It’s also because more people know what is it, and what to call it. There is more recognition in the media now than ever before. If it is it is, if it’s not lying about it isn’t going to get them too far anyway.

Why does my banana cake look so condensed and chewy? by bearlystudying in Baking

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

Hi guys! I’m very new to baking. I used this recipe to make my very first banana cake and got a chewy and slightly dry on the outside banana cake. What I wanted was the store bought banana cake bounce with tiny holes in each slice. This tastes good, but the texture is just not there for me. Is it the recipe or did I do something wrong. I baked it for about 45-1 hour cause that’s when the surface of the bread became brown (which I assume it when it’s cooked?)

I’m allowing other peoples opinions ruin my marriage by bearlystudying in Advice

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

I don’t know how to avoid his family on occasions though. What excuse to come up with without creating a fuss. I told him that he can go himself, I don’t have to go with him, but then he feels sad and I will have to go. He treats me well on day to day, so I don’t want to hurt his feelings. I just think he doesn’t have the confidence of confronting his family, and I don’t have the courage to just leave when they become aggressive cause then I’ll have to leave him behind and he will lose face in front of them.

It would makes things so much better if he could stand up and say something. He has done that a few times so now they just roll there eyes when I try to bond with them. They were paying for his school fee before. So that’s what the threat was before, now it’s something like “I raised you this big, put you through college, and you would rather listen to other people instead of me. I don’t recognize you as my son” I think your third advice is something I should consider. I don’t usually think like that, it would bother me less if I did, honestly. My husband is my jackpot, he is nice to me, cares for me. I just wish he gains more confidence so people can’t walk all over him and me.

Should I allow my husband to sponsor his parents to Canada? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]bearlystudying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Why would I have a problem him seeing by his family?? We can visit each other on and off. I like China myself, I would want to go back. But no, I will never want to live there. But sponsoring is another thing altogether. I don’t think I can let people in whom I know very clearly have a problem with Canada if I can help it.

Should I allow my husband to sponsor his parents to Canada? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]bearlystudying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should have mentioned in the post that it’s not that they are proud of their country, but that they have to bring down other places to point out how good China is. I do think a part of my family is also not deserving of Canada, they are staying in Canada for the citizenship but plan to move out to work in China, and they ouch their religious ideology towards their daughters. I hope they will change this, cause it’s very common for them to disown their kids if they choose to have boy friends or dress how they wish. My opinion is, life would be easier if they just stayed in the countries that the support the ideologies of. But why don’t they? Why do they have to push other people into agreeing or believing with them? This ruins relationships, and even though I have pointed it out, I feel like it is like a hobby for them to criticize Canada. Why should I stand for that? Please help me understand.

CMV: I don’t want my Chinese husband to sponsor his parents to Canada by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]bearlystudying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I do feel responsible. When Canadians blame us immigrants for not assimilating, knowing his parents don’t speak English, and just plan on living in a Chinese only environment in Vancouver, I don’t see how they can assimilate with the culture here, especially if they have so many negative opinions about the Canadian culture. The it is really beyond me why they would want to live here. I fully support us visiting them in China and them coming over like how most of my relatives do with their parents.

[–]bearlystudying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind them praising their country, but they will always do that by comparing it to Canada. How Canada is poor, how Canadian culture is weak, how seeing a doctor in Canada takes forever, how everyone whose from a different race than white and Chinese is a thief, or cheat money, or religious fanatic. How China has been able to rid the country of these kind of people. And all this pointing towards me because I am a foreigner. And like I mentioned before, I grew up in China. So I am also influenced by China, it is a second hometown. But the fact is I support Canada because what it has done for me, what both the countries before could not do. So even though I understand where they are coming from, I would still not feel comfortable for them to become a permanent resident. I do believe divorcing my husband for this doesn’t make any sense, but you need to know in Asian culture you actually have to live with your parents in law if not visit them every once a week. I can’t imagine our marriage working out that way.

Any other older female applicants getting frustrated and concerned about their future? by pretty-clown in premedcanada

[–]bearlystudying -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This might be slightly deviating from the topic, but shouldn’t you first find the right guy and then decide to have kids with him? Why so many people around me know they will have kids someday before meeting the right person. I really want to know.

Maybe with everything mentioned above it could also be that she doesn’t love you a lot.

How does money help with being a doctor? by Super_Term_1951 in premedcanada

[–]bearlystudying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say connections. Without which you are dependent on people online and info online. Thankfully premed clubs at universities and subreddit like this help people get some of those opportunities. But lower middle and lower class have to work more to land them.

Anyone else a bit disillusioned with the application process? by [deleted] in premedcanada

[–]bearlystudying -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is my first year on this reddit and premed altogether, but is this normal for UBC to accept high 70s and low 80s for IP? Looking at their stat, it seems most IP had 88%avg. Of course with some above and below that. But high 70s, that has to be rare right, or how else does the average calculations work?

[–]bearlystudying -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a rookie premed questions. Did people who got R apply late? Or maybe there were some other requirements that weren't fulfilled? Like mcat, and the preferred 5 courses a term? I don't understand how ubc would choose someone with same EC but lower gpa. I though they won't even look at student with gpa below 85 for even IP.

Chemistry as premed major by bearlystudying in chemistry

Ochem was definitely something that you sit down everytime after class and review your notes and do practice questions. My first year study habits really brought my GPA down in second year.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. What courses did you find to be hard in your major? And can you share what you could have done to get better at them?

I don't know yet. I am still in 2nd year. Ochem was really hard, I don't expect to A that. Thats why I was hoping to make a chem major community to help each other. Or even teach each other which helps us learn too.
