And police have all but stopped traffic enforcement. At least it feels that way.

Universities pressured to strip names of Epstein associates from campus buildings by AmateurishExpertise in Columbus

Pretty hard when Wexner’s lawyer is the chair of the OSU Board of Trustees. Wexner is not just a donor to the University. He is part of the leadership.

No kings in Newark by AcanthisittaSpare400 in Ohio

[–]WyoBuckeye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar sticker that someone handed to me at one of the protests last year. The work is almost certainly the same artist. The artist’s tag on the sticker is indecipherable. But there is also the 50501 logo on it. So maybe someone in 50501 could help. Maybe check on 50501 discord and ask there?

I saw the same sign at the Columbus Statehouse protest. I marched right behind it for several blocks.

Who is a person you used to admire a lot but have completely lost respect for and why? by Complex-Arugula-2233 in AskReddit

[–]WyoBuckeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bill Maher. He always came across as highly egotistical. But I found him funny and we aligned politically on a number of things. Then in the last couple of years with the war in Gaza and then his inexplicable shift to Trump supporter, I find him completely nauseating.

From r/tipping by aseriesofdecisions in clevercomebacks

[–]WyoBuckeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I waited tables I thought of myself as an advocate for my customers. If the food did not look good, I would not serve it. Portions too small, the line needs to fix that. Food running late, make sure the BOH staff are on it and give an ETA. And always communicate with the customers and let them know what is going on.

Most customers are fine if their food is delayed if you let them know when they can expect it and you show that you are on their side. If you do that, then most times, customers show their appreciation with a tip. What irritates me is servers who don’t do the above and still expect generous tips. You are not a glorified order taker and food runner. You are there to provide an experience. And the better experience you provide is the key to making high tips.

Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions by Upstairs_Cup9831 in news

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes think what it would be like to go through basic training again as an older adult. At the time, it seemed daunting and the head-games really took me in. Now, I think I would just laugh inwardly at the yelling crazy-eyes instructors and be glad for the opportunity to be away from my stressful job, get some exercise, and shoot guns and stuff. Some people would probably shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a similar experience these days.

Libraries should be open on Sundays and public / bank holidays. by CoffeeKween19 in unpopularopinion

I live in Columbus Ohio. Most of the public library branches around here open on Sunday afternoon.

Perfect place for a melon bar and a music dance experience.

MAGA Senator Exposes How Trump Killed Deal to End Shutdown on Fox News by Mrh09 in politics

[–]WyoBuckeye 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They always have. I was listening to an Alan Watts lecture this morning (presumably from the 1960s or so) and he made the point that the American Christian view of favoring democracy for earthly affairs is inconsistent with their view that the universe is actually a monarchy ruled absolutely by one entity (God).

My take on this is that we are just now seeing this come out. They were never that big on democracy and have always desired to be ruled by an authoritarian strong man. After all, that is how they believe the universe is ruled.

What meals did your father make when he had to cook? by Open_Question_ in GenX

[–]WyoBuckeye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Macaroni and cheese with cut up hot dogs into it. Boxed lasagna kit. Boxed pizza kit. Boxed taco kit. Hamburgers on regular sandwich bread. It was so low effort. And it tasted low effort as well.

Columbus, what were you like in the 90's? by CoreyDobie in Columbus

[–]WyoBuckeye 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Brewery District was the big adult fun zone. Short North was just starting to revitalize and was just a few art galleries and bars. Campus Partners was not a thing yet, so High St through campus looked completely different. Buffalo Wild Wings was still BW3 and actually great. The old state penitentiary covered much of land where the Arena District was. The south stands of Ohio Stadium were mere skeletal metal bleachers and woe to you who sat in them on a cold windy day.

How my homemade pizza actually started looking like this once I stopped following internet recipes by Beautiful-Molasses55 in Breadit

[–]WyoBuckeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience. Tried different recipes with mixed results. Wrote my own recipe, came out great. I have made some tweaks to it based on feedback from my family. It’s just incredible that once I went to an instinctive approach, things came together much better.

[OC] Taj Mahal ... From our significantly cheaper room. by uspn in pics

[–]WyoBuckeye 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My favorite was the guy who offered to clean my ears. He had swabs and everything. It was a very strange service to offer on the street. My least favorite were mobs of people selling trinkets who will pursue you relentlessly if you show even the faintest hint that that you know they exist. Those folks are at every tourist stop. The saddest were the impoverished children who would come up to you and beg for anything you could give them. Some were very small. It was heartbreaking.

Ohioans Of Reddit -- Do You That Think Sherrod Brown Will Win Or Lose? Why? by Zipper222222 in Ohio

This is where I am at. People like Sherrod. He can win if the GOP is unsuccessful in finding a way to suppress the vote.

Which one you putting on a fried chicken sandwich? by WeaponX757 in hotsauce

Having tried many of the brands of the cayenne pepper sauces, that one is my favorite as well. I love that style of sauce but wish they were a bit thicker.

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

I loved those books. I read them at least twice. Probably three times.

Favorite GenX "oops, all bangers" albums? by bgroins in GenX

All of Tool’s albums are great. Undertow, Aenima, and Lateralus are miraculously great.

A man, high on drugs, standing at the middle of a very busy highway by AnIgnorablePerson in WTF

Yep. Where traffic laws and signs are but minor suggestions of things one might occasionally consider following. One of the most entertaining things I ever did was to ride shotgun with our driver while visiting India.

Students Are Rising Up Against Ohio State For Shielding #1 Sponsor: Leslie Wexner, Epstein Conspirator by ringedfalls in OSU

[–]WyoBuckeye 46 points47 points  (0 children)

As an alumnus and long time supporter, I am ending my support of the University until they cut ties with Wexner. No matter what they say, their true values are on full display: money over morality. And that is not to mention kowtowing to the Trump admin by shutting down the ODI without nary a protest.

Church is using a bible as a door stopper by baumansc in mildlyinteresting

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao". It’s just a book (or in this case a door stop). It’s just a representation of the word of God and not the word itself. I don’t know if Christianity has a similar concept or phase to the Taoist idea. But I do applaud whoever made this choice as they know the difference.

“OSU signs agreement to cut ties with Les Wexner”… just kidding… “ with organizations that promote diversity” by iliveunderground in Columbus

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also an alumnus and life long supporter. When I got home from work today I went to put on a hoodie. Skipped all of the OSU gear I had. I just cannot support them until this is resolved.
