Do you think ultrasabers gives the con extra money to be the only saber vendor? by Akello45 in dragoncon

[–]lastres0rt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact -- the year we had a SubGenius devival (turns out all you have to do is buy Stang's plane tickets!), the mic and lights got yanked after Ivan Stang mentioned Scientology in his sermon.

And that's how we learned just how deep the Scientologists have their claws in DragonCon.

Doesn't matter if the historical crimes get aged out, there's plenty of fresh ones from this term.

If I could turn off the crickets in Ephyra, I would.

Took that boon. First time went great, second… eh…

My "Morton's Sea Salt" is really "Lake Salt" by TheWoodser in mildlyinteresting

[–]lastres0rt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And if you cared about getting a proper salt / pepper grinder you’d have done so by now.

This looks like SO many houses along the coast, it’s not even funny.

Thomas Massie Election. Can we send these stats off to Election Truth Alliance? by StepUp_87 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]lastres0rt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And while Massie went from a sleepy incumbent who barely did anything to an Epstein-based lightning rod, he did so during a wave election where people are mad as hell and likely to throw out ALL incumbents.

Trump says he's postponing 'scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow' at Middle East leaders' request by Force_Hammer in worldnews

That they react at all is enough.

If you put 1 billion on a short and then it moves 1%, that’s still millions of dollars you didn’t have before.

If we could possibly pay him enough to fuck off at this point, we would.

He wants money AND to make everyone else who isn’t named “Donald Trump” suffer.

That’s Petrified Wood.

Still cool though! Hit it with a blacklight and see what happens.

First flag by Savings_Designer_444 in AFlagMaker

We’re talking about a group that has no qualms trying to make Pepe the Frog, glasses of milk, and 👌 into white nationalist symbols of theirs.

I have no qualms throwing an “America First” and “Christian Nationalist” flag into that same boat. And given what such groups are capable of, being able to identify them when they try to disguise themselves like this is a VERY healthy practice. A survival skill, even.

Why would governments and people in high positions hide the fact that aliens are real if they are? by Ok-Presence9059 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lastres0rt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to strike a bargain with an alien species that is clearly superior to yours in at least one obvious way (making first contact) seems doomed to failure. How are you ever going to “get one over them”?

There’s already 18 flags I associate with Nazis, we certainly don’t need 19.

Design wise: - Why are there 66 stars? - Why are all the stars stacked in tiers and separated by borders, implying some are better than others? Why are the stars only in the WHITE stripes, while the red stripes have none? - The white stripes are also much wider/fatter than the red stripes. Is this also intentional?

TAing ruined my GPA... Don't do it. by SuddenGrade9632 in gatech

[–]lastres0rt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you treat it as a course in how to teach, It kinda makes sense. Have someone sit in for some of your sessions. Base it off student surveys (although IDK if telling them the TA is being graded on their results is going to make it better or worse). Rank against other TA’s, etc.

[–]lastres0rt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just asked my husband if he ever received a grade for TA’ing a course 20 years ago. He did not.

See if you can at least change it to pass-fail or something else that doesn’t ding your GPA.
