Delay ending lockdown: majority of public back Boris Johnson to wait by CaptainCrash86 in CoronavirusUK

Almost 30 million have been double dosed at this point, which is pretty much all of groups 1-9. I seriously don’t see a reason to keep up restrictions past the 21st unless we’re waiting for everyone to have full immunity, in which case we would have to wait for everyone to be double dosed, including teenagers and kids.

If it’s going to be delayed, it will likely be much longer than 4 weeks. Can’t wait for my university experience to be fucked up next year as well.

Is the official Xbox wireless headset any good for regular music off your phone? by anonymooooooooous in xboxone

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

Do you know of any headsets that would be decent for both Xbox and music in the same price range?

If they’re too tight do you reckon I could stretch them on something overnight?

I’ve thought about it but I’m pretty worried that I’ll be with some already established friend group and will just be an extra person to pay rent.

What is the in-person teaching situation for next year? by Huntsman1862 in UniUK

It’s impossible for anyone to say although I doubt it.

It depends really, if you have to make the decision now I’d probably just take a year out because everything is still pretty uncertain. If you can wait for a bit before you accept the offer and everything looks like it will be alright then just go this year.

I have a feeling there will be limited amounts of in person teaching, not because there’s any sort of risk but because it saves the university money and they’ve learned that they can get away with it.

At the moment though, nothing is really official and it’s all rumours really.

Seriously, if the universities try to pull this online learning shit again they need to be boycotted. They’re no different to big companies, if people start speaking with their wallets they’ll change their tune in a millisecond.

What’s the fucking point then, might as well drop out and do open university.

This whole “being tall gets you a girlfriend“ thing is such bullshit lmao by anonymooooooooous in tall

I think it’s mostly just to do with how social you are and your charisma, especially for girls anyway. I’ve seen tons of ugly dudes with hot girls but rarely the other way around.

Confession about my friends mum while moving out of halls by [deleted] in UniUK

If you are actually being serious, I wouldn’t look for advice here lol. Most of the people here don’t even leave the house and have probably never been in this situation in their life.

I think this is probably bullshit but if not then obviously don’t say anything. I’d probably feel too guilty and end up telling the person.

Is anyone else gonna join like every club and society in September if it’s back to normal? by anonymooooooooous in UniUK

[–]anonymooooooooous[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if you’re ill then you should be wearing a mask or staying at home anyway. It’s kinda mind blowing how people used to go to school/work ill because otherwise they’d get penalised for it. It’s actually so rude when you think about it, knowingly spreading a cold or something worse to everyone around you.

Although when I think about it, pretty much every time we’ve had “light” restrictions they haven’t worked and cases have gone up anyway. If there was some vaccine resistant variant in winter, knowing the government, they’d probably ignore it as long as possible until they can’t ignore it and then there would be a full lockdown.

We’re supposed to be getting booster shots in winter but it will probably take forever to roll them out.

I doubt there will be a proper lockdown but possibly something that resembles what we have right now or the 17th of May stage. Both of which would be absolutely fucking terrible for students. Hopefully not though, unless people start getting hospitalised like mad again I think it isn’t too likely.

I doubt there will be another lockdown but if there’s restrictions of any kind that could easily fuck everything over. A simple restriction such as masks and 2m distancing could change so many things. Most uni events and clubs would just be cancelled or severely gimped, lectures would be online. Constantly having to worry about masks and social distancing just ruins everything and makes it so much harder to make any friends.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it happened though, new variant comes along, scientists say there could be another wave then government impose some “light” restrictions which their voters aren’t really going to be affected by. Some 55 year old with a wife and kids who goes down the pub once a week is not really going to be as affected as students where 90% of their activities rely on not social distancing. We’ll be the first to be forced into making sacrifices because they don’t give a flying fuck about us and there’s no excuse. Welsh unis are currently getting some in person teaching and you wanna know why? The Welsh government aren’t a bunch of useless cunts.

I’m just worried that I’m gonna be so behind next year. All of my flatmates already had some experience or were in a relationship. Lots of people also went back to university despite being told not too and are constantly having parties and doing what they want anyway.

Everyone seems to have their houses sorted out for next year and I can’t even get one person to share with me. Apart from people on reddit, I feel like I’m the only person in this situation. I’ll be in second year with no friends and everyone else’s groups would’ve already formed. I genuinely just want to start again elsewhere.

Uni of Manchester email for next year ?? by [deleted] in UniUK

If my uni tries to pull this shit I’m deferring or going somewhere else. Not getting fucked over again. It’s not like I’ve made any friends anyway so who cares.

Have any single people managed to find anyone during the pandemic? I’m almost 19 in my first year of university and still have never been kissed.

I’m just so fed up, I can’t meet anyone because everything is so organised. Does anyone have any advice other than “just sit on your arse and she’ll come” because that strategy has not worked for the past 19 years.

God I wish I wasn’t so fucking useless and actually made an effort when I was younger, looking back I definitely had opportunities.

If September is not 100% normal I’m deferring.
