I’m guessing the growing awareness of sexual assault problems on college campuses needs no introduction. Nor does the zeal that is leading the charge. In recent news, a guy was accused of sexual misconduct, but he made a case for asymmetry in application of the rules and won. I am, at least at this initial stage without that much information, pleased to see this. The … Continue reading
Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò wrote a great piece on how he’s a teacher, not a job trainer. I commonly complain about liberal arts institutions being co-opted as job training centers. Táíwò’s article takes the individual perspective, and gets a better personal angle on why this is bad. My usual argument is primarily that life has a lot of awesome stuff to it, and making money really isn’t that much … Continue reading More reason to decimate nonprivate evaluation
Aggron can tack on a lot of TMs, sure, but with his dismal special attack, hydro pump, flamethrower, and thunderbolt may as well be NFE by default and normal against things they’re SE against. The low-accuracy iron tail is okay after STAB. In terms of the E4, Blaziken also sweeps pretty easily. Unless you’re using him against things fire and fighting can’t hit well … Continue reading Regarding Blaziken in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
Well, another batch of popular shows are being removed from Netflix. And quite a few people are ready to just pirate the shows. I’m not quite sure whether the network execs aren’t thinking this sorta thing through or just assume everyone forgot how to acquire things for free. Piracy rates plummeted when Netflix, Spotify, etc. got big because, sure, you could download things one by one … Continue reading The pirates are ready for more Netflix removals
I read this article to make sure I wasn’t missing something. But, no, it’s indeed the case that finding anyone who seriously cares about poetry or creative writing generally has anything good to say about Kaur’s work. It’s pretty transparently vapid. What’s left me at a loss is why I actively dislike it. Sure, it’s a bunch of platitudes published by a major publisher and getting … Continue reading The poetry aisle at Wal-Mart is awful
The Equifax leak (which still happened and is still a problem for, well, an absurd amount of people, though it’s fallen off the news radar) should really have us question why this sort of thing is allowed to even be. If credit scores/reports were just for credit cards, I could see a case for their existence, maybe. But that’s not what they’re just for. Rather, … Continue reading Fuck credit scores
I sometimes make jokes about the US or parts thereof having more guns than people. I was curious so I looked into it. Turns out my joke was actually literally true. The US has 112.6 guns per 100 people. The only country on the list of countries with data to even break half of that is Serbia at 75.6 per 100. Continue reading America has more guns than people
