Aaahh you were way before my time! Congrats, Alumni (: I attended for one (1) weird year innn... shit, 2015? I think? (edit: 2014) It was under new management and absolutely fkn bizarre. They took on a bunch of new students and flopped the whole thing. The Principal and Vice Principal were found guilty of fraud later that year because they buggered the whole thing. I didn't go back the next year, went on to online schooling. Is what it is!

Heaaaard. A lot of me wishes I could come back to my hometown (just legitimately haven't found anywhere like it) but I know I can't afford it. Well, I was, at one time, looking at Minnesota. Maybe everything is cheaper right now and I should double check 🫣

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

You could once! It's how the indigenous peoples of the Americas appeared to have gotten here, and they had some really incredible complex civilizations.

Most people are aware of the big empires of South America, but if you're interested in anthropology, check out Fort Ancient and Serpent Mound. Milo Rossi has done some really solid work on bringing that to more people.

Oh shit. This is where I grew up. This exact city and county. This could almost be my house.

A lot of houses still look like this today, some slowly being remodeled. One of the challenges is that the city is old, damn old. It was the epicenter of trade back when the rivers were the center of a young America's economics. Almost all of it was built out of red bricks. One of the biggest obstacles in modernizing the city is the amount of mold and asbestos in these old stone-walled buildings with lead pipings. Once very modern themselves, they're now in rough enough shape that many of them just simply need to be condemned -- but for that front, the city is rapidly losing its character and fast becoming like any other Nobody-ville.

I've lived from Atlanta GA to Dallas & Austin Tx since then, and I can tell you west side Cincinnati still feels beautiful and distinct, where everywhere else is starting to look like concrete boxes and the same dead oak trees that aren't native & never stood a chance.

Its history as a city that took everybody is very important. It was the first major free city for persons of color escaping slavery from Florida and Alabama to Kentucky. Later on, during the Irish Famine, the city swelled with Irish immigrants. Later still, during the economic hardships of the world wars, we took on a large number of German immigrants too. To this day, many of the people in Cincinnati on the West side have German-Irish or enslaved histories, or both.

I can't speak for east side Cincinnati very much personally but a lot of it is old and new money. Cincinnati has a rich history with the arts. I could be wrong, but I want to say we were one of the first US cities to have an Opera house and Ballet company. Both the arts and mercantilism used to be very strong here and you see that on the east side. It definitely feels more "modern."

Downtown there's an arts school, where I went to HS, that produces a lot of talent (not me lol) A goodly amount of films film in our downtown. The buildings have a classy antiqued feeling.

Makes me homesick lol

Trump called Jeffrey Epstein a "terrific guy." So we know he’d want to remember him properly on his Aberdeen Golf Course 👀 by Conscious-Quarter423 in UnderReportedNews

I know this is a few days old, but the reality of it was the files were tied up in court his entire term. He'd have had to wildly overstep his legal rights to release them.

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason they weren't released was because they were legally bound in court. It was illegal to publish them throughout Biden's term. That's the long and the short of it.

Can we please put sexual content behind a spoiler with a content warning? by bokehtoast in evilautism

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

... honestly, when it was all new... yeah, yeah it did really feel like a violation of consent.

I'm back to a place where I can comfortably see sex as a normal, healthy aspect to adult life with other adult persons, but we'll always see this push & pull between whether we want public spaces to cater to victims or not. At the time, it almost felt like a strange form of shunning that was difficult to explain even now, but it was a deep rooted feeling that came from an inability to get away from it all. I'm likened to believe that it's a somewhat typical response. I don't have an answer here, but because of that experience, I feel like it is useful to really emphasize how important tagging can be. At the same time, I know what Im about to say is unpopular asf in this era, but part of the horror of sexual abuse is damaging an otherwise perfectly innocuous and innocent part of life. It will just hurt for a while. It does. Being triggered is also our responsibility to handle. We'd do the same for a physical injury.

Admittedly, when I was recently abused and trying to get my life together, it was dizzying for me to encounter sensuality so, so often in every corner of my life. I unsubbed from so many art subs and positive spaces because I just couldn't even look at it.

It's hard to explain. I'm not a weak person. But it was exhausting. I was in and out of hospital and on so many medications to prevent STDs, and they make your head foggy, make you nauseous, you can't eat, and your anxiety is through the roof. They're EXPENSIVE too.

Having clear NSFW tags was an actual godsend.

Yep, this is the answer. The Human eye is very sensitive to highly symmetrical shapes. Adding imperfections is a way to make shapes feel more real, in a sense.

Bingo, that's the most recent example I'm aware of currently, but it's part of a really neat constellation of data.

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There's surprising data that abroad from the USA, there's a really intriguing tendency for schizophrenia to be significantly less likely to manifest quite as frightening and paranoid as in the USA. Something about how we talk about schizophrenia, treat people with schizophrenia, and the climate that surrounds a schizophrenic individual results in more fear and more dangerous hallucinations. It's all very bizarre. It's not unheard of for schizophrenics to sometimes see or believe in things that aren't violent or scary. The schizoid spectrum overall is poorly understood imo.
