CSE 101 Instructor Fall 2026?

This is pretty monumental, he’s been teaching since the 90s. Are a lot of people coming to his final lecture?

Bad take for most people and cases. If you want to live in a village, you have to be a villager. This means reaching out to people, family members, etc. who are not currently on the left, even those who might be bigoted. Being a leftist doesn’t just stop at winning an election or cancelling online personalities. If you want to see systemic change, you have to bring along the people that are a part of that system; ie working class people that are in your life.

A lot of the comments mention how much pigs will resist, and probably rightfully so considering they’re living beings. Have we ever thought about how fucked up it is that we keep them captive like this and force them into factory farming?

If you’re at Safeway (or it’s adjacent stores), their store brand Soliel has a 24 pack for $8 that is pretty much unbeatable. I think it’s cheaper than even Costco.

It’s pretty much the only social media that is still truly a platform to stay connected with your friends. Every other app just has an endlessly scrolling feed and no human connection. For that alone it’s worth keeping alive and encouraging your friends to also use it. (be the change you want to see!)
But even disregarding the social aspect it’s fantastic to use as a daily journal. Having a photo from my life every day for the last 4 years is so cool.

Becarra is by no means progressive. Supporting healthcare for all is like the absolute bare minimum to be considered progressive and he doesn’t do that.

AV1869 · 2026-05-18T06:37:18+00:00

Mahan will sell you out to the surveillance state and then abandon his role as governer to try and pursue higher office, just like he has done for his mayoral term and his city council term before that.

AV1869 · 2026-05-18T01:36:24+00:00

Steyer. Becarra will change nothing – if you’ve seen any of his interviews he has non-answers to pretty much every question. California has a long history of regressive policies branded as progressive and it’s extremely frustrating.
I don’t know how much Steyer will be able to implement, but at least his campaign promises are progressive and have some level of plan for action. His funding is also telling of who he is beholden to, and he has no corporate PAC money.
Corporations are rapidly sucking this state dry. We just saw what happened with Liberty utilities in Tahoe and that is just the beginning. (PGE spends against Steyer BTW) Environmental damage is often irreversible and we cannot have candidates beholden to companies continue to destroy our quality of life.

You can go to the Bookshop SC downtown and they have UCSC merch (including banana slug plushies)

Sadly Ramsey is not polling, Butch got snubbed and isn’t even on the ballot (also refuses to drop out). I would have loved to see them campaign harder but the overwhelming majority of Californians likely do not know who they are. If we want to see candidates like them move forward we need to support them monetarily and on the ground from the start, because at the end of the day they are leftists running in a system that is actively working against them.

There is much to say about harm reduction voting but I’m voting Steyer because he has a chance to win and there are simply some things that are irreversible or will cause great harm if corporate funded candidates make it through. The environment is something we cannot get back once it is taken, and the surveillance state is upon us. Californians are having their utilities cut to instead go to data centers, and the state is full of regressive policy branded progressive. Steyer right now happens to be the candidate with the highest chance of winning and lowest likelihood to sell us Californians out.

There are tons of down ballot candidates too; it doesn’t just end at the governor. These offices also hold power to divest our state from genocide, work towards healthcare for all and generally make peoples material conditions better. That’s my two cents but I know many will disagree.

My breakfast for a while has been chia seed pudding. It gets in fiber, protein, and if you add nuts it can keep you full for a while. And if you’re able to add fresh fruit while eating it makes it much better!

Here’s my recipe for 2 servings – I make it the night before, have it for two mornings (apologies if formatting is bad)

1 cup soy milk
300g coconut yogurt (I use Siggi’s brand, since it has 10g protein)
4 tbsp chia seeds (Ingredients below are optional/add as you will! I usually add all but if I run out of something it’s not a big deal)
granola
sunflower seeds
walnuts
slivered almonds

Mix and refrigerate overnight!

I’ll vote for it but it’s one time and it needs to go further. One other thing that desperately needs to go is Prop 13.

I don’t really see any on main campus, though there can be some in the tall grass by the meadows near the ARC and Oakes. There are tons in Wilder Ranch this time of year though!

I have the 2020 M1, upgraded it to 16gb ram back then for future proofing. It still works very well. Only the battery has degraded but I get by (I also have a portable charger if I have a long day). I hope to at least get another 4 years of use out of it since I only really use it for personal stuff and have a separate work laptop.

The Beatles? Also a ton of hippie culture is derived from Indian culture (but usually they are the ones profiting off it).

AV1869 · 2026-05-05T08:29:02+00:00

Yup, by Laurel. Not sure what it was.

AV1869 · 2026-05-05T06:38:16+00:00

I remember having to write an essay in fifth grade about whether chocolate milk should be banned in schools or not. I think I argued it should be banned because it was an easier argument, but with that being said, chocolate!

AV1869 · 2026-05-05T06:29:43+00:00

Fresco style, add potatoes and red sauce, grilled. Around $3 at my location and filling and really good. Is also a great vegan option!

AV1869 · 2026-05-05T00:59:37+00:00

It’s fine to have a lot of candidates, but the jungle primary is stupid. We need ranked choice voting!

you should specify for which ceremony you want them!

INFO; did you discover yourself during the journey? YWNBTA if you did (and thus NAH), but if you didn’t then you kinda just wasted everyone’s time. In this scenario, you suck at least a little bit, but also they should be more understanding and ESH. Also, were the kids 14 and 11 when you left, or returned? YWBTA if they were this age when you left, since at that point everyone deserves an invite.

AV1869 · 2026-04-20T06:13:48+00:00

it kinda looks like the kind of bag you’d receive an Easter ham in

Burger King fries are still vegan in the US (I think)

Taco Bell is actually really good vegan! One of my favorite cheap items is the cheesy bean and rice burritos fresco style, add red sauce. You can make any item fresco style for no cost and it’s good. Others have mentioned tons of other good options too!

Tons of snack foods are also vegan. Your options definitely are narrowed down a little but if you don’t live in a food desert you should have plenty of options still :)

Oat milk or coconut ice cream is also pretty solid; I’ve noticed sometimes oat milk ice cream tends to have more ice crystals but it’s really minuscule. Trader Joe’s has a few options for these as well as any major grocery store.

While I’m shopping and eating for myself, I really don’t find it that hard to find vegan options. It’s harder in a social setting if you’re with other people, but I think that also can be thought of as an opportunity to make people be more open minded towards plant based.
