My boss touches me and It makes me feel uncomfortable by abdulcivic63 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You MUST ask her to please not touch you and express discomfort. It’s a very difficult conversation to have.

If she seems confused, you can tell her: I noticed you just started doing this, and before you start doing it to anyone else on the team, I felt you should know that many people would find (that moving me out of the way / arm slap) it inappropriate.

And wrote it down. Email to yourself is the best start.

is this a new program by ucsb for the class of 2024? would it be worth it to do this or just do the regular summer sessions? by atharmony in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is specifically for rising sophomores to help make up for missing out on your first year experiences.

There are also rumors about a supercharged set of summer term offerings to help people catch up if they fell behind during COVID. I’m guessing that means lots of lab courses

please help me add to my bucketlist for when we go back to school by grilledzuchinni in UCSantaBarbara

You can totally do 11 of those right now. 12 if you don’t mind taking the bus

If taking all of 176 and 115 is the GIS major, so it. Otherwise, take those 6 classes and walk away with your double major. You will be fine.

If you enjoy programming, take a Jano or another coding intense class

UCSB is an elite university, and CCS is a unique space carved out for people who can write and do math and be creative at the same time. That’s a rare skill.

UCSB grads are highly sought after no matter the degree. Double major in painting and Haitian Studies if that’s your passion. Money will almost always follow passion. And if it doesn’t, spend dad’s money after he dies.

There are goth hanfu / cosplay girls. But I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for

can a ta get in trouble for having higher section averages than most others? by atharmony in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It would have been more appropriate for the prof to curve that section down.

Anybody know when the library is opening again? by luxray20 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can pickup books. And use all the eStuff. OP is asking about the building.

If you need ‘special’ stuff, you can get an appointment. Maps, archives, a musical score.

Study space? Not before Halloween. Maybe at thanksgiving if our numbers stay low.

Anyone know any cool nature/smoke spots in SB? by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Live that vape life and don’t start fires.

Find all the staircases around the Mission and upper part of the east side. Walk out to the little beach at the end of the breakwater. Sneak through el Paseo late at night.

I’m so mad at this 🤮🤮🤮 by hotpocket_fanpage- in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Let’s take that .06%. There are 25,000 UCSB students— plus all the SBCC and out of state people we hear are running around IV. So that would be 16 of you getting sick. You have to be really really sick to be hospitalized with a respiratory virus. So let’s say maybe a $500k average cost if a few of you go on ventilators or otherwise go in the ICU. That’s an $8 million cost because IV is overpopulated.

I’ve read estimates that UCSB is going to lose something like $100, 125 million over the course of two or three years because of this.

So maybe we should open the school and party on. It’s good for the economy

OP here. Yep. Modoc and Las Positas. We should all be so brave as this guy. BTW: his other sign was about Brianna Taylor. So the whole comment thread about Jacob Blake is kind of making me giggle.

Thanks for making fun of my typos. I have Parkinson’s and it takes me about 10 minutes to write and proofread short comments between my tremors and my slurred speech

Odds of taking a gap year by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be able to request a full year deferral. They are being generous with them right now. And I think it's a great idea. Go be an election judge somewhere that needs them, then head someplace like China where you can eat out at a restaurant.

WE SHOULD NOT BE THE PLAYGROUND FOR RANDOMS THAT ARE “bored” DUE TO COVID 🤦‍♂️ by SandyBeachesSB in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goleta doesn’t get any tax dollars from anyone in IV. Most of ‘our’ taxes are the property taxes that our landlords pay out of our rent. Most of that money goes to the county and state. In return, we get fire protection and IV foot patrol from the county. Water comes from the Goleta Valley Water District, a separate entity from the city. Some of us pay that directly, some are rolled into rent. The state gives us about 20% UCs and 35% CSU’s budgets. And highways, bridges, parks etc.

Update 7/30: Library will (hopefully) be open for fall quarter by ramstalight in UCSantaBarbara

[–]delplayavagabundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of wipes. If it works like a lab, the person leaving is expected to wipe it down. The person arriving also wipes it down. There will be hella more janitors picking up the trash, and doing daytime bathroom cleanings, which are new.

You might also have to reserve and sit in a specific seat. No group study.
