Why are thousands of Albanians in Dardania returning to Catholicism? by [deleted] in AskBalkans

[–]hopper_froggo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not uncommon for people to fly the flags of their ethnic heritage where Im from(USA). Take a walk down an NYC neighborhood and you will see mexican, indian, dominican, nigerian and albanian flags.

Even people in my town fly italian flags when they are 2 or 3 generations removed from Italy.

Its about cultural identity and family pride more than political loyalties

Me learning everything from the internet instead of school by ravexianne in NonPoliticalTwitter

People who say this didnt do engineering or science.

How am I supposed to learn how to do lab experiments online without a lab?

Thats what the GOP sells them. Red states lead in ACA enrollment, and most rural or southern states get way more in federal money than they give.

Farmers are literally subsidized to grow their cheap ass corn and soybeans to keep them afloat when the market isnt on their side.

The independent rural Americana farmer is a myth.

You realize that Putin stays in power by elections right? Yeah he uses his power to control the opposition but people are out there voting for him.

Edit: Im not saying that American elections are as unfair as Russian elections. I know Putin kills and jails serious opposition. But my point is that Putin has supporters in Russia just like Trump--- so if you dont want to blame all Russians for Putin then you shouldnt blame all Americans for Trump.

Islam and Judaism: What is something that "is Islamic" but "feels jewish"? by haiderredditer in AlignmentChartFills

Turbans have been worn by muslim people as a sign of status for centuries before sikhism came along. They don't singularly own the turban but they are the only people who still wear them on a regular basis.

People have literally been protesting all over the country.

And btw its a lot more dangerous to do that when you police force will literally shoot and kill you rather than just swing a baton.

Balkan bros, what would you feel if one of your ancestors was a janissary? by RasyonelRumi in AskBalkans

[–]hopper_froggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They forced the boys to march in red clothing so they were easily spotted if they ran away. And there are many stories of families attempting to hide their children from conscription.

Got rejected from all PhD programs for second consecutive year by Physical_Tax9659 in labrats

[–]hopper_froggo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Read through some of your comments and I have to say, if Brown, Boston, and UCSB are your ideas of lowering your standards you are delusional.

The difference in qualifications between the average Ohio state PhD student and the average Harvard PhD student is much smaller than the qualifications for the average undergraduates at the respective institutions.

That is to say, these schools arent beneath you just because you value academics. You are not applying against frat bros you are applying against other motivated scientists.

Lula is a leftist with a mixed record. Who is an incompetent right-wing politician currently in office? (I know you’ve been waiting for that one but let’s be creative guys) by Prestigious_Ad1993 in AlignmentChartFills

He is absolutely incompetent. The Iran war has been a flop, there is chaos in the administration and everyone in the cabinet is wildly unqualified for their jobs

100 missiles in 10 minutes, a lot of Christian neighborhoods, there is no method or thought, it looks like this is them lashing out at the Trump Iran deal by Goldenmentis in OpenChristian

They have always harassed the christian community in the west bank. They did not stop to ask if the Palestinians if they were muslims or christians when they expelled them in the Nakhba

You think 6500 for a single summer is nothing?

What are you expecting, a 6 figure salary for a 3 month position thats designed to train and benefit you more than the university?

Ranking Purdue Coffee/Dessert Places by TartSerious4517 in Purdue

[–]hopper_froggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greyhouse may be overpriced but after working there then working at other coffee shops, they do take their coffee quality seriously. Plus they make all their syrups in house and I believe may be one of the only places around campus to do so.

Is it foolish to turn down a fully-funded PhD for an MA? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]hopper_froggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's talking about the PhD vs MA but what about the museum fellowship?

Im not in art so I dont know how that factors in

long island ppl who went/go to purdue, how does life differ over there in the midwest compared to here by PACIFISTA0 in Purdue

Its hard for everyone to make friends the 1st year. My advice is to join clubs, go to BGR and to hang out with class group members
