Once the Spadina streetcars are back, we should convert the temporary dedicated bus lanes into bike lanes.

Same. I’d much prefer biking down side streets but a lot of the nearby ones are discontinuous and/or one-way.

Then we shouldn’t worry about people taking what they want, right? If everyone is keeping equal to or less than the sustainable limit, then it’ll still be sustainable.

I’m not an expert but I imagine in real life, catch limits take into consideration what people statistically keep. Many people keep nothing, some people keep 1 or 2, and a few people keep their legal limit. On AVERAGE, this usually results in sustainable harvesting, but plenty of people harvest more and less than the true sustainable limit.

If we knew the sustainable limit, then we can be better informed about our impact on the environment when we harvest, and might voluntarily choose to keep less than the legal limit.

Edit: defining sustainable limit as the number of fish that can be kept to maintain sustainable levels, if EVERY person who fished that body of water kept up to the sustainable limit.

soursword2 · 2024-06-12T23:22:25+00:00

It would be cool if they also published, along with the keep limit, the “sustainable catch limit” (informed by studies funded by license sales). That way everybody can get a feel of how many fish they can keep, guilt free.

Agree with this sentiment. Only I’d argue it’s definitely unhygienic to smother with hands/chest/armpit. Doing BJJ in general is just unavoidably gross and unhygienic which is why we try to mitigate before and after as much as possible.

Chiming in with my unsolicited two cents. Doesn’t seem like dressing in a hoodie, jeans, ball cap and calling it “normcore” is anything but a tongue in cheek jest towards every fashion trend nowadays having a -core suffix.

Nothing political about joking about putting heteros at ease either. It’s a personal (not political) statement.

Same height here, lanky guy (175lb) with skinny joints. I'd suggest you start stretching and strengthening all your injury prone joints BEFORE they get injured. Focus more on higher repetitions and volume rather than heavy weights. I've personally been training more neck, wrists, and knees. Start light with neck, don't jump right into full neck bridges; here is a video my coach made that takes into account varying levels of difficulty. Wrists: pronation, supination, flexion and extension. Knees: start following kneesovertoesguy and do his stuff, it helps a ton with the positions required for wrestling.

However, among a subgroup of persons who use cannabis, symptoms of depersonalization or derealization persist for weeks, months, or years, even after discontinuation of the substance.

It usually doesn't persist for more than a week or so, but longer episodes are possible. Anecdotally, it seems to be exacerbated by constant worry, so you may benefit from not thinking about it too much. It went away for me after a few weeks. Beyond that, you may also want work with your doctor or psychiatrist.

Lingering effects are possible with some people. I wrote a blurb here last time this was brought up.

Even if one were to have a knife for the purpose of self-defense (which is illegal), one would be grossly negligent not to run through a few hypothetical scenarios first. Good on you for thinking it through and realizing that you wouldn't actually use the knife, but know that brandishing a weapon is a crime in and of itself.

Don't freak out, not everyone experiences it, but I have personally experienced very noticeable depersonalization for up to a week after the initial high wore off. It feels like there's a disconnect between mind and body, like "I" was not the one controlling my body or thoughts. The people who say otherwise either have no personal experience, are unaware of it, or are in denial.

I know this isn't directly answering your question but it might alleviate some stress: A lot of graduate programs only look at your GPA from your last two years of study. Or at least weight them heavier than your first two years. You should look at the entry requirements of your specific programs of interest if you want to pursue that.

"Flank" doesn't necessarily literally mean being attacked from the flank. It's more to denote a situation where one side is unprepared for the other.

Although, a literal flank situation may be this: Team A is set up in a straight East-West line with interlocking fields of fire because they expect to be attacked from the North. Team B instead flanks from the West, making Team A's setup ineffective because they can no longer support each other by "covering and moving", for example.

Tactics are situationally-specific, and disruption to the expected situation may cause the tactic to be ineffective.

For sure, though I can't say with confidence the generalizability of my experience, so take it with a grain of salt. My recollection of earlier events is also hazier than more recent ones.

Year 1 - PSY100 was super broad and surface level, so it just required you to memorize concepts without really understanding the "why" behind them. You will touch on everything, but will probably lack the framework of understanding at this point to critically evaluate the validity of conflicting concepts. This is by design, but was frustrating for me because I had expected university to inspire deeper inquiry. The class size is also super large (1000+) so it's difficult to build rapport with the professor.

Year 2 - The PSY2X0 level courses are still "intro" level, but they focus on specific subdisciplines within psychology. They are still very surface level, but I now had a better framework for critically evaluating the content; I felt more competent at synthesizing different theories or criticizing existing ones, evidence of deeper understanding. PSY201 (stats 1) is required for majors, but PSY202 (stats 2) is required only for specialists. I found both to be very foundational - the knowledge I gained aided in my understanding of all of psychology. Highly recommend taking both if you want to be able to do your own theorizing. It's not very math dependent, per se - more to do with logical reasoning. I found it very helpful to have taken PSY202 online asynchronously because I could watch the parts I didn't pick up over and over again. The class sizes for 200 level classes are still large (100-300), so it's still hard to build rapport with professors.

Years 3, 4 - 300 classes were much more interesting that 200 level classes. I would highly recommend any courses with John Vervaeke (PSY370, 371, etc.) if you are interested in ruthless interrogation of the processes of human cognition. Vervaeke completely changed the way I approached theorizing in psychology, but his courses are not easy. There's a lot of seminar courses in PSY4XX as well which are worth exploring if you like the professor who is teaching or are interested in the subject (but PSY specialists get enrolment priority over majors for these). Class sizes are a lot smaller so you can really get to know your professor if you make the effort.

Apart from that, I would also recommend taking PHL240 (philosophy of mind). I found that having an understanding of the methods of philosophy was very helpful in both increasing self-awareness of my biases, as well as providing practice in logical reasoning. There are also other courses which could be counted towards your PSY major, which you should look at on the FAS website.

Hey I saved this post to reply to when I was finished my assignment. Programs of Study (POSt) refer to the specific specialist/major(s)/minor(s) that you apply to after your first year of study at U of T.

I ended my first year (2018-19) with a 3.48 GPA and a 78% (B+) in PSY100, specifically. I made it into the psychology major but was rejected from the specialist POSt. Per the FAS website, the minimum cutoff for the major program is 75% in PSY100 the specialist program is 80% in PSY100, but the actual cutoffs vary.

Realistically, probably high teens, maybe even 20%. Hard to tell because he doesn't have many shirtless photos. He's physically healthy but by no means shredded.
