Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

[Poguely]

I’ve always been aware of Ruby but found her too intolerable to even hate watch back in the day. Some of her writing content has popped up for me recently though and I’ve been watching some old vids and found this thread.

WTF is it with her and food? There seems to be a low level weirdness about it seeped through her content. Her veganism and forced workouts seem weirdly out of character and possibly orthorexic more than anything else - has that been discussed much? Or maybe it just seems a bit 2014 still… for somebody with such traditional sensibilities and obviously living rurally I’m surprised she’s not pushing the raw milk regenerative farming rhetoric and a high animal large diet like lots of influencers are atm. It would suit her preindustrial vibe. I came across that old morning routine vid where she was using a water jug and washbasin in her room wearing an effing bed jacket. Half expected her to pull out a bed pan of her own piss or a block of arsenic soap.

I’m calling it… in a few years we’ll see her hand churning butter and butchering a lamb

For the record I think it would be a major improvement health wise… the rice milk and bagel diet can’t be doing her any good. Or should I say mash and quorn dinosaurs

She's not actually vegan, it's preformative for the camera. She gets caught out eating non-vegan stuff on a regular basis. Most recently at 5 guys a few weeks ago. She thinks it's quirky and unique that a big part of her personality is eating carrots. Even though we rarely actually see her eat carrots, just trust bro, she does. Probably as part of her Rory Gilmore cannibalism because that's around the time the stupid carrots thing started. Because Rory has food obsessions (of the junk variety, but still). We know she pretends to be obsessed with coffee because of Rory when beforehand she used to verbally express her distaste for it.

I personally believe that the reason she eats so little on camera is because she hates the food she makes. Because nobody actually likes frozen peas in their morning porridge.

In her Victorian child era, she used to sleep with her bedroom window cracked open because she heard somewhere that's what Victorians used to do.

whoever called her going back to twirling in the garden.. well done lol

What am I looking at here? It looks like some weird ritual

She's doing a sacrifice to the gods of Oxford to have good marks.

duck me she got a distinction, the bar is underground

edit: PhD incoming

also my fave new Roobface

Everybody buckle up for a summer of twirling, followed by endless macadamia. Before we know it, she’ll be a leading axpert on arrly madarn gahrlhood.

i feel like its time we let our ropes lose a little bit, We doubted she would get a first in her bachelors because she is "so dumb", she ended up getting a first. Last 9 months on this forum has been how she will duck up her Masters, she got a distinction. The bar is not on the ground, maybe she is horrible in many other ways but maybe we should finally consider that she is academically smart and knows how to play the ground.

Oxford must really have a low grading bar then because we see how idiotic she is in every single video, and I am not talking about her quirky behaviour. I'm talking about the woman who thinks Mary, Queen of Scots was Elizabeth I's sister. The woman who can't spell or speak correctly. Who failed miserably at debates and talks, speeches and overall everything. Stretching out her education does not surprise me. She has nothing else to show for. Just another excuse to quote poetry, twirl in fields, try to pretend she is all about the macademia and make a fool of herself for another few years. Don't hold you breath to see her actually grow up, get a job and do something worthwhile in her life. Not going to happen. But it doesn't lure me in to watch her more. I'm just so over this childish crap. There are so many people who focus on life at uni, their studies, reading, book hauls and other interesting topics. The past two years have been her most boring ones yet.

Honestly, I feel happy for her that she got such a good grade. But I am a little bit confused with the grade system. So in GB, you will pass if you have 40%? Here in Germany, you need 50% to pass (B.A. and M.A.). In some degrees, you need 61 to pass, and you need 93–100 for a distinction. In Oxford, it is 70+ isn't it? But I find it kind of overreacting to be so nervous about a paper when it is not even your thesis. I think she should definitely work on her nervousness.

We called it that she would do a PhD at Oxford even though she has possibly hated every minute of her postgraduate degree as she never looked like she was enjoying herself during the 9 months that she was at Oxford for. I honestly can't believe that she has come out with a distinction when we have seen just how much she has struggled with this masters.

 

[July9696]

Idk I’m not surprised. Her whole identity is based around external validation from teachers and from grades. Remember how devastated she was when she got her first mark back at Exeter? It’s clearly her life source and without it she goes into existential meltdown.
The difference is, most of us learn that there’s more to life than being given a pat on the head. Given the impact it has on her, if I was her, I’d make damn sure I got a first too. Sad, really.

These dungarees are way too small on her… she’s probably had them since she was twalve. The top part is clearly too short for her torso - dungarees shouldn’t be stopping that low It’s one thing to wear your old clothes that still fit but it’s just weird when they very clearly don’t fit anymore.

Also how did she get a distinction there’s no way

Edit: also I’m confused - has she got a conditional PhD offer from Oxford dependent on her getting the distinction? Or is she going to take a gap yaahr and apply for the following year? She just said ‘if I want to do a PhD at Oxford I need a distinction’. Guess we’ll find out soon.

Yup, there's been zero evidence in her videos and content that she has the intelligence and ability to land those kind of grades, especially at that level. Every sample of writing or completed essay she's shown only reinforces how intellectually stunted and inept she is and every glimpse at her essay-writing process shows how prone she is to dodgy shortcuts and cheating.

Apparently cannibalising every essay you find, getting ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting and relentlessly sucking up to your supervising tutor really pays off!

Now she'll be dropping £30-40,000 a year for 4 years on yet another degree she has no need for, no interest in and won't enjoy a single moment of. For someone so terrified of growing up, she sure is in a hurry to waste years of her life on things she actively dislikes.

RIP her YEECHEEB channel if we have another 4 years of the same lazy-as-duck AWKSFWUD content to look forward to. Hopefully she at least has the false confidence to share her dissertation about WANTING TYEUU BEEE TWALVE FWOREAVVER online.

If she's the representation of what "academically smart" is supposed to be, then the world is doomed. Or that she plays dumb just to rage bait people.

This mark just shows how low the grading bar is at Oxford because at the university I went to and in the masters I did which was Psychology I'm certain that not many of us came out with a distinction overall.

I am confused too. What I can compare to a distinction is maybe getting a grade above 90%? Also, do people ever fail their MA?

Do you think her "influencer" status helped her get better grades?

Maybe she works hard too? I think if you consistently work with your professors on your thesis, you can get a distinction.

Master’s degrees are a cash cow for a lot of universities so I’m sure she got her money’s worth in handholding. And she definitely knows how to play the game. I maintain her writing is atrocious (witness this shitshow) and I’ll believe she had an original, coherent and interesting argument when I see it. Academic smarts don’t equate to actual intelligence. Still, grade inflation or not, she got a good grade that will enable her to move forward, so good for her

I do think they hold your hand during a master's. I wouldn't call her writing atrocious but it is quite boring and uninspired. Besides her insipid voice, she doesn't offer a lot of her own thoughts.

I don't think there's any evidence that she is highly intellectual, original or talented. But equally I don't think she is necessarily lacking in intelligence either. I think she is a somewhat-bright girl, IQ probably hovering around average if not a bit above.

But that's what pisses me off about her tbh. She's a dull, intellectually average woman who has succeeded in the areas she has because of her immense family wealth and the obsessive personality she built and maintained around a fictional child. But she sells it as if it's innate and immutable intelligence, talent and moral worth. It's that discrepancy that makes me dislike her.

You can definitely fail an Master‘s. Most of my flatmates at uni were postgrads and I know of at least one who didn’t pass their Master‘s. I believe they left with a Post Graduate diploma or certificate - I think they failed the taught component so weren‘t allowed to write a dissertation.

I am curious to know if Ruby‘s got funding for a PhD, or if she‘s self-funding.

 

[Ilaariaa]

For my own sanity, I refuse to believe the same person who just posted a video of herself playing with mashed potatoes like a toddler also got a distinction in a Master's thesis at Oxford

Interesting. I know you can fail but I highly doubt it happens often. I hope she is self-funding since her family has the means to pay for it.
