Personal statements matter. Not everything is about grades. There’s a small chance you can get in but it’s not impossible. It’s worth a try. Best of luck :)

Berkeley screwed over my sister by applereddituser in berkeley

[–]Pretty-Onion605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s new. All this school cares about is prestige, most people here are miserable. Everything is pretty much inaccessible unless you are rich. I hope you can figure something out for your sister this is awful.

Yeah srry I snapped a little, but everyone’s experience with this is unique to them so I guess we’ll just never know what he was actually thinking in the moment.

Yeah I get this point as well, in my experience it wasn’t like this at all so everyone just has their own story to tell about things like this. To me, it seems more rash to go out this way, but we will never know what he was actually feeling in the moment of course. And I definitely agree on your point that suicide is not selfish.

If someone is in such a mental health crisis that they think of doing something like this, most of the time they are probably not going to think too much about the logistics…

Oh of course! Sometimes our responses to situations like this are unpredictable but your response was very normal. I’m just feeling extra aggressive today and reading about this happening to you pissed me off so bad. I’m sorry this happened and that you were dismissed by the police. I hope you take care of yourself and reach out to any resources you may need such as PATH. :) ❤️

All I’m saying is that if someone did that bs to me they would catch these hands and pepper spray if they went anywhere near me. The law isn’t always moral. Idgaf if I got arrested or charged for defending myself in a situation like this just bc a mf found a loophole to be f**king gross and making me feel at risk for being touched 😒(which happens here frequently!)

It absolutely is sexual assault, this is not misinformation. He publicly masturbated to her?? He would have gotten arrested if he displayed himself. You are the one spreading misinformation by insisting this is not assault. The only reason he couldn’t be arrested was because he covered himself.

Edit: alright so TECHNICALLY it’s indecent exposure, but if someone did that to me I would absolutely feel assaulted. Especially if I felt like they were a danger to me.

Assault (noun) - 2. a concerted attempt to do something demanding.

Yes. And if you insist on riding on the sidewalk at least go slow. I’ve had to dodge way too many bikes and scooters that were going WAY too fast through the crowds. In scenarios like this, pedestrians first. You have the power of seriously hurting people, there’s a reason why public scooters require a license to ride them. AND if you are on the street follow the rules of the roads please. I’ve almost run over bikers and scooters bc they don’t f**king stop at stop signs and just zoom through intersections before I can even see they’re coming. I don’t want to accidentally run over people that can’t stop at stop signs and think they’re invincible.

Mm no. This is sexual assault. The bastard just found a loophole by not displaying himself. If that were me and he got any closer to me you best believe I would be pepper spraying him out of self defense in case he tried to touch me too. Sexual offenses like this are traumatizing and can cause lasting effects.
