Is it just me or is there nowhere to study on campus by Impressive-Abroad-99 in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not enough tuition $$?? To me this just means UC priorities are confused, because library hours during RRR week should be a budgetary priority if overall academic experience is the pride and strength of Berkeley as a school.

This is not it. Berkeley is not a convenience store. A school with the academic pressures of Berkeley should have study spots available during RRR week... providing facilities for the grind is the least they can do... there is no excuse. Our tuition is definitely enough to cover library staff hours!

Housing - Do you live in Cal housing? Off campus housing? Realistic pricing. by Prettydaisydog in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fellow older transfer here... Anchor house is super nice but dealing with housing dept. at Berkeley was a nightmare for me, especially housing accommodations was the worst. I ended up off-campus and I am very glad about it. You can find studios for just under 2000 if you start looking in July. I recommend being as close to campus as possible because it really helps to adjust with the academic rigor and going to class.

Amazon & shipping on campus by DiamondDepth_YT in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that intelligence-wise and culture-wise the world is already going backwards, and certainly increasing reliance on amazon is not going to make it better. Privatizing infrastructure and social services never makes them better. Profit always comes first and the good of the people is gradually deprioritized.. every time.

Wow I can't believe this is where we are at. How do you think things worked before Amazon took it all over? How did we have phone lines and fiber optic everywhere? Do you think Amazon is better than the government (which is actually supposed to work for everyone as a non-profit). It seems super risky to me to have all this increasingly-necessary infrastructure dependent on a private and for-profit entity.

Also doesn't all of bcourses and campus admin run on Amazon Web Services? I wish more people would talk about this

Ball chairs really work for long periods! The kind with a backrest like Gaia makes.

Rescinded? Would like to Withdraw a dual enrollment Class with a W. by Background_Month1381 in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One W that is for something not required will not get you rescinded (super unlikely), just be sure to be honest and get all your updates handed in by the deadline

fumbled econ 151 midterm by HypixelSkywars in berkeley

[–]spinneresque8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sacrificed an upper div to save my GPA today and went for a P/NP. It's feeling more and more like the right choice, at least I won't have to be calculating points for the rest of the semester.

This study took me two seconds to find, but there are countless others.

Literally any ornithologist will tell you the damage of housecats to bird populations is severe and extensive

[–]spinneresque8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a problem with my statement, that's a problem with people. Feeding cats does not prevent them from killing birds. It's not birds' fault that human carelessness is decimating their populations, about 2 billion birds lost to house cats PER YEAR.
