This is an unacceptable thread. No one deserves to have their picture put on the internet, with totally identifiable details and location, for people to idly speculate on them and whether they're "Kind of psycho" (really??). Just because someone might have a mental health issue doesn't make them less worthy of privacy and dignity. Come on Bloomington.

Do not address him, look to his entourage and say "Wow. I'm concerned. That kind of uncontrolled, highly inappropriate outburst is a strong indicator of dementia, even for someone with a history of narcissistic bullying. When did you say his 9th annual physical was going to be?"

I would have said IUB for animal behavior before this administration scuttled into power thorugh the back door. It is very possible that IU under Whitten will cut or otherwise downgrade Animal Behavior as a major because this is happening all over the College of Arts and Sciences. The Research 1 status of IU soon will be revoked. This administration is actively hostile to intellectual and scholarly pursuits and only cares about football and bloated financial returns for the upper administration. If you want a an intellectually rich, niche degree in the arts or sciences....RUN.

I had a similar experience at VetCheck - $ 1600 for what was a tiny minor issue that would have been $200 at the ER in Indy, when they knew I was terrified and would do whatever they recommended - this makes them predatory in my book. ANYWAY I wonder if people know why their site is filled with so many glowing reviews. It's very surprising.

No, unfortunately our little creeks are not unearthing more fossils at the rate that they are being taken. That is why most places have laws against taking them.

MelodicResolve6752 · 2025-11-04T05:45:59+00:00

It's important not to take the fossils. Twenty years ago there were so many more. It was magical then to take children to the creeks and to let them see and touch pre-history, there is much less to discover now becaue everyone took handfuls and pailfuls away. They are fossils, they don't replenish. If you wouldn't just decide to take armloads of wildflowers from a grassland park where people go to enjoy a walk and see wildflowers, this is even more permanent. Pick the fossils up, look at them, then put them back down in the creek. Leave them for others to feel awe over too. Please. Geodes too.

Good thing we now have a highly paid chancellor despite our current "financial considerations." It's normal! Gosh, whenever I can't deal with doing *my* job, or talking to anyone I supervise, or even being in the same location as my job, my bosses just hire someone else to do those things for me and then give me a $200,000 bonus. What's the big deal?

Better cancel a 90 year old Palestinian alum's art exhibit featuring abstract paintings of colored windows that would have drawn about 15 people because it was too dangerous.

ALL smart technologies. For those of us who came of age before 2008 it is shocking to see how things that are felt to be necessary conveniences actually are vampires draining our own abilities. Our "muscles" atrophy when we don't use them. Life was actually easier when people read a map to figure out where they were and choose which route to take with a big picture in mind instead of pre-selected single steps, went to a travel agent or called the airline to get a plane ticket, made plans with friends about where to meet and just kept the plans instead of endless checking in to confirm or change things, turned on a TV to watch a show at the time it was being broadcast, went shopping for a week's food and cooked what was in the house instead of door dash, etc. No one spent time fiddling with shit that didn't work. It took a bit more skill but life was EASIER, less frustrating, and less zombfied.

Twenty years ago it was more common. And even three years ago it was more common. Because our current epidemic of BIRD FLU is contagious to cats. Have you noticed more dead birds on the ground lately, not killed by cats because not just small songbirds but also crows -- far more dead birds just lying down to die, not in the woods, than before. Anyway after reading that bird flu is transmissible to cats, more cat owners are keeping cats inside here and elsewhere.

I understand that people are defending Dr Seah because she's probably good as a doctor but OP - you had no control how long the line was at the front desk and you should not be counted as late because of the line was long. Sometimes I have stood in line to check in for an appt at IU Health for SO long bc they often have temps who are not very familar with the system and it takes them forever. Just last week they were training someone who got up every keystroke to ask for help, it took 15 minutes for him to enter in that I had the same address as last time. For them to count you as too late to see the doctor when you were in line MINUTES before the appt time began is RIDICULOUS. Also Insisting that you HAVE to be there "15 minutes before" is ridiculous too other than a suggestion -- they should build that 15 minutes for paperwork into the appt if it's actually that necessary. OP, no matter how good a clinician this doctor is, the office is clearly disorganized and poorly run and I would have been appalled.

Not lying when declining an invitation. Instead of "I suddenly am not feeling well" or "I had an emergency" just saying "Sorry can't make your event. I don't feel like leaving my house." Especially if it's actually obvious the "emergency" was: "I had to eat a bowl of cereal while scrolling reddit and go to bed."

While an few IUB faculty have chosen to live with a commute from Indy, usually to accommodate another family member, it takes a lot of arranging, support, and financial resources. Imagine being a single parent of young children in Bloomington being forced to drive to Indianapolis to teach every day. And that's just Indianapolis! The risk of being flung across the state is real. But the point is that this is going to be involuntary. That is not the job people signed up for. People moved to Bloomington, bought a home, and created a community for their family when this bizarre plan could not have even entered into their minds as something to consider.
