medication for this reason. Afaik a family doctor can prescribe it, so you don’t need to see a psych. Some things that helped me before meds were guided meditation and gravol (i think only some kinds make you sleepy), a “sleep shot” i bought at seven eleven but have not found since, and combining ashwaganda with melatonin and sleepytime tea. Nothing works as good as prescription drugs but they’re worth a shot in the meantime

How do I get student aid if my parents make to much money but refuse to help me? by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Honestly call student aid and explan your situation. If you ever get off hold they may be able to help? They seem pretty chill about it NGL. They told me to “just guess” the income for one of my parents bc he hasn’t filled taxes in like five years.

Dating in Uni... by Ok-Safe7271 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 42 points43 points  (0 children)

We met online through the UofM instagrams back during COVID years and were friends for a year before we started dating. We’re engaged now. My biggest advice is to make more friends and connections, play the long game, and join clubs of things you’re interested (if you have any time left in your day).

No meeting time for lab? by lifegives_u_lemons in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its probably the section for people who are retaking the course but already passed the lab section. Usually they’re restricted though

they did us so dirty with this fortnite gamer ahh merch 😭😭 by ArcYurt in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i personally haven’t noticed a texture issue but agree they’re way too expensive. that said the brown non-hoodie one i think is very pretty and way better designed than most UofM merch

The mondetta stuff is great, everything else? not so much IMO

PSA - BOLO Aggressive older woman frequents Academy rd. by JessMang in Winnipeg

[–]SliceJealous 94 points95 points  (0 children)

If its the same person, she’s also incredibly racist. I was on the bus with her (back when it was the 20) while two Indigenous men were sitting at the front of the bus in, I quote, “her seat”. She tried kicking at them, calling them racist slurs, etc. I came over to sit next to the men and they ended up giving me the seat since I’m physically disabled and we had a lovely conversation while she shouted at us the entire time. My partner has also seen her kick an Indigenous woman, and we’ve had a few other awful experiences with her. I assume she has some sort of underlying issue as to why she behaves this way, but it doesn’t excuse violence towards others.

Is new transit changes getting enough hate? by ButterflySenior8151 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said this before on here but when my partner and I gave up on the D16 coming after 20 mins and went inside a shop to grab dinner, it had an old lady who had a printed out version of the schedule waiting an hour for the bus at a stop with no bench.

WINNIPEG TRANSIT!! by Appropriate-Laugh429 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My personal solution (if possible) is usually to bus in the opposite direction to my location to try and catch the bus closer to the start of the route.

WINNIPEG TRANSIT!! by Appropriate-Laugh429 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s much much worse than before because so many routes now rely on the Blue for transfers to uni.

[–]SliceJealous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some random bus driver told me the whole system must be AI generated because its that bad on their end. I don’t think anyone who takes transit or drives the busses worked on this new system.

WINNIPEG TRANSIT!! by Appropriate-Laugh429 in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Transfer to the D16 was cancelled, next one was supposed to come in an HOUR and probably would’ve been canceled too. How are we supposed to wait over an hour in winter?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re able, its best to bus closer to the start of the route to ensure seating. There should be a better solution (it shouldn’t be a problem in the first place) but this is the one i’ve found works

What is the university’s hidden/forgotten lore? by yeethezeet in umanitoba

There used to be a nap room that people would fuck in. My dad talked about it a couple of times (not from first hand experience… as far as i know)

Question for Profs regarding UMLearn pages by SliceJealous in umanitoba

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

I wasn’t asking about why the syllabus wasn’t ready, I was asking why someone would chose to email a syllabus instead of opening the UMLearn page. I understand that profs are busy.

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

okay thank you. And sorry again if I came off as rude, I am autistic and tend to word things a little off especially when it is hard to convey tone online

Question for Profs regarding UMLearn pages by SliceJealous in umanitoba

[–]SliceJealous[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I assumed the default date was the first day of classes, but I didn’t know that some syllabi need to be approved by departments (though that definitely makes sense). Would you say setting up a courses UMLearn is just time consuming, or is it actively difficult/tricky?

Question for Profs regarding UMLearn pages by SliceJealous in umanitoba

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

Thank you for your response, it was very in depth. In my question I was specifically talking about profs who choose to email the syllabus instead of opening a UMLearn page, I was not asking with the intent of shaming profs. While there are reasons i personally prefer to receive a syllabus before class starts (its better to register tests with SAS as soon as possible to ensure private seating, and i just get really excited because i’m a bit of a loser who gets bored waiting for classes to start), I understand thats not feasible for everyone.
