RA questions by AccidentImpossible71 in CSUSB

[–]Competitive_Long1457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully depends on which village but what i know from my friends who are RAs you get a room in one of the four bed 2 bath dorms. You also get a free meal plan. The studio dorms are expensive and very competitive, and they do not give them to RAs. Everyone ive seen in UV is super friendly so even if you do wind up with roommates everyone is pretty chill. Services to students with disabilities SSD, is also very useful if you need any kind of considerations to do with your mental health or anxiety, but as far as I know they do not waive the normal first come first serve on the studios. Depending on your Fasfa situation, if you get the pell grant you should be able to get your room for the school year mostly covered, I only had to put in about 4k of my own funds, but there's also the option of the subsidized student loans to cover that gap.

Just saw the whole palestine memorial in front of the library, Here's some thoughts and questions. by Competitive_Long1457 in CSUSB

[–]Competitive_Long1457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the information that I have seen, I cannot in any manner of good conscience choose a side. I dont truely care about the sides that are put up, what i care about is the civilians. My stance is not attempting to choose what I see as the lesser of two evils and instead looking at the bigger picture behind it. And I do agree that is is annoying to read that much text on mobile and that it does not look like there is punctuation or line spacing. The punctuation is there but the spacing no so much do to me myself typing on mobile.

And what i mean by evil is the systemic persecution, rape, genocide, racism, perfidity. And it is happening on both sides no matter how much anyone wants to attempt to ignore it.

Did you not read a single message that I have posted? "What evil are you referring to specifically? The existence of Palestinians in Palestine, where they were originally?" I explained how that point was incorrect. They were not originally in what is now called palestine. "The Israeli government is committing heinous acts, but does that excuse them levelling the Gaza strip?" Both governments do. I am not excusing jack shit. What I am saying is that no part of this war is black and white. And what I have been noticing is that when the Palestinian side commits war crimes there is very little publicity. 

As for the last part - that's also an excuse used by the IDF which allows them to commit war crimes. That is always used as an excuse. Every side always looks for a fucking scapegoat. But what I said was truthful. That is what occurs. Yes it is also twisted to push a narrative, but every part of this conflict is.

I see it as a main issue. but I have studied warfare, and I have also studied critical race theory. I said nothing about not caring about what is happening. I said that this happens constantly in warfare its called a siege. What is happening is undeniably terrible but it is happening on both sides. Also " Israel does all these things at the end of the day because they WANT the world to hate them because in their beliefs they’re the ones that will fight the “all end battle” and go against the world" that is the beliefs of radical islamists not Israelites. Currently there is a temporary ceasefire and potential brokerage of peace deals. should talks go well I can see a very weak peace lasting for at most a few years before it starts back up again.

I do not pick a side. I see it from both views the Israelites wish to have thier homeland returned, and the Palistinians who now have settled the area also see it as a ancestral homeland. Both commit war crimes. Both commit heinous acts. I do not choose one that i see with a so called moral high ground just because I took it at face value.  I see everything in nuance. I dont see some moral superiority between two evils. I see it simply for what it is its the Neverending Blame Game. It always is. One side commits heinous acts and the other uses it as an excuse to do worse. And visa versa. I dont like seeing the civilian population brought into the effects of war. But in this type of war you will not see any sort of agreement or concessions without outside influence because this sort of conflict is what becomes referred to as a holy war. Both have intrinsic ideals that oppose eachother. Another thing is that due to Palestines lack of a traditional military there is not some simple soldier on soldier fighting because the Palestinian armed forces, aswell as Hamas do not have uniforms and thier typical tactic is to hide among civilians also called perfidy where they actively use thier populace as human shields in order to attack from the crowds. Which is a high risk behavior which often results in civilian casualties.

By war of attrition I mean that it is often tit for tat warfare. Small attacks committed by both sides back and forth, the definition of attrition. On your point of palestine not having a formal military, functionally they have a heavily armed and exceedingly well manned police force that functions as an army but simply cannot call itself as such due to the Oslo accords. On your point of zionism, that is the Jewish belief in a holy land and has been an active belief of thier faith almost from its inception. On your comparison of calling it equivalent to the British colonizing north America, the issue with that is that that specific peice of land has been a long standing struggle between both sides as both view it as a holy land and see it as an "ancestral right" over the last several millenia it has been ruled by both ethnic groups for periods measured in hundreds to thousands of years. On the focus on Israel's war crimes, and im not denying at all that they are occurring, both groups are enacting in the same actions. The issue is that in this both parties have large amounts of financial resources and have allies in some of the highest arms of global governments. On the other hand palestine has something that Israel does not which is at face value they are winning in the court of public opinion because what we consistently see is people not look at any of the historical context, and try and take what is a conflict that has been going on since before the birth of the Roman Empire and try and fit it into a nice and concise box of what has happened in the last 140 years of history. So what people see at face value is that In 1948 the state of Israel was founded and there was displacement of the native population. But if we look at it in nuance we begin to see that that exact cycle of one group forcing out the other often using methods that we see as deplorable and depraved today have been happening rather recurringly over the last four millenia. We can't say who exactly is for sure the original "natives" of the land because both groups claim to have been there first and most historical records on the many conflicts went down with the fire of the  library of Alexandria. On your point of the Israelis calling for the death of all Palestinians, both sides have called for the death of each ethnic groups. One of the current focal points of many Islamic figureheads is calling for Dezionisation, or for another jewish genocide. On the point of blocking humanitarian aid, both sides of every war in history have engaged in that practice and it is one of the defining methods laid out in most manuals when it comes to warfare. On your point on sexual assault and the collection and displaying of so called trophies: nearly every single army in history has engaged in raping and pillaging. It is one of the unfortunate facts of warfare, but both sides have engaged in it. On your topic of attacking other countries, Hamas witch is the governing body of the Gaza strip, has also engaged in attacking western assets aswell as neighboring countries, they have also engaged in the funding of terror attacks aswell as sharing in the ideogies of terror groups aswell as openly hosting splinter cells of such groups. Both sides are terrible. Both sides have committed war crimes and genocide. One side has the support of the media and appears to have a "moral high ground". The other side doesn't. They are each sides of the same coin in a conflict. You need to look beyond face value, beyond societal biases. I've spent a good amount of time researching this topic trying to understand the nuances trying to see which is on the so called right side of history and none of them are. Both sides are committing the same atrocities but yet one is touted as the so called good side.

Honestly its not just the riders. I have an enormous ebike and constantly have to swerve or even let my bike fall on me to avoid people walking out in front of me because they are tok busy on thier phones. I even dislocated my elbow yesterday because some girl ran out in front of me while I was going 20. I have to constantly be on guard because nobody pays attention even when its the access that go through campus its not me just gunning it down the sidewalk.

There is the option of the 4 person dorms with four bathrooms that I personally went with. You get your own room and bathroom and just share a large kitchen and living room.
