Okay so their big secret is that their admission criteria is mostly test score based.

vanderbilt is now more selective than yale my theory of the increasing popularity of this institution is that it combines elements of ivy plus prestige with the increasing trend toward students opting for southern football schools. also a lot of people love nashville these days

Why is Hinge allowing 4 girls to have a joint account (yes there’s 4 different names on the profile)? And they’re ostensibly looking for guy “friends.”

One of our team just got married today… and still popped online for a bit. Not because anyone asked. Is on fully approved PTO. Just genuinely excited about what they’re building. That kind of ownership is special. Also told them to log off 😁

I will litigate this. Diet Coke is just not the same drink. Coke Zero is regular Coke with no calories

corollary of the "gifted kid burnout" slop is a bunch of downwardly mobile failsons who look back on their bachelors degree as if it was some kind of esoteric trial only they could comprehend

when i was in undergrad the STEM classes were mostly fine. but people in the humanities (e.g. philosophy) classes seemed extraordinarily dumb. i often didnt read assignments or pay attention, but i was consistently the only kid able to carry discussions or answer questions. it was pretty awkward because i'd try to give others a chance so whenever the professors asked a question there would be like 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence and then i'd answer.

$160k-$180k is literally poverty salary in NYC, not top 10%
Matt | The Mini-Retirement Maximalist@TheMattViera
The average rent for a NYC 1-bedroom is $4000 - $4600 Most NYC landlords require your gross annual income to be at least 40 times the monthly rent Required income: $160,000 - $184,000 Living in a NYC 1-bedroom is a luxury reserved for the top 10%

@Ronitper this is true to some extent but maybe just slightly better than normie Americans, not as high ability as the self selected chinese immigrants or chinese americans and their progeny, just baseline for chinese folks. This is just going on my experiences w that community btw

The Rise of Chinese girls in America.
In 2018, Charlie Munger explained why Americans have so many adopted Chinese Girls.
“Every American private school is full of the discarded Chinese girls and they're getting all A's and winning prizes”
Charlie explains why this happened:
“Because there was so much poverty in China and it was so overpopulated, if an American couple who had no child of their own, they could go to China and adopt a poor Chinese girl.”
He makes a very important point:
“So in every important city of America, people soon learned that they got better babies by taking the unwanted Chinese girls from the Chinese farms. Those babies on average worked out better than if they had their own children. So everyone wanted a Chinese girl."
Charlie explained how they are winning in America:
"Every American private school is full of the discarded Chinese girls and they're getting all A's and winning prizes. They're spectacularly successful. You go to Minnesota and see these Chinese girls, they're playing the difficult instruments in the orchestra."

@texual @skylarromines Gotta put food on the table. I think op’s talking about chatting up randoms
English
@skylarromines Sales people and employees whose job it is to talk to strangers to sell stuff or make them sign a petition are ‘good’ at that skill but there’s something socially manipulative about their energy. It always comes across as artificial even if they’re genuinely social people.
English
Realizing how many people just don’t regularly talk to/meet new people.
You need to be starting conversations with strangers with no desired outcome. 90% of the people you meet, you’ll never speak to again. That’s okay. But you may learn something from them. You may teach them something. You may meet someone else through them.
Some people are doors & some people are windows. Some people will have no impact on your life.
But if you’re not saying hi to people, you’re missing out on a lot of life. Keeping your own world small.

Happy SAT day to all who celebrate.
Reminder that a disproportionate number of kids in rich school districts get 1.5x the time that everyone else does.
And everyone in the system is conspiring to keep the numbers non-transparent.
