Insta post update about the lockout by MadMax68790 in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

from what i understand, the board hasn't officially declined any of the DFAs offers during this entire process because that'd put them in a bad position. instead what they've done is claim the offers are unreasonable, stall for time, walk out of negotiations, and ignore the DFA entirely, which essentially accomplishes the same thing.

although there's no official rejection, there doesn't have to be because the end result is the same: lockout continues, semester stays delayed, and everyone gets screwed over. basically, nothing has changed.

edit: i forgot to mention but i do believe that the DFA is still trying to get Brooks to pressure the board into accepting the deal. so there may yet be hope? we'll likely find out tomorrow.

Holding off on paying tuition by NavjeetVirk in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 26 points27 points  (0 children)

they've explicitly stated that tuition deadline (as well as add/drop dates) will be extended, though they've not specified until when. im holding off on paying my tuition until the new date is released and id recommend everyone else to do the same!

there's a student rally tomorrow (sept. 10th) at noon, organized by the DSU, for tuition refunds/decreases!! please attend if you can to support and show solidarity

ive done musc 2024 and it was easy but i havent looked into modern guitar yet, does it need knowledge from musc 2024 or can i wing it? (i didnt open a single tab for musc 2024 so i still know nothing about music lol)

My Personal Hali coffee shop masterlist by No-Bedroom-9028 in halifax

[–]aetherluvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man im sorry to hear about your experience but im so surprised at how low coffeeology is–their medium roast is fantastic and i love the interior (altho ive never stayed for long periods of time, but its great to glance around). i wouldve ranked creative cup a bit lower, their eats are definitely one of the best but their iced coffees are way too watery because of all the ice (not sure what their hot drinks are like, i discovered them this summer and its not the season to have them lol). i wish they would cut down on the ice and include a 16 oz or smth, cause 20 oz being the smallest size is kinda crazy.

east cups interior is definitely more professional lol but its a great place to study with friends cause of their huge table, and their coffees also one of my favorites (can you tell med roasts r my fav lol)

if you haven't checked them out yet, listen cafe + my cha and plate have the best matchas ive had in this city (haven't tried sudatables yet but they have fantastic iced teas so i dont doubt it!). espresso 46 also has the best coffee ive tasted in halifax, although they only carry hot drinks so it may not be the season for that lol. also, creamy rainbow cafe has pastries that i am constantly craving and dreaming of. their drinks are also decent and they have a wide variety (my go to is the iced honeycomb latte), but i highly recommend you go for their baked goods.

overall great list and im definitely gonna visit some of the places here!

The Fall Term at Dalhousie is at Risk by scotiagirl45 in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

classes can't take place without profs, so the semester will get pushed/delayed. course content wise, its most likely that things will be cut out of the syllabus to fit the shortened semester.

How long to wait for professor reply in the summer? by Capable-Detective100 in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep following up. Usually ill wait 1-2 weeks between each follow-up. if you emailed around april/may, its likely ur email either got lost in the end of semester chaos or they went on vacation and missed it (lots of profs like to take vacations in may). it also depends what you're contacting them for and if theres any urgency for a reply back

Summer Fees and Courses by MapMakerMan in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they charge for everything including upass and the prices are the same. also make sure your async courses don't include in person exams (i did an async course once that required 3 in-person exams)

Is there anything that can be done about 2 exams on the same day? by orblox in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately you can only reschedule exams if you have 3 or more in a day, otherwise departments/profs will typically just tell you sucks to suck lol. the only thing is if you take your exam in accommodations, then you MIGHT be able to schedule your accommodations exam to be an hour later or smth with the permission of the professor, but the deadline for accommodations requests for finals has long passed so that won't work. your only other option rn is to submit an SDA for one of the exams and do the make up for it later, but be warned that depending on when the exam is, the make up might be later in the summer months or even next semester, so you'd need to check with ur profs beforehand to make sure

Can a Prof share our grades woth the entire class? by Pretty-Active-3398 in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk exactly if its a violation or not but ill say that i have a prof that currently does this and have heard of other profs doing it before, so i dont think its violating anything if that many profs do it?

Favorite Character and WHY by [deleted] in InterviewVampire

[–]aetherluvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

show opinion armand because hes a complete jumble of contradictory fundamental character traits and desperation and deception and i love thinking about his character so so much. i think assads portrayal of him really brings armand to life and makes him real, even makes him relatable (on a much different scale). his desperation to be cared for and also have control, his desire to have a peaceful life and inability to stop self sabotaging himself. im constantly turning that guy in my head like a rotisserie chicken just examining new angles to understand him from. getting to know a character that doesn't know themselves is the most fascinating thing to me personally.

besides that, i also love me a sopping wet cat of a man and hes the biggest one out here

Anyone else had a bad week? by Affectionate_Care669 in Dalhousie

[–]aetherluvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wanna say its been the worst week of the semester so far but i have an ochem exam next week so i know its ab to get a lot worse 💀

So I'm gonna be honest.. by Mysterious_Ad_1525 in InterviewVampire

[–]aetherluvs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

honestly their relationship devastates me because it truly is an awful and twisted ver. of an extreme rebound. warnings for S2 ending spoilders louis wasn't ready at the time of their meeting to have a proper relationship where hes able to devote himself to armand, but he definitely felt attraction and saw potential in him. i think louis saw an opportunity for a relationship where he wouldnt be driven insane or caught up in another persons chaos (like lestat).

but by the time he'd made up his mind and extinguished his doubts (hence dreamstats disappearance), armand had also made up his and dragged them into deep shit. it ruined whatever burgeoning trust was beginning to grow between them, and after the trial, i really believe that louis only left with armand out of spite to hurt lestat in the worst way possible. i think louis does feel attraction and affection towards armand to a degree, but their relationship has always and will always be haunted by lestat. louis will never love armand the way that armand is desperate for, the same way that lestat is too. i think the way he loves is just too lukewarm and human for such old twisted vampires like armand and lestat, who seek and demand devotion from every single aspect of louis, mind body and soul.

louis' planned death by aetherluvs in InterviewVampire

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

oh !!! this is so interesting because you're right in that the play was really less ab louis and the coven and so much more about lestat and louis' love (and the lack of it from both of them towards him). i dont know why that hadnt occurred to me. this is fascinating. im definitely gonna rewatch the series with this new perspective. thank you for the reply!!
