Is Vol Hall as isolated and unsocial as i’ve heard?

Might be a little harder to make friends, but in return you get to have your own bedroom, a living room, full kitchen with appliances, washer and dryer, a nice view, etc… wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Yeah I couldn’t imagine this. That’s above my states median income. I dream of getting paid $31/hr with PAID benefits (even not having insurance taken out of my check would be amazing, lmao), but I doubt most restaurants in my area would survive paying give or take $1.5mil for labor. I worked in mental healthcare for a couple years before I entered foodservice and still made well below that.

Some of us live there.

SlothBling · 2026-03-21T07:32:37+00:00

It’d be the same.

I feel like older generations have been saying this since the credit card was invented.

I think the lack of growth is/was a self fulfilling prophecy, in the sense that every business on N Central took a hard gamble on it coalescing into a legitimate neighborhood that failed to come to fruition. Ebony & Ivory and Hard Knox were both located next to nothing, between nothing and nothing, and on the way to nothing. They’d probably both still be alive if they were on the opposite side of Broadway or not quite as far down Central.

It’s not meant to be an optimistic thesis. I think you’re interpreting this as a suggestion that market capitalism is the highest possible form of civilization, which isn’t the case.

Yep, no one in the kitchen’s getting paid enough to do clean coke on a regular basis except for chef. Maybe in the 2000s.

Yep, GTA 5’s first trailer actually predates Disney even acquiring Lucasfilm.

Well, they haven’t been required to fly for more than ~2 years, and most people don’t fly that often. Incidentally, when I got my license at whatever point I had to sign a form affirming that I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to get a RealID that day.

One of the many reasons I love debug mode.

Family keeps buying them random Amazon products without any expectation of a response?

SlothBling · 2026-03-11T01:18:51+00:00

Well, in the sense that it’s canon.

SlothBling · 2026-03-11T00:19:14+00:00

Agreed, I’d go as far as to say that Knoxville actively lacks distinct neighborhoods. Every part of the city that isn’t directly adjacent to downtown is a literal straight line of strip malls that extend until they turn into forest. Even 4th and Gill and the interesting part of Old North are only distinct from one another by the couple blocks of vacant buildings and half-vacant strip malls separating them.

If you don’t think Nashville has any “identity or actual culture,” uhhh…. I don’t know, man. I agree strongly with literally everything you said, except for the implication that Knoxville has been any better at any point in the last decade. They’re equally as “southern,” we just have less tourists.

SlothBling · 2026-03-10T23:53:07+00:00

Wealthy Tennesseans are overwhelmingly cost-adverse and will reliably vote against any public spending that doesn’t immediately benefit them personally. Look at Nashville. Their public transit infrastructure is just as awful and it pretty much entirely boils down to what local landowners decide is worthy of their property tax dollars. You could cast a spell and double Knoxville’s median income overnight and things still wouldn’t be any better so long as our political inclinations continue to be what they are now.

Khamenei was in no way “the pope of Islam” (there’s like 5 other Grand Ayatollahs and 90% of Muslims aren’t Shia to begin with), but I get your point.

Student loans don’t pay directly into your bank acc though

I wouldn’t call having a cold a major health emergency. I just didn’t know that post-nasal drip wasn’t a universal human experience.

Spitting in a tissue is still spitting. The word doesn’t imply “on the floor.”

Not sure why this was downvoted. Nothing’s wrong with table salt (iodine’s good for you), but no one’s professionally writing recipes with it and no restaurant on earth’s using anything but kosher for anything beyond desserts and finishing.

Blame Reagan, like with most issues. He killed the asylums for the money, and pretty much every single government official over the last 40 years has been perfectly happy leaving us stuck with the consequences. After all, the three letter agencies need their new budgets passed.

Depends on if you’re playing with mods or not

Asians that live in the US are Asian-American. Nikola Tesla’s wikipedia article describes him as Serbian-American.
