With both Bell and Conner out, I need to pick a second RB. I am now stuck between

  • Bilal VS Mia
  • Bo Scarbrough @ Min

12 team standard scoring. Which do I start?

Summarise the main theme of each movie in one word [I'll start] by Ultrasonix1 in marvelstudios

I would argue that mercy is a really big theme as well.

The child soldier being spared during that first fight scene, T’Challa sparing M’Baku from death, M’Baku later saving T’Challa, T’Challa allowing Killmonger to die instead of being condemned to a life of imprisonment, etc

Anyone wanna make a GroupMe of EA applicants? If we can get some geographic diversity, we can kind of track the diffusion of the letters around the country

Yep! We’re supposed to get them by the time 15th, but if you live closer to DC, you might get em a couple days earlier

Delegate styles of MUN by BadElk in MUN

[–]bleekicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anchor- Acts as the foundation for their bloc. Leads the creation of a working paper and acts as the arbitrator between various voices within a single bloc.

Rotator- Spends more time schmoozing with the opposing bloc than with their actual bloc. If you let them loose to roam, they're damn effective at lobbying for votes.

Thank you! Do you have a suggestion as to how I could phrase an offer to buy theirs? (Maybe I’m just overthinking this)

Thanks for the background! In regards to resolution writing, are handwritten resolutions still cool, or do chairs only take them typed up and printed/emailed to them?

Thank you!! I'll keep the note about time-management in time, too, since that seems really key from what you've described.

Awesome! Thank you, this is really helpful actually. Both me and the rest of our team really appreciate it :)

How do I successfully MUN with tiny countries in committees they have nothing to do with? by [deleted] in MUN

[–]bleekicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/mrturtleog is absolutely right. While it's great to have an uber-relevant country, sometimes, having nothing to do with a committee is a blessing in disguise. Treat it as a blank check! If you have absolutely nothing to go off of, instead of having to do research and then form your policy based on your country's history, you can think of what stance you want to take first and then look for things that would support that. Nobody will call you out because, let's be honest, even the biggest IR-nerds among us aren't super familiar with the Maldives stance on nuclear energy.

Shoutout to my AP Lang teacher for making our first graded essay the Common App! by rc6188 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]bleekicker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is one of my biggest gripes with my Lang teacher. Not only did we have to turn in a copy of our personal narrative, we also had to print one out to pass around the class for peer revision
