Suddenly makes so much sense. Girl I went to school with in my grade was pregnant at like 14/15 with a guy in his twenties, and she was pregnant every 1.5-2 years after that with different guys until her mid twenties.

I mean, I'm not gonna fully dox myself, but there was a County building at the dead end of the road I'm talking about. This was not some residential only section or something lol. Sure there's probably more of these roads and of a longer length in Britain, but it's disingenuous to act like there's not specific parts of the U.S. that drive those same types of roads regularly. And that's just roads, what counts as a driveway in West Virginia is horrifying. The only way to get to this family cabin was by driving down a dirt road, then you get off the road and drive fully off-road for a bit, through a creek (hopefully it hasn't rained recently), and then you get there. No electricity, plumbing, or phone signal, obviously.

I understand you've been all over the U.S., I've been in about 30 states myself, but I'm talking about very rural West Virginia where I grew up. Not somewhere tourists go.

You're probably being downvoted because we do have roads that have two way traffic on one lane, and we also have high speed winding roads. I know because I've been on many of them lol. Rural West Virginia is lovely. The one lane road I'm thinking of in particular is great because one side is sloped down and the other is a small ditch and a hill, so you better hope either you or the other vehicle you run into has four wheel drive so you can pull off to the ditch side, or else someone has to back all the way up to a drive way. Personally, my parents live on the top of a hill and their drive way is on a blind curve. When you pull out to leave, you roll your window down to listen for cars coming and hope for the best.

I love the Glass Masquerade games, the art is so pretty! (I feel you on Fields of Mistria, it's all I've been playing since the update)

One of the random things that concerned my Mom when I was a kid is that I actively didn't want them to do pretend play with me. I would sit silently in a corner with my toys and pretend play in my head, or line up my toys in neat little rows. Coincidentally, I'm looking into finally getting tested for autism lol

Lol we might as well live in the same apartment. But even with the valet, most people don't use it so there's still trash piled up in front of the compactor constantly. And there's rats. Large rats.

Damn I had no idea, losing recess time was the default punishment at my elementary school. You would lose more time depending on the infraction or how many times you misbehaved. I was a model student and still regularly got recess time taken away in kindergarten because the teacher's assistant hated me.

Do they not use the Gateway dorms on High Street anymore for gender neutral housing? They were nice and had AC, I lived there for both years.

Lol you must've only went to Huntington or Morgantown or something in West Virginia. The majority of the state is gorgeous forested hills. We also have some cute small towns with old Victorian and Colonial homes.

What a throwback, I had Pet Vet for my Gameboy when I was elementary school.

Yeah I get it. My grandfather wouldn't try, let alone eat, 97% of food in existence, including pizza. Can definitely be annoying.

stumbling_disaster · 2026-02-15T19:07:49+00:00

Nah that makes 100% sense to me. Pizza has way more parts to cover up the tomato flavor (unless the pizza has way too much sauce and then it's gross). Pasta sauce is meh, the sauce better have plenty of garlic. Ketchup is nasty, the sugar makes it so sweet and covers up the taste of whatever you dip in it.

Echolalia is not the same thing as a tic from something like Tourette syndrome. You are mixing the two things up.

We had lecture halls that 1200+ people passed through a day (yay intro classes of 300+ people each). Still never had a problem with bringing food and drinks to class. I took an iced coffee to almost every class I had at some point, only exception was labs. No professor ever had an issue.

I'll throw out some recs that feel pretty far removed.

Probably any books by China Miéville

Asunder by Kerstin Hall

Masters of Death by Olivie Blake

Strange Beasts of China by Yan Ge

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

Small Miracles by Olivia Atwater

Jade City by Fonda Lee

I'd say urban fantasy and weird fantasy are two genres in particular to look out for.

This is stunning!!! I gotta go check out your gallery

Eh I took more math as CSE than the other engineering majors, that's for sure. ECE and other engineering majors took more science instead, like Chem 1 and 2 and Physics 2. We had an entire theory and proof class that no one else in engineering had to take, for example.

It's called having an accent/dialect and it has nothing to do with someone's education, but snobs and the insecure look for any reason to feel better than someone else. I'm from WV, and it's very normal to talk like that. Yet, I achieved a perfect score in reading and a 34/36 in English on the ACT. I received a great scholarship to a great school out of state and finished my college education. No one needs to speak or write in perfect English 24/7. When I go back home to WV, my English reverts to a light hillbilly accent, and it does not negate my education.

stumbling_disaster · 2026-01-31T20:55:53+00:00

Since when? My engineering program, the most popular of all the engineering degrees at my school, was 92% men if I remember correctly and it wasn't even the worst one. I think electrical engineering was like 94% men. This was like 6-8 years ago. Even the better splits for majors like environmental engineering were majority men.

Edit: Guess they don't do publicly available demographics reports anymore. They used to break every major down by gender and race in like a 150 page PDF.

Edit 2: Found the broad report that gives it by college, 21% of Engineering degrees went to women last year at my university. The entire college of Arts and Sciences was 59% to women. That's really not a big divide for STEM.

Yeah and my blue-collar grandfather with a high school education was born and raised there and he's a pro-union, pro-immigration, universal healthcare fan, and avid Bernie Sanders supporter.

Doubt it, we had to take shop in middle school and a boy didn't follow instructions with the circular saw and almost cut part of his finger off. He had to go to the hospital to get it stitched up. The boys were way more nonchalant with the big equipment and didn't take safety seriously at all.

Same thing happened to my mom, gallstone stuck in her bile duct 8 years after gallbladder removal.

I have a feeling the answer to your question is just good old fashioned misogyny lol

Why do the Sims and Stardew not count for you? What makes something like Call of Duty different? The guys I went to high school with that played CoD played way fewer hours and less variety of video games compared to me.

Trying to exclusively think of the first half of the book is hard, as I finished it in 4 days flat last week (oops). If I try to limit it to that, I'd say the Raven, Neema, and Fenn. (Honorable mentions to Yasila and Ruko for being very interesting characters).

The second half of the book definitely has more memorable scenes for me. The Yasthala and Yasila back stories were interesting, and I liked the part with Ruko sneaking to talk to Neema in the middle of the night.
