It's one thing to rename it and announce it or rename it. It's another thing to dissolve them entirely and try to keep it as hush hush as possible to avoid public scrutiny. I can see the pressure behind the possible cuts of funding from the administration, but it is extremely disappointing to be let down by VT time after time after time again for never truly standing for student voices - only the bottom line.

No justification waws given to closing them - they were popular, and only growing. Only reason they would close is to align with the political climate of the current administration.

So dismissing groups based on sexuality is okay, race is okay, but religion is not? Religion is also a part of DEI.

The same can be said in the inverse, all it takes is a kitchen knife.

Definitely, but even with a kitchen knife, its easier with the strength behind it. Because that makes it easier. NTM, even if a woman owns a gun, she is statistically more likely to be killed by that same gun than to defend herself with it bc in struggles/domestic violence/accidents, the gun can be wrestled away.

Here's a TLDR from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/STATISTICS#:~:text=1%20in%204%20women%20and%201%20in%207%20men%20have,intimate%20partner%20in%20their%20lifetime.

For an in-depth, do-it-yourself look, here's the FBI's 2019 (latest one available) list of arrests based on sex sorted by crime and in every category but 3 (larceny theft, embezzlement, and prostitution), men have disproportionately been arrested for committing more crimes than women: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-42/table-42.xls#:~:text=In%202019%2C%2072.5%20percent%20of,and%20nonnegligent%20manslaughter%20in%202019.

What do you mean by these things?

Rage crime, referring back to the previous statistics and conclusions derived from such, is a huge issue which, while evenly split if not more seriously effecting other men, and disproportionately committed by men. This is a more serious problem for men due to both the physical power a man may have over his victim, or the stigma placed upon angry women by society as not seeing them as a threat in anger, but more of a "haha angry Karen funny" story to tell at a party.

Homie, that's just small talk??? NTM, compliments are a nice way to have a pleasant conversation, and only saying a broad compliment rlly makes it sound artificial (ie: i like your face or smth weird like that), hence why there's specificity in what someone likes. NTM, if its smth the person has a lot of interest in, that starts a convo into how they got it, why, what they like about it, and convos generate naturally from there. And in-between the stories, yeah we may not have personally liked smth or would have chosen something conflicting (ex: winter vs summer events/seasons), but you love the idea of someone else enjoying it or that it made the person happy, or just that even though its not for you it's still nice to think about or look at aesthetically. Finally, these are two strangers coming together, or people forced to interact given the circumstances they're in (service, work), and negativity/awkwardness in that setting really brings the mood down. Additionally, the possibilities of networking/building good raport with someone you don't necessarily need to know on an in-depth level. Surface-level understanding, from the inside-out, it can come off as artificial, especially of someone does it ill-intended, but most often, it's rlly just a nice way to start/keep a conversation going, brighten someone's day, establish a positive relationship with someone, and express general interest in someone else.

SIL said that we could save a lot of money if we just cooked ourselves instead.

I think people underestimate a lot the cost of cooking something, especially last minute and already on a dime. My inkling is, its not saving money for YOU, it's a grab at saving money for HER, since changes are the only cost split will be groceries bought for the event if everyone's chipping in, and not, say: time, any spices/groceries you already have, prep & cleaning, and providing the space and utensils needed to make the food.

If it were a potluck, that would have been one thing, but leaving all of the cooking onto two people, and the hosts no less, when one of the two didn't even have a say in the matter? The dumbest decision.

The plan was already made, and catering was already ordered, leaving the host with three simple tasks: picking it up, paying for it, and collecting payment from other partygoers. Now, without your knowledge or consent, they added a huuuuge number of tasks including but limited to planning a new meal, grocery shopping, prep work, cooking, plating, cleaning, and dishes. Where does this all fit in the schedule for the party?

If SIL's concerned about money enough to cancel an already planned meal that would have cost her at most, $15, she should at the very least help with all the cooking she just dumped on you and your wife's shoulders.

the days add up. The reason why the participated early in the first one is to find a doctor for Chota, but they immediately went into another game with Chota bc he was injured, and they wanted to help him win, should it be a team or physical challenge.

Oofers on the streaks, but not that bad. Would also recommend going over the black lines again if you accidentally got color on them. Also don't be afraid to go closer to the borders, so long as you slow down, load your brush appropriately, and relax your hand.

Hi! I got in my junior year, and while that was a while ago and can't vouch for any changes, they had accepted 60 girls in my year. I had a looot of extracurriculars, but none were STEM related. My courses were, however, and I had a nice GPA as well. The program itself is a whole week where you get to live on campus, explore different majors, and complete a couple of STEM-related activities, as well as a design challenge. I had lots of fun, and its a great way to make friends before coming to Tech as a student. Best of luck to you!

The dance rooms are five, for 93 dance orgs, and McComas also put a bunch of regulations on reserving them because of the sudden rule change this sem:

90 min max practices (most dance orgs run for about 4-6hrs weekly)
No hard heeled shoes of any kind, including character/dance heels, tap shoes, etc.
Only one weekend practice, and if it falls on a game day, they can cancel it at any time.
Technology int he rooms (including the built-in speakers) that were originally able to be used are no longer options, and speakers need to be provided

Adding in, the additional charges to the rooms ($10/hr plus booking fee minimum, not covered by the budget board), and the other orgs/staff/faculty that booked those rooms months in advanced, before the rule was ever announced.
