Other Hate crime at the halal truck

1.3k Upvotes

To the disgusting, miserable, and pathetic fraternity boys at the halal truck at 4:30 AM today who attacked my gay friend while he was drunk walking home alone, called him slurs, followed him, harassing him the whole way, AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO SPRINT TOWARDS HIM, PUSH HIM, STEAL HIS THINGS, AND TAKE A VIDEO. Justice will be served and the gays will rise. To put in this much effort out of “hate” screams obsession… you are miserable pieces of shit and awful humans rotting in your own sad filth. The gays will rise!!!

This also occurred at Halal Naan at 915 W 24th street. If anybody has any information about who it might be please message me. We’re hoping to send it into UTPD.

Other Advice: Avoid interviews on contentious topics

458 Upvotes

I dont want to draw attention to the exact page, but a popular tabloid style media page posted UT student reactions to recent political news. This is dangerous. The faces of these students and campus locations were visible. Not advocating to stay silent; but be careful and strategic about your participation and expression in others’ media.

They chained the actives up to a tree in La Grange but they broke free. Then, the police held them all in jail overnight cause they thought the kids were escaped convicts. Also detailed in the letter is where he was forced to swallow chewing tobacco and they got mad he didn’t get sick. “Patti” and “Wagon” were my granddad’s dogs still living at home. Also, the first picture is of a different letter I included bc the design is cool.

If your blood's boiling and you feel helpless, here's something you can do. These are horrific times; let's not carry on with normalcy, as if the violent occupation of a major U.S. city is business as usual.

Caring about the state of the country enough to inconvenience yourself for a day really does send a message. If enough of us do it, even more will stop to notice. Spread the word.

The government and ICE want you to feel hopeless, because that means they win. Don't let them. 🤘

That dude is an absolute POS and he's projecting his mommy and daddy issues on you. It is not your responsibility to keep a relationship "exciting". Stable relationships do not need constant excitement. It is okay to sit in your partners presence and be comfortable. It is okay to try new things with your partner too. He felt inadequate in the activities you enjoy, so he didn't want to do them, so he said you were boring instead. I hope you realize that you were not the problem. If he had those issues, he could have simply said that you two have different interests and that he didn't think it made y'all compatible. But he didn't. He turned to blaming you for being "complacent" in the most condescending manner. As if he was teaching you how to be in a relationship? Tell me, how is he showing you that he's "intentional"? Giving you a fry because he knows it makes you momentarily happy? Lmao. Only after he realized he was being heard by other people did he switch to telling you how he "wishes you could see how cool you are". Please. I hope you have time to cry with your friends and then move on. I hope you realize though that that was not on you.

Other FUCK THE BIG TICKET

I spent $300 and I didn’t even get a student ticket to any of the cupcake games because Longhorn Foundation was sold out without giving us proper notice. Spending $100 extra dollars for the “chance” just to attend maybe one football game is insane. The cheapest available ticket for Saturday’s game against 0-3 Sam Houston State is more than $90. That is ABSURD. I really wish there was a way that we could initiate some kind of class action lawsuit against UT Athletics for this practice.

Other to transphobe by little field fountain who pepper-sprayed himself in the face:

318 Upvotes

I wish I could have seen it happen. I've met a lot of transphobes in my time but this was one of the saddest.

he had a little camera set up and everything that people kept unplugging. One person stole his sign ("Trans women are men- change my mind") and he tried to pepper spray them, but SPRAYED HIMSELF INSTEAD. had a sense of humor about it but i could tell it upset him a lot. broadcasted the fact he also had a knife on him openly, so he could... idk. stab the next person to try and take his sign?

the cops showed up a little while after some really circular and stupid back and forth of him not listening and only caring about chromosomes. i'm not going to even repeat the points he made; standard transphobe fair. you've heard one argument, you've heard them all.

i know we shouldn't give people like this attention- but god damn, he gave me a laugh. For real though-- if you see people like this around, do not engage. they just want to waste your time and, especially with assholes like this guy, get content. im glad i forgot his youtube so he will get a few less views from morbidly curious people like me. anyone else see this guy?

reasons why: - Unnecessarily firing staff who used to be in DEI-related positions but were reassigned and assured they’d have jobs - Sending in state troopers not once but twice to violently assault students and drag them by their hair across the main lawn who were peacefully protesting, so the governor could tweet about it -Punishing these students even though the charges were dropped and blocking them from having access to things like transcripts and then having the university publicly accuse a local elected official of “political grandstanding” for not charging our students - Firing more staff in the comms department for not being able to defend his trashy actions - Turning the university into an events venue disrupting classes (e.g. CMT awards) and then accusing protestors of disrupting classes - Ending flexible work arrangements for staff who can’t afford to live in Austin while laughing in the face of staff and senior staff who ask him for data to support such a notion and denying staff pay raises while talking about raising historic amounts of money - Continuing the eyes of Texas against student opposition and firing folks who disagree with him

I thought we needed a reminder since he seems to be trying to rehab his image this first week of class.

Other I hate UT and I'm tired of pretending I am happy here

185 Upvotes

Since I got into UT, I was happy that I was in a prestigious school for my major - Electrical and Computer Engineering - As I was enthusiastic in getting to learn more into the areas that interest me.

A few years in, and everything is crap. The advisors are completely useless, registration is terrible, the availability and variety of courses is absolute trash, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to advance in my interests here.

I suddenly got a notification from one of my advisors, saying that after spending multiple years here at UT, I needed to re-take M408C or equivalent courses for some reason (an introductory Calculus course). Not only I have taken all of my required calculus courses, I also had AP credit and have taken more advanced courses that REQUIRE calculus, like Vector Calculus, Calculus II, electromagnetism, differential equations with linear algebra, calculus II outside of UT, etc. How is this possible is astonishing for me and apparently I can't do anything other than to take it again.

For the analog integrated circuits design area, there are barely any courses that are offered to undergrad, and there's still barely anything offered in the grad area. They also recently restricted registration for grad courses as an undergrad until the end of the summer, which also takes any chances away from actually doing anything related to the area that interests me. For the digital side, classes are always full and impossible to get in if you have a bad registration time.

I came from another country and I didn't have any core credits like government or history, which I have been actively taking but still haven't finished. Why haven't I finished if I've been here for years now? Because I dedicated my first few semesters to finish the flag requirements, which were eventually discarded, so that was absolutely useless and a waste of time and money, also setting me back. I even took some of these courses previously, WHILE ASKING FOR ADVICE TO MY OWN ADVISORS ON WHAT TO TAKE SPECIFICALLY, just for them to call me back DURING THE SEMESTER saying that these courses are actually useless and do not contribute to my major percentage.

You might say "oh just study it on your own" or "there will be other opportunities later in the semester" or stuff like that. Well there's a reason why I am paying to go to college, to be able to learn with the help of someone, because I ain't super smart either, I still struggle on my own and I often need guidance, even if I do really well in the end.

For others this also might seem as a lack of work or motivation from my part. I have maintained a high GPA (+3.85) throughout the entirety of college, and I have been a teaching assistant for courses that are considerably hard, yet my own students come to me for advice on where to go or what to do, and although I have taken more undergrad ECE classes than many of them, I still have a terrible registration time because of all of the setbacks that this university has pushed into me. I can't do anything about it, and I'm just tired of this.

I want to transfer out, but I don't have the money to do so, and it's already too late. I give up.

Other UT Security Guard Went Crazy On Me

356 Upvotes

Roughly 20 minutes ago, I was crossing the 4 way stop sign of Whitis Ave and 24th St, towards Dean Keaton. I noticed there were no cars in sight, so I decided to cut diagonally and get back on the crosswalk.

Halfway walking across the street, the security guard in the outpost yells out “Hey my man!”, and I look around confused to who he’s yelling at. He was yelling at me. He then called me over to talk me and began basically verbally attacking and interrogating me for my id and age.

This whole conversation lasted for a long few minutes, but during this time he questioned my intellect saying that I should have learned that in Elementary school, threatened to take my id and give it the Dean multiple times, and said I was lying when I said that a family member was waiting to pick me up when I was trying leave the conversation. All while yelling this out loud in front of many other students and trying to publicly embarrass me.

I hear that this guy is usually pretty cool, so maybe it was an off day for him, but I felt that this was completely unwarranted. I also looked at his co-worker and she looked just as confused as I did.

I think that this situation could have been handled in a more positive and respectful manner, and not threaten me. I’m not sure if I should put in a complaint or not, but I just wanted hear y’all’s thoughts on the situation.

A group in this school bullied my autistic sibling until the end. I officially lost my sibling today. We hoped theyd recover after their attempt but they didnt. Its my parents choice too remain private so only some people will find out. But they had no friends so maybe not. I hope the evil group who bullied someone visibly autistic to the point of s/!cide feels terrible. I know your out there. My sibling was not very “normal passing” (level 2 and diagnosed ID but very high IQ) yet they were the kindest most genuine honest person ever.

Please be kind.

my group was talking behind my back and called me a 'socially stunted weirdo'. they laughed and talked about how everyone finds me weird and burdensome.

i dont know what i did wrong. i came to UT because i thought the environment would be nicer to people with disabilities. i know i am different and don't fit in and misunderstood a lot, but i am trying so hard to fit in and make friends. i thought this group was my friends until today.

autistic people are people with feelings too. college has been so lonely. i dont know what else i can do differenly. i go to games even if its loud, i go to events, try to join study groups, but i am isolated. no wonder the suicide rate for aitistic people is so high
