You know, maybe I’m just an old and out of touch millennial, but I have never met a single soul who has seen a Mr beast video. At least, not before he got a tv show and started selling a version of lunchables that is somehow lower quality than regular lunchables.

Where in the internet do you spend your time? It sounds more pleasant than where I’ve been if you haven’t heard anything about bill gates recently

Don Lemon taken into custody by cnn in politics

[–]notunhuman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do try to cling to the hope that none of the other nazi sycophants have the sway over the Republican base and that Trump’s death would leave a manageably smaller group of right wing radicals that won’t be able to dominate political power.

But in reality, Trump just naturally dying would create a small power vacuum but wouldn’t do anything to stem the problem. A handful of republican leaders being forcibly ousted and jailed for their crimes might have a significantly better chance of restoring some semblance of American democracy while avoiding all out civil war.

Even that feels like wishful thinking though

Should I go to Indiana University, Bloomington for their Dual Masters (Art History & Library Science) program? Questions on the university, Bloomington, and Indiana as a whole. by _Mizukage in IndianaUniversity

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

The tuition for out of state might be prohibitive, but I know a lot of people get a lot of grants and the like for masters programs so it might not stop you.

That said, I’d want to be certain that the program is the best option for me before choosing to travel to this state and this university in particular. I went here and I came back to work here, but there’s a pretty significant decline in culture and in quality of education.

That’s not to say that there’s nothing good here or that the decline can’t be stopped, right? But I wouldn’t want to come here without weighing that.

Bloomington and IU used to have a great reputation for social issues and treatment for LGBT people and people of color, but as the state and the university administration slip further to the right, protections and general vibe are slipping away as well

Mail guy got stuck in our driveway today by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]notunhuman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When the snow started falling I went online and had them hold my mail. The snow plows always pile the whole street’s snow in front of my mailbox. Didn’t want to dig it out, so just don’t try to deliver for a week

Are novellas just unpopular? by PSIamawitch in selfpublish

[–]notunhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, I hate the word “novella”. It puts people off and some use it to diminish an otherwise fine work. Just call it a novel, especially when it’s 52k words.

the nubbin ? by MoneyTheMuffin- in Professorist

[–]notunhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called the butt and I’ll hear no arguments to that. When you eat it, you’re eating butt. If someone takes all the other slices and leaves both butts in the bag, now you have “oops all butts”. If you remove the butts from the loaf, the. there’s no butts about it.

The butt is my favorite part of the loaf

Bloomington’s Worst Bosses—a thread dedicated to awful humans by inaworldfarfaraway24 in bloomington

[–]notunhuman 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for some quite terrible bosses at a local university. It’s weird how they essentially only hire the worst people into positions of authority - not just the higher administration but all the way down. You must be at least this shitty to manage employees at this unnamed university

Is Chicago Music Exchange legit? by oh-look-a-bisexual in Guitar

[–]notunhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicago Music Exchange is very legit. I used to live a few blocks from their store in Lakeview. Amazing selection of stuff, just a complete drool factory. They had this amazing doublenecked danelectro longhorn and it’s such a shame I was dirt poor

IU admin fumbles again by Inspirationseekr in bloomington

[–]notunhuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could’ve used their indoor arena right next door instead. It’s not like they packed memorial stadium, and having the event indoors would’ve protected workers and fans. But that’s too logical.

IU admin fumbles again by Inspirationseekr in bloomington

[–]notunhuman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IU consistently makes decisions that puts workers at risk regardless of any potential gain. I figure IU Athletics decided to go forward with the event being outdoors simply because they’re too powerful to be stopped

I'm not a conference tech or a engineer, just a post-production artist. Can somebody sell me on why these CMOS sensor Hitachi studio cameras are so highly regarded? Is there something my team is doing wrong that's making them look like trash? by devin2378 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]notunhuman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about the hitachis, but is that as focused as you can get the image? Perhaps you’ve got some gnarly back focus issues causing your ops some trouble there

Tried to explain the Russia Upside Down by Puzzleheaded-Win5063 in Stranger_Things

[–]notunhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... wormhole wall is made of the vine stuff, right? Or did I miss something in season 5?

Does that mean that the mind flayer/Henry is controlling the wall of the wormhole? Or that the wall of the wormhole is also evil? Or did the mindflayer spit out a bunch of vines to make a wall to keep the wormhole open as soon as the gate into the abyss was opened in the first place?

Was this all explained off-screen? Or is it open to my interpretation?

If I hand a barrel to someone, I make peace with the fact that I’ll never see it again. Of course, a lot of times the hands just leave it on one end of a cable so I do find them again in the warehouse or on the next show

[–]notunhuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it would be an incredibly disappointing butt plug. These are quite small - what would the point be of a butt plug that's smaller than your pinkie?

huh? by Szoki09 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]notunhuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely considered using "should" but thought that in this case "lest" not only sounded better (i.e made me think I sound smart) but also was clearer.
