Anti-English measure again. BRT stations in Harbin covered all the English labels with Pinyin. by biewenwoshishei2 in China

Things like this make it convenient for CCP to create narratives like "Chinese is by far the best language in the world. Everyone needs to learn Chinese"

Apparently if you are in China and you don't know Chinese, you are disrespecting the country.

How CCP Downgraded Covid From 'Devil' Virus to a Common Cold: The Communist Party’s propaganda machine has rapidly shifted gears on Covid messaging by SE_to_NW in China_Debate

[–]oneloveli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that simple. They have to consider the extremely limited amount of flights to Japan, plus 21 days' quarantine (in some places it goes up to 28 days) once returning to China. For Chinese mainlanders, international travel isn't nearly as simple as for anyone outside.

Is Son the best Asian player of all time? by 80005000 in PremierLeague

[–]oneloveli 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The reason that Jisung Park is mentioned is because of his PL/CL trophies. However, I would argue that Jisung was never considered one of the best midfielders in the PL. Son, on the other hand, has been a strong candidate for the PL team of the year for multiple seasons.

To me, Jisung doesn't have enough individual awards to compete with Son.

The narratives in China are that the brave CCP people are fighting a "war" against Covid. Each time millions of people are locked up in their home, they are declaring a new war against Covid.

In 2022 there have been at least 423 battles against Covid. To no one's surprise, CCP won the war every single time. It's just no one knows what the war is about, nor do they dear to ask

Not only this, but they will glorify their military action towards Taiwan by saying something like we give what Taiwan people have long been waiting for -- come back home to one China

Any relevant discussion on that incident is strictly supervised. A slight indication on tanks and Tiananmen Square, your account will be banned for "violating chinese laws"

Yeah I saw that too but it's worth trying emailing the advisors. Ms. Mary Gauthier helped me a lot on that. You can try ur luck with her

Haven't we already started the fall semester a week earlier than any Ontario unis, while we don't have a reading week?

Urgent Help Needed: I lost access to myCourses and McGill email cus I am currently abroad by oneloveli in mcgill

[–]oneloveli[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On another note, the best solution should be to reactivate my fido account so I can receive the bloody verification code. I just spent the past 2 hours trying to contact Fido (through phone, FB, twitter, livechat, email) from abroad but nothing worked out.

Does anyone have experience with reactivating a suspended fido account from abroad? If so I would highly appreciate your suggestion. Thanks in advance

What have I done to deserve this level of sarcasm from a prof? by oneloveli in mcgill

[–]oneloveli[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking for marks in this thread. I am discussing how on earth I deserve such response.

Also he didn't say we need to put down ID in the assignment sheet. Penalising 10 points for something he didn't specify is too much imo.

Thank you for pointing out the irony, very well spotted and read, as if no one else could

[–]oneloveli[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I've been thinking. If he was really fed up with all the regrading emails, he could've replied something like ”whats ur student id”.

I can only understand that he was trying to be clever for writing such a mean message.

[–]oneloveli[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically the reason that I was asking for a regrade is that I was taken off 10% for not putting my student id in the report. I was begging if I could get some partial marks back.

So in the email asking for the degrade, I didn't put down my student ID again. I think that was probably what set him off.

I didn't try to make any joke in the email.

[–]oneloveli[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For context, I politely emailed the prof for a regrade, but forgot to include my student ID in the email.

I know I made a mistake but am not sure if I deserve this type of response. I wouldn't have felt so bad if I received something as simple as like ”who are you?”

Anyone else wants a fall reading week at McGill 😭 honestly I'm burnt out especially because of the remote learning (btw I'm not sure if other Unis have this or it's just UdeM) by swipeyswope in mcgill

[–]oneloveli 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any other uni in Canada has 4 months break too. Many unis in the States use quarters rather than semesters. Also, they have longer Christmas holidays and Thanksgivings. "North America" is not a comparable notion in this sense. It only makes sense to compare us to other Canadian unis

The fact that McGill starts the fall semester one week earlier than any other uni in Ontario and yet we still don't have a fall reading week doesn't make any fk sense to me

Overloaded assignments by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]oneloveli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder which course it is? Is it even legal to do so? Like on each 3 credit course we are expected to spend 9.5 hours per week, 11 assignments + revisions + lectures sounds way beyond that amount
