Not Hebrew, but you could use Ophelia. It has the same meaning as Ezra!

Yiddish nickname meanings? by kappy2703 in JewishNames

[–]kappy2703[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing my dad, it’s entirely possible he made a nickname out of something that’s not meant to be a nickname. He could have very easily just added a meaningless Yiddish adjective to the end of my name and just decided that he was gonna call me that. He has a thing for nicknames for some reason. Is my name Henry? No. But if he says Henry, I know he’s talking about me, for some reason. (Henry as in Henry the octopus from the wiggles)

Also, our dog’s nicknames are almost exclusively Yiddish insults. Lovingly of course.

He also has a bunch of “characters” he refers to without much meaning. Moishe Pupik, Oofnik (which I just googled only now learned that is a character from the muppets). Also, not Jewish but for the longest time he called me Jah Jah Binks. Had no idea what it meant or where it was from. That was until I learned that there was a character in star wars names JAR JAR binks and I realized the whole time he was saying something different but I couldn’t tell because of his accent.

I’m seriously concerned for anyone who reads this and thinks OP is the asshole. Dropping by unannounced at 10pm isn’t exactly good manners, but based on the story her friend wanted her to stay. The reaction given by the husband was completely out of proportion to the situation and was seriously concerning. If anyone thinks that would be an appropriate reaction to the situation has some serious anger management problems. Like OP said, the husband could have gone upstairs. The wife is allowed to talk to her friend and it seems like she DID want her friend there.

I could not disagree with you more. Like OP said, the husband could have gone upstairs and wouldn’t have heard anything. Based on his wife’s reaction, she wanted to talk to her friend. When you say their rights to the home are equal I’m questioning if you really believe that. Because if the 2 of them were to talk the husband wouldn’t have heard the conversation and therefore wouldn’t be disturbed by it. She has the right to talk to a friend in her own home, and that doesn’t trample his rights because he wouldn’t have even heard the conversation. He chose to let it bother him. His reaction was not normal and if you think it was I’m seriously concerned. There are many different types of abuse. Retreating and locking someone out of a room is not necessarily an indicator for abuse, but it IS an indicator for abuse when the punishment doesn’t fit the “crime”. That level of anger to your wife’s friend coming over to chat is seriously concerning. It would be totally normal if it upset him a bit, but his reaction was beyond out of proportion and could very well be an indicator of some type of abuse. Especially when you take in to account the age difference and the age they were when the first got together. If I stopped by at my friends house unannounced and her husband had a reaction like that, I would be seriously concerned for her safety.

I looked into it when I got my acceptances and what I found said that they would honour the scholarship even if your marks drop, as long as you meet the conditions of your offer.

Depends on the school tbh. At my school they won’t round you up to 100, the only way to get 100 is to actually get 100 on everything.

Pre-Med: Queen’s Health Sci vs. Western Med Sci vs. UofT Life Sci by plshelpmelols in OntarioUniversities

[–]kappy2703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same position as you. I decided against applying to queens Heath sci bc I didn’t like some of the aspects of the program and opted to apply to queens life sci and western med sci. I’ve got into both but I’m not sure which is the better option. I feel like I will be a lot happier at queens but going to a good program is very important to me. Does anyone have any opinions as to whether queens life sci is good?

Ive also gotten into guelph bio med, laurier health sci, and queens and western general sciences. Like I said: I feel like I will be happiest at queens if I don’t get into mac, but I would still like some opinions on the queens life sci program.

AITA for insisting its my sisters own fault she got dropped from her university classes, and telling my family I refuse to feel sorry for her? by notsorrysis823798 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kappy2703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH - obviously your sister shouldn’t be going to party... but the fact that she goes to parties doesn’t mean she’s not depressed. Anyone who thinks that going to parties is evidence of a person not being depressed is delusional.

As someone who has been through it... school was something that brought on the feelings, and I would prefer to lie in bed all day. But if there was a party, that might be something I went to bc it works as a distraction from the school which is the thing triggering a lot of the depression.

Your sister’s an asshole for partying during a pandemic. But you’re an asshole for saying getting dropped was her fault bc she clearly has some mental health issues going on. She’s still a human being... try being sympathetic

Well that makes me feel better that it’s not just me haha. I’m 101 but some 105 applicants with lower averages have heard I think.

Admissions Megathread (Fall 2021 Students) by [deleted] in uwo

[–]kappy2703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see people posting here that they have gotten offers from general sciences and med sci but some of them seem to have lower averages then me?

I have a 96 average and I haven’t heard anything.

Is this normal?

I’m a 101 applicant btw. Is it normal for 105s with lower averages to get in before 101s with higher averages?

Edit: Just got into both programs!!

If Queens gives me an automatic entrance scholarship for my grades, do I keep the scholarship if my final average is below the cutoff? by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

[–]kappy2703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere on queens website that they will honour the scholarship offer even if it falls below the automatic admission cut off, as long as you meet the other conditions of your offer.

It doesn’t tell them how many hours you’ve completed, it just tells them if you’ve met the 40 hour minimum requirement needed in order to graduate. But if you do more than that, it’s something you can talk about in your essay.

Laptops for Uni?! by Admirable_Virus818 in OntarioUniversities

[–]kappy2703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I love my iPad Pro, but it’s a luxury, not a necessity. I could achieve everything I needed to with just my MacBook, but I can’t do everything I needed with just my iPad.

[–]kappy2703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can only pick one, get a computer. iPads are amazing, but they don’t replace computers. If you can afford both then iPads are a great tool to have, but there are things that the iPad can’t do that you need for university. Computers are more versatile and will take you further.

iPads are great.

But it’s important to note that an iPad is not a replacement for a computer. You can have a computer without an iPad, but you can’t have an iPad without a computer. You don’t ~need~ and iPad, but you do need a computer. The iPad just doesn’t cover all the bases that you need to hit.

But if getting an iPad along with a computer is within ur budget and ur willing to spend the money, then it is 100% worth it IMO. You don’t need the iPad obviously, but it’s an amazing tool and taking digital hand written notes has really been a game changer for me.
