sometimes you can't tell the difference between people suggesting transition and people suggesting you switch to linux

(probably because it's often the same people)

I wonder how many people got into systematics from playing Pokemon as a kid.

I really enjoyed that part! The species would get registered to the encyclopedia if you did a few tasks, but you couldn't get all the info (height and weight distribution, full geographic range) until you specifically did those tasks.

Being a behavioral/sensory ecologist, I feel like my research background is probably really close to what they're looking for, so I might give it a shot anyways.

But yeah, based on that the application documents are all in Japanese, and they want your name in furigana, it's probably more than just a nice to have

JUST FYI, Japanese language is listed as a nice to have on the translation of that announcement, not a requirement.

I grew up in Baltimore and went to UMBC for college. The flood was crazy! I still can't believe the buildings on the main street were built straddling the Tiber.

Baltimore is definitely way nicer than most pf Maryland, except for like Ellicott City.

Columbia MD is a (particularly ugly) planned community dominated by a shopping mall.

My *other* uncle has paintings in MOMA, and was a choreographer for late night variety TV in the 70s, but he could never afford a house in his lifetime

Also fine art. My uncle was a muralist and classically trained sculptor with famous clients who you've seen on TV. He could barely afford an okay house.

I've already decided that this is my last social media site. If this thing turns sour, I'm just going to touch grass.

kind of off topic, but I still think it's pretty strange that one of the most popular Hearts of Iron 4 mods is the My Little Pony total conversion

The FARK.com method is good, imo. Pay money to upvote early, get rid of ads, or cuss without getting censored (separate monthly fees for each of these).

The one who thought gay people reproduce by enticing straight children, and tried to justify the Spanish expulsion of Jews was a real piece of work.

Four years of classes with religion teachers who were virulent homophobes, antisemites, and/or young earth creationists got me most of the way there

Not looking good that I pay as much in rent for my nice apartment here in Kansas as the going rate in Baltimore for a 500 sq shotgun shack with boarded up windows, set between two burned out houses
