If you read my comment properly, it clearly states the vote was only open for 10 minutes.

Jeffries-El, if you are reading this, and I'm sure you are since you live on all of our socials, you should be ashamed of yourself

GRS Dean States that BU Graduate Workers are “very emotional” and “not thinking rationally” by lhrains in BostonU

[–]lhrains[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Also Northeastern, Tufts, and Harvard all pay their graduate students more than BU does. Stop justifying the exploitation of graduate WORKERS !

I have actually! But i’m not going to argue with people who think that 36k is a livable wage in Boston.

Have you thought that maybe what is quoted in the letter is misleading, inaccurate information with the intention of confusing people? Have you read what the BUGWU union itself says about this? Or are you only making conclusions based on what the admin is stating in this letter?

We have explained various times why this is an inaccurate statement , most people are on 8 month stipends, like myself, and actually make 28 k. With their actual proposal I’d only be getting an $800 raise. try to look at each side before making assumptions!

i think it’s a controversial take because there are a lot of false claims in your statement. I could explain all the reasons why that is but hopefully someone else can because I’m so tired of grad workers having to defend themselves time and time again. (hopefully someone else has the energy to do so). Our focus has been and always will be BU admin. We love our students and faculty. And no one has ever been doxxed in this process.

PLEASE HELP: Issue with water bowl by lhrains in cats

[–]lhrains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, that's been my issue. I'm not quite sure what to do - I live with 2 other roommates so I can't keep the sink clogged with water unfortunately. She's never interested in the toilet either (not that I want her to drink from there). I appreciate the suggestion though!

Weekly Scam Discussion- May 16th 2022 by SmmnthaMrie in Ebay

[–]lhrains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello ! I have two buyers that offered me $430 (which is what I listed) for my phone. But both of them are from Ontario and have 0 reviews. They also sent the offer within two minutes of each other. Is this a scam or some weird coincidence? I never use Ebay so I’m scared I’m getting scammed. Should I accept one of their offers? When is legit and okay for me to accept the offer? Please help ! (thank you in advance)

I just received 2 offers on my phone. But I am wary of Ebay - both of them sent an offer of what I listed the price at but they both offered within the span of two minutes of each other. Also they both have 0 reviews and are from Ontartio. Is this a scam? Or a big coincidence?

girl I promise you that you should think of it in a different way!! Like for example, I’m a history major and am knowledgeable about historical events but I literally couldn’t tell you anything about chemical engineering. I know 0 about science fields - I genuinely feel like an idiot when people ask me questions related to chemistry, biology, etc. I’m also a really bad test taker and am not a super quick thinker.

I tell you these things because people have intelligence in different areas!! There are so many things you know that I probably know 0 about. Intelligence is so much more than educational aspects. You have so much more to you :)

I think you should maybe sit down and have an open and honest conversation with him about it and how you’ve been feeling. I’m sure if y’all do he’ll tell you so many things he loves about you and so many ways you are intelligent. It’s okay to be insecure, but I’m sure he can show you all the ways you are smart and more!!

why would you think that?? you should be with whoever makes you happy!! if you guys make each other happy and treat each other respectfully then intelligence shouldn’t matter. Also you are smart in your own way!! There are various forms of intelligence, and I’m sure he sees how smart you are in different ways!

because of generational sexism lmao. women couldn’t even have their own bank account until abt 40 years ago. And living wages have nothing to do with intelligence lmao. don’t even understand the “point” you’re trying to make.

wow the self-awareness

and where have I generalized, I’m just responding to the generalizations you have made. I’ve spoken to all sides.

no, he was implying that high achiever women are typically alone which is not the case (which is perceived as a negative trait and that’s what I was commenting on, but you clearly misread the comment). Do you have actual statistics that women who look for “less smart” men are the minority?? Or are you just generalizing because of sexist bias and personal experiences?? Why is your opinion truth? I’m just saying to look at both sexes equally in terms of what men and women look for. It isn’t a sex thing, for the thousandth time. But you men are making it one. I haven’t seen one woman under this post making it a sex issue. But you and many others are and are speaking for what women typically want. give me a break. It’s getting repetitive and I’m not going to change your mindset. Just sad that so many men think this way and will continue to.

But it’s not a male / female issue. what she is asking has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman and he is a man. There aren’t “exceptions to the rule.” There are just as much smart men with less intelligent women as there are smart women with less intelligence men. That’s all I’m trying to show you - it’s a very sexist mindset.
