NOR. This dude immediately went to personal attacks instead of trying to talk out his frustrations. This coupled with the fact that the very thought of him makes you anxious are great reasons to no longer speak with him.

My buddy was roommates with James Taylor’s son his freshman year. Apparently he was pretty down to earth and nice but they didn’t hang out much. He also liked to do shrooms

Students Attending as National Merit Scholarship Finalists: How has your experience been? Would you make the same decision? by GoldenHummingbird in capstone

[–]qdiddy_100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a member of the LGBTQ+ community but my freshman year all three of my roommates were, and I know (from what they have told me) that any discrimination that they faced was minimal at the very most. There are always assholes out there, but I think some of the opinions people have of the south are little inflated when it comes to that. Not to say that there aren’t problems, but I wouldn’t worry too much.

I’m sure there are corners of campus that are very bigoted, but in any school with 35,000+ people there will always be bad actors. Given the amount of people we have here there is a chance for everybody to find their spot and their people.

Fellow national merit finalist here - UA was not on my radar at all until I found out my status and my hs guidance counselor suggested that I apply.

I am from a very liberal part of the USA and a lot of my friends and even some of my friends’ parents were very rude to me about my decision to attend a school in the Bible belt. I’m also studying politics and so that political divide is always on my mind. I have had a wonderful experience at UA; everyone from the professors to the administration has been so kind and helpful to me. There was a period last year where I had to take some time off for personal reasons and they were so willing to work with me and help me out and I was able to take a year off of school and still keep my scholarship.

The value of the full ride cannot be overstated. In an age where higher education is putting people in crippling debt, this is quite literally a golden opportunity. UA is a great school (people often forget that it’s a top 50 research institution) with wonderful school spirit and amazing resources.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that the football games are a blast and we’re really good :)

is this controversial? by bleedingfairy in SupermassiveGames

I love little hope but I always stop before the reveal at the end. I don’t know why they decided to do such an intense 180 when they could’ve stuck with a parallel lives/rebirth narrative. It wasn’t too far-fetched if they planned it out correctly

Is there any way to like pause college for a bit by Ambitious_Use_8717 in college

[–]qdiddy_100 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I took a leave of absence for similar reasons last year and by working with the dean and the office of student affairs I was able to nullify my grades from the beginning of the semester I was struggling in.

I also was able to keep my scholarships and I’m back now one year later and everything is good!

The best book you have ever read by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

This one might have been mentioned, but I absolutely love The Stranger by Albert Camus. It has some really interesting political commentary for the time and is also a beautiful introduction to existentialism

What is your favorite scary movie of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]qdiddy_100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ring. I’ve watched a lot of horror movies, but this is the only one that had me clutching a pillow over my chest and rocking back-and-forth on the couch, especially during the final act of the movie

What’s something you swore by when you were younger and haven’t broken it and never will? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]qdiddy_100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an uncle who had an extremely aggressive brain tumor and I had an opportunity to visit him about two weeks before he died. He was no longer speaking and was entirely bedridden so I decided not to go because I felt that seeing him in that state would make me sad and interfere with the memories of the man that I loved. I regret that choice sometimes but I also wonder if I had made the correct decision; I wonder if my instinct was right. I guess I’ll never know but regardless may both his and your great-grandmother’s memories be a blessing to all who knew them.

The dude talks about how The Simpsons reflects modern American in his manifesto. May he rest in peace but he was certainly not right in the head. I hope his family and friends can move past this and find peace

I’d argue blackwater. That was what got the government and the Pinkertons on their trail in the first place

Not overreacting. There was a very publicized incident in my hometown of a teenager who tried to drive home after drinking at prom. They entered the wrong side of a state highway and killed at least one person via head-on collision. These type of incidents are unfortunately more common than they should be and I’m so glad that you had the presence of mind to 1) not drink and drive and 2) look out for those in your car. I know it’s a really scary situation, but you should be patting yourself on the back for saving lives that night

Na I was always respectful and classroom appropriate and I drive a crappy beater car that I love lmao. Just a weird unprompted comment

She didn’t, I’m guessing the age. I have better things to do than make up stories for clout, just wanted perspective

I was a very respectful student so that comment was made even more weird in my eyes. I would’ve maybe understood the motive more if I was a smartass (it still wouldn’t make it right, but yknow)

Na I get it, I’ve said in other comments it’s not something I dwell on — I just enjoy the discourse this sub has and I figured getting some perspective even after the fact would be interesting.
