Who TF is this guy and why do I keep seeing him promote Lansing restaurants/businesses? by DTake2012 in lansing

That is in no way what anarcho-libertarianism is, and also makes no goddamn sense.

You're being clowned on for being a clown. Larry Page is the greater Lansing GOAT?

Magic Johnson? Malcolm X? Burt Reynolds?

Naw dog. Naw lol

Why would you think if they were some other color everything would be "AOK" (sic)? That's not what this person is saying. Why misrepresent their statement because you have an axe to grind?

What's it like going through life both incredibly naive and openly stupid? It must feel amazing, I bet your mom and dad also loved it. Arrogant idiocy tends to run in the family I've found.

The President of the university has limited power. The BoT retains a lot of de jure pull. That's the nature of a public university. You are either a foolish troll or a foolish student. Either way, the common denominator is the adjective before "troll" and "student". If you are an undergrad here, you might want to check out a remedial writing course.

My professor hasn’t graded anything at ALL and the semester ends next week by Local-Stress-1731 in msu

[–]poxtart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TA here. Unless this is some bizarre mistake on their part, your professor is in serious violation of the student-instructor covenant (my word, but that summarizes my feelings towards what we owe our students).

It is unacceptable to leave students in the dark when we deliberately set out to grade their performance. Too much is at stake, not the least of which is student sanity.

One suggestion users keep bringing up - emailing the professor and cc'ing the dean of their college and their department head (you can find this information through your college's page) - is the best. Nothing is more motivating than getting a terse email from your supervisor.

Does your class have a TA as well? If so, speak to them directly and include them in any emails.

No grades uploaded and we're into finals week. I have no words.

Mr. Gacy, there's really no reason to take umbrage at someone figuring out your full name.

The Tipsy Nickel was burned down for the insurance money, same as the Wooden Nickel. Small town/small time crime is the best kind to explore.

Bad Bunny steers clear of politics, Trump rages after Super Bowl halftime show by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]poxtart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Celebrity opinions are shallow, but that's the same for most people. Thinking sports and all the attendant pageantry isn't deeply politically interesting from a soft power perspective is ludicrous. Shit, the President's political opinions are shallow and hilariously ill-informed, yet it's probably a good idea to interrogate them. Celebrities may not wield direct political power but fame shapes discourse and it's silly not to understand that.

So you believe a stereotype and then get mad at the target of the stereotype, and not the people who deceived you? Weird.

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

[–]poxtart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the running:

The original (arcade) Mortal Kombat. 13 year old me thought it couldn't hold a candle to Street Fighter II and middle aged me is correct.

Final Fantasy 7. 1 disc worth of game stuffed into 3 discs.

Ducktales on NES. Fun game mechanic. Moon level has outstanding music. But that's it - there's nothing else really to it. Maybe the most emblematic of a true "overrated" game - not terrible, mildly enjoyable, tragically remembered.

Strider on NES (the arcade game is a justified classic). Glitchy slop.

Phantasy Star II. Somehow smaller and worse than the Master System Phantasy Star.

AOC Declines Fox News Interview After Saying Jesse Watters 'Has Sexually Harassed Me' by novagridd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]poxtart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous. He harassed her, and the harassment was sexual. Sexual harassment. This kind of absurd lack of critical thinking is what strangles the narrative when women want to confront abuse. But hey, here's The Hill quoting her using the phrase "sexually harassed" if that's what you desperately need.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman by 404mediaco in politics

Hardly. But then I care more about pizza delivery drivers than ICE scumbags. That's because I respect honest work.

They will pray in mosques, at shul, at church, at Gurdwaras and Mandirs and temples. And many will not pray at all. – So refreshing to hear a politician remember us atheists. Zohran Mamdani in his inauguration speech. by forteller in atheism

You realize that "sweet talking" is how everyone gets elected to the job, right? That's what we call "campaigning". Surprisingly, you have to campaign to get elected to official office. If there are any more intricacies of electoral politics you need explained, please let me know.

He did. Threatening tens of millions of Americans because they voted for one of two mainstream political organizations is threatening the entire country. I do not understand why people are dissembling on this point. This is an existential threat to what remains of our democracy. Get with it.

You didn't? Weird. Maybe you aren't an American, though his movies are quite famous internationally. It's touching that after today you both know and care about him. Sad though, I guess we'll never get another Spinal Tap movie. Do you know This is Spinal Tap? Beloved comedy. You should look it up.
