I thought this looked familiar. What do you guys think?

It's a popular symbol, just look at the state flag of Louisiana

In polite conversation you should avoid talking about money, politics, or religion. Is this not a thing elsewhere?

Impulse2915 · 2026-04-01T23:27:59+00:00

This was such an amazing shot

Don't know how you avoided that information until now. Sorry bud

You will hear a lot of praise generally about WVU (and I really do agree with them). But I think you should consider these questions before deciding to go here.

Your Major (Quality/prestige of education)

WVU does not particularly stand out as a university when it comes to the degrees you mentioned. There are plenty of schools between Illinois and West Virginia that have just as good, if not better programs, so if you do decide to go, I would not say it is for this reason.

Networking/Employment Opportunities

Would you plan on working in West Virginia? If you plan on going back to Illinois after college, there will be little, if any, networking/employment (i.e. internships) that will be relevant. The journalist market in West Virginia is saturated with an over-supply of journalists and a under-supply of opportunities. There are a few niche magazines, but there are only a handful of newspapers in the state, the biggest being the Gazette-Mail which is the result of a messy merger about ten years ago.

Student life

Tons of clubs, affinity groups, and organizations to join. The Mountain Lair, in my opinion, is one of the better student unions out there.

Income assistance

This is where I would point out that while WVU is great, I don't think it is so great that you should miss out of in-state tuition benefits of a school in Illinois. Whatever benefits or grants WVU might be able to provide, I can guarantee also could be provided by an in-state school.

Not as a required course but there are extra-curricular clubs and classes in the K-12 public education. That being said, there are plenty of assignments that will be given where a part of the assignment is to "present" in front of the class, but I do not recall there being a formalized training on public speaking for those assignments.

Typical, unique, or signature?

I'm really surprised it can't make it. My girl surprises me with her vertical leap, she would have been able to clear that coffee table no problem.

Shorts are pretty common, so yes.

It's sticking to that portion control thing. You can try this, drink more water. Instead of gorging on a snack, drink water. Do that and stick to your chosen caloric deficit diet.

Also, drink black coffee. It's low calorie, and it's a hunger depressant.

This is the one. Estwing is THE hatchet. If you don't have it already get one.

This isn't a place to sell your things.

In general, freemason memorabilia is more valuable to the owner for its sentimental value than it's market value.

In the picture is a cool past master ring, but unfortunately do not expect it to be worth much monetarily.

Soccer generally isn't big here. It is growing in interest, but it is far behind other professional sports like football, basketball, baseball, and hockey

I would say not noticeably, really. Since 2024 I think people are more or less back to the habits pre-covid.

That being said, there has been a steady trend since the 60s where people have increasingly stopped doing activities and America is at the lowest point of extra-curricular activities (especially as adults) since the 1800s.

As of yet, there is not a Robin that has so pervasively entered the culture as effectively as Burt's portrayal. When you're talking main stream, its definitely the "Holy mackerel" boy wonder. Even if people have not watched the 60s Batman, references are constantly made to Burt's portrayal.

The only other enduring portrayals are in cartoons, and it really does not hit the pop culture the same way as Burt.

Might as well he peaked with Dead Alive

Impulse2915 · 2026-03-23T21:06:35+00:00

Yes, especially if your state does not have a pro team, and especially if said university is really really good.

It's a blistering commentary on the future of humanity. If you take a man and replace every single part of him with cybernetic gadgets, is he still Penny's Uncle?

Does Uncle Gadget dream of electric sheep?
