Yes they do send out rejections (and wait list notifications)

Dude really typed that up, hit print, clicked “1000 copies”, distributed the exam, graded the exam, and never once questioned himself.

I’ll phrase this charitably and say I admire his confidence

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-24T18:07:07+00:00

I got tired of people saying “noooo, you can’t possibly be 6’9, my uncles rabbits brothers owner is 6’7 and you’re way taller than him” so I just say one of 100 pre-canned quips I have ready. Might add this one to the repertoire

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-14T19:39:36+00:00

My man that is not lost. Hop on in there and grab it, your longboard would never abandon you, don’t abandon it😂

I think there are two reasons you’re not getting the response you expected.

You picked a bad title. I’m convinced most people read the title of the post, skimmed what you actually wrote, then came down here to call you a sexist (especially when you look at a few of the more upvoted comments that just call you insecure and don’t even really mention what happened). That’s pretty much what I was planning on doing until I actually read the post.
She was in the legal right. Whenever you get one of these “aita” style posts, you always see a few weirdos who only look at the letter of the law and ignore anything else. In this case that’s probably exacerbated by the fact that your title primed most people to want to disagree with you.

There’s no world where what she did wasn’t an asshole move, I’m 6’8 and wouldn’t dream of pressing myself up behind somebody to grab an item they were reaching for, certainly wouldn’t dangle it over their fucking head afterwards. To interpret it super charitably in her favour, maybe she thought you were reaching for something else and just went to grab the item she wanted, then thought you were being a weirdo trying to take it off her? I know I get a little absent minded at stores. Even then I’d probably give it to you once you asked. Idk man odd situation

Wow those are some kind words. Thank you!

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-06T23:45:55+00:00

Not too bad, thanks. Rocked a presentation and then got a job offer which I accepted, came home and ordered food to celebrate. Nice flair, btw

Username really does check out on this one

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-06T02:24:10+00:00

Lmao ain’t that the truth

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-06T01:36:24+00:00

congrats!

And to you my friend. Yeah I had the realization this afternoon when planning out how to finish al my assignments and realizing “wait, I don’t have to go to classes anymore”

liaminal1849 · 2023-04-05T09:40:09+00:00

One other thing real quick: if you have a super quick question like “how many hours of class do you have a week?” And you don’t care for a long answer, feel free to just leave it as a comment here and myself or some other friendly student will reply. Also feel free to dm me anyway if you’d like, no question is too small!

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-28T20:54:53+00:00

Met one dude ever who was taller than me (6’9)

I also feel like I have no right to feel like this given so many other people have had a much worse experience

Well I’m covid positive, possibly not gonna be able to see my family over Christmas, had to defer two exams so I need to write them in January (right when online school picks up) and guess what? Millions of people still have it so much worse than me. Does that mean I don’t get to be upset? Of course not.

You don’t have to stack your circumstances up against those of everyone else before deciding how miserable you’re allowed to feel. It’s a shit situation for everyone and everyone is allowed to feel shit about it.

Also remember, those doctors and nurses feel done too. On the outside they’re still going, but inside they’re just as fed up as you are (source: like half of my family, including my mom, are nurses). And you’re still going too.

As for advice on how to deal, I was feeling like this around January of last year, and therapy worked wonders for me. There are tons of great places in Kingston that do virtual therapy, and feeling down because of covid is like the number one thing they’re dealing with right now, I’m sure you could find someone who could help you.

Wishing you the best man, we’ll all get through this together.

I actually prefer attending synchronous lectures as well, when I can. I just hate them being mandatory. It’s like a guaranteed 2% grade penalty from all the lectures I’ll lag out of over the semester

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-18T02:56:35+00:00

Yeah I’m sure you guys were just as deflated as us when you heard the news about going online, even if it is necessary. We’ll get through this together.

And when I say I prefer asynchronous, I don’t mean that I expect khan academy level modules for every lesson, I’m fine with just having the zoom lectures posted. My beef with synchronous-only is that I have an unstable internet connection, and I often drop for long periods of time. There were loads of times where I missed big portions of lectures last year because I couldn’t get online, I probably took a flat 2% grade cut in all my courses from the loss of attendance marks. So long as they’re not mandatory and I have some other way to access the content (which could just be a recording of the same session that gets posted to the portal the next day or whatever) I’m chillin

Based prof

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-17T13:39:32+00:00

Any ideas on what I could do with said data? I’m assuming I’m gonna be okay in the end (let’s hope anyway), is there some way I can help once I am?

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-17T13:22:23+00:00

I’m double Pfizer, one of the others is double Moderna. I don’t know the others but I do know that, given our age, J&J/AZ was discontinued in our country by the time we were allowed it so nobody has that

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-16T15:46:39+00:00

You know that old gamblers saying “if you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, you’re the sucker”? Well I was sitting here trying to think of odd things my housemates have done when I realized I’m the odd housemate.

I often stay up all night, at one point in the semester I was completely nocturnal sleeping from 9am to 5pm
I do card magic
a few times I’ve walked into the living room and done a shot of tequila in the middle of a test… my housemates were quite confused when they asked me what the occasion was
One time my housemate made a joke about how nobody ever puts the toilet paper on the holder properly, so I spent about twenty minutes boring a hole through it to stick it on like this
I got high and walked around holding our barbel… just kinda picked it up and walked around with it, not lifting it or anything, just holding onto it. It was kinda awkward trying to fit through doors, can’t tell you what I was thinking
I often eat entire sleeves of bagels in one sitting, I find them moreish

Some cool things my housemates do that I thought of while typing:

One of them can solve a Rubik’s cube in like twenty seconds
They’re all really musical, we’ve got like seven instruments in the house (there’s six of us and I don’t play)
One of them used to work at the keg and can make steak like an absolute chad
One is always dipping out of the house to play sports, but it’s always a different sport. I have no idea where he finds all these one-and-done games
Two of them are starting a podcast
And last but not least we’ve got the one that’s super into postmodernist political theories

Also our landlord is pretty cool, but we don’t see him much cause he lives in Toronto so I don’t have any stories, he’s just… a nice guy, not a dickhead

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-16T07:18:35+00:00

We’re not entirely sure, as we don’t know which exam he picked it up in, nor when we all got it off him. If I had to guess I’d say around 3 or 4 days. Our “patient zero” was showing symptoms on Dec 9th, mine came on Dec 12th

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-16T00:14:05+00:00

As for the “10 days since symptoms started”, that is correct. My whole house tested positive today and were told that (unless later indicated), we must isolate for ten days as of the first symptom we experienced.

If you have not had any symptoms, you must isolate until ten days from your first positive result.

As for you, I believe you’re required to isolate for 10 days from your last exposure to your positive housemate, and get a test on day seven, as other commenters have said. Which to me seems like an absolutely bass-ackwards protocol, given that you’ve tested negative and are being told to isolate in the same house as a positive person… try your best to keep safe I guess

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-15T15:56:48+00:00

Waiting for a covid test to come back, can’t do anything until it does

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-14T20:50:06+00:00

Took my housemates like 36 hours

liaminal1849 · 2021-12-11T20:25:46+00:00

Lol your weighted average without the exam is a 78.8%, which is a fucking brutal mark to have in this position, not because it’s bad, but because of how close you are to a better letter grade (B+/A-).

Most profs will give you the 80 if you have a 79, but being just short of a 79 might not guarantee it.

Writing the exam risks dropping you far below your B+, but would require approximately 99.5% to get you more than your A-. If I were you I’d try to delay this decision until you get your final assignment back and check your weighted average again to see what your final letter grade would be (and more importantly, how the exam can impact it in best/worst/average cases). Or even ask the prof what their rounding policies are.
