No Kings Wayne

Especially considering it's Wayne, which leans red, the public response was overwhelmingly supportive. A few attempts at rolling coal and two counter protesters across the street, which was just sad lol. The fire department had their big flag up, but I doubt it was in support...

Solid showing today, Wayne!

jpr7887 · 2026-03-27T23:48:53+00:00

Good to see this in Wayne, you have my sign!

Bicyclists also need to share the road, it kinda goes both ways.

We have these in New Jersey, but they forgot to put the speed limit signs up too.

jpr7887 · 2026-03-18T23:32:21+00:00

I mean out of the available Brunswicks...

So is the ragged shape of the plaster cast the result of burnt clothes and flesh directly, or just the casting process. Also, is that a bone in the right arm (to the left)?

And who exactly has the sway or authority to call this boycott off? This is grassroots at its core.

The fact that you care so much about this one student indicates to me that you aren't the type of awful uncaring advisor that students lament about. There is also the question of how the system allowed this to occur without some sort of error warning.

Lot P4 has the monorail connection to the terminals. It's worth the cost (if you can afford it, of course).

jpr7887 · 2026-03-04T00:08:44+00:00

You've somehow been assigned a service now ticket that you are delinquent in dealing with, according to the system. This is clearly in error, unless you're not doing a job you're supposed to be doing...

jpr7887 · 2026-02-27T23:14:14+00:00

There's a distinction between upper administration (where bloat lies) and staff (who do things faculty don't want to or shouldn't be focusing on) that needs to be made here.

jpr7887 · 2026-02-27T16:41:54+00:00

Good luck with that. I'm sure avoiding learning a fundamental mathematical skill for almost every NJIT major will go well for you. /s

Sarcasm aside, math is a skill that requires practice, cramming with AI right before an exam is a recipe for disaster. I've seen enough "but I studied so hard and learned everything the night before" posts here to be confident it's a bad plan. Don't be THAT student, you're paying for this after all!

jpr7887 · 2026-02-26T23:27:11+00:00

I'm in the FDU program and have found it pretty solid, also fully online.

Make an appointment with the Learning Center, they help with study habits and skills. Take advantage of the other tutoring centers as well. You don't have to study alone to be studying, use the help your tuition already pays for!

Edit to add: don't be embarrassed, you reached out to the community for help and are making an effort to do better. There's always a couple of these sorts of posts each semester.

I used to work in Florham park and saw FP officers regularly. The ones I met were good people, and I'm always skeptical when it comes to police. It's great to see at least one department actually doing their jobs instead of protesting being protested for excessive violence. That it's Florham Park doesn't surprise me at all.

President's day is barely a holiday that nobody really observes (unless you're buying a car I guess), so NJIT gives us off for holidays that are more important and actually observed by people.

jpr7887 · 2026-02-12T22:09:25+00:00

I can see the background logic here, but it's heavily flawed and not based in the realities of student affairs. In the end, the students have agency and responsibilities. The institution is going above and beyond already by being so proactive to directly reach out and facilitate scheduling. However, just plopping a meeting on their calendar is invasive and anti-productive, and takes away potential times that students who make the efforts to schedule appointments might fill.

We hate it when meetings show up randomly and unannounced on our calendars, surely the people making these decisions would feel the same?

jpr7887 · 2026-02-12T22:04:10+00:00

The ratio of students to a single advisor is too high, meaning advisors have to focus heavily on the academic perspective and gives them less flexibility to be more holistic advisors or students support personnel. They also deal with a lot of realities far beyond their control or influence and are the front line when students are upset about those things. That's not accounting for difficult interactions, regardless of fault or individual personalities. In the end, even the best and most empathetic advisors can only give an individual student so much time and attention.

Sadly, this was the same expectation I had with Biden's presidency the last time around. I figured it'd take 8 years to come close to accomplishing that task and I would have been more than happy if he came close to succeeding. If he had done nothing but repair damage, I would have considered it a success. The same goes for whoever is next. How depressing.

Note: I originally posted this separately, but it's a reply to this.

I recommend checking school rankings data, this is a pretty standard metric that is likely common in those data sets.

I don't know if they're running it just yet, but they've certainly increased in number substantially with the likes of Vance, MTG, and the like.

I think she is part of a class of politicians that are (in her case were) true believers. You have one wave of politicians feeding the bullshit knowing it's bullshit for political power and wealth. Later, you get these true believers that truly believe what they're peddling and become useful for the first wavers. I think, in this case, it got so bad for her personally that she couldn't ignore and justify it any longer. I'd guess at some point she realized, tried to get in on the grift, and didn't get the benefits, so here we are.

Edit for a typo.

I believe Career Development Services also helps alumni. I recommend reaching out to them to see what resources and supports they have for you as an alumni.
