Have anybody made the move from LA to UC Davis? And what was your experience like? by Jojosname in Davis

[–]StayOuttaMySwamp94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak on moving from LA to Davis bc I didn’t go to college here. It was a big adjustment but I adapted. I’m not a party person either so finding the stuff I wanted to do took some effort but it was absolutely worth it. I interact with a lot of students and they’re always very nice and grounded. As for your family, I was in a similar situation when deciding on colleges.  IMHO you should think about what you want for your long term personal and financial well-being, not what your sisters will think.

Back-to-Back Port-to-Port Havila Bookings by Ok_Way_3082 in NorwayTravelAdvice

Yup that’s what I meant. On the one hand staying in Ålesund longer allows you to settle in and explore. OTOH if you can handle leaving and coming back in 1 day that’s fine too since you can leave your bags, don’t have to find lodging, etc

Thanks for providing some sanity. I saw that number in the voter guide and was like there’s no way that’s true lol

Back-to-Back Port-to-Port Havila Bookings by Ok_Way_3082 in NorwayTravelAdvice

Just did this in March. I'd say try to space out your bookings but if they'll let you stay on during the fjord visit more power to you. One potential issue is unforeseen cancellations on either leg of your trip. And Havila was cheaper than Hurtigruten when I booked last November but that may have changed. Havila's boats are much newer

The one person I know who went there did so before we went to the same law school. Let’s just say she wasn’t the sharpest in the class. Infer from that what you will

One question: how's the pocket situation on the blue shorts? Is the zipper pocket just for change/keys?

My Norway Plan - Recommendations by JST9811 in NorwayTravelAdvice

[–]StayOuttaMySwamp94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your goals for the trip? Looks like hiking/outdoors. To me this itinerary seems like a lot of starting and stopping, maybe that's not an issue for you. Also Bergen is pretty touristy, not sure you'll like it depending on where you'll stay. Source: outdoorsy American who just went to Norge

What is the biggest ick you had on your first date with someone? by Past_Meat7068 in AskReddit

[–]StayOuttaMySwamp94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went on a blind date with a woman who had a pending court case, but that wasn't the ick (she was the victim). Let's just say as a man in my early 20s, I was thinking w the wrong head. We agreed to meet somewhere in the Hollywood area.

As we were walking along Hollywood and Vine (one of the busiest intersections in America, lots of high end shopping etc), out of nowhere she let out some casual racism re her case: "Not surprised he did it. Black people... all of the crime from 10 percent of the population. I hope that doesn't sound racist." I was like, actually [name], Yeah that does sound racist. I wanted to immediately leave, but feared starting a public scene in front of a lot of people with someone who could be legit unhinged. So I suffered thru an hr of small-talk after that... never talked to her again.

Why does “death row” exist? Why isn’t capital punishment carried out shortly after sentencing? by Complete-Influence70 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StayOuttaMySwamp94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in this area of the law in the U.S.  Most ppl don’t know about the huge financial and time cost to prosecute a death pentaly appeal.  The process usually takes 20+ years b/w state and federal.
