In reviewing graduate student applicants in the fall of 2020 I came across an outstanding prospect who was a perfect fit for our program. In past years this candidate would have risen immediately to the top of the applicant pool. In 2021, however, I was told informally by a member of the admissions committee that “that” (meaning admitting a white male) was “not happening this year.” In the same year a certifiably brilliant undergraduate I had tutored, who was literally the best student at Harvard—he won the prize for the graduating senior with the best overall academic record—was rejected from all the graduate programs to which he applied. He too was a white male.

Is this the "white privilege" I keep hearing about?

Why even have laws at this point? :dunno:

The safe space applies to "hate" from the right. They thrive on their own hate.

The Left certainly does love creating echo chambers.

This one time, at Somali Gang-Bang Camp...

Why? Iran just declared war on the US, Europe and Israel. Trump's statement is a completely understandable response to a foreign country declaring war on you and your allies.

Ricki Lake had a pretty popular syndicated talk show at the time.

I first started recognizing words around 600-700AD, but it wasn't until ~1000-1100AD until I could make out a full sentence.

My goddaughter did this, she had interned in NYC between her junior and senior year at LSU and was offered a job once she graduated. She loved the energy of the place and the company she went to work for pretty much guaranteed her next job (if she ever left there) would be stellar.

She's not a fan of cold weather, that first year after graduation was one of the coldest in recent NYC history. On top of that, there was a terrorist attack (Muslim rolled up on a sidewalk to take out pedestrians) right in front of her apartment building. After a year of that, she decided that having 2 roommates in a 2BR apartment (the living room served as the 3rd bedroom) and dealing with all that shite wasn't worth it (plus her then-b/f-now-husband was still in Baton Rouge).

She enjoyed a lot of things about her time there, but she enjoyed even more coming back to a place where her paycheck afforded her a house, a car and a much higher standard of living.

AWFLs (Affluent White Female Liberals) will keep doing things like this until there is some sort of serious consequence which becomes likely to be imposed on them.

I am tempted to go to Louisiana Gold & Coin but I am leery of the markup and probably overrun with speculators right now. But who knows, it might be worth the trip.

Go in knowing what the current spot price is and the standard markup for the item(s) you are thinking of buying. If they are too high, just leave. :thup:
