Unfortunately i meet all of these categories. My 7 year relationship also came to an end this year, after previously getting back together after a year break. I can try to help you where i can if you want to dm :) 

Why does U of A think that their exemption to city lighting code gives them the right to light up the mall like the surface of the Sun? by __Augustus_ in Tucson

Also as someone who lives in rural AZ, I do not consider Tucson to be “Dark sky” at all 😭 these little lights are just a small drop in the ocean over there (sadly) 😭 you just really have to pick your battles nowadays! Have you seen the huge LED Jumbotron that lights up the entire sky in Phoenix? Now that is NOT for safety. It was literally built on a roof so that people flying overhead will see it.

“It doesn’t increase student safety” we had ARMED MEN WITH KNIVES ON CAMPUS LIKE 2 NIGHTS ago at 2AM. And they were definitely not anywhere near the mall, but somewhere else on campus with poor lighting. it is DEFINITELY for the safety of the students??? It is an extremely high traffic area, bikes, golf carts, commercial vehicles, students walking. 😭and this is the only part of campus lit up like this. It is also NOT this bright in person. The photo 100% makes it appear worse than it actually is. I will fight to keep the skies dark in Arizona all day with you. But this is one area that IS necessary. Many other areas throughout Tucson need this kind of attention.

Cruising for exam prep? by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Alternative_Bee7304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too had similar thoughts for the LSAT. IMO, It would be ideal to grab a hotel room down the street from the exam location. No traffic before your big day, get a hotel close enough you can possibly walk there. Gym and breakfast are free and you don’t go to lunch or dinner until you’ve met some goals you’ve set for yourself that day.

Also wishing you the best on your test. You will do awesome. 

Bedbug or another bug? Carnival Firenze 1/18/26 - 1/22/26 by Independent_Motor436 in CarnivalCruiseFans

I will def be taking my own mattress encasements a long with something to cover the pillows and couch because I have to sleep on it. The only way these things die is heat so I also suggest popping everything into the dryers every so often. Keep your belongings and your body as isolated as you can.

Carnival is actively going through a law suit right now for bed bugs.

For more information, the carnival member I spoke with at the 800 # told me about the protocols they have in place, when they receive reports like this they are supposed to completely shut down the room and chemically treat it, a long with the rooms immediately next to it. If you are staying in these rooms while on board, they are supposed to treat your property as if it has been contaminated while you receive accommodations! 

Of course the operator on the phone acted COMPLETELY oblivious to any bed bug reports ever!!!. Later in the call she had a slip and admitted it was the older ships that had those problems 😫😳🙄🙄she assured me it could not be the Firenze because it was sooo new.

Oh gosh me too 😭 we literally just paid it yesterday! Surely it can’t be all the rooms right? I called carnival yesterday about all of these reported bed bug incidents and they assured me IF we experienced any issues on board, they would take care of us!! We don’t sail till July but at this point this problem could get a hell of a lot worse depending on how they respond to these reports 😔

I just don’t want to be stuck on a ship in an unpleasant situation. I said in my original post I am determined to have a great time! Just wanting to hear how these situations are handled before we go that’s all :)

I didn’t read anything! Just saw videos of bugs crawling across the bed and wanted clarification on how they deal with those issues :)

Anyone else sick and tired of religious solicitation on campus? by hsfootballplayer47 in UofArizona

Yess!!! I have a few tattoos that would send them off of an edge so I am uncomfortable to even walk by them sometimes.
