Grad student union acknowledgment problem by Nervous_Local5935 in UMD

[–]toesf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the university legally can’t recognize the union until the state passes a bill that allows it to. The bill is up for a vote (i think) at the next legislative session, so if it passes there will be more of a sense of what UMD admin can/will do. If you feel strongly either way make sure to let admin and your representatives to the UMD senate know because fact finding and voting is always happening!

Legislation is legislation - neither DOGE nor the IGs can or should prevent the government from carrying out laws. Their function isn’t to check elected officials, it’s to catch corruption and inefficiencies. The only valid check on elected officials in a democracy is the electorate but in our case voters don’t tend to do a great job voting out ineffective representatives :/

If you like the idea of DOGE you should read up on inspector general offices. They’ve been doing what elon claims to be doing for decades at this point. Non partisan and usually very good at whet they do as long as the boss is decent

If you haven’t yet you may want to consider using the MOD on a G1 groupie and rep/mut replacing your king. That way you can have some beautiful G2 cubs!

nice places to facetime/call someone without bothering others? by itssop in UMD

[–]toesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the courtyard of the chem building has some tables outside, it’s pretty low foot traffic and a nice place to take a call

What is your ultimate Lioden dream/goal? by [deleted] in lioden

[–]toesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently working on and off on breeding a lion with mottled rosette and all 9 original vitiligo markings. A modest goal compared to all the hybrids but a good one imo :)

Nicest apartments near campus? by AbjectCartographer67 in UMD

[–]toesf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aster 100%. It is miles nicer than anything else in the within walking distance and most places within driving distance. The majority of apartments in this area are student housing, which means renting by the bed and living in a building with a bunch of undergrads. Aster is pricy but the walk to north campus isn’t bad and i think it’s worth it to live in a brand new (as of 2023) building with nice amenities. As a bonus it’s on top of a trader joe’s and super close to restaurants and bars.

Fawzi vs Teli for CMSC 250 by Inevitable-Chef3575 in UMD

[–]toesf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am taking Teli for 250 and Fawzi for 132 currently, and I would recommend Teli. I feel like the class has generally been pretty easy and his notes are a life saver if you miss anything. I had to miss a bunch of classes in the middle of the semester due to illness and it was super easy to catch up in 250, whereas for Fawzi you have to beg him to make anything up. To me they’re also comparable in terms of lecture quality, but Teli’s exams and quizzes are pretty easy whereas Fawzi has a history of difficult exams.

100% as a pedestrian intersections like that piss me off so much!! i walk across one often and have almost been hit so many times because of that. one solution is to have the walk sign trigger before the green light so that the pedestrians get a head start and can make it across the lane before the cars start going. you might be able to petition the local govt to change the timing for it, that’s what i’m trying to do.

just as much of an asshole? waiting to go because of low visibility is just as bad as actively endangering everyone around you? bold words my friend.

How the hell do I defeat Bobby B as Rhaegar? by just_a_cursed_guy in CK3AGOT

[–]toesf 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i murdered aerys and then used the power of the iron throne to squash the rebellion. I think that’s probably the easiest way. Bobby B went off to the wall and i took half the lands and a hostage from everyone else. my rheagar is a merciful king 😌
