    Not sure what is satire anymore.

    The Supremes

    This is something UCLA was willing to do, but I don't think it works for Ivy league for the same reason Berkeley has been fighting it. It is part of their business model to recruit donors via their children.

    The Supremes

    This is basically what happened at UCLA when the UC system went race-neutral. They just used other information to get back to similar racial demographics. Which is probably more in line with the goals of AA admissions anyway. Also, this case doesn't require race-blind or eliminate AA admissions anyway. Texas's admission process is still legal after this case.
  4. This is just wrong. Juneteenth was 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the actual enforcement of such after the theater of war in the Mississippi Basin/ Galveston ended. The 13th amendment was after Juneteenth and did effectively free slaves. Delaware and Kentucky never abolished slavery at the state level and it was still practiced there until the passing of the 13th amendment. It really makes zero sense as a national holiday.
  5. Actually, you are 7x more likely to be killed by yourself. ....But not if you get him first.
  6. I think people overestimate how much we will ever be able to "trust" AI. Engineers have being using computer models to do most of their math for years and some of this is still true for those programs. There's known (albeit uncommon) issues that have persisted for years. Some of which have lead to disastrous results.
  7. I dunno man, many things to varying degrees. One that wants to start a family while she is still in her 20s, wanting to settle down, willing to relocate for her husband's career, cares about domestic matters even if they are split (childrens education, cleaning, cooking healthy food)...there's probably a million more, not all being necessary. But most importantly one that stays off social media 😉.
  8. Forgot what I came to say. As far as passport bro goes, my wife was an American when I met her (and we dated for a while until I even knew she wasn't born here), but I definitely understand the draw of wanting a traditional-minded woman and how American pop culture is against that. However, I think a lot of that is driven more by media, "content," and algorithm than it is true. On both fronts - America is more traditional than media paints it and people traveling to find a women doing it for the media.
  9. I've been married for longer than I can remember, but here's my take on a lot of this: The 80/20 stat are matches from dating apps. Which has little to do with overall sex or dating. I can't remember if that particular stat comes from OK Cupid or Tinder. In general, dating apps suck for men who are average-to-below and ugly women, but that's an incredibly small slice of the pie. From personal experience, "game" or lack thereof has little to do with picking a woman up. Women are receptive to men they find physically attractive regardless. As much as the stammering, awkward male trying to talk to a woman is a trope in popular media, you usually find the opposite to be more true. Women absolutely swoon when attractive man initiates with them.
  10. Generally, you can trademark something with a name but can't enforce that trademark against someone who just happens to share the same name. One can always use their own personal name regardless. But this trademark is attempting this with a specific person in mind, so this immediately goes to NIL and the right to publicity. Doesn't seem like it would be allowed for the same reason one wouldn't be able to trademark Ryan Reynold's Rum.
  11. Didn't see this yet: https://www.legaldive.com/news/chatgpt-fake-legal-cases-generative-ai-hallucinations/651557/ ---- Excerpt: However, Judge P. Kevin Castel wrote in an early May order regarding the plaintiff’s filing that “six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations.” He called it “an unprecedented circumstance.” In his affidavit filed later in May, Schwartz said that ChatGPT not only provided the legal sources, but assured him of the reliability of the opinions and citation that the court has called into question. For example, a document attached to his affidavit indicates he asked the generative AI-powered ChatGPT if one of the six cases the judge has called bogus was real and the chatbot responded that it was. Additionally, he asked ChatGPT if the other cases provided were fake. The chatbot responded that they were also real and “can be found in reputable legal databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw.” Schwartz acknowledged in the affidavit that his source for the legal opinions “has revealed itself to be unreliable.” Schwartz’s mistakes resulted in a story published on the front page of The New York Times, and a judge has scheduled a hearing in the coming weeks to determine possible sanctions.
  12. Which is kind of why I worded it the way I did. They pay some based on non-exempt revenue (like from hosting a semipro or PGA tourney) over a certain limit. Churches would also, but most churches don"t have that kind of side hustle.
  13. Depends on the structure but generally no the way you are using the term. For example, River Oaks doesn't pay property taxes.
  14. Social clubs don't pay taxes either.
  15. HUD tracks this stuff: - 582,462 people experiencing homelessness in January 2022. (this was the peak for the year). - 127,705 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness in 2022 Chronic homelessness is spending one year homeless or being homeless 4 times in 3 years. https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUD-PIT-by-the-numbers.pdf Almost all economic categories are deceptive like this. Part of it is because the language we use. "The homeless population" is less like a group of people and something more like a categorical instance of people.
  16. It is this. 400-500k of those homeless won't be homeless in a year or two. We actually do a decent job turning homeless people into not-homeless people (thanks in no small part to christian-lead charities and initiatives). The growing homeless population has more to do with the next wave being larger than the last than it does with chronic homelessness.
  17. At least one poster here seems convinced everyone sees the same posts. As if the entire world cares about, *checks feed* which SEC team has the best throwback logo (It's USCe). In summary: - Doesn't know there's a share button. TBF this might be called something else on iPhone. - Doesn't know what "training the algorithm" means. - Doesn't know what "rage-posting" means. - Wonders why he sees "racist and incel" content on Twitter.
  18. Yeah. Thought that would be obvious. You click something and you get more of it. I'm pretty sure the share button is one the worst to press in that regard.
  19. Well it is a little political now:
  20. Mine honestly hasn't changed one bit. My feed right now is Dan Casey breaking down Yeoman's Triple Option. Followed by Blake Gideon tweeting about Diggs. An ad for reading glasses, Bijan, JPA Football, PFF, HayesFawcett. The people seeking out stuff to rage post here are literally training the algorithm to keep sending them stuff like that.
  21. These WRs are going to be good. I forgot how fast X and JW after the catch.
  22. Nice snag by AD.
  23. I dunno if he got it but that was a nice run by Red.
  24. Landwehr should starts.
  25. OL has looked meh up until this goal-to-go series. Good push when it matters.
