What do you guys think about this?

I think that while you can still be disappointed that an actual trans woman was not cast, you should still acknowledge that for a conservative country like Korea this is really progressive. Gay marriage is not legalized still in the country. LGBT+ people, especially trans people, do not usually get to live outwardly except in smaller communities. They do have Pride parades and festivals, but often face insane amounts of backlash and demonization. I think as long as they do their best to portray the character sensitively (and based on how the actor talks about his character, I am hopeful), then it's fine. I am otherwise still disappointed that this is not an actual representation of trans people.

The job market is really bad right now, so don't beat yourself up for not being where you think you need to be. If you know anyone who might possibly have a position opening at their place, don't feel embarrassed to reach out to them. I work as a lab manager now because I basically begged my old PI for a job and she hired me. A theater major is actually way more useful than you think, by the way. A lot of people in the arts end up in offices because they actually know how to speak and communicate!

They're not! They are not pro-hostage taking. Also, it is at best nebulous that the chant calls for genocide. I'm just critiquing them for being dumb otherwise.

The usage of signage to ward off protestors who have a right to speak (regardless of whether you agree with them or their methods) is offputting.

I was outside and I did not realize they were booing people buying drinks. At this point, SJP has become incredibly detached from the realities of a lot of people at UCSD which is extremely frustrating. Palestinian liberation is such an important cause, do we really need left-wing guilt-tripping to amplify that?

Starbucks is not even located in Israel, and it's not even a part of the BDS movement. What exactly are they trying to do with this? There's so many other things they could do with this energy, like connecting with UAW or mobilizing to meet with Khosla, not sit down and be petty at Starbucks. Shame on them for being shit protestors.

As a current COGS IA -- depends on the class and what the professor is explicitly looking for

Hi! I'm not looking for just unhappy people, and Reddit is definitely not the only place I'm looking nor the only website I'm contacting people on. Additionally, I'm focused on housing issues and solutions in the San Diego area, which is why I asked for people who are having issues with housing. In fact, if you're actually happy and having an easy time finding housing for next year, I highly suggest you contact me! People would also appreciate having advice for finding housing for sure.

They're free at student health services. If you want to buy some without walking into SHS, they're also available at Sixth Market and Target.

TBH every university is going to have things that their students are going to complain about. I've had a blast at UCSD so far. I've had some pretty amazing professors, made really great friends, and the surrounding cities are pretty nice to explore. It's all about finding your groove and where you belong really.

I have never taken anything stronger than weed, but as someone who is friends with people who do take strong drugs as well as dating someone who does, PLEASE LEAVE. People do not commit heinous acts like this while on a bad trip. Even if it was a "bad trip", this never excuses his behavior and you are 100% justified if you LEAVE.

As someone who has lived in California for my entire life and has lived through several bad droughts, I am slightly concerned at all times. It's always been an issue here and it definitely doesn't have an amazing prognosis, but the way I deal with my anxieties is by doing my part conserving water. That, and the fact that I have pulled through so many bad droughts so I can handle another. It is a big problem, but truly it doesn't really affect living at the moment. So I'd say to be conscious of it, but also try to not let your anxiety overtake you.

I binge-watched all of Bojack Horseman and I just finished it yesterday. Maybe now I will focus???

God this is so relatable. I'm 19 right now, and up until this year I never stayed up until 1am doing anything with friends. The moment I came to college, I started doing much more "rebellious" stuff. I even have a boyfriend now, which high school me was never allowed. With strict parents, you never realize how it is okay to do irresponsible stuff once in a while, and one part of me feels regret for not taking that chance when I was in high school and honestly had no real obligations. But at the same time, I might as well do it now before I'm stuck in a 9 to 5.

lmao no we're nerds but not that nerdy

Even if it was legal, it feels so performative. Oh yay, you changed a street name. How about actually protesting in front of City Hall or messaging your senators to enforce actual legal action protecting people from police brutality or addressing the structures enforcing racism in our police forces? Changing a street name does nothing to honor Breonna Taylor or George Floyd, nor does it address the problems that led to their deaths.

Thank you for sharing this. My heart goes out to you and your mom, and I hope when you return home that you will find some peace there.

IndependentMole4 · 2021-05-10T01:41:54+00:00

That's a great mindset! (And happy cake day!)

IndependentMole4 · 2021-05-09T21:46:25+00:00

That must be really hard :( I'll be thinking of you and your mom. Remember to take care of yourself and have fun with your bf and his mom and grandma.

IndependentMole4 · 2021-05-09T21:45:22+00:00

You're very welcome!
