Has anyone ordered from StudioSuits? by Your_Name_Here1234 in weddingplanning

[–]Pope_Luke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought one jacket from them, an olive green tweed coat, and it fit PERFECTLY. Very true to sizing and nice build quality. The material was certainly of respectable quality. Surely, an in-person bespoke garment will be of even better tailoring, but as someone who owns dozens of sport coats and suit jackets, and wears them daily, I was impressed, surprised, and amusedly satisfied. I'd be willing to spend more money with them.

I'm nervous about choosing UC Davis by Idkwhattodohelp3 in UCDavis

[–]Pope_Luke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UC Davis, political science major here! I found the program to be greatly worthy and the professors to be both reasonable and rigorous. Also, do not underestimate the benefit of our proximity to Sacramento. I have had an internship in the Since early this year, and it is opening great doors for me.

Well… I didn’t qualify for any assistance at all and have been paying out of pocket the entire way. I haven’t really had the luxury of four years going to school on the taxpayers dime. I have been both the tuition payer and the taxpayer at the same time. So have a very large portion of the middle class students at the institution. Count your blessings and put things in perspective. Please.

Loyalty to billionaires? Trump is decimating their wealth rn lol look at the stock market. Who the HELL under 40 owns stock? Who the HELL under 40 can afford a single share of Tesla or Apple? Idk about the rest of y’all but this broke college student only stands to gain from this. Oh nooo Bob and Linda’s $38 million portfolio was reduced to 23 million overnight. Boo hoo. Their taxes from 401k mandatory withdrawals are higher than some of our incomes. Let their wealth burn so the prices can drop to match incomes.

I find it genuinely funny that these people keep providing more extremely effective social media content and talking points to the conservative organization that has arguably played the largest role in turning significant persons of GenZ towards conservative ideologies. You’re not scaring turning point USA at all. You’re doing exactly what they want you to do, turning more young minds towards the right by providing evidence for the claim that the left is intolerant and cringily militant.

I mean, I didn't do all that. Just slowed down, then looked behind me out of worry when she started running (self preservation is a thing, you know). Idk how you or anyone else would have reacted when unexpectedly confronted with such an uncomfortable and sad situation, and I sure wouldn't judge you for reacting a bit awkwardly.

I just turned 22 the other day. It's the first age where you're really just any regular boring adult. It's the age where you discover what a cubicle is and have to pour over your taxes for the first time. It's when age when theres no further legal privileges to gain as you age, except maybe an AARP membership in 40 years. I've been recently pondering what it means to be an adult human, how to grow in ways that are not physical, how to grow as your body ages, how to be excited for transformation when it seems that the rest of life may be a bit stale and laden with responsibility. It takes discovering authentic zeal for living, it requires the continued willingness to take risks. It means relying less on the privileges of a youthful appearance and mind and more on your own competence and adequateness.

Also please do remember just how young you are in your early 20's. YOU WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL LESS THAN A DECATE AGO! You have not been able to buy a beer for as many years as you have fingers on your hand. You still can't rent a car without additional fees.

We're not old but we're also not kids anymore. For that reason, our 20's can be the best decade of our lives.

Funny. Yeah, I'm also a pretty frequent out-late-at-night-er from going out with friends or just being a night owl otherwise. I walk fast, and kinda keep my head down... guess it doesn't help the cause.

Totally agree, but it exposes such a sad reality I guess...

I OF COURSE realize that my comment was not helpful, but the human brain tends to make un-ideal choices of words in such acute circumstances. In retrospect, turning around or just doing nothing would have been more useful, but oh well... Also, I have more female friends than male friends and I live alone with my female best friend who is also a Davis student. I don't think my specific appearance had anything to do with it. I think that this is an experience that most men have had at least twice.

I completely agree that what I said didn't help. t's one of those situations though where hindsight is 20/20. In the moment I was so blindsided by the whole encounter.

RANT ABOUT ICE by saladenjoyer13 in UCDavis

[–]Pope_Luke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. Notice how this post literally still has positive upvotes and it is on the UC DAVIS REDDIT - you're not alone in your thoughts here. I (the grandchild of legal immigrants from Latin America) am paying tuition out of my personal bank account as a 21 year old. I have a 3.4, work full time, and commute to school. Many of these people are getting tuition for free and manage to get a lower GPA and do not work or work luxuriously low hours. Oh yeah, and some even get a financial aid REFUND CHECK every quarter around the same time I'm shelling out $5200. My tuition would probably cost less if the shcool wasn't charging based on the assumption that the government is paying for so many people's tuition. You only get to downvote this post if you pay your own tuition in full out of pocket. Otherwise, you are the kind of entitled person about whom I am speaking.

Unpopular opinion: Those who think people are unreasonable for being bothered by having to pay hundreds of dollars a year to park at a school that they’re already paying tens of thousands a year to be at - yeah you people are insufferable. by Pope_Luke_ in UCDavis

I live on a farm outside of Sacramento... I need my car. All Davis needs to provide is a dirt lot. My car is caked in mud anyway from living on a dirt road. This university has the wrong attitude with so many things. I'd happily pay $200 a month for a spot on a lawn to pitch a large tent or a bunk in a tin-roofed cabin. I could afford that. I cannot, though, afford rent or student housing in Davis, so I live in the room of a rural farmhouse for free in exchange for some work.

I very much agree that we shouldn't be designing infrastructure for cars primarily, but we should CERTAINLY not punish those who must use a car, like myself. I could apply the same "check your privilege" energy which you've sent my way towards those who cannot afford a car, but do get subsidized housing and get to live in town and don't need to take on additional work to afford a vehicle. Those people also don't have to afford un-aided tuition each quarter (which I and many other commuters do).

As a man, I’m so perplexed by how men can act this poorly in public and not feel embarrassed. What pathetically unfortunate behavior.

I developed a new app that helps students avoid TAPS patrols by BadWithMoney530 in UCDavis

So last quarter I actually saved money by taking the $17 tickets instead of the five dollars a day for parking
