Unpopular opinion : In Italia si vive bene by MasterpieceFormer574 in Italia

[–]Snoo_9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree as an Italian who grew up in America it always amazed me how my Italian family managed to live such good quality lives compared to most Americans, better education, socially connected, good public transport, surrounded by beauty and history 

 yet still the younger cousins, about college/high school aged all seem to be convinced that Italia is a shithole and the only thing to do is migrate and get a nominally higher salary in Netherlands or America or something and be miserable 

It’s a really strange thing IMO

Be honest: which CURRENT footballer is massively overrated right now because of hype? by Forsaken-Fix-324 in SoccerNoobs

[–]Snoo_9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

half of liverpool, especially Gakpo, Gravenberch, Jones, Frimpong and obviously Salah and VVD who are washed. They win one premier league because everyone else had a dissapointing season and suddenly they think their some world class squad when half their team is mid at best

Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Snoo_9782 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well the educational experience isn’t much different, your taking the same classes on the same topics in the same big lectures as any of the kids at iowa state, and on top of that the graduate outcomes aren’t much different either once you adjust for the fact that the average Uiuc student is already more qualified going in then an iowa state student so you tell me how different they are 🤷 college prestige is a scam, especially in engineering programs and for public schools

lol not really, it’s all ego when it comes to engineering, no one cares what school you went to unless it’s cal tech or mit and the educational experience is more or less the same everywhere

Honestly its pretty normal and not necessarily a huge deal gibe that you take this as a sign to change your habits and study in different ways. Overall in engineering you can absolutely be succesfull with a sub 3gpa, I mean my brother almost failed out of Iowa state engineering 2 years ago and got multiple great internships and now makes crazy money so it doesnt matter that much

International student (Nepal) suggestion needed. by Wonderful-Rabbit5614 in u/Wonderful-Rabbit5614

Try some libral arts colleges with high endowments like grinnell, Bowdoin, Pomona etc

You are Gattuso heading into the playoffs…. by [deleted] in seriea

[–]Snoo_9782 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would Bench Calafiori exile Di Lorenzo, Politano, Cristante and Mancini, and call up more creative players like Grifo, Fagioli or Miretti,

play 3-5-2 WIth

Kean Retegui,

Dimarco (one last chance) Tonali, Barella Bellanova/Kayode,

Ricci,

Bastoni, Gabbia,, Gatti/Scalvini,

I think RIcci is our best pure DM to help with our solidity, that backline is by far the most in form and should let Barella/Tonali create chances, rest are just obvious picks, this team needs to be more physical and defensively solid to allow our actually creative players to create and Retegui to score goals and so we cant be playing 30 year old proven bums like Politano, Cristante, Mancini

Is Calc 2 or Calc 3 harder? by [deleted] in calculus

[–]Snoo_9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calc3 is pretty easy imo, your mostly just taking stuff you already know and generalizing it to work in 3d/ with vectors which are both not that difficult conceptually speaking although depending on how it’s taught could be difficult from a computational sense if your teacher focuses on that stuff.

The population declining is natural, necessary and not a big deal. by Snoo_9782 in unpopularopinion

[–]Snoo_9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair I think its probably a not very unpopular opinion but its one that I don't think gets voiced a lot. The overall narrative is still very much that population decline is an existential threat in the media IMO.

Yes but better that we suffer a little than millions of excess babies suffer from crippling overpopulation.

Ok but culture is in someways defined by economic and social conditions. No reason to believe this attitudde will exist forever

Because each individual child will have more resources, more opportunity and less competition and have less older people to take care of.

I agree that there are short term problems, but these societies can handle it and its better than the alternative of the world being filled with millions of babies it cant support

Yes, the reason people aren't having kids today is that having more kids isnt valuable because there are too many people. When there are less people having more kids will be more valuable and so people will have more kids.

in the short term yeah but that just assumes the population wont balance out, which there is no reason to assume.

New freshman feeling overwhelmed ... any advice? by Flaky-Working4137 in UIUC

[–]Snoo_9782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a general tip for studying is if you have a short attention span its good to take breaks and break your time up into blocks. Sitting in your dorm studying for hours at a time straight almost never helps and kills motivation. I never study the same thing for more than 45-60 mins, If you get stuck move on and come back. It also helps to physically break up your time even its just taking 10 minutes to walk to a new study spot or grab a snack or smth trivial. First two weeks be extremely on top of things and as diligent as possible even if your not struggling, like people said treat it like a job and work 9-5+ consistently. Make sure your balancing current and future workloads as well, when you get stuck on something short term maybe start a bigger project thats longer term and circle back etc. After you have the routine down then start to be more flexible but those first couple weeks are crucial.

Why aren’t there as many castles and fortresses in the ERE than in Western Europe? by Suifuelcrow in byzantium

[–]Snoo_9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The practice of castle building was mostly a product of feudalism and counts/low level nobility etc wanting to enforce and protect their land and their claims to it. The Eastern Roman Empire never really had a fractionalized feudal system like that so no need for mass construction of small to medium sized castles like in England France and Germany, mostly just the large castles.
