@kannnnnette I'm actually having a hard time figuring out the level of performative where you know the flutes, the name, but not his face

something about white people using adjectives like “andre 3000-esque” and not even being able to recognize andre 3000, rlly doesnt sit right with my spirit. rlly hated this ❤️

lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000” we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was compliment people, you never know where it may lead

@Born_Stellar101 @HomerPavlos So if Greece were to retake Anatolia and dismantle the mosques the Turks built on the occupied lands, it would be immoral? Because that's what Spain did. The Mohammedans built mosques over churches, the Spanish simply took them back.

The conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque and Muslims praying in a building that does not belong to their historical or civilizational heritage, is the clearest proof that Islam is a barbaric religion that does not create, but only conquers and destroys.

@buddhaumd @GAMQ_1 @KLF And the top investment banks, consultancies, engineering firms, F500 companies, etc. come ON CAMPUS to Ivy League schools every year to recruit freshmen and sophomores…what’s special to HPU is just another day at America’s top liberal arts schools. It’s incomparable

@traebuche @GAMQ_1 @KLF I did, because you are a clown and your post was 😂 to me.

Y'all are dunking on High Point University, but odds are most of you wouldn’t know what to do with yourselves if you wound up at dinner with a Fortune 10 CEO, elected official, or foreign dignitary. “Be yourself” only gets you so far.

High Point University in NC, which beat Wisconsin in basketball today, conducts campus tours on golf carts, offers wealthy students private housing for $40,000 per year and built an "airplane-cabin interior" so that students could rehearse sitting next to an executive on a plane.

@wil_da_beast630 The social worlds at non-Cornell Ivy League schools are completely different from those at big state schools, no matter how great they might be. It’s a completely different culture, a different community, and different network.
Numbers don’t always catch everything

@traebuche I literally have this data in front of me right now.

There actually is a serious point to be made re this "Big 10 vs lower Ivies" hoops debate - and the point is about obsessive neuroticism.
In reality, if your kid goes to B-school or honors undergraduate at Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan, Purdon't, U-Chicago (!), Wash-U, etc, their life will be at most 2-3% different from what it would be if they went to (Brown).
And, Hell - if you want an Ivy THAT much, don't slave your whole young life away...just lie and say you're an Eskimo!
Of all the ways you can spend your time, obsessive focus on status markers that almost do not matter at all - and which can often be as easily obtained with game as with agony - strikes me as one of the saddest and most useless.

@JaleneCooke @AnAppealTo @anymanfitness Physics precedes biology. You keep throwing around “basic biology” but it is literally, physically impossible to gain weight while on a true caloric deficit. Mass can’t just be created
English
@AnAppealTo @anymanfitness Then get yourself to a library and read up on basic biology.
English
No you didn’t.
You probably think you did.
But you didn’t.
If you truly did, go to the hospital immediately, something is very wrong.

$5,000/month USD is around $155,000/month in Thailand.
That’s luxury condo, daily massages, great food, zero stress.
You’re not rich in the West…
but you live like a king in Thailand.
Now you understand why people are moving there.

@EudaimoniaEsq @BaronVonNemo The pizzas are gross but the bagels are valid

@BaronVonNemo I don’t get the bagel thing. I don’t get the bodega thing. I *somewhat* get the pizza thing.

I maintain that the single most insufferable thing about New Yorkers is that they bewilderingly try to claim everything. This transcends politics—all New Yorkers do this. Yes, everyone has coffee. Everyone has convenience stores (nicer than your “bodegas”). Everyone has what you have and it’s usually cleaner and cheaper!

@buddhaumd @GAMQ_1 @KLF Brother, I’d bet there are more Wall Street guys from UT Austin’s English Literature department than there are from HPU. It’s a school for the kids of car dealership owners and locally successful real estate agents.

@drantbradley St. Thomas is thought of as a good school and the acceptance rate is around 90%.

Their acceptance rate is 75%. One might conjecture that their niche is rich kids who could not get into Duke or UNC. Or Clemson, etc.

High Point University prides itself on preparing students for the rigors of a career. Servers at its steakhouse coach the young diners on body language, professional attire and which fork to use. The college has become a favorite of affluent families. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4bZN0EP

High Point actually is a crazy school because it almost exclusively caters to the rich and the rich children of business CEOs and so far it's been a near flawless strategy

@TheBronxPulse @eta_ny Those people already walk between cars on the existing sketchy connections anyway, it’s the normal people too afraid to do that currently. Walkthrough cars make it safer for normal people to get away from the weirdos

@eta_ny How are they safer when the mentally ill will be able to go to through each car harassing and assaulting passengers?

While it's exciting that the MTA is ordering new trains, there is no excuse not to buy all of them as walk-through (open-gangway) cars.
Walk-through cars are the standard worldwide: they're not only higher capacity, but safer.

@SoCalValleyGal @California_Derp @NYPostOpinion Almost certainly yes — it’s supposed to be a wild life habitat lol. Go onto your backyard and see just how much dirt and plants you have. Or a zoo.
