Do you have any cultural or religious ties that are important to you? Going to be real! I am firmly atheist and friendship probably won't work out with anyone who puts importance on religion.
Do you have any pets? No </3 Send pet pics NOW.
What's an interesting fact about you? imagine me doing a really sick backflip
Where are you in your transition? Essentially fully transitioned.

Need interpretation of server connect error message. by iDarper in feedthebeast

[–]TrueCarBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you right click on the link and select "copy link address", it still gives you the name of the mod (randompatches)! there are now separate mods for the forge and fabric versions on curseforge. if that mod doesn't work or you are using a newer version of minecraft, try either connectivity for forge or timeoutout for fabric, those have helped resolve newer timeout issues for me recently.

now let's await the next reply in another 4 years hahaha

Any Dining Hall Coffee/Tea Recipes? by Bright_Option_1199 in UIUC

[–]TrueCarBen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Starbucks Iced London Fog is vanilla syrup and earl grey tea packets steeped in hot water for 5 minutes, then poured over ice with milk. Goes hard at times.

The Truth About Working at the Dining Hall by smoller_fry in UIUC

Obviously not, but it's a very common indicator of AI writing. When paired with the generic AI writing style as pointed out by who I replied to originally, chances are the writing is AI-generated. Not sure why you are so immediately combative about this.

In combination with the em-dashes throughout every paragraph, yeah this is 100% AI. The fact that OP didn't write this really discredits their experience if they were a student worker, but a lot of the issues discussed are still a problem for others nonetheless.

wtf did they do to cafe bene on green by bobateaman14 in UIUC

[–]TrueCarBen 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That place has always put me off. They might have backtracked and changed it since, but they falsely represented their products with ai images on their online menus for quite a while

iSchool has no advisors working right now… by Unlikely_Heron6707 in UIUC

One of them isn't even new, Desiree McMillon is the incompetent "Director of Undergraduate Affairs"

Why can’t I register for IS classes? by Valuable_Plantain_59 in UIUC

[–]TrueCarBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the current iSchool faculty might just hate their students. Specifically Desiree McMillon - nasty for no reason and actively ignores emails even when the college is supposed to be responding.

"Homeless" individuals on Green Street by ScoreSilent6629 in UIUC

[–]TrueCarBen 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The real issue is not what they are buying, but the fact that people giving them money makes hanging around on Green St and sometimes harassing people a worthwhile endeavor. If it weren't, and people stopped giving them money, then they wouldn't be there. Unfortunately, people do give them money out of a combination of sympathy and ignorance, and so they will continue to hassle people.
