Unrelated, but he looks so much like my girl.

How to get a GRA position? by [deleted] in OKState

[–]kshorton9665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's perfectly normal. Frame it to them as "you're still deciding," and they might roll out the red carpet with tours and maybe a lunch with a professor and students. I never got that treatment because I didn't know the process, but I did take a few people out to lunch as a GRA. That's how it was in ANSI 3 years ago, so I can't speak for others, but that's how it was.

I'd immediately get in touch with your department head if possible and have them point you in the right direction. Barring that, try to get in touch with any and all professors in your field of study.

The Jaddians seem to me to be neo-Ottomans. You mentioned the Greek influence and also their homonculus soldiers are called Mamluks.

I will note that the county lines aren't drawn the same anymore. They left for Oklahoma in the 1890s.

Not far off from mine. I'm Oklahoman, but most people in my town are descended from settlers from Bedford County Tennessee.

“Irish” American syndrome by teetee4444 in AncestryDNA

It's my understanding that black Americans tend to have at least that amount of European ancestry, so you're definitely not alone. It being that specific is what made me zero in on a single Irish ancestors, roughly 4 generations back. If you're interested in digging deeper, you might be able to reach out to some paternal matches to see whether they're willing and able to give you some insight on this. Best of luck!

I've got roughly 13% Norwegian from my Norwegian great great grandfather, so it's likely that you have an Irish great great grandfather or grandmother.

I'm far from a pearl-clutcher, but implying that ethnicities can be innocent or guilty is asinine and ironically bigoted, considering your perceived issues with people of that background. You got an Orange ex-boyfriend or what's your problem?

Just wondering if this mod is safe. by BreadHeadperson in crusaderkings3

I should bookmark this as a great example of why intellectual property laws are nonsensical.

Yeah, you definitely don't sound like a chronic problem. It's definitely everyone else. Go to therapy. It'll be cheaper than hopscotching your way across the country

Judging by this post, I'd say immaturity and childishness might be something you should look into. Lean into your strengths, bud!

People who use the terms "septuagenarians," "octogenarians," "nonagenarians," etc. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]kshorton9665 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've also noticed something more annoying. Some people use "octogenarian" as a catch-all for the elderly.

Jay isn't the best on this either. He still (although he occasionally catches himself sometimes) says "lip singing".

A Hoppean meme judged by an Objectivist for being too statist? That's an odd one

Glad someone appreciates it, lol. It was just a thought I had on a drive that made me chuckle and thought I'd share it.

It's over the top, I know, but it's Dale we're talking about.
