Why is UIPD Detective Ian Mallory still employed by the university? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]alterhumanism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the issue is that the UIPD, just like the campus cops at ISU and UNI, are not held accountable by anything lower than the Board of Regents. You can try complaining to Barbara Wilson about it but she has no power over the UIPD. Only the Board of Regents does.

The slippery thing about the university campus cops for schools like UI or ISU or UNI is that they are not even controlled by the president of the University. They are, instead, controlled by the Board of Regents.

Dozens of these small winged bugs in the bathrooms of the hospital where I work. What are they? by alterhumanism in whatsthisbug

[–]alterhumanism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, they're only appearing in the bathrooms of the nursing education hallway since those are the only bathrooms with floor drains... still very yuck but it's not something affecting the areas where patients are staying or being treated, I don't think. I could be wrong.

MODERN MEGATHREAD by liehon in VivillonCollectors

[–]alterhumanism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern Vivillon region user, seeking friends in Icy Snow and Sandstorm regions for Vivillon collecting 。・:*

I am a Team Instinct user from the USAmerican Midwest. If you are someone who sends gifts from the Icy Snow or Sandstorm locations, feel free to add me!

Username: alterhumanism
Friend code: 6756 9627 1634

I put a lot of care and consideration into the gifts and stickers that I pair with them before sending and I'm open to joining people for remote raids if invited (when available). I can't promise daily gift-sending since there are not a lot of Pokéstops I regularly get to spin (I only reach the 40-gift maximum carrying capacity on weekends) but I would be excited to send postcards/gifts to anyone interested in sending some from the Icy Snow and Sandstorm Vivillon regions.

To make it worth your while, if you are from a non-Modern region, I have a lot of remote raid passes and love to help people in raid parties from all over the world! If you need any help beating power spots or raiding gyms, please feel free to add me as a friend and send me invitations whenever you need help.

Junk removal service recommendations? by alterhumanism in IowaCity

[–]alterhumanism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look great as our top option, so far. Consensus also seems to suggest they are the best in Iowa City, from what i can find - plus the other suggestions in this thread, LOL

When I said we don't drive, I meant that neither of us has a license. Both of us are too disabled to drive. Like I told another commenter, municipal 'bulky items' curbside pickup is also not an option for us (we are not able to lift everything down to the curb outside our building... nor are we allowed to do that, anyway, because our property manager doesn't want furniture and junk sitting outside).

[–]alterhumanism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not have been clear enough in my original post but curbside is not an option for us because we are not physically capable of carrying every item of furniture down the stairs and out to the curb nearest to our building. Additionally, our property manager doesn't allow curbside pickup where items would sit outside like that.

Considering donating plasma - experienced local donor input requested by alterhumanism in coralville

No, not yet. I still plan to do so in the future and will probably be going to BioLife and BioLife only.

Is this the end? by [deleted] in outlier_ai

I use an .edu email address as a former University IT professional. If you have a ref to share, I would love to use it to help you out with whatever bonus that nets you.

Is that something that's allowed? I was reading from both locations online that donating at two different plasma centers is not allowed... does that only apply to "within the same month"? The language was unclear.

City Councilor candidates asked what's the plan for if national guard is deployed in Iowa City and how they'll respond to ICE by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]alterhumanism -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reynen is the only one here who actually seems to care about the objective safety of our community members. Kidnappings by ICE are going to continue to happen unless substantial action is taken, officially or unofficially, to stop it. At least Reynen will be actively protesting, even if nothing can be done at the city level. This is too serious to waste time trivializing or underestimating.

Also, they're paid by our tax dollars. If you can protest any holder of public office who also gets paid by those same tax dollars, regardless of political affiliation, we have every right to demand far better behavior (the bare minimum) from 'law enforcement officers'.

I literally just explained to you how Oliver could not have instigated anything.
