    Off-Topic St.Andrews/Now Limestone

    You're correct that it's largely the latter half of Gen X's kids. I think it was a smaller group of people (relative to those before it) having fewer kids. In short, birthrates have been falling for a long time. But it's been since 2007 that birthrates (in the US) have consistently fallen below...

    Off-Topic St.Andrews/Now Limestone

    The biggest driver is the "demographic cliff" where the number of college age folks is declining. You're correct that the problem does not affect all colleges/universities equally, as the top schools continue to be fine and less expensive colleges (and online schools) tend to still attract...

    Off-Topic Favorite SNL skits thread

    In those skits, yes. Actually, I like Kenan overall. He's not the funniest cast member, but he's consistently a part of really funny skits. In the 2 Washington's Dream skits, I think Kenan repeatedly asking about the fate of black slaves while Washington prattles on is the only funny parts.

    Off-Topic Favorite SNL skits thread

    It's always interesting when everyone else seems to find a sketch hilarious and you do not. I know folks really like this one (and the sequel), but I find them both to be simply dull and extremely tedious (except for Kenan, he is hilarious).

    Yet another situation and subject you completely fail to understand. I'd say I'm surprised, but it's perfectly predictable.

    Off-Topic University of Idaho murders

    That is one of the bigger mysteries of the case...why did the surviving roommates not contact anyone until hours and hours after the attack occurred. If law enforcement/attorneys know the answer to that question, I don't think it's even come close to being made public. I'm hopeful that after...

    Politics U.S. Budget | OBBB Signed into law

    I enforced the rules against bigotry and trolling...but you're correct that the majority of bigots and trolls were conservative. But, yes, your stance about folks being "weak and fragile" are certainly noted by your continued whining almost a year after my time as a mod on a different board ended.

    Politics U.S. Budget | OBBB Signed into law

    You know you have a good retort when it has nothing to do with the post being replied to and it merely tries to dredge up stupid shit to impugn the other party. It honestly betrays that you do indeed get your political information from right-wing propaganda networks, as it mirrors their m.o...

    Politics Media (Traditional and Social Media) News

    I think the main takeaway from all of this is that journalism is dead. It has been replaced by infotainment, clickbait, propaganda, and profits over reporting. That's not to say that there aren't still some good journalists out there, but the field - as a whole - is dead and will need to be...

    No, he just gets all his "news" from right-wing propaganda networks. As we all know, it makes you less informed than consuming no "news".
