Which CAL are you in? I'll hunt you down >. I'm easier to spot; I have curly flaxen hair and wear leather shoes that are falling apart + jeans.

Yeah, good job not sponsoring one program. Don't worry about all the other stuff they do, UoM is clearly the worst. Jesus Christ, I thought people were over this stuff.

I'm so sorry for upsetting you Hancock <3

[Hancock]

I'm not particularly upset with Thu Thu's post specifically, just the entire mentality of "us vs them" between both universities that seems to be exaggerated on social media like AN, FB etc. It's akin to people who hold racist views stating "but it's just a joke!" in order to justify saying what they believe, which is absolute bullshit. Anyway, letting it be, no point stressing over an internet forum. GG guyz.

Genuinely curious: was UoM actually asked to sponsor the project but declined to do so?

Edit: I've now reached the word limit for that assignment and am 50% done, as always.  From 'unable to start' to UNABLE TO STOP in just a few hours.

Totally my fault, I shouldn't have given you that immensely helpful start before.

I carpooled with an Honours student most of last year, you guys are comedy gold. Much schadenfreude such work wow

Edit: oh, also "And the lymphocyte lived happily ever after. Until apoptosis. THE END" submit for publication.

To liken University rivalry to racism is a bit much and probably a little offensive to people who have to endure racism to be honest

Less likening it to racism, more as drawing a parallel of how people justify their views. And as someone who has endured racism from Year 7 - 11, I'm more than familiar of it's effects.
