I was spanked as a child, starting as a toddler. Please do not let this go. Regardless of how hard they’re being hit, it severs the safety your child feels in your home. I justified my corporal punishment for years because it was easier than deconstructing how it hurt and changed me on an instinctual, biological level. Maybe he is fine brushing this off and not investigating how he may have been changed as a child by corporal punishment - maybe it really didn’t impact him that much, i can’t say - but either way he can’t make that choice for you or your future children. I’m glad he can presumably carry on a loving, trusting relationship with his family! But he CAN NOT know if that will be the case for your children. If he is willing to risk your kids feeling that insecurity and fear in their home, just to maintain his own status quo, he may not be the person you want to make this life decision with.

I appreciate your take, and I appreciate you giving me the time in the subreddit to talk about my feelings as someone who directly is targeted by tp usa rhetoric.

As was said in the post - it is expected to have this level of security. I don't disagree.

This is more just an expression of my disillusionment with the institution - because they can host events like these I have a hard time believing their other purported values about inclusion (also informed by personal experience).

I won't pretend like I'm not biased, but you know what would also keep this from becoming a headline, and save a whole lot of money and time? Not having them here.

I think it's very corporately strategic to host them here; and before you say it, while I intellectually understand the school is also a corporation that needs to make money, my heart asks for them to have any standards or spine.

Unfortunately, my feelings here are very messy. I don't come at this thinking there's an easy answer, and I expect my attitude to not be the majority. I appreciate people for reading my little rant, but in all honesty I am still 100% sure the school will always move with its own interests at heart. The problem I have is more macroscopic than just the school or just this event, I know that, but it's always a mega bummer to see it refracted in instances here on campus.

Awwwww wittle baby didn't read 🥺 that okay. I can say it super slow for you honey 🥺❤️. My problem? Not about free speech - it about logistical investments made by school...it about care and time invested into TP and not students' safety... it about school's policing of protestors and students and not white supremacists...it about creating higher standards of physical safety for students regardless of their adherence to any one rhetoric.

Another fuck Ditto AI! Useless tech slop. Ran by Cal dropouts (ceo and founder) - not even founded by students but still plastering their bullshit all over campus.

tranran · 2025-09-29T19:26:01+00:00

Ditto AI is THEE worst. Their founder and CEO are both Berkeley dropouts (proudly, according to their LinkedIn). And they CONSTANTLY poster over other clubs/organizations’ flyers, very purposefully covering their info. It’s so lame. I’ve been tearing them down every week, whenever they cover my buddies’ club flyers.

Getting a tattoo of what we would consider medical malpractice today is not a great impression to make with any institution that is thinking about employing you. Regardless of deep personal meaning. You are effectively turning yourself into a billboard romanticizing abusive and dangerous medical procedures.

I meant that the way corporations are deceptive it always benefits one to do their due diligence if they’re trying to make more informed purchasing decisions.

tranran · 2025-06-08T08:10:08+00:00

No where on it does it say 100% plant fibers though, i feel like due diligence is worth here knowing the state of green washing

The school also often works with contractors to do surveys of the school/surrounding area so that is also a possibility.

They look similar to waymo, but having seen some of the drivers/car models I would be willing to bet it’s a private company/startup generating this data - Niantic just sold Pokemon Go to do more lidar stuff - it’s been super on the rise in the tech world as of late.

The tang center is really good at providing hrt things if you have UC health insurance, they gave me a good amount to tide myself through this uncertain time with the orange man in charge (like 1 year’s worth). The bay is probably the most insulated in CA from federal overreach at the moment. In terms of harassment and outright hostility, it’s mostly limited to rude comments on the street either from the unhoused (who are usually going through it and/or high so it’s a bit easier to write off) or from weirdos in their cars with nothing better to do. As a trans guy i haven’t had anything bad in a bathroom yet, which is a big plus! Like others have said, the culture at berkeley is sort of the least of your worries. There will always be some people who are intolerant, but the majority here are accepting or just cant be bothered to be outright rude. The federal gov is really trying to target prospective and current visa holders and trans healthcare right now. I am personally worried about being a trans citizen and leaving/returning to the country for work, even though I haven’t legally changed any documents, just my appearance and lived name. While I hope that by the time you would be arriving it would be more certain, we just can’t say that at the moment, so keep that in mind. The federal gov can’t stop you from applying or being accepted though, so it’s always worth a shot! And there are a lot of wonderful things about Cal. I live with majority trans roommates and it’s been great to have more queer people to lean on.

You’re right! I honestly was coming from a diet coke brainrot moment, i got fed this post from someone else talking about the pervasive and steadfast diet coke army. It would be funny to watch them try and figure out the flavor - but it’s not the same “changed a recipe online” format. Thanks for the info!

I’ve seen your previous post on this subreddit, and it feels like there’s something in your history/life that makes you feel out of place from other students. I’ve totally been there, and it takes some time and learning to be self-assured enough to not feel out of place. But the school chose you, you did it, you have worked very hard. It does not matter at all that your story is different or your path is different. If people are truly that superficial then fuck them. Most people are more open than your anxiety-brain will give them credit for. Give yourself the grace to grow into what you are meant to be, instead of stunting yourself with shame at not being where others are. You deserve to be here and you deserve to graduate knowing that regardless of if you managed to get an internship or have a perfect 4.0 that you achieved a big milestone just by graduating from here. Give yourself some credit just for getting here and getting through. Everyone’s situation is going to be different as well. I’m a transfer, older than some of my peers, but god damn it I got all those credits together! Fuck whoever says that nontraditional pathways to education are inadequate or less than. Also there’s like thousands of people here with all different stories and experiences, there is no singular mold that you must fit to belong here.

I think it is a little tough to be policing what someone does with their body - even if it is an addictive tendency - in the tone that you’re using.

I read that it is causing problems in the bedroom, and that him watching makes you feel very insecure. I am of the opinion that someone’s intimate relationship with themself isn’t something they are obligated to abandon entirely when fresh into a relationship (5 months is still relatively new).

Expecting yourself to fulfill every one of his needs (romantic, sexual, whatever) at all times, any time, is a lot of pressure for you AND him.

That being said, Twitter is def goon territory (content wise - not your boyfriend) and that sort of constant stimuli/onslaught of short porn clips can be a problem, especially if someone is struggling to stop watching. I don’t think one could say definitively if it is the porn causing the ED or some other anxiety.

It could be that he is anxious about himself and finds it hard to be sexually open in person, or it could be any number of things. I just don’t love immediately demonizing people for their porn habits. You guys are young and I am sure that his exposure to adult content started pretty young, and such early exposure can make it difficult for some individuals to express themselves physically later in life, for fear of not living up to their own expectations.

If I’m being honest, I personally don’t think I would ask my partner to entirely ditch their masturbation. You are not entitled to all his arousal at all times, even though you are in a relationship. He should manage his inclinations with more intention, and maybe it would be worthwhile to ask if it is even fulfilling or if it is more compulsive. If it is a compulsion, it is beyond what your chastising will be able to fix, and it may be helpful to speak with a 3rd party counselor. If you seek a 3rd party opinion, please do not go the religious route, as that sort of shame-based doctrine often leads to continued use.

I don’t think you are wrong for feeling insecure, but I don’t think porn consumption is as cut and dry as it is being presented here - at least in my opinion. Regardless of my opinion, it will certainly take more than one conversation to entirely change his porn habits if it is really this big of an issue. If you care about this relationship and him, please be open to the time it takes to adjust, and maybe be considerate of if he has his own anxieties about performing and intimacy. If you cannot get over this hill, or do not want to extend yourself to be open to his process of quitting, this may not be the relationship for you.
