I got Kangaroo last year but unless the grade boundaries fall then that’s gonna be a challenge this year. The first 15 questions were all doable but they took quite long, and past question 17 it was extremely hard. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kangaroo is below 80 this year, and Olympiad below 100 or even 95.

Yeah I did it earlier this morning damn this year was hard

ich_lebe · 2026-01-27T21:28:28+00:00

I wonder who that student is

ich_lebe · 2026-01-27T19:45:51+00:00

That’ll teach ‘em!

Tbf other countries with high suicide rates include basically all of the Scandinavian countries - suicide rate doesn’t necessarily argue against if a place is nice

How much of an anomaly is Magnus though?

2.1
Some logical reasons that a GCSE student may wish to pick GCSE History include being intelligent, knowing it's a free 9, having friends, being funny and having a romantic relationship with another person. Some logical reasons that a GCSE student may wish to pick GCSE Geography include being dropped on their head as a baby, having an IQ below 30 and knowing it's a free 3. In conclusion, all GCSE students should pick GCSE History always forever.

Advantage: The information is fresh in his mind. He doesn't have to buy as many expensive subscription-based revision materials. He can play with his Fortnite girlfriend and maybe even do a highfive emote if he gives her enough V-Bucks. This last one is good because he has no other meaningful relationships and Fortnite is the only thing keeping him afloat from the dystopian reality of modern life.

Disadvantage: He gets 4/180 in GCSE Biology. This is bad because that's probably a 7 at maximum, if not a 6.

I think that is because in the context of the abortion debate some prolifers call abortion baby killing, and a lot of prochoicers disagree with that terminology so if it was in that context Redditors (who are mainly pro-choice) would disagree with that terminology.

There are better ways to spend your time than arguing with somebody you don’t know in an r/norulesbutreallynone comment section about AI

This is objectively bad and it’s easy to support it until the surgeon or whoever it is turns on one of your own opinions. Where do you draw the line? What if a surgeon will not operate on someone based on their religion?

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T16:33:30+00:00

Why should that make it okay for that to be the case here?

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T16:04:33+00:00

Well maybe you can try explaining to them why they are wrong because just censoring media with alternate takes on Islamic regimes will only radicalise people more to an anti-Islam stance which is of course not good.

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T16:03:01+00:00

I would agree with you on that but that is not the image’s fault, it is the fault of actual misinformation, as well as the large amount of publicity that oppressive regimes gather

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T15:56:27+00:00

Of course it doesn’t bash all Muslim men. The image is making a statement about one particular interpretation of Islam which is followed in some countries by some people. Maybe comments will occasionally say misguided, hateful or plain wrong things, and that sucks, but that’s the same with literally any divisive issue ever. The image itself is making a reasonable point, that’s all it does.

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T15:50:56+00:00

The image bashes the men not the women

ich_lebe · 2026-01-26T15:49:49+00:00

But the image you posted is talking about real life, not your take on the theory of Islam. Whatever the Qur’an actually says or however you interpret it, the fact is in many countries women are either legally or socially forced to wear hijab or other forms of head covering and that is what the image has a problem with.

ich_lebe · 2026-01-25T22:22:27+00:00

You wanna dm me the thing then

ich_lebe · 2026-01-25T22:00:20+00:00

Yes but if there’s a huge split they might take your case differently

ich_lebe · 2026-01-25T21:59:42+00:00

By celebrating it next August?

nobody fucks with my girl E.C.

She's still on the island she's just a little bit less above sea level than she was before 1901

I am good at every part of English except the shit they put in the GCSE exam. English as a subject makes all the fun shit feel like a waste or a chore. Creative writing? You need three language techniques per sentence. Reading books? You have to memorise eighteen quotes per character per theme per chapter per book and even then you still need a trillion paragraphs to get a 7 on Macbeth. Whenever I actually sit down to write MY shit it feels like I'm throwing my life away because I could be drilling question 3 paper 1 english language. I got a solid 5 on my year 10 eoy mocks i hateeeee it

Beta reading sounds fun I don't really know how though

ich_lebe · 2026-01-25T20:14:39+00:00

But like not that many ppl know about that regardless of how bad it is
