Re: ghost town

This is a kind of extreme case, but I'm pretty sure the question-asking (or at least answered-question-publishing) rate has gone down significantly over the past year or so. I have no idea why. It looks like questions up to 90715 have been asked (90715 gives me "you can't see this" and 907...

I usually don't use the green thumbs all that much, but I logged in to the Board on a campus computer specifically so I could upvote guppy's answer.

I'm with Ardilla - I love the maze that is the HFAC, if only because it's the best place on campus to play sardines. It makes complete sense from a functional perspective to replace it, but it's still a shame to lose something so unique.

Salt Lake City, India

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/90485/

Just hours after I saw this answer, my International City Planning class did a case study involving the construction of the Kolkata metro line running through Bidhannagar / Salt Lake. I'll accept that as my top coincidence of the day.

Re: Work work work

My level of satisfaction depends pretty heavily on my level of responsibility. If I'm just doing other people's projects, things get very dull very quickly. Taking the lead on something, even something small and insignificant, tends to help me quite a bit.

First piece of news you remember

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/90139/ because I'm too lazy to format a fancy link I was born in 1990. The first piece of news I remember having some sort of exposure to was the Clinton vs. Dole election in 1996. The first pieces of news I distinctly remember reading or hearing about from the medi...

Re: Rant of the Day

This past month has sucked. Let me count the reasons why. 1. My wife lost her job working remotely for a company in Utah, and had to take a retail job because that's what was hiring immediately, so now she works more hours for less money. 2. I applied for my dream internship doing affordable housing...

https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/90035/ Posting physical requirements on a dating profile is, in my opinion, tacky across the board. You're an adult. Take some personal responsibility for your selections and don't make other people do all the work for you. It makes you come across as shallow. That...

sandwich alignment

Link . I'm a structural rebel and ingredient purist, although I could probably live with being a true neutral too. I'd just go for structural rebel and ingredient neutral, but calling a burrito a sandwich is just a bridge too far. As for Zed's argument, an ice cream sandwich is a sandwich in the sa...

Re: Passive Aggressive call to repentence

Okay then. That question already rubbed me the wrong way. The fact that he asked it in a place where you were obviously going to see it makes it a million times worse.

If it sounded like I was passing judgment on the other forum, I am sorry.

Re: 13 Reasons Why, et al.

My wife watched the whole show. I saw maybe a third of the episodes, and I've read the full plot summary. While I appreciate that it is clearly trying to have a positive impact, there are some issues that really worry me. First and foremost is that it's basically playing out the ultimate teenage sui...

Re: We need to pressure young LDS women more about marriage.

We got this question at the same time as four others (89208-89212; two of them still haven't been published) which I assume are all from the same person, and from reading all five of them it seems like either he's a sincere Mormon Red Pill MRA white nationalist, or he turned the satire up to 11 and ...
