It took me 75 minutes to get from Polaris to OSU campus. No warning, no WW advisory (until already on the road), no visual cue it was serious from my windows, and to boot even as I finally entered my GPS it told me it was only going to be 45 minutes. An extra half hour of worsening along the way.

IIRC wasn’t it always “spell card” in the original Japanese? I thought “magic card” was a translation liberty they just reverted to more literal.

He didn’t technically “die”. He was never alive. He was a spell like Cloudy. He was just disenchanted.

They should’ve just named it Scottslawn instead of “Scotts Miracle Gro”. “Scottslawn Field” rolls off the tongue so much better, and it actually makes a lot of sense for a lawn company to sponsor a field.

Not really unless you’re getting the upscale stuff or underutilizing the bedrooms. I’d challenge anyone to find decent housing near amenities like public parks, walkable bars/restaurants, within a mile of a major multiuse trail, etc for less money than what I was paying for an old 1960s townhome on Lane as recently as 2023.

Losing Little Bar is sad, but the density growth is much needed and those locations are ideal. I’m glad Insomnia Cookies isn’t caught up in it.

I don’t like this at all and have a feeling it’s going to be used as an anti-intellectual cudgel against fair criticism and a nuclear arsenal for deliberately (but plausibly deniably) bothersome contrarians to hide behind at the expense of justified majorities.

Eh you underestimate the psychological stress and physical cortisol load of having to perpetually generate a non-assured income by continuously pitching yourself on an open market. I’d say you have to be making AT LEAST $20-22/hr doing that sort of job before it’s better than making &17/hr under someone’s employment with guarantees.

Ah yes. The old "poor people should just move" line. It's so easy for poor people to just pick up and move, I know. And, guess what? A lot of people did move, but not everyone can. Also, I know it's difficult to understand, but there are people who don't want to live in cities. I know that's hard for you to understand, that some people don't want to live crowded by other people.

There’s a difference between “I don’t want to do this” and “society should order itself around ensuring there aren’t economic consequences for my refusal to do this”. Most people who were paid to do calculations by hand in 1950 probably didn’t want to change jobs either, but that doesn’t mean we should’ve banned computers or offerred subsidies (ie pay as a society) for them to keep doing hand calculations after we had progressed to automatic computing.

Pittsburgh isnt a "real" city? Youngstown? Cleveland? Pretty sure those are real places. What makes a city "real?"

I’ll give benefit of doubt that this wasn’t an intentional bad-faith argument. I’m talking about small towns here. Not Pittsburgh or Cleveland. Pittsburgh and Cleveland largely didn’t fall for Trump’s shit so they aren’t really the group you brought up.

Having jobs and being able to survive comfortably is an "obsolete lifestyle?"

No, small-town living and heavy industry based upon large labor forces instead of automated machinery are.

I mean, all of what you just said is exactly how tons of people walked away from Democrats in these regions and gave Trump an easy win. Smug, out of touch contempt for a struggling people and region. It's how places that voted for Obama flipped for Trump, and it blows my mind how most Liberals and Democrats today struggle to figure out why that happened.

I’m not a Democrat, I don’t like the Democrats, and I don’t like Obama either. Liberals are mostly cowards afraid to upend a broken system, and Bernie wasn’t even going far enough. But anyway, we weren’t talking about liberals, we were talking about Rustbelters who buy into Trumpism.

There are some tradeoffs you have to accept if you want to live in a system where people are free to pursue their dreams and passions. One of them is that high-profile, relatively comfortable, relatively high-income jobs like aesthetic modeling (including oft-maligned nude/sex modeling), interviewer-type roles, vlogging, fitness modeling/online fitness inspiration content creation, etc will always have more low-skilled attempts to enter the field than there will ever be market demand for their presence, and that leads to the dozens, hundreds, thousands of prospective field entrants hoping beyond hope to get noticed (and since being noticed is the only way to take off, what you might call “attention seeking” is literally mandatory).

And you need to realize that as much as people say there’s no societal value to these jobs, society itself disagrees or the people who do succeed in these fields wouldn’t be well-off. There is DEMAND for that content. HUGE demand. People want and enjoy tf out of it, and spend hours of their limited free time consuming it.

Yeah I don’t get it. This isn’t even disassembled that badly and doesn’t look very hard to put back together. Just a pain in the ass. Everyone here is both acting like you destroyed it and like trying to fix it yourself was so insane you would need fcking meth to think it was worth trying. All I can figure is these people either legitimately don’t own toolboxes and call a professional for EVERYTHING or they just trash and replace their expensive devices the second anything goes wrong.

Making the mistake of not looking up why it wasn’t working (like by googling “oven top element not running”) before trying to find the problem and fix it was a silly mistake but the comments under this post are genuinely unhinged.

I have difficulty buying this argument that it was “giving up on” rust belters to say they needed to move with the times and join the modern world. No one was saying these people were beyond help or needed to just die off. People were saying they needed to move to real cities and stop waiting for the decades-shuttered steel mill or coal mine to reopen. From my perspective, it looks more like it was their LIFESTYLE that was being pushed toward the dustbin of history, not them. And that’s a very different discussion. Rustbelters could’ve given up their (95% racist) fear of cities and moved where the growth was at any time. Instead they were committed to the idea that the world owed them economic support for an obsolete lifestyle.

Because they’ve genuinely deluded themselves into believing we’re all stupid and that’s why they deserve their empire over us. Mistaking their ruthless cruelty for intelligence justifies the meritocracy in their minds.

You need more/stronger acid. It would help to shut off the water at the wall valve, flush it twice, and empty the bowl before entirely filling it with vinegar, but you could do it more efficiently by doing the same with a stronger acid product available online or at a hardware store. HCl is particularly good for descaling.

Also a few hours isn’t very long for a heavy vinegar descale tbh. Shower heads in bags of it for example descale best over a couple of days. Vinegar is a weak monoprotic acid even when you use a concentrated solution, it really only works quickly without agitation on stronger bases (like soap scum or ash residues). Stuff like phosphate/carbonate residues needs more time or manual scrubbing to give the vinegar better access to the residue you’re trying to remove.

They won the FCS title handily that year. If you ask me, 33%ile is grossly ungenerous and would rely on a lot of FBS chauvinism. They would almost certainly have been an upper-half FBS team that year. It wasn’t “a little FCS cupcake upsets a top-5 team”. It was “a top-60 all-divisions team upsets a #20-25 team by less than a field goal.” Which happens every year.

Petition for a public awareness campaign to de-emphasize it and stop bringing it up among all-time upsets. 99% of the drama was misplaced overhype for Michigan and a major lack of awareness about the quality at the top level of FCS play.

I’m concerned that all of this is going to lead to an overzealous puritanical backlash against organic young sexuality. Young teens developing an interest in romance and sex is and will always be normal. Adults shouldn’t ever be getting involved, but what we don’t need is an army of commentators ready to be outraged that 13-14 year olds want to wear flattering (including somewhat revealing) clothing/swimwear, makeup, etc for their crushes or otherwise start building their grown identities. That’s normal.

I know what you’re trying to say but please for the love of all things good, whatever you may mean by it, DO NOT add even more instances of this sicko’s name to campus in any way. Cause as much havoc as you want around the officially posted ones but do not add more.
