I mean fourth from bottom and a 14% difference between that and the top company is still pretty poo poo.

Platystemon posted:Comcast was worst or second‐worst every year from 2002 to 2015, inclusive. While their customer service blows and they like to rope you in with some great deal and then gently caress you raw 6 months later, they never once sent me anything for the terabytes after terabytes of torrented movies, music and video games that were downloaded at high speeds the past 16 years. Now I'm somewhere they don't service and have Brighthouse instead and they seem ok, but speeds are slower. Kirk Vikernes has a new favorite as of 23:52 on Apr 28, 2017 |

I thought Yale and Harvard were supposed to be some of the best universities in the United States (if not the world) but lately whenever I hear about them it involves stupid bullshit. As if that's going to stop all of them Phlegmish has a new favorite as of 10:27 on Apr 29, 2017 |

It’s possible that Yale and Harvard are uniquely stupid, but I think it’s more likely that stupid poo poo happens at every university, but no one gives a poo poo if it’s Washburn University.

There are two things to consider. First, prestigious universities tend to end up with only the most disastrously middle and upper class liberal sorts. Secondly, while about half the population is filled with people considered to be good students, the other half is either important enough or just buys their way in. An anecdote that really does nothing to prove my point, but is amusing. Andy Schlafly and Barack Obama were in the same graduating class for law at Harvard.

Should be really easy for me to get my naturalization completed after my parents divorced and my mom and I moved down to Florida, right? Nope. Came back with a big rubber stamp denying it for "lying on the form". Turns out my dad had renounced his US citizenship after my birth without telling anyone. He was still a citizen at the time, but because we had put down that he was a citizen on the form we ended up getting rejected. The ensuing paperwork has taken so long that we've switched presidents twice since then and I'm 25 without a passport or any other documentation demonstrating citizenship. I'm stuck getting annual ID cards with Canadian citizenship paperwork until it gets sorted out.

Absurd Alhazred posted:That really sucks. It's one of the reasons I'm really sympathetic toward illegal immigrants and the like. I know firsthand how difficult it is even for a white boy from Canada with a clean criminal record and American parents to get citizenship straightened out, because even the slightest mistake will set you back years. And not everyone is lucky enough to have all the advantages I do when applying. I actually had everything taken care of, and then suddenly got a letter saying that I needed to submit a new passport photo because they had taken so long to process my paperwork that my photo was rejected for being too old by the time they were ready to use it. The only reason I have a current ID card is because my mom included a certified, long form copy of my birth certificate with my dad's death certificate in the paperwork she used to get me Social Security. Our initial request for a birth certificate copy to get my new card was denied because of new rules requiring a guarantor (with Canadian citizenship and part of a limited number of professions, like a notary or lawyer) to sign off on my request to prove that it's not fraud. If we didn't find that copy buried in the bottom of a storage bin, I'd probably still be carrying around an expired driver's license and hoping nobody looked at the expiration date.

But I won't lie and say I hadn't thought about making a fake ID with the card maker at work as long as I could find the right laminate. The best part is having people try to tell me to my face that I'm wrong and need to just go get my citizenship that I already have, because didn't you know that being born in another country to American parents is automatic US citizenship and you're going about it all the wrong way? chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 00:26 on May 2, 2017 |

Here's a reference I never thought I'd read in Politico of all placesquote:What’s that howling ricocheting through the liberal precincts? It’s only New York Times readers and writers greeting the arrival of neoconservative pundit Bret Stephens to the newspaper’s op-ed page as if he’s Slenderman coming to murder their children. His debut column in Saturday’s edition, a guns-blazing counterattack on those who call him a climate denier, has traumatized the Times mind-meld like nothing before.

My niece, when she was maybe 11 or so(?) not only knew about slenderman but the extended universe which is apparently quite vast. She and her schoolmates in rural Washington state chose characters to play as.  I don't think she has a forums account either it just sort of spread somehow.

There's a whole generation of kids where Slenderman is going to be like Bloody Mary was to me and my friends.

I remember back when Slenderman was just starting to get hashed out someone from the thread tried to make a Wikipedia page that got deleted for not being notable and an SA meme. A few years ago my cousin, 14-ish I think, went as him for Halloween. It was really weird seeing something become notable like that.

The MSJ posted:I think by now the amount of people who knows about Slenderman that can name its origin is less than people who can name the guy who would be America's current king if George Washington decided to make America a monarchy. The latter is super complicated, given the question of whether Washington would have made one of his grand-nephews his heir, or if he would have made his wife's grandson George Washington Parke Custis his heir (Custis was his ward, and he got by far the best share of Washington's estate of any individual beneficiary). I mean, if Washington had been King, Custis would have been raised in court, and as such may have been seen as better suited to be crown prince than one of the grand-nephews, who by all accounts were hunting and drinking Virginia gentlemen at best. The degree of consanguinity of a grand-nephew vs. a ward was already pretty moot by 1799, in terms of Western monarchies. Genealogy websites make a big whoop about Bushrod Washington's descendants, but history suggests Washington was much closer to his step-grandson than any of his nephews or grand-nephews.
