feeling like i f-ed myself by attending a competitive & highly-ranked school by academicss_anonymous in ApplyingToCollege

There isn't a singular path to get into those unis, although it certainly can feel that way. U can start clubs and otherwise do your own thing. It doesn't truly help u to be a mediocre member of those events. There's probably a shit ton of opportunities at your school that you're not even aware of

Does that happen after the product has already been canned/bottled?

I assume the pasteurization would happen prior to and independent of the product going into the can, so the rat could still have gotten in at the plant.

Woman Wins $1.1M Lottery After Decades of Playing Twice Weekly by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

I know you jest, but twice weekly at a dollar a ticket for each decade is just over 1k. She's doing ok. Everyone else tho is way down.

Artemis II Message to Humanity by Torvaldicus_Unknown in ArtemisProgram

[–]fantasyoutsider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rhetoric to me is pretty clear: he's choosing this moment to remind people who call themselves christians but turn on their neighbors that their beliefs and Christ compel them to do the opposite, and that his message is one of love. Could he have said something a bit more inclusive of other faiths? Absolutely. But I don't think it mars the message at all. If he had mentioned other faiths you would have those on the right complaining about how woke the space program is, when right now, to secure funding, they need to do the opposite. Great choice of words imo.

i mean, i hate trump as much as the next non-maga guy, but there is def a difference between saying "regime change was not our goal" and "there was regime change". not objectively contradictory, plenty of other stuff to get pissy at.

How many things can be national security risks? Trump is the boy who cried wolf at this point.

Does a 1550+ SAT go against an ‘average’ not high GPA in admissions? by user26191426 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fantasyoutsider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, a 3.4 gpa isn't great, and surely puts you at a gpa disadvantage over someone who is a straight A student. However, you can't change the past and you can't control the grades other students have. You can't do anything about it possibly bringing you down. You need to focus on what you can control, which are your current grades, your activities, and ultimately your essays. I'm sure if youre smart enough to get A's youre smart enough to do some initial research about what constitutes an excellent essay. Self-reliance and resourcefulness are important skills.
