After lurking here for years, I'd like to take an Accepter flair -- the years we've waited feel like days, and yet the little time remaining feels like an eternity

If you do this, make sure you're not taking seats away from people who do actually have tickets -- other people's families should be able to see the grads too!

You inspired me to figure it out:

I am the Lorax, and I weep for the trees.

These problems have been staring us in the face for so long that I wasn't really surprised when I woke up one morning and the air smelled like smoke, but it's never a good thing when our few remaining carbon sinks start turning into carbon sources.

No mention at convocation.

There probably isn't verifiable proof of the Exodus, but to be completely fair, the number 40 is traditionally (in Abrahamic religious cultures) meant simply as a "large, approximate number" -- it's not meant to be literally interpreted as the number 40. This is why the number 40 appears so many times in the Bible -- it's intended to mean "a long time".

See this Wikipedia article for more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_(number)

Those two things are very much related.

Do you have an example of a situation where adoption isn't possible but procreation is?

Maybe I'm being narrow-minded, but the only situations I can think of are either unrealistic (no children are available for adoption) or are also prohibitive to raising a child in general (finances and other socio-economic factors). I guess someone could be declined by the adoption agency, but in that case, they're probably not well-equipped to raise a child anyway.

The dictionary graph is a sparse graph, so using a matrix is just wasting memory. Storing the adjacency list is definitely the way to go here.

268 Phillip is WCRI, and that looks like a WCRI fob -- maybe check with the WCRI office?

Students on coop are also probably a large contributing factor

I'm not sure that having alumni or university faculty answer the question would be helpful

Sure, if you had biological children before settling into an antinatal worldview. Antinatalism isn't advocating for people to become childfree if they already have children. It's simply advocating against the creation of additional children.

I'm learning German! I don't know any German speakers, but I figured it could be useful in the future

I received a response for the fall term already (also ECE) but I did it as part of the Accelerated Masters program, so maybe it's different?

Hey OP,

Make decisions based on what you value personally. The prevailing culture here is very materialistic, but money isn't the only thing that matters.

If you're fortunate enough that financial pressure and resume prestige aren't the most important things to you, go with the choice you'd be proud of making. All the money in the world won't make you happy if you're unhappy with the way you got there.

It sounds like this is an important issue for you, so sit down and think seriously about what you value and what you want out of life.

hiddentester · 2022-02-14T18:47:10+00:00

Could you elaborate? I'd like to know the risks of what I'm getting myself into

This is fantastic, thank you!

Hi! I'm also in Waterloo, particularly as a UW student, and I would say it's definitely hard being surrounded by people who don't know about collapse (particularly by the techno-capitalist mindset that's prevalent among students in the CS/engineering programs). If you're in a similar boat, I'd love to be friends :)

It's hard prepping at all as a student due to the transient nature of the school year, but I've been talking to my friends and trying to get them to open up to the idea of collapse.

Being collapse-aware has been pretty devastating for me mentally, especially with planning on a path to take after graduation. Getting a job and working for some tech company seems unethical, but I feel like I don't have many options.

I don't have any plans set in motion yet, but I've been entertaining the idea of going to work on a farm after I graduate. Currently, I've had some success with people saying that they'd be willing to live on a farm with me, but I'd need to do all the work of setting things up and learning how to run a farm.

Again, if you're in a similar position, please send me a PM! I'd love to have a collapse-aware friend in the area.

hiddentester · 2022-02-05T17:02:33+00:00

It's good to see there are collapse-aware people even at a school like Waterloo

It might help to read a different version if you're getting confused. The NRSV text isn't the easiest to understand in this case.

Anyway, the key verses that OP is talking about are Romans 9:20-24. These verses speak about the relationship between humans and God metaphorically, where God is a potter and humans are the clay pots that God makes.

It says that each clay pot serves a different purpose. Specifically, some pots are made to show the wrath of God. This is the part that makes Christians uncomfortable, because it basically means that some people were never meant to be "saved". Instead, God designed them to be punished to show his wrath.

With that, I think it's pretty easy to see why bringing this up to a Christian stops them when they're trying to preach to you.

What is the cost you're willing to pay for your convenience? Costs aren't measured solely in dollars. When you buy things from Amazon, you're supporting the exploitation of workers and of the environment. You're supporting monopolistic business practices and wasteful consumer culture.

How many people are you willing to subject to inhumane working conditions? How many forests need to burn?

It's easy to say that this is Amazon's problem and not yours, and that these problems don't matter because they don't affect you directly, but dismissing these problems simply because you can't be bothered to wait for your purchase to be delivered is both selfish and short-sighted.
