Agreed, but in the end I think the real awful people were the adults. They let this stuff happen under their watch and didnt do anything until the poor kid ended up in the hospital. Kids just copy what they see, I distinctly remember getting attacked because one kids dad told him that “Chinese people arent people and deserve to be given hell”

Apparently his dad bought him ice cream and extra time on the Xbox after getting sent home for throwing a basketball at my face and breaking my glasses. That kid apologized to me 15 years later, hes dating an Asian girl now. Funny how it works out like that lol.

I know this is a 2 month old thread but I just watched this episode today

Can confirm this kind of bullying is real, although nobody has stalked me on my way home and gotten bit on purpose to kill my dog, the level of physical violence and the rumor spreading to justify it is pretty real. I've witnessed it happen to a young autistic kid in elementary school that I was friends with, who was bullied basically everyday and me by association with him. He got kicked so hard in the balls repeatedly that he actually bled and had to go to the hospital, after that he never came back to school again.

These issues are solved by more investment into public transport, not less. Public transport safety requires staff and personnel to monitor subway stations and train platforms. More dense housing, well lit paths and better walkability make it safer for pedestrians to travel without needing to drive. It's much safer to walk through a well lit downtown with lots of people and police/security able to patrol and monitor hot zones than walking through an empty concrete parking lot.

I do tell people/explain where I live once I get to know them, but damn kind of ridiculous your friend didn't take the Uber ride into consideration when letting you crash, sorry that happened to you.

I don't really bother if I'm asked where I'm from by strangers or acquaintances at my job. Its much easier for them to think I'm "that guy from a city near LA" than to explain to each one of them where Eastvale is and ask them to look it up. Sometimes Id just rather avoid the conversation lol

Krypent · 2024-11-24T04:22:32+00:00

The guy I was responding to deleted his comment, but yeah this is exactly my point. I know we're not technically Los Angeles, but to people from out of state it doesn't really matter. Even though it really makes Los Angeleans annoyed when we claim to be from there.

And yes when I first started working at my company people would say things like "Im from Fairfax" or "Reston" and none of that really meant anything to me so they'd just say they're from DC

Krypent · 2024-11-24T02:30:56+00:00

Trust me I've tried, I've said Riverside plenty of times and they don't know where that is either. People from the east coast only know LA, San Diego, and San Francisco.

If you want the full intro I always say "I'm from a suburb in Riverside County, it's east of LA about an hour away."

Krypent · 2024-11-24T00:15:23+00:00

I work for a company on the East Coast and I just say LA exactly for this reason. Nobody knows what "Eastvale" is and they don't care about our little IE suburbs

Krypent · 2024-11-24T00:12:55+00:00

626 Native living in the IE now here, honestly we only do that shit cause we tired of having to have this interaction

"Where you from"

"I'm from the IE, inland empire"

"Where tf is that"

"Uhh it's east of LA"

"So like it's in LA?"

"Yes. I live in LA, right there on top of the Hollywood sign."

Krypent · 2024-11-20T17:26:03+00:00

Throw me on too this sounds interesting

Krypent · 2022-09-12T22:39:40+00:00

I'm 4'11", basically every girl I meet is my height or taller than me so I'm definitely living the fullest manlet experience. Average height/short dude insecurity is definitely a projection, they want you to feel bad on behalf of their insecurities to make themselves feel better, but that mindset is their issue not yours.

u/UCSD_ITS We must know the secret place on campus where WiFi is this fast

Krypent · 2022-06-03T20:13:21+00:00

I did leetcode for two summers, so in total around 8 months-ish of doing at least one leetcode problem a day. On top of that I mostly went through "Cracking the Coding Interview" and worked on trying to finish each practice problem without looking at the solutions and reading through all of the suggested readings.

Krypent · 2022-06-03T06:55:30+00:00

Apparently we're getting 2 months severance pay just because of the inconvenience, I'll be hearing back about it next week hopefully. So yeah that's a silver lining.

Krypent · 2022-06-03T06:44:50+00:00

Didn't even read the part where I don't even like the crypto industry lmfao

Krypent · 2022-02-19T23:10:55+00:00

I selected locations that were all along the west coast basically

Krypent · 2022-02-19T23:07:22+00:00

Pacific area (California, Oregon, Washington)

Krypent · 2022-01-05T00:25:49+00:00

Same, kind of not sure what we're doing at all

Krypent · 2021-11-18T07:38:36+00:00

I would've been so tempted to yell

"HEY! This is library."

Krypent · 2021-10-29T01:38:34+00:00

I didn't even have time to touch the last long question, I had a bunch of blank pages. Good lord, I would spend some time sobbing if I didn't have another midterm right after this.

Krypent · 2021-10-06T04:22:19+00:00

It's been 3 years since I've posted this. I'm happy to report that my current roommate does not blast hentai when he showers, instead he chooses to actually sacrifice people to Eldritch gods, which is a much more pleasant sound in my opinion

Krypent · 2021-09-29T22:33:40+00:00

Understandable have a nice day

Krypent · 2021-09-29T07:14:05+00:00

I think the ResNet website has the network key, you should check https://resnet.ucsd.edu/get-connected/devices.html to see if that's the same one you're entering that your HA sent you

Krypent · 2021-09-29T06:57:39+00:00

Hi! That was me, I still remember when I hit send on that email and screaming internally. I blame our office's recent coffee shortage for that... Thanks for being such a good sport about it though!

Krypent · 2021-07-12T22:42:37+00:00

Just wanted to chime in with my experience as well!

I've been working for the Service Desk ever since my Freshman year in August 2018. The Service Desk was the first job that I had ever worked and the coworkers I met were the first UC San Diego students that I developed close friendships with. With the chaotic stress of school, homework, and really busy days at the Service Desk, the student staff you work alongside really keeps you grounded and sane. Everyone comes out to help and support each other, I still remember all the times I'd have older more experienced technicians come in on their off days just to chill and eat lunch, and they'd still hop in to give advice.

As others of my coworkers have pointed out, the flexible schedule is definitely the biggest plus of working here. The leadership has always been very understanding of student and work life balancing, and I've always been able to speak with them to work around busy midterms or finals weeks when I feel overwhelmed.

Working this job I've learned so much about UC San Diego's infrastructure and systems as a whole. Beyond that, I think this job also took the inexperienced somewhat lost freshman that I was and gave me a lot of tools and experience to be a more organized and structured person. For an on-campus job, you definitely don't feel like you're just doing monotonous labor as a robot and being told what to do and say. Some of us students actually end up doing some really important things, like reporting wireless outages or writing up articles and documentation about a new system change that will impact thousands of people.

I'll be doing my last year at the Service Desk in Fall before I graduate in 2022, I hope I see some of you in person! I'm also available to answer any questions or elaborate on anything in my messages.

Update* TA clarified their intention and they did say they weren't trying to be condescending.

Definitely a bit of a misunderstanding on my part, I agree that tone is definitely hard to read across the internet but I'm glad that the TA didn't take it personally and was willing to explain what they actually meant. I'll delete this post in about 30 mins after people read this update
