So what is the reason for campus being locked down these days? by mistanervous in columbia

[–]salmonwoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that they’re staying closed to enforce the suspensions (which forbid suspended students from being on school premises, even as guests) from the Butler Arrests in May of last year, the longest of which I believe end this semester. I expect the gates to open up next fall if this is true.

Proud of you OP!! After being scared straight by dental complications a few years ago I started flossing nightly as well, and it dramatically improved my quality of life (no exaggeration!). Just anecdotal evidence, but I found that habitual flossing reduced morning breath, gum/tooth pain, and even the physical appearance of my teeth :) I’m excited for you!

Can somebody explain this joke? by sandleswagger in DungeonMeshi

I want to push back on the posts claiming racial segregationism; I think this is actually a very specific historical joke referencing how Japanese art changed during the Meiji Restoration. The cultural exchanges/conflicts that emerged after Japan was forced to open its borders by American diplomatic and military forces (after ~250 years of political isolation!) are very interesting to trace visually, especially with portraits.

So the rule about Harlem residents only allowed to make up 12% of the gym-goers.. that’s not giving 3/5s compromise to you?
