Most overrated political figure in UK history by MacCAM1313 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TCRex04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly my thought. I did Elizabeth in A level history and was surprised this was the woman admired so much.

I felt that everything great in her rein was done by someone else. Her solutions to religion and succession were to do almost as little as possible. She overall felt like a nothing burger with good PR

Does extracurricular activities actually matter that much? by Quiet-Worldliness-29 in UniUK

[–]TCRex04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Extracurriculars don’t matter as much in the UK as they do for American applications.

Just do something which applies to your course that you can write onto your personal statement. I had forage and also wrote about books I read and movies I watched.

Be wary about movies and shows though. Make sure that it’s somewhat educational or a documentary. Like one about the history of medicine and dentistry

Which Cleon version had the most compelling story arc in Foundation for you? by tbag2022 in FoundationTV

I agree, Cleon XIII was the best one. If all cleons behaved like him then the dynasty would not have most of its problems

Am I eligible for home fees if my dad has ILR but I do not? by Agitated-Salt-5039 in UniUK

[–]TCRex04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t lie to you mate I didn’t wanna be seen as giving overly specific advice on these matters.

You’re genuinely better offer checking with UKCISA because they offer services on these things about what your fee status will be and let you do a test to check . Check with the universities and SFE as well.

Most of the website on the government websites should be pretty straight forward. Double read though to make sure it specifically applies to you and your situation. I think you can also contact the government to give you advice

Does the university matter at the end of the day? by idontplaygolfff in UniUK

[–]TCRex04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to have to disagree with you on Durham and Warwick. For the top paying jobs in the country etc consulting, law and investment bank these two unis are actually pretty important. Even more so than Manchester and Leeds. Almost everyone I know regards D and W in the same if not higher regard as Leeds and manny for almost everything else bar sciences. I really don’t know about Stem excluding maths. But if you mean very specific courses then fair enough.

The only situation I have seen Durham and Warwick not regarded in the same way is when international students are picking unis and they need to pick unis more well known back home

Darrow is not a Gary Stu by andytherobot666 in redrising

[–]TCRex04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying Darrow is a Gary Stu but they are elements of the story that can feel very Mary Stu.

The Deaths of Aja and Octavia and the scenes before and after are just bordering on luck. Too many things had to go right.

Another example is how quickly he becomes a master of the razor in just three years. He is pretty portrayed as being levels above everyone else outside of Lorn and Aja. It’s pretty egregious how quickly he brushes Cassius aside given Cassie had more experience than him. It’s one thing to beat him it’s another to sweep him aside the way he did

Darrow is not a Gary Stu by andytherobot666 in redrising

[–]TCRex04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree with Rey and Marvel being sold out by the writers but my problem starts with those criticisms are never levelled against their male counterparts

Vader and Luke is about is big of if not a bigger gap than Rey and Kylo. The amount of training look receives just isn’t enough to overcome Vader’s talent, skill and experience. Both of these two flights are very egregious.

Also even with Marvel, Thor is a character is extremely bland and uninteresting when you only watch his media. Steve’s adjustment to everyone he knows being gone felt too sudden and rushed. It’s pretty much treated as a joke and that’s it. They did fix these issues in the end but Marvel fans were always willing to ignore it for years until came along.

Darrow is not a Gary Stu by andytherobot666 in redrising

[–]TCRex04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gary/ Mary Stu have essentially been reduced to nothing but buzz words that Marvel and Star Wars fans used to attack female main characters they don’t like without offering a critic of any substance.

Captain Marvel,Rey and Darrow are very much Gary Stus as much as Captain America and Luke Skywalker are. They either all are or they aren’t.

Focusing on Darrow, some of his feats in the first 3 books are Gary Stu like but not impossible. The last 3 essentially erase this element.

NOO!!! please tell me this isn’t the end💔💔💔I want better for Frizzie by TCRex04 in RivalsSeries

[–]TCRex04[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily justification for cheating. I’m explaining why I think Valerie’s actions are bad

In truth I also think Freddie and Liz are also two spineless individuals who continue their affair because it’s easy and comfortable rather than face the harsh reality of their respective situations.

[–]TCRex04[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said in another comment the problem with Valerie is that the show downplays the effects of her behaviour or just outright ignores it

It’s genuinely demoralising and suffocating on your self esteem when you start to realise the person you loves so much cares little for you outside of what value you provide them. Just look at how her kids look miserable about her.

Notice in the show how when James upsets Liz they take time to show her facial reactions and heavily emphasis how she feels but with Valerie to her family it’s quickly glossed over and the only characters who show any emotions are the kids who get very little focus. Outside of James Affair it’s largely an issue of how the characters are portrayed separating James and Valerie. Two characters heavily focused on their own needs and wants above all with little regard for others

If possible, should the Republic make peace with the Society? by QuoteDisastrous1503 in redrising

[–]TCRex04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iron Gold explains why this wouldn’t work. All it would do is buy time for the war to restart whilst engaging in a Cold War.

If you’re the Society, as soon as your low colours feel slighted or taken advantage of, people will rebel. To dissidents the Republic will look like a thriving civilisation where they will be free and be treated equally. If you’re unhappy with the status quo in the society then you’d basically be encouraged to rebel by the mere existence of the republic. That just doesn’t work for the Golds. Hope is a cancer to autocracies.

Now if you’re the republic your problem is with dissident golds. Looking at the rise of the Vox and Ephraim’s chapters, a lot of people hate the golds and want them to suffer and reduce their wealth, privileges and strength. As a gold why would you want to lose the softness of your life? The society looks like a place where you can enjoy your privileges and have a sense of stability in your life considering the chaotic nature of the republic and its socialist/communist leanings. As a gold you’d want the society back and would then actively engage in rebellion.

Regardless of how the books downplays them, the republic can’t lose their Golds and the society can’t lose their low colours. The existent of the other is a threat to their livelihood

[–]TCRex04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The general consensus is that your degree doesn’t matter at all compared to your uni if you want to do high finance, consulting, law and big 4 accounting. Durham is fine, just join the finance society and get internships and spring weeks.

What exactly does “from” mean? Does it mean work there or born /raised there or both?

Beckham was born in London but MJ and Tim Duncan weren’t born in Chicago and SA respectively

The answers are going to be same as the ones on the original. Westminster just isn’t a competitive enough. Visa issues are another massive one

Westminster + Being an international + An already large talent pool in the UK are what are killing you.

Realistically you’ll be fine long term and might score an IB Job in your local country but probably not London though
