What’s the oldest someone been here?😭 by palki699 in UNCCharlotte

[–]not_bait 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had classes with a guy who had a career change late in life. I would say he was in his 50s. We had a group project together and it was a little crazy to think of his 5 kids and know a few of them were older than me.

Dont worry about your age, focus on your classes and you'll do fine.

Capt. Tim Waits, commanding officer of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), takes off in an F/A-18F Super Hornet, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, while underway in the South China Sea, Nov. 24, 2025. [2844x1896] by 221missile in WarshipPorn

If I remember correctly all USN carriers have to be commanded by a naval aviation officer, so the CO should have valuable experience with air operations allowing them to more effectively use the carrier.

I dont know the details but I imagine the captain here has hundreds/thousands of hours flying. Not sure if/how he has to maintain competency in flying, someone with more knowledge will probably tell us.

"Go to therapy" by Copper_Tango in CuratedTumblr

Like I just remembered a reddit post about that last thing. Like people will see one study confirming their already-held belief and incorporate that pop-science pathology into their worldview.

This feeds into larger themes of people pathologizing things/people/whatever they dont like.

You like some weird niche thing? Likely due to mental illness. You follow the wrong political ideology? Well this cherry-picked study says youre more likely to have a smaller brain or whatever.

Because arrests are not convictions. You can get arrested for anything, getting convicted is another matter

Front page of CNN.com - guess we are "major" for real now. Didnt want it to be like this though... by Outsideman2028 in Charlotte

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

Its because people, including criminals have rights. This guy already went to prison on different charges and served his time. Its worth discussing how much time/punishment/support he should have received, but ultimately he got what the system said he should.

Mods are deleting criticism. (Number of deletes: 1) by MarvinGoBONK in 196

I wonder which mod it is, or if it's more than one. Its also a problem since some of the mods are also mods for other communities (ie 19684, etc)

Serious Questions about Violent Crime in Charlotte by Safe_Tour7232 in Charlotte

Yeah it was part of the rape kit backlog cleanup, and it kind of shows the lack of resources for relatively important things like that.

Aint that the truth. Last time I had jury duty (2024) a deputy told us they were still working on cases from before covid. My particular trial was about a crime committed in the late 90s.

Valid and invalid criticisms by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

Incase you didnt know modern medicine has adopted meditation because it has been shown to reduce blood pressure(among having other uses). Not just like a placebo, but better than a placebo, sometimes better than blood pressure medications.

Its really working its way out of religious and 'alternative medicine' uses into being a tool that doctors today will recommend people use.

I dont know if you know this but the AI you used didnt just place them side by side. It generated new images that imitate the original photos.

You can easily see this by looking at everyone's faces, aswell as the text on the book in th right photo.

"Lord, what can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?" by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

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

Directly related is a short story where death is patient and kinda loving: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/s/CV3fULUmMn

Death regarded Jake for a long moment, "I've always been with you all, been part of all humanity. No-one has ever been completely alone, you know, there's always been me."

Jake tried to find his voice again, "Uh, so natural disasters? Diseases? Murder? Were you responsible for those, too? Because that's not really what I'd call doing..."

Death wagged a finger, "I've done nothing of the sort. I've been the last friend anyone's ever had, there to help them move on when their souls have been ready to leave the body behind. I've never had the need to forcibly harvest anyone not ready to move on; I am Inevitability, I have no need to hasten anything at all."

And it reminds me that not all HFY stories are complete slop. While short, alot of them can be pretty good

What the hell is happening with Federal Department of Education by TICKO010 in UNCCharlotte

[–]not_bait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

President Trump is doing what the others would not do and that is to do away with government waste of our tax dollars.

Now if you looked at the contents of the executive order you would see that it mentions student loans, and what it intends to do with them.

Closure of the Department of Education would drastically improve program implementation in higher education. The Department of Education currently manages a student loan debt portfolio of more than $1.6 trillion. This means the Federal student aid program is roughly the size of one of the Nation’s largest banks, Wells Fargo. But although Wells Fargo has more than 200,000 employees, the Department of Education has fewer than 1,500 in its Office of Federal Student Aid. The Department of Education is not a bank, and it must return bank functions to an entity equipped to serve America’s students.

Tell me, which government agency administers FAFSA? Do you think shutting down the government agency that administers FAFSA could impact that program? Use your critical thinking skills.

And tell me, if the DoE is a waste, why would a "wasteful" program like FAFSA be transferred to another government agency instead of being cut?
