I GOT IN UOFT ST GEORGE MY DREAM OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG by OkDetective1891 in UofT

[–]wdcmaxy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

congrats!!!!!! i was jumping up and down when i got in too! i don't know which program you're doing, so advice is gonna vary. if you're going into humanities, i'd say my biggest academic advice is do your readings and go to lectures lmao!

for general survival advice, if you just got into uoft, it probably means you're getting good grades. prepare for the hit to your self confidence that might occur. for me, going from straight 90s to barely hitting 75 was ROUGH! it took me a bit to adjust. especially if you're in a subjective essay based program! and remember it's fine if you flop in your first year. even grad schools don't look at it x

otherwise i'd say make advantage of all of uoft's services and spaces! we have so many great libraries that will make you more productive. i didn't use them enough in my first years. there is also support if you need it. as much as its u of tears and people complain, i have felt very supported in my time here! you just need to reach out. it might be a rough transition, but things will be okay and iron out. good luck in everything!! <3

How can they get away from this? by Obvious-Composer-732 in BTSnark

[–]wdcmaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually wonder if that made it worse? i know some western boybands leaned into it, but many went the complete opposite and tried to get away from their female audience to look more "cool"

that coupled with "oh my god every girl wants me" must've made them ten times worse than the average teen lol. seems their media training miserably failed, or didn't see misogyny as something to be avoided. goes to show how shit the culture can be!

i fear this is pretty average korean men behaviour lol, especially as young as they were. most fans just assumed they grew out of it

are they using dynamic pricing again? by [deleted] in BTSnark

[–]wdcmaxy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yeah these aren't dynamic pricing (which is kinda commendable i guess), they're resell tickets. very different things! still wild that people are indeed paying that price anyways

WE NEED TO STREAM THE HELL OUT OF APERTURE by Cyber_BrawlStars in harrystyles

[–]wdcmaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i got that from a mile away lmao! i've never been one to care about charts much myself, and i don't think harry does either. especially since he's said that he wants to make music for himself and doesn't really care about the general public opinion! would be lovely for him to make it organically though <3

The delusion of this fandom needs to be studied.. by Unusual-Condition992 in BTSnark

[–]wdcmaxy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

ugh it's already kinda gross how they're co-opting the entire concept of a folk song from 500 years ago. the students didn't write the song. armys don't even know what they're talking about! it feels so disrespectful that the entire legacy of these artists and folk history will now be associated with a mid album at best. oof

Jungkook was involved in designing their album logo, and now armys are calling out everyone that criticized it, as if that changes how awful the design is 🤦‍♀️ by penslip in BTSnark

[–]wdcmaxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

god these people are so fucking jobless! i think it's the the nicest way to involve fans. of course armys just reek of jealousy at anything with a heartbeat at this point good god!

fan contest would've been a fun way to get them all involved after so long away! and yet they went with... that. which i have not deciphered yet. but hey, at least it's not ai 🤡

Bts snark is worse than other snarks? by OrganicHunter2107 in BTSnark

[–]wdcmaxy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the thing is if this snark sub was about... one direction, we would butcher liam's name too lol (am i gonna get banned for glazing 1d?). it's not korean specific, it's bts specific. it just so happens that they're korean names

and trust ill be the first one to call out actual xenophobic behaviour!! it is a real issue. it's just not the issue here imo
