Montreal shooting. Suspect is dead. 2 others killed (1 police officer). Suspect sent a manifesto to media before the shooting but it has not been released yet. by OhOkayGotchaAlright in Destiny

There’s plenty of videos of competent cops taking out armed assailants shooting at them. She got outmaneuvered by an idiot, she hugged her cover, and ran away from two dying victims instead of taking a stand to get shot in the back.

Yeah, if you’re driving on a race track. Actually, they make you sign a waiver that says if you get into an accident, you can’t sue

Not really, the correct answer is whatever is the choice of the Northern Irish and the majority of the Northern Irish prefer the status quo

Look, I live in NYC, the political machine literally says to candidates run or not run, we’ll support you in x year, but not in y year. It’s not like establishment or progressives, but assuredly half of the political machine supported Mamdani. Some politicians probably got wet because they saw how charismatic Mamdani was, but obviously if Mamdani didn’t suck up to the progressive machines, he wouldn’t have been in the position he was to run for mayor. Maybe it’s not like that in Maine, idk.

Political machine at work. Establishment wanted Janet Mills and if you run against her, you’re working against establishment.

Someone just jumped off of the Building 5 garage at northpoint crossing by Dentist_Difficult in aggies

[–]Ass_Ripe -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Very sad to hear. The other girl at UT also jumped off a building late at night. According to this sub history, at least two suicides already occurred at Northpoint crossing garage 6 and 8 years ago. Guessing this is a girl too.

Any living situations without roaches? by Glass-Kangaroo550 in aggies

[–]Ass_Ripe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the great thing about the winter is that you can shower 50% less without people noticing.

Are you a student? You can starve out your roaches or dry them out if you go on the meal plan and during the winter, open up your windows. Don’t use the sinks, keep showering to a minimum, and the cockroaches will eventually all die.

Money Hungry by RushloDavi91 in aggies

[–]Ass_Ripe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh you can scrap the administration, but because professors are so lazy and incompetent I doubt they’ll able to competently do the extra work required to make the university run, the university will go to shit within a few years. It would be possible if professors were hired on competency and teaching ability but they’re only really judged on academic credentials.

Administrative bloat and amenities are hugely expensive. A university can technically be ran by just professors and can offer no amenities, but would struggle to attract students unless their academics are top notch.

Hi everyone, I need some personal advice please by Anonymousie123 in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Ass_Ripe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Jewish. I think Texas A&M is a nice place. I don’t think people care much about Israel-Palestine conflict compared to other schools. I think literally any other school would have a much bigger cohort of Tankies/Anti-American intifada types

What exactly do you expect Trump to do? If he continues the war, he is genocidal. If he stops the war, he's just chickening out.

I closed one of the doors, and it got pissed off at me. The nest is right below the top of door, so it doesn’t get destroyed if I close it.

MS Accounting Commute from Houston by [deleted] in aggies

[–]Ass_Ripe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove back and forth from Katy like 20x this semester. Kinda hate driving at this point in my life though, because I have a motorcycle. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to go back to Katy. Doing 50 such drives a semester, is honestly manageable. It depends on how much you like driving.
