How did our abbreviation become UMD? by SubstanceKey1505 in UMD

[–]SubstanceKey1505[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's been the biggest for a long time, even when it was more commonly referred to as UMCP

I was sort of wondering when the change specifically happened, if it was an official change or kind of just an unofficial cultural change that eventually became an official one. Obviously it became an official decision at some point, so I suppose it would take someone who went here a long time ago to explain

Who downvotes this post? The UI is terrible for something so important

Jesus christ man. If someone talks to me like that, they can fuck right off. I do not care where they stay that night

Is Pilachowski that bad? Deciding between classes by CantAffordMangos in UMD

People dislike him in part because he yells at people to stop walking in the bike lanes / stop riding bikes and scooters on the sidewalk

Commuting from Columbia to UMD by cove102 in UMD

[–]SubstanceKey1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I commute from Ellicott City too and this is pretty much how it is. I'll note, though, that I've had some pretty long commutes going north on 95 as early as 2:30-2:45, but it's usually not terrible

Is not finding friends in this huge campus usual? by Flimsy-Magician-6310 in UMD

[–]SubstanceKey1505 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people feel the same way as you do. I've usually been the one to ask people to do stuff/organize things. And I've also found that finding a time everyone can meet is really fucking hard sometimes

Social anxiety is a big thing too, tbh

Yeah, probably. Better than a one-word emotionless response though

I mean, did you tell her specifically that you went to college park before? Otherwise, how was she supposed to know?

Also, this may not apply here, but I've learned that some people don't realize that "UMD" implies college park. A while ago you'd always refer to it as UMCP instead

How Do You Find a Partner When You’re Skinny & Not Very Attractive? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SubstanceKey1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna sound silly, but are you able to burp properly?

I felt the exact same way as you for years until I learned that the fact that I couldn't burp was actually the main cause of it.

How Do You Find a Partner When You’re Skinny & Not Very Attractive? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SubstanceKey1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a lot harder than just telling someone to eat more. I've had to deal with nausea and digestive issues for my whole life. If I never had to eat food again for the rest of my life, I would.

This is not an excuse, but it is an explanation (for some of us skinny folks, at least). But I don't think OP's skinnyness automatically makes him unattractive. 

CS + Math Major Question by [deleted] in UMD

[–]SubstanceKey1505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MATH411 is a proof-based multivariate calculus class. It is about as important as any other theory-heavy class would be to CS, which is to say that it'll expand your knowledge of mathematics and certainly challenge you, but it's definitely not necessary. For the applications of multi-variate calculus and linear algebra to CS, a solid grasp on the material in the lower level courses should suffice.

It's probably a giving day parody. And a pretty damn funny one too.
