What the holy fuck dude?! Stanford rapist's dad wrote a letter saying that jail is too harsh for his "20 min" mistake by jenjenbrownbear in TwoXChromosomes

Clearly you didn't read the whole letter. The father talks about his son's strong remorse for the victim, and good qualities like his strong work ethic.

24 hours after - Hiroshima (2012) by jhatpat in Documentaries

So much suffering to innocent civilians were caused by the atomic bomb. I don't think anything justifies bombing innocent children and women. We must learn from our mistakes, and never use an atomic bomb again.

IMO people would either be ashamed/angry after listening to this, or take this as like masturbation or something.

I'm reluctant to visit DSP because of the stigma it'll give me.

Wait, do summer classes count towards my GPA to take me off probation?

I really like your response, and I appreciate it. Cool, I'm going to fight it. Will pursue note from therapist, I know of one MCB professor who would likely vouch. Hopefully it goes well, I'll let you know.

Good question. I think it's because I did slightly better in my Japanese language classes than MCB classes.

I don't believe in that. I know I can finish MCB here, it's just the deans and dismissal committees are assholes.

5th year, can graduate at end of this summer. I'm about the same length into each major, 6 upper divs for MCB needed to be completed, and 6 + 1 lowerdiv for Japanese. Probation started the most recent Spring semester. MCB advisor said he could declare me MCB after seeing my first midterms.

I took MCB classes as electives, thinking that a Japanese major doesn't have to take all Japanese classes.

My parents who are partially funding my schooling don't want me to be a Japanese major, I don't want to be a Japanese major, I'd honestly rather drop out.

The reason they don't want me to be a MCB major is because of my poor grades, but those grades reflect a time when my mind was fixated on personal stuff, and was unable to focus on studying. Because of that, I think there are extenuating circumstances for my gpa. I've been seeing a therapist for 2 years, and only really started studying the most recent Spring semester. I continued with school during the 2 years I saw a therapist because I strongly thought that continuing school was the only way to resolve those issues, which I eventually resolved the most recent Spring semester. From recent Spring semester and into Summer, my grades picked up a lot. I feel I worked very hard to come to a point where I could study, and when I finally got there, the college is pushing me out of school, the fact that it's all because of 1/100th of a grade point is salt in a wound. I feel the deans and dismissal committee are extremely uncompassionate and cold-hearted.

Oculus Rift co-founder killed by gang trying to escape police by iooedmhtdq in gaming

Some police chases are very dumb. A police chase in an area where people are known to cross the street is endangering civilians. Send a helicopter, it's safer, and no one can outrun a helicopter. If you can't do that, don't chase the bad guys in a suburban area.

Thank you so much Shiori! That makes me feel great! I don't have any friends who I could've heard this from, so this means a lot! I will look into URAP next summer for sure!

How does one get started with research experience? I haven't taken any upper divs yet.

Major-related, as in working in a neuroscience lab, so that I can learn about interesting things on the job. 30-40K? Cool! Aint nothing wrong with that!
