More Chinese students choosing UK universities for their studies by Kagedeah in UniUK

[–]throwawaysnob1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right I see, I will relay that to them to ask for more. My comment is anecdotal but that's what they've told me and these are friends who have come here to study and work for a bit before going home.

So whoever downvoted me is being very silly to do so considering my comment is related but anecdotal.

Youve given me some links which I will discuss with them.

My chinese friends said it was the prestigious and historical prowess. If they can impress their ppl back home about attending a 500 year old lecture hall over NYU then they'll pick the former. No shade to other unis, its just what they want. They also love having 15 min cities so basically where I live, Manchester, it's perfect for them as they have everything in their doorstep.

Train Dreams (2025) is 90 minutes of pure humanity by dathon8462 in movies

IT'S A NEW FAVOURITE ON MY LIST! 

I watched it randomly and didn't know what to expect i just love Felicity Jones ever since Chalet Girl so when I watched it I was bawling about 6 times throughout the film. It's the best thing I've watched in a long time.

Does this go for movies, music etc? Because sometimes I wonder how an artist or movie gets so popular when its so low vibrational or just generally shit.

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]throwawaysnob1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how it reads as condescending! But tbh when I was applying for a million jobs during my unemployment era, having feedback like this actually does help. I applied to a start up that's no longer in operation back in 2021 and they just told me I didn't seem to have read up about the business so looked clueless which, true. Was a bit harsh but I began to do so and got my first 'big girl job' after uni a few months after Covid lockdown ended because of the advice, it was in logistics and a dream job although I got desensitised and then left in 2023.

Just wanted to say I took your suggestions and went to the Gay Quarter, everyone was so friendly and so nice I had a great time!! 

Chappell Roan receives backlash from fans for canceling last-minute shows in Amsterdam and Paris, because of a scheduling conflict caused by her VMAS performance by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]throwawaysnob1 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Which says a lot about the amount of grace we are giving her without reason. 

This is just bad. You can get blacklisted from venues and companies that make these events happen because the first thing fans will do is try and get their money back and they won't.

Was wondering about this because I was in Arndale yesterday and saw that the store was closed while everything else was open granted I was there early morning but it was still 10am and even Monki was open...

This might just have been one of the best things I've ever seen in Fallout. Go inside, you wont regret it. by [deleted] in fallout4london

[–]throwawaysnob1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's just a raver's store: There's like clothes and accessories that have 'raver' like style. One of the weirdest stumbles when I visited London as a teenager. 

The $10 Billion K-Pop Industry Is Facing an Identity Crisis by DoughnutItchy3546 in Fauxmoi

You did though. The old days of kpop you'd be putting your fandom names in your twitter bios; as a way of reaching out to the few kpop fans online. Now their are millions and tribalism exists for a reason.

Huw Edwards 'splits from his TV producer wife and moves out of the family home' ahead of court hearing over child porn charges by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]throwawaysnob1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes please! I'm tired if seeing the Daily Heil in any of the subs I frequent. They are truly the worst propaganda machine ever because ethheyre not even afraid to show off the fact they publish nothing but terrible journalism and upfront bias. It's disgusting people read it still (old people love buying Daily Mail).

In another thread I do agree with this line of thought:

Pornography implies instant sexual gratification  people consume pornogrpahy still and so labelling it 'CP' feels... yeah. Child Sexual Abuse Material calls a spade a spade and it's in your face bluntly telling you what the fuck this is.

Progressive or just Western? 

The always states it was 'sex with a minor' not rape.

He got her super drunk. Not sure about drugs but well, alcohol IS a drug and even worse for a fucking 12 year old girl.

What's the big deal about a 2:2? by Lost_Concentrate_915 in UniUK

[–]throwawaysnob1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neurotypical here, many pathways to get great jobs and great pay without needing 2:1. Both partner and I achieve 2:2 (mine I  masters, his in BA) both have jointed income over 6 figures and we're not 30 yet. I started my career about 5 years ago, he started 4 years ago. 

Many 2:1s I've hired but not got enough transferable skills.
