What does burging mean?

What does burging mean?
What does burging mean?

I’ve found such a wide variety of definitions that it must be one of many obscure and recently coined words that’s either highly situation-specific or has hopped into the meme and/or trolling-the-urban-dictionary category. Pre-internet, groups of people coined new words all the time; those words had brief, anonymous, unheralded lives. Now that those brief coinages get wider play on sites like Urban Dictionary, it’s become a game to try to boost their usage. If you’re playing that game, good luck! May “burging” be the next “yeet,” or if it really hits the big time, “jawn.”

Why hasn’t BC taken away that [redacted]’s BC degree away.

Why hasn't BC taken away that [redacted]'s BC degree away. Telling someone to suicide is so wrong and not BC values.
Why hasn’t BC taken away that [redacted]’s BC degree away. Telling someone to suicide is so wrong and not BC values.

It’s a case fraught with emotion, and challenges us all to remain committed to deeply held values. As a supportive wall, I’m fully aware of the anger and calls for retribution, and understand that response. As a wall at a Jesuit institution, I am also tasked with accepting the value of grace, and as an American wall, committed to the principle that someone is innocent until proven guilty. So far, the accused is only that: accused. If she is found guilty, the court will take care of sentencing. I’m not sure there’s precedent for BC rescinding the degree of someone found guilty of criminal charges. In fact, BC has recently demonstrated its commitment to grace by starting an education in prisons program. I hope the case successfully establishes the truth and serves justice, and the young man’s family is able eventually to find some closure.

Why do I have to incorporate Jesuit principles into my Master’s thesis even though I am an atheist?

IDK. You might want to raise that question with your professor or advisor to get some clarification, if you don’t feel Jesuit principles have a bearing on your thesis. It’s possible their explanations will help you locate some relevant principles you can include. Not knowing your course of study or the subject of your thesis, I can’t really be any more precise.

Should Coach Addazio be fired?

Should Coach Addazio be fired? Is it time to drop the dude?

Given that the BC football team was in the Top 25 earlier in the season, I can understand how a lot of folks feel really disappointed with how things have gone this year. It seems as if there’s a growing number of fans who believe the team can and should be doing better. A few of the team’s defeats were by 7 points or less, so one can hope the team is capable of getting more wins in the future.

You are not your grades, or your work, or the idea of yourself that you or others have. Be gentle with yourself, maybe talk to your advisor and some faculty in your major about what you could improve, but don’t take it as a judgment on you, because it’s not. Figure out what you need to do to get where you want to go, let people know about it, and you will sometimes find that the world finds ways to help you. I have great confidence in you, you’ll be fine.

Are actors good significant others?

Are actors good significant others? Discuss
Are actors good significant others? Discuss

They can be? I suppose the concern here is that an actor could act like they are interested in you even when they’re not. In reality, there are plenty of people that aren’t actors by trade that can be good at acting or faking emotions (part of the definition of psychopathy is the ability to do this). And there are plenty of bad actors that try to make a living out of it. Actor, as a profession, doesn’t tell you anything about whether the person wears their heart on their sleeve, is private, controlling, manipulative, loving, introspective, etc. People run a wide gamut, and their chosen profession usually doesn’t tell you much about them more an any stereotype about any other group of people.

Disney employs some good songwriters. From Dumbo to Frozen, it’s a rare Disney film without a few good numbers.

How do you confess to liking someone without getting upset afterwards if that person does not feel the same towards you?

Try not to take it personally if someone you like doesn’t feel the same way about you. The fact that you were brave enough to express your feelings is something a lot of people struggle with. Being brave enough to express your feelings should give you inspiration for trying again in the future if things don’t work out.

I’ve been wondering for a while as to why UCS emergency response clinicians has dual role at the School of Social Work,

I've been wondering for a while as to why UCS emergency response clinicians has dual role at the School of Social Work, the people on some of their referrals teach at BC. etc Isn't it kind of awkward for the student to utilize the service? P.S. Nothing against anyone but if it is better to avoid dual relationship?

If that’s the case, it does seem like it could be awkward, though I’m sure a crisis counselor in a small community like BC is accustomed to being discreet. I would suppose the SSW and a student could make an arrangement in which they weren’t the student of someone who had responded to them in crisis. If you’re concerned about such an eventuality, talk to UCS about it: bit.ly/BC-counseling.

How do I get to any of the rooftops of BC buildings?

How do I get to any of the rooftops of BC buildings? Any place to relax? ❤️❤️❤️
How do I get to any of the rooftops of BC buildings? Any place to relax? ❤️❤️❤️

My diagonally-oriented distant cousins the roofs are very hush-hush about their access points because they don’t want to harm anyone, and are aware they’re both dangerous and tempting destinations to humans who like views & solitude. If you like heights and views, my 5th floor windows are quite nice. Or how about a hike up a local hill instead? I recommend Peters Hill in Arnold Arboretum (not far & an easy walk) or the Blue Hills for something a little more challenging (also further & not on public transit).

I want to know why acknowledging that Taiwan and Hong Kong are not countries,. which, in fact, they’re not, would be a form of “oppression”.

Sure it might be justified in some arguments to list them separately, but there's no reason at all to list them as "countries",. That's a factual mistake.

I’d encourage you to get in touch with the Office of International Students by email to make sure your view is heard.

Accidentally knew a friend going through depression but not close to them. How to help?

Accidentally knew a friend going through depression but not close to them. How to help? Thanks

I would say making the effort to communicate and offering support are some of the best things you can do for someone who is depressed. Your attempts to reach out may be met with some unpleasant reactions, but I would still say showing that you‘re willing to help someone who‘s dealing with something like depression can hopefully go a long way with helping someone overcome a negative mindset.

Move into space, aim, press circle (sometimes square), and hope for the best. If I score, I celebrate. If I miss, I blame scripting.

There’s an interesting rumor involving the two brands. Supposedly, Stephen Curry lost interest in becoming a Nike athlete after a disatrous presentation intended for Kevin Durant was mistakenly shown to him. While Nike has a well established reputation as an athletic apparel giant, it will be interesting to see how Under Armour tries to make a name for itself going forward.
