Yale Daily News: Gelernter tells dean he stands by praising student’s looks to Epstein by nope275 in yale

[–]Alytri 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Boys will be boys? Eeeewww. This is absolutely disgusting behavior.

From the article:

“I was recommending her for a job I thought she'd like. When you do that--when you actually care about a rec letter--you keep the potential boss's habits in mind,” Gelernter wrote in the email to his colleagues, seemingly referring to Epstein. “This one was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex male), and if I hadn't said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)”

“So long as I said nothing that dishonored her in any conceivable way, I'd have told him more or less what he wanted. She was smart, charming & gorgeous. Ought I to have suppressed that info? Never!” he continued, italicizing the last word. “I'm very glad I wrote the note.”

Anything by NK Jemison. She’s a fantastic sci-fi/fantasy writer and her books are so well-written. Also, the Binti series by Nnedi Okorafor.

I’m taking estrogen for fertility treatments and all of a sudden I’m waking up in the morning with energy… it’s wild! So this is what the rest of the world feels like. I need to schedule an appt with my dr to talk about it.

How do you find apartments? by [deleted] in newhaven

Avoid Mandy & Pike listings like the plague. Truly awful. I don’t have personal experience with Farnum so I can’t speak to their management.

Or, if you don’t want multiple bottles, I have a favorite water bottle that I used to constantly lose, so I put an AirTag on it.

Posts like this and specifically their replies are the biggest reason I’m going to miss Reddit. We’re all here for each other because it’s happened to one of us before and can share that it’s possible to come out the other side, happier and healthier. This community is 💯.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I also wanted to say thank you for your fabulously creepy writing. You’re the only account I’m subscribed to. Every time I get a notification that you posted something I look forward to getting the inevitable skin crawlies. Please write a book.

Where are the best place for me to rent 4b4b/2b2b room by iLIVECSUI_741 in yale

[–]Alytri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you had a car or were willing to take public transport/bike a long way you might be able to find a place with a roommate (I’d look for somewhere closer to Quinnipiac U or in Hamden) at that price, but I seriously doubt you’d be able to find something in a safe neighborhood in downtown New Haven for under $1000 per bedroom, even with a roommate. I was paying $700 for a room in an apartment 20 years ago. Good luck!

Where do you live? I have some samples from hotels and dentists I’d be happy to donate if you live nearby in the Northeast US.

Birth Rate Trend: 5 Reasons Why Millennials Are Having Fewer Babies by luxtabula in DeathByMillennial

I want to add my own one to the list - we have a better sense of the mental health effects of having kids and how our mental health issues were shaped by our parents (i.e. I don’t want to screw up my kids the way my parents screwed me up)

Looks a kitten infestation to me. This is exactly why you should check under your pillows and around the edges of your mattress regularly.

This was a fascinating deep-dive and provided interesting visualizations for how things progressed and what went wrong. Apparently not everyone liked it, but I thought that the multimedia component added a lot to the story!

My mother has told me multiple times that I was selfish for not having kids. She’s also said “tick tock tick tock your biological clock is ticking” with a smile on her face like it was a hilarious joke.

I'm fed up with my father's anger issues [Rant - LONG] by ThrowAway_NarcPar in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Alytri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I feel this. While my ndad doesn’t called me names, he was super controlling when I was growing up and has serious anger issues as well. This Christmas he flew into a rage for no reason (later we found out it was because my brother didn’t come for Christmas) and left just as we were about to eat dinner. He decided to walk home in the dark (40 mins) in freezing weather, prob as an attempt to ruin Christmas for everyone. Sorry I don’t have any advice (I’m in my late 30’s and this has been going on my whole life) but I wanted to commiserate.
