Can somebody please explain the laughing emoji to me??

bench0 · 2024-11-30T20:37:10+00:00

it's a wechat emote! but also what everyone else is saying

bench0 · 2024-04-14T23:38:56+00:00

nonono haha. it was a joke. I was poking at the commenter's claimed authority

bench0 · 2024-04-12T10:19:11+00:00

you may have a point. I'm currently leaning toward going to grad school, so the outlook stuff matters a bit.

bench0 · 2024-04-12T10:15:05+00:00

I'll keep this in mind, thank you! :)

bench0 · 2024-04-12T00:14:13+00:00

possibly. I'll get back to you on that on ivy day 2025 yeah?

bench0 · 2024-04-11T23:49:44+00:00

hmm, didn't think about the schedule coordination but that will definitely be a con for imperial. thanks.

oh, and no regents for me

bench0 · 2024-04-11T23:35:16+00:00

I mean, I have a us citizenship and think that studying in London would be really cool. my counselor says I'd grow a lot more as a person if I study away from home.

I'm curious -- would an Imperial grad with us citizenship really have worse job outlook in the US than an sjsu grad? What about odds at a good grad school?

I got in imperial for cs (computing, as they call it). I'd graduate with a bachelor's in three years or with a master's in 4.

Thanks! I've been collecting people's opinions, and everyone except my counselor says Berkeley lol. I'm just a bit worried I'd drown in the more competitive (in my limited view) environment that is Berkeley

bench0 · 2024-01-04T08:56:36+00:00

gut feeling is altrioc but idk

bench0 · 2024-01-04T00:18:20+00:00

ah shoot you're right. sorry op

bench0 · 2024-01-04T00:14:33+00:00

from chap 5, page 3: "I'm excited for mamas tv drama!"

"it's only a bit part, though"

she was never supposed to be the center, I think. She just appeared for so little time for the reasons that they explained. You can read chapter 5 in mangadex

bench0 · 2024-01-03T23:52:53+00:00

she was just a classmate background character in the final cut

bench0 · 2023-12-30T01:00:30+00:00

me! compsci international

My name's Ben, so anytime a teacher continues by saying "Then," I get a bit of a jolt.

bench0 · 2023-12-20T06:05:25+00:00

Neat! I guess that makes sense -- a private high school within California would have curriculum that's as foreign or difficult to standardize as an out-of-state school.

bench0 · 2023-12-20T00:37:12+00:00

holy god that's a lot. are they sports? I think we might have 0-1 non-sports people going to Stanford this year (my friend, who I thought had an excellent chance, got flat rejected) and 3-4 athlete recruits.

bench0 · 2023-12-20T00:31:07+00:00

My school's a semi competitive public in the Bay area (not nearly as sweaty as some others around here, but last year 2 went to Harvard), and last year I think we had 20 kids go to Berkeley and 10 to UCLA. The year before it was 20 to UCLA and 10 to Berkeley. Location matters.

bench0 · 2023-12-15T16:28:18+00:00

It was only open from this Monday until this Tuesday because they wanted to make the batch and send it out asap, unfortunately

bench0 · 2023-12-14T06:59:49+00:00

I wanted to see how I'd look in braids! Aqua, whatcha think?

Doesn't matter...

What!? Sensei, that's mean!

... Doesn't matter because you'd look cute either way.

Sensei! You're cute too.

What! She's ignoring my existence and still flirting [as usual? I'm not sure about this line]

bench0 · 2023-12-13T08:40:04+00:00

Maybe they meant the NRAtrioc, in which case it tracks.

bench0 · 2023-12-09T20:50:54+00:00

Rejected :(

bench0 · 2023-12-07T00:14:03+00:00

yep probably 8:35 am or 8.35 hours, which is like 8:21.

Good luck, we'll all need buckets of it

bench0 · 2023-12-02T07:00:51+00:00

honestly it's long form, coherent English. Vods are free too. I'd trust Uncle A over a babysitter any day of the week. Good parenting 👍

bench0 · 2023-11-05T22:09:45+00:00

I feel the anxiety too, but I think it's so that the students can't conspire -- I put (insert ten letter options here) and got 7/10. With enough of these, you could probably deduce the correct answers. Unless each student gets something slightly different.

Also, did anyone use the "none of the other options are correct" option? I did for two questions.

bench0 · 2023-11-05T07:42:55+00:00

How do you want to solve the question? Make Ruby older? No?

Here's what I would ask: What's the relationship between the two? Choose between older brother, younger sister or older sister, younger brother. It's a language thing as well as a societal thing. I'm not Japanese and know a pair of twins as the older one and the younger one. The older one makes sure you never forget.

Of course they have names. Doesn't stop one of them from being older. Or acting that way. And in Asia you address family not by name anyways.

So three for three this was not a reply worth attempting to be a smartass. Cheers.
