While we're on the subject of Ohio, the city of Columbus has been running an ad campaign in Chicago to try to convince hip young people to move to Columbus. To this end they run ads with pics of cool millennials having fun in Columbus. The people in the pics always have one thing in common and I'm sure you'll never guess what it is...

At least they don't look like the old campus materials for OSU. poo poo looked like a Burger King Kids Klub. I am 100% for cultural diversity, but these were like, thirty different white actors, and then the same black male, asian female, and white girl in a wheel-chair in each and every one. If you're going to put in the effort to try to pretend that you care about the entire student body, why not, y'know, actually involve the whole student body, representatively?

EDIT: Ohio is bad at Cultural Competency, is what I am saying.

I don't think ad campaigns are really representative. Columbus metro is as close to representative of national demographics as you can get and has a thriving lesbian/gay community. Also has large Italian, German, Somalian, and Greek pockets.

Also Columbus isn't so much trying to poach white people from Chicago as they are tech workers.

Once I had to use vacation days to visit my bf's family in Lakeside, Ohio, a.k.a. the whitest place on earth. There were these weird insects called Canadian soldiers everywhere, and it was incredibly gross. They apparently only live for a couple days, so you'd have live ones crawling all over everything while crunching on piles of dead ones everywhere you walked

Also I accidentally bought a bottle of "Diluted Vodka" from a store in Ohio. I didn't even know there was such a thing

To weed out the weak, and the wounded.

Seriously, you can remember 'em just by some simple facts:

Cleveland- The Mistake On The Lake. National Exporter Of Sadness and Crippling Depression. Not Detroit, We Promise. The River Hasn't Caught Fire Recently. Home Of The Browns, The Indians, and the Cavs. We've Been Too Sad To Riot For More Than A Decade. Northern Center Of State

Columbus- THE Ohio State University. Seriously There Are People Who Will Tell You That There Are Things About Columbus's Culture Other Than OSU and Buckeye Football, But They Are loving Liars. We Haven't Had A Multi-Million Dollar Riot Over Winning a College Football Game In More Than Ten Years. Dead Center Of State.

Cincinnati- Not Kentucky We Swear. Bengals Football. Reds Baseball. More Germanic Beer Than You Can Shake A Stick At. We Haven't Had Race Riots For Nearly A Decade. South Tip Of State. Harambe Died Here.

Megis county is a shithole. Though, so is most of Athens County. (Also: Slouvakis better than O'Bettys for afterbar, but in the afternoon...oh man give me a red hot).

I was a grad student at OU, and one of the jobs grad students had in my department was we would drive speakers for our conference from Port of Columbus (lol) International Airport down to Athens for the conference. It was a pretty sweet gig. Take your car up to C-bus, pick up some really big name in the field, and ride with them down to Athens chatting the whole way. Most students wanted the big wigs to get in late though, because if you were driving them down to Athens during the day, you would end up driving through Nelsonville and it's post-Civil War yet not Reconstructed South vibe would wash over the conversation, and you'd have like twenty minutes of awkward silence as the speaker tried to figure out just where in the hell their lives went wrong to bring them to that part of the world.

Depends on how much you go with the Letter of James or the letters of Paul. Paul was really big on grace. James outright said 'Faith without works is a dead thing.'

I think Paul was along the same lines, he just had to bash the Jews of the time over the head with the idea that the law couldn't save, it could only condemn. He had a few things to say about those who figured that "heck, grace saved me so I can do whatever I want".

Either way, you need to live up to your convictions.

So I just got back from training to be a poll worker in Texas, and I think I was the only one under 65 in the room. There was also maybe one non-white person.

And we still got a question about what to do about the "illegals" in case they try to vote. I felt bad for the training people from the elections commission, but they did their best to shut them down and ignore their stupid rear end questions.

Also, there are like 24 different forms you have to fill out to do basically anything. Don't make more work for your poll people, goons!
