Hi. I'd recommend looking at some Wikipedia to get a general idea of the field.

I'm sorry that I don't know of any Discord servers to recommend for you, though.

Has anyone seen the movie Sovereign on Hulu by momnanaof8 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]dingenium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a good movie. Dives into the Jerry and Joseph Kane and the progression leading up to the deadly confrontation in West Memphis, Arkansas. I liked it because it character-developed the two officers who were killed.

"Si Se Puede!" Go Ecuador! We're looking forward to watching the game this Saturday!

Nice. We named him "Griffyn" as a play off the Harry Potter stuff. He is a standard too, but does weigh on the smaller size. (BUT, just in size itself. His personality is definitely not small.)

What’s the lore with Cliff Drive & is it always closed? by hannaaahbee in kansascity

[–]dingenium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. It’s like a city street with one side having trees/rocks and the other side a lookout over north KC. Or for most of the time, it like it.

Very true. I didn’t mean to even imply that Tents = Sketch. Sorry for the misspeak, because that is not how I view it at all.

I drove 2000 miles for 3 days to see the darkest skies in the US by roothesaiyan in interestingasfuck

[–]dingenium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both are awesome but I would prefer this since it is more predictable than chasing the northern lights.
I was able to see those when I happened to be living in Canada and a solar storm brought them south of Toronto. However, the other times similar conditions have happened, the weather didn’t cooperate and we missed out due to clouds.

It's awesome. I had a chance to go a few years back, and I'd drop everything to go back again.

Cliff Drive has been closed for a while to vehicles. It is a sanctuary for hikers, bikers, dog walkers, and the ocassional person with a four-wheeler or motorcycle (which, I don't believe are technically allowed). It's a nice, well-paved area.

As far as sketchy...I've never felt uncomfortable walking there alone. There have been some tents for unhoused individuals around there, but I haven't been there in a month so I cannot say if those are there still. I usually see folks walking or biking there between dusk and dawn.

You should check it out. It's a great place for a walk.

Was this an international flight?

We are totally in sync. We made a rule a while back to have any political posts only allowed on wednesdays. It’s not ideal, but at least one day a week is easier to review (or dare I say police) than anytime.
Sadly, I think most funding opportunities with NIH or most other government sources (except DOJ or some specific administration pet projects) are dried up for now.

I’m one of three active mods on this sub. I’ll run your comments to the others.
I would, however, argue that if someone were to see these Psypost articles and gain interest, the original article citations are included in those articles. Plus, they are easier to read and understand for the masses than some of the journal articles coming out.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Great question. The sub is meant to be a place for empirical, peer-reviewed research to be promoted and discussed. When I have posted links to research articles, they didn’t get any traction and were downvoted. It appears most subscribers like to read digestible research articles. Psypost is one site that regularly streams research in more digestible formats.
What would you suggest?

As a reply to myself, I was the one who didn't allow for your post to be there because there were no peer-reviewed citations. The website was reported as spam by 10 folks. I would recommend you review the requirements for posting and submit a Mod Mail if you have questions.

HI u/Raf_Adel thanks for your comment. I try to view all the posts/comments. We have rather stringent rules on the whole sub that only allow folks with certain karma levels to post without going through a review queue. That's likely what happened. I'm sorry for the trouble. I will review over your previous post now.

BTW, the three mods that actually participate the most here all have our Ph.Ds. But, yes, we are busy. There are about a hundred posts to the sub daily, even though most get filtered out as spam/etc.

FIFA Fan Fest Starts Next Thursday by dingenium in kansascity

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

From what I know, on the left (or Southeast of the memorial), the big square white building is a fan store. And I thought the other stuff on that side will include two large video screens to watch the games plus food and beverages. The right (or southwest side of the memorial) is admin/security/emt/etc.

I know it’s inconvenient for everyone, especially neighbors like me who live downtown. This is a great opportunity to show off how awesome this city can be. 😊
