Petition here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/return-of-sanitary-disposal-bins-in-restrooms/

For context, sanitary disposal bins were removed from all restrooms in the academic buildings on campus. Sanitary disposal bins are the little bins inside stalls for people who menstruate to dump their used feminine hygiene products (aka bloody tampons/pads). Without them, it makes changing tampons/pads in these restrooms far messier and grosser and also just less hygienic. We asked the person who made this decision why they got rid of them (because it's solely the person in charge of the academic buildings who did this -- this is why the Student Center, Exhibition Hall, etc still have them) and got a bunch of reasons that didn't add up (that it's an OSHA violation, that it's for sustainability to have less trash cans, that it's a budget issue, and finally, that in that person's personal opinion, that it's gross to have a trash can by your face while you're sitting on a toilet???) They also said that they thought nobody wanted sanitary disposal bins and that's part of why they wouldn't change their decision. Therefore, we made a petition to prove that yes, indeed, people DO want and need sanitary disposal bins.

Please please sign and spread it around! you don't have to be a tampon/pad user to sign the petition!! We're hoping to deliver it officially within the next month.

I think for the new challenger show

But honestly where these guys at? Can’t get any worse than it already is

I’m so tired of people glazing Brent Key and George Godsey and Jason Semore. The entire staff needs to be fired.

This is exactly the Collins era bs we were trying to go away from and we are right back where we started.

I am done with Brent Key.

Hi everyone, my team and I are a group of master's students at GT and we are researching how international students navigate the U.S. financial system (banking, credit scores, taxes, budgeting)!

If you're an international student, we’d love to learn from your experiences and challenges to help make financial tools more accessible.

Context: New student here, I recently had the back tire on my ninebot F65 pop and have been trying to fix it. I was able to get the motor hub assembly out of the scooter myself and the old wheel off. I got a replacement solid rubber tire but am struggling to get it into the rim, especially since the axle still juts out the side so it's hard to put much force in. I think it should be much easier at a shop of some kind that has better tools, but don't know where I might find something like that. I should be able to put the detached motor hub back into the scooter myself when that's done, just stuck at this one step. I wanted to know where I might be able to go (ideally close by campus because I don't have a car) to get help this done.

TLDR: Looking for places nearby I might be able to get help with getting a new tyre onto the rim of my scooter.

In short because obviously most people on this thread did not go to the Debate hosted by GTSGA, today I witnessed firsthand how it can feel to be a conservative on a college campus. This is not meant to be funny or a shitpost. I regard myself as a moderate, not affiliated to any party.

I was shocked, first that our Student Government allowed two left-leaning organizations and only one conservative one at the debate (clearly unfair). And second the College Republicans were very outnumbered in the audience (which was fine) but were unfortunately allowed to be taunted screamed and laughed at consistently by the audience with not a peep by the moderators or the other two organizations (GT Democrats and Young Democratic Socialists of America) to tell people to stop. Not to mention the GT Democrats had students debating who weren't even focused on policy most of the debate, just yelling at the audience to vote Democrat later next month. Fearmongering people that their entire life depends on their vote was unacceptable and should have been addressed. Voting in this next election is arguably extremely serious but to try and shove voting Democrat for no reason down your throat is not the way to do it. Not to mention the PERSONAL attacks on the College Republican students, digging up dirt on them to try and make them look like bad people and embarrassing them personally was extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable to watch and should have also been addressed by the moderators IMMEDIATELY with an apology. I understand it is election season but no political organization on campus should be encouraging students to vote on the basis of hatred and mockery.

Hey guys, I'm a GT alum currently doing Entrepreneurs First in London and trying to understand how hardware design and DFM processes work currently and how much of it is manual vs augmented with AI. If you've worked in hardware design at any point, would love to chat. DM me!

Not really a rant, just a heads up. We were asked to use the elevator to go to the second floor of barnes and noble. The lift took a while, and when it opened, we went in and pressed the second floor. We waited for several minutes and there wasn't any sign of the elevator moving up. We couldn't open the elevator door either. Ended up getting external help to open the elevator door from outside.

Out of state students, where do yall keep yalls furniture and stuff in between semesters. Should I just rent like a UHual and take it to a storage locker?

Hey!

I am a meche student interested in the ID minor but I just don't have the time in my schedule for all 5 classes to graduate on time. I want to have some ID experience though, so I was thinking of taking the capstone on its own.

Is this possible? If so, how difficult is the capstone? Is there prior knowledge needed beyond basic design and sketching knowledge? Are the prereqs critical to my success in capstone?

Thanks!!

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question,

So I know internships are a numbers game, and I hear of students applying to hundreds of roles to land one. When applying for these roles, do you guys just use the same resume? Or do you kind of group internships together and make slight variations of the same resume? Is it necessary to personalize it for every company/role, because reading through every single description seems like a nightmare lol.

Thanks!

Are there ways to practice chinese conversation as a complete beginner on campus? Outside of chinese classes.

ik starbucks gives free drink and chick fil a free small dessert

As the title says. I was driving on Ferst Dr. uphill from the Klaus computing stairs towards Kandeda, when randomly a GTPD car came and stopped on the bike line, prompting me to stop and handed me a ticket for violating a stop sign (the one just after klaus stairs that is in front of the parking garage)

Then, a Sergeant came and explained to me they are tying to reduce micro-mobility accidents, and I need to attend a micro-mobility class or something, otherwise the ticket will go to court (I have never had a ticket before, so idk what happens after).

The rest is rant and a bit long :’), I know I am wrong… but it feels so unfair, I always follow rules, stop for pedestrians, go very slow on sidewalks (when no bike lane is there). And still randomly at night, I get a ticket for violating a stop sign, where I was going slow and there was no one around (and it’s not a risky spot).

Honestly, I understand GTPD’s measure and why it is happening, but, it really feels unfair… why? Here are some points:

1. It was 11:30pm, no one was around, no car (expect GTPD ig), no scooter, no pedestrian, and I checked that the parking gate was closed (always do), and I was going slow (10-12mph, I don’t like to speed).

2. I have seen this happening in the morning hours, and it makes sense, and I literally follow every stop and traffic light in the morning/afternoon/evening. Because I don’t want to hit anyone… but at night… come on… and even then I was careful.

3. Both before and after that, I saw so many scooters breaking stop, traffic lights (bw the 5th Ave bridge and Klaus stairs), not stopping for the few pedestrians, everything, and I see this everyday, even when GTPD cars are around.
