Sorry if this has been posted but I found it interesting, I think it shows she doesn’t really know what’s happening, anyone could say “wow that’s awful what happened” it’s hardly offering a keen political insight

"The government is failing to recognize people as people and grant people basic human dignity", what is she talking about exactly? Is she referring to something specific going on in the UK atm, or is this as vague and generic and meaningless as it sounds to me?
ETA: also, not to get political here, but it's pretty common for people of a certain demographic to claim to vote leftist parties when it comes to social matters and human rights because it's trendy and makes them look good, but as soon as their wealth or profit is on the line, because they are being taxed more or they have to treat their workers better, then they sing a very different tune. Note that Ruby exclusively made very vague but progressive-sounding statements about basic human rights as if that's all there is to say about her political ideas.

Yeah, this isn't really convincing from her at all. It's her exact approach to everything she lies about: Parrot things she overheard or read somewhere which are entirely vague and so seemingly unrelated to the topic at hand that she clearly doesn't know about, care about or understand them.
This also the exact same "How dahhr you assyoom soch thyings!" indignant tone she took when complaining that people were accusing her of being dishonest about ads, when we know and have proven time and time again that she lies about ads in pretty much every single video.
She lives in a mansion with her tax-dodging, Daily Mail-and-Telegraph-reading parents. And while her parents being Tories doesn't necessarily guarantee she's one by any means, in Ruby's case, she's a compulsive liar whose entire personality is a lie and this is no different to me.
She knows exactly how unpopular Conservatives are with her fanbase and how quickly it'll kill her brand. She will never admit to being a Tory any more than she'll admit all the other dishonest and/or reprehensible tit she does in plain view. Everything about her and her actions for the past 7 years convinces me that she is 100% a Tory who will lie about it in public. She'll only ever vote her own interests, and her only clear, true interest is just getting and keeping money; she'll vote for the party who protect the wealthy and privileged.

I still can't get over her giving Art of War one star, saying next to nothing about the book, and 195 of her mindless bots liking that.What you're both saying makes sense, but I doubt it was a big deal to the Oxford interviewer. This might sound odd, but they encourage interviewees to ask about unfamiliar terms. There are a couple of reasons for this: the student might misinterpret the text and get the wrong idea altogether, or they might waffle their way through a vague answer rather than owning up to their lack of knowledge. The tutors say they're looking for students who can listen to feedback and respond to constructive criticism. As long as you're demonstrating your thinking skills it doesn't matter if there's a small gap in your knowledge. I think brine had little to do with Ruby's Oxford rejection, though it's probably her LEAST FYAVORUT word in the English language.I think the interview process went badly because...well...we've all read her Goodreads reviews. Imagine the interviewer asking Ruby to discuss her thoughts on specific works of literature and getting replies like -

Wow ruby hope your reusable water bottle makes up for the 3/4 holidays you’ve had this year

Are you from outside the UK? This sentiment she expresses is something that comes up in the UK a lot, the Tory party pushing to deport refugees and asylum seekers to Rawanda and we have a massive cost of living crisis where people are living in food poverty and can’t afford to heat their homes and have to choose between heating and eating. tory policy isn’t helping so she will be referring to that I think and she is right
Does anyone have a link to her good reads? Am always looking for new reads
I’m from the U.K. haha so I know what’s happening, saying “wow that’s awful” is just completely lacking imo In relation to what’s going on, it’s something you’d say when you can’t fully grasp what’s happening. She’s offered no opinions, mentioned cost of living etc about twice, offered some patronising ‘help’ to give people some money and hasn’t even mentioned the whole Rwanda situation. I don’t think she needs to talk about everything all the time but if she’s going to talk about how sad she feels about the government she should be more out spoken about how she doesn’t support them, remaining politically neutral in the current climate is as bad as being a Tory imo
5 holidays. Paris, Italy, Scotland, Greece, Murika. (I know they took a train to Scotland, but they sure made up for it by doing a lot of driving while there.)
I hope they also took the train to Paris and didn't flew ... went by plane ... I don't know.
My last holiday was in June 2019.
A weekend at the Dutch coast with friends. 
But it was nice.(New on this thread but have been stalking a bit, so hi!)
I haven't watched Ruby in a long time, not since I left college which was a few years ago... Why are all her videos so childlike? isn't she in her 20s now? She seems to have peter pan syndrome lol.
Reading up on things here, just seems so ?? bizarre?? She seems so lost now she's left school, doesn't want to move on to her next chapter in life. If I remember correctly I'm a year older than her, but omg her videos have made me feel about 5 years older

All the content she has put out whilst being in New England has been so BORING, at least her vlogs at home are mildly comical but I literally do not know who this content is catering to.
But she's seen a smorgasbord of sights! She visited...umm...ponds, swamps and more ponds! She's discovered new exotic creatures, like...the common sparrow! She's seen museums that bored her and bookshops that disappointed her! She's sampled such exotic tastes as a kombucha that wasn't good and a carton of water!
Surely the American tourism people will be hiring her any day now.
This is the problem with "romanticizing" your life. She has very specific expectations of what everything should be like, and if it doesn't fit the "aesthetic" she is presently trying on, it ends up being a complete failure. She seems more interested in playing dress up on this trip than anything else. Let's pretend we are Jo in Boston, let's pretend to be Emily Dickinson writing in her bedroom, let's pretend to be Amy March in a modern white summer dress on a November day. I don't care that it is warm out, she looks ridiculous and certainly not at all like a Victorian New England woman. Walden Pond may have its rich history, though I rarely hear her speak of interest in Thoreau or any of the Transcendentalists, but the pond itself is known for its high content of pollution. So much so that it is infamously known as the pond of pee and pesticides. But she snuggled right up to it, pretended to read and hang out in the cesspool. Someone also ought to warn her of deer tics. We have loads of them around here and they carry Lyme Disease. You can die from it, or at least get extremely ill. No one lies around on grass and is very careful walking around in fields. We have to check our clothes and bodies after gardening or mowing the lawn. At any rate, her vacation is winding down and honestly she has very little to show for it. Considering it was a 3 week vacation, she could have easily seen what she did in 1 week. I think anything beyond her time in Emily Dickinson's home is a letdown for her.
Oooo there's nothing like a champagne socialist - oh the insight they have into those without is.......underwhelming. in fact much like Rubes herself.
I know
I've been thinking about the interview again. It's even worse when you realise that Ruby had time to write/edit her book reviews before posting, but in the interview she'd have to reply on the spot.
I'm still not over the fact she got a first in English from a selective university.
Don't forget the tea she brought from home!
I think she's vaguely referring to the migrant 'crisis' that's been in the headlines. A lot of attention is being paid to the Manston immigration centre which is meant to be a short-term facility for people whose claims are being processed. The capacity is something like 1,600, but it has become hugely overcrowded and people are being held in appalling conditions. Cruella Suella Braverman, the home secretary, was warned about this problem but chose to look the other way. The language used by media and politicians has frequently been incendiary and xenophobic, with talk of 'Albanian criminal gangs' taking over and that kind of thing. Last week, a man firebombed an immigration centre as a result of right-wing anti-immigrant ideology, so these words have consequences.

This made me lose all faith in the grading system of Exeter. If Ruby can get a first without a single thought entering her brain, what does that say about the rest of her year? Was she that good at playing the system?
I have been genuinely shocked at her lack of knowledge (or apparently, interest) in basic classic literature, her spelling, strange pronunciation and misuse of words, even before touching on analytical skills. I'm older now and wonder if I am completely out of touch with what is demanded of tertiary level education but I would be horrified if I taught literature at Exeter and this was the cream of my crop after three years.
I'm not at Exeter but another RG uni and a high up student rep (or something, can't remember their exact title as I was told this last year) told us not to worry about grades as most lecturers will try and score you at least a 2:1 or 2:2 even if you do the absolute bare minimum of answering the essay question. Obviously I know this doesn't necessarily happen at every RG, and the person telling me could've even been wrong, but it at least rings true for my course
ETA: just to clarify, even if this is true, I'm not posting this to say I'm exactly *happy* about it. If I don't work hard, I'd hope my grade would reflect that, encouraging me to study harder
Her latest tiktok… I’m just confused as to why she has gone to this place and why is she spending her time wandering around random cemeteries? Everything she has done in the past week or so could literally be done in the UK. What’s the point in going to the US with all of the cool places and spectacular scenery it has to offer, just to hang around some boring town which tbh doesn’t even look that nice?
A friend of mine, who teaches at a British university, told me that lecturers are discouraged from grading students in the top and lower tiers of the grading scale. Even if a student is exceptional, it's very hard to give a grade that matches the student's performance. And even students who didn't attend the class at all or didn't do the assignments couldn't be graded at the lowest end of the scale.
It all looks like a normal distribution in the end.
This may explain why some students who don't do the bare minimum manage to score not too badly. Still it doesn't explain why Ruby got away with a first, that is more due to grade inflation and her just mastering the rules of the game. If she did an MA or a PhD, she'd have more problems, as she would have to do original research, which is difficult for her, as we have been able to see from her dissertation.
