Yah! One of my favorites was Bloodstains on r/nosleep. The creator(s) put a ton of work into it, finding relevant news stories and photographs, making videos, creating and using multiple accounts before ever pulling them into the story in the comments... I haven’t seen anyone use the internet capacity for that kind of…

When I’m talking to my friends who are musicians and entertainers, I say, ‘If—if—we have a socialistic government, if we have Marxism, you are going to be the first ones who will be cut off because the state would have to approve your music.’

I love horror movies but don’t put much stock in the supernatural, and I reckon most people, like me, assumed this was a fun story with perhaps some earnest believers clinging on.

The school? No. The administration? Maybe.

Windchill is right. This is a self-inflicted wound following a series of self-inflicted wounds caused by an ancient system established under white supremacy. BoT screwed the pooch, but it’s students who will feel the harm.

I’m curious about what she’ll do when she’s free. With the internet detailing every bit of this information, it seems like the story will hang over her, even if she’s penitent and reformed. Does she change her name?

They’ve also got the GIANT radio telescope there in the foothills that a lot of scientists use, although I think they have an agreement model that allows VPN access.

State travel can affect university employees too. We (NC) are on California’s no-fly list because of the bathroom bill from several years back, and it can make it hard for our fellow researchers to come here for conferences/project meetings.

There’s going to be a vote on Wednesday to see if Hannah-Jones gets tenure. The University has gotten a lot of flak, between this asinine stunting and the whole Silent Sam thing that they may actually decide to back down. Here’s hoping.

Also I hope that response doesn’t look like garbage. Kinja is a fuck.

I don’t disagree with your assessment that men will benefit too, but I might also add that many crashes occur close to home, so mileage, while a good indicator of the likelihood of a crash occurring, isn’t the only indicator of risk.

Oh, for sure. I don’t disagree with you. It would be nice if these kinds of messages were framed in more universal values rather than a specific appeal to his view of gender roles.

He chose a shitty and sexist way to pitch the bill, but women do bear a lot of the brunt of our poor transportation system. There are more licensed women than men, and according to the National Household Travel Survey, women aged 18+ make more person trips than men.

That wouldn’t surprise me, especially given the way housing costs have risen in the last decade.

Years ago, Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman found that most people would be extremely happy if they could make just $60,000 a year, with his study finding declines in happiness above that. I’m not sure (but I would guess) that number has gone up with inflation, but it certainly speaks to the fact that the vast…

A friend’s GF (in her 30s) got sucked into some kind of yoga sex cult led by an extremely charismatic guy in his 60s. Cult leaders have an almost preternatural ability for finding vulnerabilities and manipulating them to make you feel deeply cared about while they simultaneously isolate you from your actual support…

Gimme that buttshole cut, Netflix.

In Nandor Voice: Fuck-ing guy!

I discovered during the pandemic that I get sick every single time I eat zucchini, so I have to avoid it now. It’s a shame because I loved using shredded zucchini in veggie burritos.

That’s probably the best apology of its genre I’ve seen and certainly comes across as sincere. Good on her.
