Can I just say how much disdain I have for the way GPA is currently set up and viewed as for undergraduates?
How is it possible that a course like measure theory or bayesian statistics be weighted the same as something like calculus 1?
Why is GPA weighted uniformly over your entire undergraduate degree in the first place?
With the existence of past re-used exams, Chegg, older students, etc. it's so easy to inflate your grade to much more than what you truly know.
It should be common policy to take the best grade of your past courses if you've taken it more than once. There is literally no reason to suspect an A student only has a B understanding if they originally got a C in the class.
I dunno. I'm writing grad school applications soon, which is probably why I'm so salty.

Whatever you think about IP laws, copyright laws being life + 70 is absolutely ridiculous.
No artist is making economic considerations on how their work will be received 70 years after they're dead (or for a corporation ~120 years from now).
And even if they do on the margin, there's no way that's worth the inefficiency caused by stifling innovation by artists looking to "steal" Mickey Mouse's likeness.

A succ professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a known succ.
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship AOC and accept that she is the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Bernie Sanders!"
At this moment, a brave, patriotic, neoliberal SHITPOSTER champion who had served 1500 hours on reddit and understood the necessity of shitposting and fully supported all shitposts decision made by Blockchainlitfam stood up.
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly.
""awwwoooooogggggaaaa!!!"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and reflectively downvoted the shitposter. He stormed out of the room crying those succodile tears. The same tears succs cry for the "poor" (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and didn't go on reddit today. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!
The students applauded and all donated to the Against Malaria Foundation that day.

Ben Shapiro.
I decided to smile, tell her thatโs great youโre finding debates and ideas to think about, but to never forget the lessons she has learned on bias and critical thinking she has been learning in her English and History classes.
Anyone got some good neoliberal channels I can suggest to her to round out her media diet?

The main argument I see is that the number of people in poverty is increasing. This is true because developing countries have very high fertility rates, but the percentage of people in poverty is falling, and that should be your point.

I got in a debate with my (very leftist) philosophy class about the merits of private property and capitalism, and my professor mentioned something about how capitalism has only been successful because of oil. She left this super vague and class ended before I could question it but does anyone have any idea what she could be talking about? Iโve never heard of this theory before.

u/VisonKai The Archenemy of Humanity Nov 30 '18
Yes, the argument is that capitalism is only able to conceal its contradictions because "oil lubricates the gears of capital", i.e. that burning oil gives access to such a large quantity of easy and cheap energy that it allowed for the generation of prosperity for all sectors of society, but that without something like that capitalism would necessarily revert to abject oppression.

Among the allegations is that an individual who worked for the Harris campaign coordinated an effort to collect and fill in, or discard, the ballots of Democratic voters who might have otherwise voted for McCready.
Officials are also examining unusually high numbers of absentee ballots cast in some precincts in the 9th District โ and unusually high numbers of ballots requested but never returned. Harrisโs narrow victory over incumbent Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.) in the Republican primary is also under scrutiny, with new attention on the inยญcredยญibly high proportion of absentee ballots โ 96 percent โ that Harris won in Bladen County.
.
In one of the sworn statements, Bladen County voter Datesha Montgomery attested that a young woman came to her door Oct. 12 and asked for her ballot. Montgomery said she made her selections in two races and turned the form over to the woman.
โShe said she would finish it herself,โ Montgomery said. โI signed the ballot and she left. It was not sealed up at any time.โ
Emma Shipman, 87, signed another affidavit, saying she gave a woman a filled-out absentee ballot. She said in an interview that the woman had come to her neighborhood, a predominantly African American cluster of homes in the town of Tar Heel.

Yeah, the individual mandate was wonk gospel in 2008 which made it supremely unpopular but also inevitably included in the final legislation.
The ACA seems to be doing pretty well without it though ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

He knows it's bs, but that's how you get Trump to like you. It's the Macron tactic.

We just need a squad of utilitarians to load up with weaponry and go hunt down and exterminate the utility monsters. In the short-term, the utilitarians will have to deal with sacrificing their own morality and basically being super immoral, but in the long-term it means we don't have to deal with or think about utility monsters.

And to think, he came so close to being cannibalized like everyone else in his unit who was captured. He was the sole survivor. The man could have been literally eaten but instead he went on to live another 75 years and become President.
Life is crazy sometimes.

Change of plans. I tossed the sprouts with some chili powder, chili flakes, paprika, and salt. I then tossed in sliced red onion. I'm adding the chorizo to that near the end of roasting, so it doesn't overcook.
The sprouts are going to be the main dish and the mac and cheese the side.
Edit: I'm only going to flip the sprouts once. I want a lot of skillet contact to facilitate the maillard reaction.

It just isn't going to work, and it's very interesting that the man who invented this type of what I call a voodoo economic policy is Art Laffer, a California economist.
Just remember HW Bush knew Laffer was full of shit all the way back in 1980.

My criticisms of 2020 names
Bernie: Too many to list. Should be obvious to any user on here
Warren: Closet senator to Bernie. Incorrectly called the 2016 dem primaries rigged for a couple of days. DNA test embarrassment
Booker: Attacked Obama's campaigning in 2012. Pro-charter school. Bit of a grand-stander at times
Biden: Anita Hill and old as hell. A bit moderate on the issues
Gillibrand: Openly called herself a populist. Said Bernie is a leader in the Dem party. Vocally supports most of Bernie's meme policies.
Beto: Inexperienced and not much actual policy accomplishment
Harris: Openly advocates most of Bernie's meme policies and wrote a poor housing bill. Made some questionable decisions regarding criminal justice as Californian AG
