Is UNIV 101 worth taking? If not, what easy gen ed to replace it with?

I’m making some last minute revisions to my schedule, because unfortunately the advisor i met with had me pick some courses that don’t help me graduate at all

I am starting with math 150, so i’m wondering if it’s better to at least take another gen ed over UNIV 101, or does that not help?

French 201 as a freshman? Or another language?

So i’m making some last minute changes to my schedule because apparently my online advisor told me to pick a few useless classes

Now I took 3 years of french in high school, and ended up completing french 3, though I’d say that’s largely thanks to our teacher being very nice and just easy on our class

However this does mean that I can take french 201 right away, which I wanted to know, how hard or how easy are the french courses here? I did take a gap year post high school and I don’t really remember much french outside the basics, do you guys think it would be possible to pass french 201?

I’ve also heard online sign language is pretty easy, so if french is a difficult course here I could take that?

One year later, I still hate how they treated Galactus in the third act of this movie

I think he’s perfect in the second act during the space ship sequence,

but in the third act they really just reduce galactus to “purple king kong” or purple godzilla, and it’s shown like he’s capable of nothing other than being big and strong

i’ve heard the “the f4 are like ants to him” analogy so many times, yet it makes no sense. If ANTS started moving a human against their will in real life, i’m sure they’d be using whatever they can to stop it, yet galactus is being pushed by Sue for minutes and does absolutely nothing other than struggling to stand up like we’re watching Kong or Godzilla

and yet this is supposedly THE galactus, the same being who is a threat to the universe and has powers that you could list for hours, yet he can’t use ANY OF THEM to free himself?

it’s just so mind boggling to me that they would ruin a so far so good adaptation in the final act of the movie

what do you guys think?

Buying advice, laptop with wifi or PS5/TV with ethernet?

Hi, so I’m really excited for this game, and i’ve heard that for fighting games playing on console connected to a TV can be worse for input delay?

So in my case, I can either get the game on my gaming laptop which could 100% run the game no issues, but i’d be playing on wifi

or i could get it on my ps5 which is connected to my LG tv that’s a bit old, but it’d be connected to ethernet

which would offer me a better experience?

Assigned to a Chesapeake dorm, what should I bring and anything I should be worried about?

What should I bring to make the dorm good for staying in, since I’ll most likely have an online part time job, i’ll be spending most of my time in my dorm

Are there any pest issues? like roaches/bugs/whatever else, Im terrible at dealing with those, any caution to take in advance?

Is the dorm something you can stay in outside of sleeping? Or is it better to spend your day outside till you’re about to sleep

They really are doing monthly updates now it seems

what even is the point of early access anymore if they’re just gonna take a month or longer to finish things and then release the update

Dabura should NOT be a boss moveset

He may be the strongest but I do NOT want to play some dogshit like FSD every time I want to play as him, nor do I want to spend time in a private server

He should be a regular character, same as how Shinjuku Gojo is a regular character despite being overpowered

Is Paypal safe for keeping my money if I can’t leave it in my bank account? If not what alternatives are better?

Currently I’m making some money from a side gig which I can’t keep in my bank account for personal reasons, so i’ve been saving them in my paypal account instead.

However i’ve heard a lot recently that it’s not safe to keep it there in case paypal decides to lock your account for whatever reason and I can end up losing all that money

So now i’m looking for alternatives, I’ve heard CashApp could be good potentially? Please give me advice on this

Legal name change, do I have to change it for my account?

Like the title says, I’m in the US and got a legal name change recently and wondering if I should bother changing my name on the account

I heard that name change process is annoying and it’s better to close my account and make a new one, but i’m not sure if that’s a good idea and I don’t want to transfer the money I have there to my bank.

any advice?

Tze got corrupted by Jimpee

Notice how after the JSD collab Tze stopped updating biweekly?

They CAN release 1-2 moves every other week, we saw this with nanami. Tze is CHOOSING to wait and make “bigger” updates like how jimpee does with JSD

it’s honestly a dogshit way of updating a bg game and that reflects off JSDs player count

They could’ve been released Ryu’s final move which is just fully completed and waiting, they could’ve released a move or two for hanami which they have done and are just waiting

Yet they choose not to so they can make a “bigger” update

I’ve been trying to research online yet almost everything i find apparently can make a crown come off, like at this point it sounds like breathing will make the crown come off easier

So for anyone that’s knowledgeable, what are things that could actually make a permanent crown fall off early?

Will sodas like coke still make the cement wear off? What about slightly harder bread like baguettes

Please share your insight

I hope they add thanos as a tank/duelist, not only would he be incredibly hype, but it’d be perfect for the next two events

So last week I started having sinus infection symptoms, and this monday I went to an urgent care clinic where they gave me antibiotics that I’d take 2 times a day for 10 days, as well as a nasal spray, and cetrizine

They also told me that my symptoms would go away the first few days of taking my medication, but i’d need to take all of it to make sure they don’t come back

However the same day of going to urgent care I went home and my symptom changed from left eye pain to extremely HORRIFIC, like 10/10 pain on my left lower teeth, to the point having my teeth make contact with the upper ones felt like I was having a surgery awake, and I failed to eat or sleep so I ended up going to an ER midnight where they gave me ibuprofen

Now i’ve been taking 2 ibuprofen of 800mg each every 8 hours and have had the antibiotic and nasal spray for my 3rd day, yet the teeth pain hasn’t even come close to going away. Is this normal? Like I straight up can’t function without the ibuprofen yet I don’t want to rely too much on them because the amount I’m taking can’t be healthy

Okay so, I have been offered a scholarship that requires me to keep a GPA of 3.2 or higher, and I have until May 1st to say whether i accept it or not

So here’s the thing, i qualify for the GA grant but have not been awarded yet, and depending on how much the GA grant gives me, I might not need the scholarship money and wouldn’t have to stress myself about keeping a certain GPA, but the issue is i’ll most likely be awarded somewhere in mid May, which is after the deadline for accepting the scholarship

Is it possible to accept the scholarship and remove it down the line? Any advice would be appreciated
