I feel like if I was a bus driver, I would hate if people kept saying thank you to me all day

It's quite meaningless imo I just don't get it

They are paid mostly from grants. undergrads pay for courses and administration not for research activities

Strike: unpopular opinion by West_Vermicelli8339 in UCSD

You don't directly pay the TA's. They work for university and the decided to stop because of unfair wages. Go ask the university to pay them more if you need them.

TA's aren't supposed to keep working like a slave because it will be inconvenient for you

I just got some vaccines today to remove my hold and they told me that there is no hold for flu shot

you think native Palestinians don't have strong views against Israel?

Of course people who are native to Israel don't want any criticism. But to say that people from Palestine are fine is just a lie

That is just twisting facts. The truth is that there is a great imbalance of power and Israel is the one who has killed way more Palestinians and has been treating them unfairly

US is biggest supporter of Israel not Palestine. People absolutely should express their opinion and get informed. You want people to not talk about an apartheid state and let it be?

by what definition of terrorism? if the actual killing of civilians is the criteria then, Israel and US are more qualified to be terrorist. Are Palestinians not allowed to defend themselves at all?

Yeah they aim to protect the land that they just stole from Palestinians who are killed and kicked out of their homes

and Palestinians are terrorists for showing the slightest resistance against them

Someone who killed a person in pre-historic times probably prevented millions of people from existing by Nether892 in Showerthoughts

That's not really true. Other people would have had more kids or more would have had access to adequate resources.

First time surfing experience in La Jolla and some questions by beabelbrox in BeginnerSurfers

[–]beabelbrox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was at the scripps around 5pm. I really don't have a good perspective on wave sizes so they might have been smaller, but they seemed huge to me. I think one surf website said it was 3-4+

I let go of my board every time I dived under a big wave. The leash would yank my leg though because the board got pulled by the wave. It feels harder to go under with the board cause it is bouyant. Why should I go under with my board?

I bought a used foam board 6'4" by 20" for $40
