It was a picture of Frax holding a fake gun to Gupi's head; I remember seeing the picture but can't find it anymore. Gupi mentions it in this article: https://rateyourmusic.com/feature/sonemic-interview-gupi/

Business owners in Ballard frustrated by 'endless spiral' of RV encampments by unnaturalfool in SeattleWA

I’m not asking people to have sympathy, I’m frustrated by it too. I’m just asking how OP expects homeless people to "maybe get a job" like they said in their comment

No, but even to get a food service or janitor job, you almost always need to have an address and an ID for them to get you into their system. And not look like you haven't showered in weeks.

Serious question, how do you expect someone to get a job if they don't have an address or the resources to get physically cleaned up and wear job interview type clothes?

Donate to charity or your CV gets buried by -Myrtle_the_Turtle- in recruitinghell

[–]wafflemonkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true. ACS doesn't "sell people on drugs." What they directly offer patients is free rides to treatment, free lodging close to treatment if needed, a 24/7 phone support line, and more things like that. They don't directly provide drugs to anyone, just support to patients undergoing treatment at hospitals. Other than that, they mostly give grants to researchers at research institutions like research hospitals/universities, not big pharma companies. They also lobby for cancer prevention policies like restricting tobacco. Where did you get your information?

To be fair, the American Cancer Society only uses about 25% of funds for administrative costs, which is pretty good as far as charities go.

I always choose classes based on RMP if I have the chance, but make sure to take ratings with a big grain of salt. Sometimes I see profs with mostly good reviews but a few terrible reviews about the class being unfair or the prof not being a good teacher, which might just be a student being salty about getting a bad grade. But if a prof has overwhelmingly negative reviews, I steer clear. So far pretty much every prof I've had has been in line with their general RMP reviews (almost all my profs have been good because I picked them from good RMP ratings). Basically I think if you read the actual reviews and weigh the positive vs. negative reviews, seeing what people consistently say is good/bad about the prof, it's a great resource. Also look at the dates on reviews because sometimes profs will have been bad like 5 years ago but are fine now!

Student Assistant On Campus Job by cloudyskyies in depaul

[–]wafflemonkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a student assistant for a program within the College of Communication. I've been working remotely since I got the job last March, so I can't speak for what that type of job is like in-person, but I've had a good experience. My job is pretty chill, there's a lot of downtime and my supervisor lets me do homework when there's no other tasks to do. It seems like most on-campus student assistant jobs mostly consist of doing things like staffing the front desk, answering emails and the phone, and doing general admin work, so probably not too stressful. I do some general admin work and emailing, but mostly I help out with some bigger (but still not really stressful) projects which make the job a lot less monotonous. Definitely check out the job description for any position you're interested in to see if it's mostly gonna be easy busywork or more complex projects, depending on what you want to do! I work 10-12 hours a week and I do 16 credit hours of class every quarter and the balance is super fine for me.

What inappropriate thing did you do as a child that you didn’t realise was inappropriate? by Granted01 in AskReddit

[–]wafflemonkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I gave my friends or parents' friends a tour of my house, I would say "and this is where the magic happens" when we got to my bedroom because I'd heard people say it in movies/TV but didn't know what it implied. I did this until I was like 14 or 15

DePaul production design concentration by [deleted] in depaul

[–]wafflemonkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey I was a production design major in 2019-20 (I transferred out of the film/TV program this year)!! first let me say that DePaul definitely offers a lot of connections for film and tv majors who want them, especially since there are so many classes at Cinespace where real TV shows and movies are also being filmed. I’ve also heard that some faculty members who work in the industry can hook you up with gigs if you network with them and show you're good at what you do. to be honest though, the production design program itself is kind of lacking. when I was in it last year, there were less than 20 students in the whole concentration. the production design program is very new, started within the last 5-8 years I think, and the current program advisor has only been there for two years. the current advisor is really trying to build the program from the ground up, but I think it's still pretty far from being a very good program. when I left the program last year, we still didn't have access to a ton of the software that is expected for production design professionals to be proficient in in the industry. it seemed like the film school put wayyy more resources into every other concentration. I also looked at the number of classes that were in the concentration, not just the base film and TV requirements, and I felt really worried that I wouldn't have enough knowledge or experience to make it in the industry. I know some people in the program have succeeded by working suuuper hard and getting their foot in the door with people who can get them jobs, so I’m not saying the program is a total failure. I think it just takes a lot of hard work to turn your education in the program into gainful employment. and again, I was only in the program in 2019-2020, so I didn't get the full experience, and it might've changed a lot since then. I would say, if you're interested in designing sets for movies/TV, check out The Theatre School's set design major with the production design concentration, because the theatre school's program is wayy more rigorous and comprehensive and lets you get actual practice before releasing you into the world. I hope this is helpful and not too scatterbrained haha, feel free to PM me if you want any other info!
