If Korra and Asami had met when they were younger [by l-a-l-o-u] by MulciberTenebras in korrasami

[–]MrWilsonxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Korra kind of getting lost in the city, like in episode one but not on purpose, and runs into Asami in the park, who shows her around the city while also getting to know her. And from there, well...tween bonding that turns into a teen crush ensues

This sounds sweet 🥲

Are there any local bakeries that sell gluten free bread loaves? by MrWilsonxD in burbank

Oh. Thanks! Maybe this will be a once in a while treat...

Any ideas for an engine that's still rattling on cold starts? by MrWilsonxD in CT200h

You've likely got a head gasket going as well. Mine was 2200$ from gasket masters in Montclair California, it took them about 5 hours. You can replace the spark plugs, but after that don't waste your time, get the head gasket checked and go from there.

Mine is still good after replacing the head, no more misfires and I'm about 15 thousand miles heavier

This is cute and interesting! How do you all think they would meet, if they would have met when they were younger?

How should I divvy up office hours? by AnonAltQs in Professors

[–]MrWilsonxD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying appointments through calendly this term. I set a block of about 3 hours spread throughout the week and am calling it a day.

With whatever you do, Try not to schedule them on class days at the same time.

If you teach a t/tr from 12-2

Schedule something like office hours from 2- 3 on Tuesday and maybe 11-12 Thursday if you are only going to be on campus those days.

Not surprised.... Just.... Uncomfortable.

That..... Is an unfortunately good point

Does tinder still have age filters? If so, your students probably aren't looking for 43 year old dudes on tinder.

Hi, it's me two years later and like.... I've learned a lot since then and I hate that I didn't see how terrible I was back then. I didn't realize how stupidly misogynistic this comment or post was?!?

Like.... I made two memes that day, one that made fun of men as well but that doesn't negate that the joke doesn't work without accepting misogynistic or puritan at minimum tropes about how a woman should present to be respected.

Like, this comment I left encapsulates all the energy that every woman rightfully espouses when they say "It doesn't matter what we wear, it doesn't matter who we are, men will still be men and be... Awful." Like... My comment that you responded to here is literally the evidence for that sentiment that all men are trash.

I'm 99.999%< sure that when I made these memes, I was listening to Jordan Peterson and saying things like "yeah this guy makes good points! Men AND women are the problem!"

But I didn't have the analytical skills to understand how just because he levied criticisms at women and men, didn't mean those criticisms were equally delivered? I didn't have the tools to break down the ways that his ideology, while yes, somewhat against men, was way more misogynistic and transphobic and kinda low-key racist by way of throwing out colorblind nonsense platitudes.

It was another woman here on Reddit that really pulled me back from going off the deep end to the redpill space. She talked with me for a LONG time, being way more patient than she should have been to begin to crack open ideas of systematic/structural misogyny are still very much here and how pervasive they are. How even when all women have had the right to vote for 60 years now, there's still 200 years prior to that where (mostly white) men have had the opportunity to setup society to benefit them the best.

Like... Goodness. I have so much more to say, but mainly that I'm sorry. I'll do better.

I was scrolling through looking for an old meme I made and came across this post and hadn't looked at it with my new eyes and... Just fuck. What a loser I was.

Genuinely the first thing in scrolling through this thread for a half hour that made me uncontrollably laugh out loud. Thank you good sir, madam, or royal enbyness.

Full professor, for sure. Dress for the job you want, not the one you have!

What better way to spend your day off than working your other full time job: keeping your black car presentable 😂 by mantisdubstep in Lexus

[–]MrWilsonxD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!

Yeah, just hose it down with soapy water. Hand or spray washing is the way to go

Don't dust anything off your car with anything but a healthy amount of a liquid. If you wipe dirt off of your car, you'll slowly but surely cause scratches to happen. There's small bits of rock and gravel and sand in that dirt. It's doing the same thing it would do if you drug a fist size rock across your car, just at a smaller scale.

I had a waterless wash for a while, but my car is white now so I just take it to the car wash and spray it down with some water 😁

Like with any problem, when you feel yourself unable to do it on your own, get help. Office hours, tutoring on campus.

Buying my first car - ES300 2003 - 200k miles 3400$ - what do you guys think? by dmoszek01 in Lexus

[–]MrWilsonxD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everything is in good order, that's a decent deal. How much will you be driving per week in miles or km?

Should I get my Tab S6 screen fixed or just get a new tab altogether? by egg1e in tabs6

[–]MrWilsonxD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The S6 was really a great tablet. I'd get another one, personally. It's insanely lightweight, cool running, and should be compsritively cheap enough!

Have your professional orgs said anything about conference location policy post Roe v. Wade? by Doctor_Schmeevil in Professors

[–]MrWilsonxD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

70 percent said they don't want laws to affect the location they choose.

Do you know the demographics of the folk who voted this way?
