  1. This seems silly to me
  2. Had I not deliberately knocked out some letters in my second guess to eliminate a bunch of other words instead of going for the solve in 3 it would have taken 6.
  3. If he did, he’s honestly not a bad writer. It reads like something a grad student would write in a Dona Tartt novel.
  4. I mean it is a word, but come the fuck on

  7. Jerry Clower, my favorite comedian of all time (along with Richard Pryor and Norm MacDonald) did the best version of that bit, and I think it was because as a devout Christian he took Christ’s gospel more seriously than his own blind spots and social pressure and talked about Godliness even in jest he did it like a preacher. So when he did that bit he was very clearly castigating the ignorance and shortsightedness of a large part of own audience. And they knew it, and he knew they knew it. by the way, you can develop a fair impression of Jerry Clower by mastering the following phrases: ”Newgene Ledbetter” ”Marcel” “Liberty, Mississippi” ”projected, and predicted” ”AAAAGH, this things killin’ me!” ”Super-dyna-whoppin’, mo-jo-doola, whim-diddley hotel”

  9. Then it was elite in every way that matters. “Selectivity” is a meaningless artifact of the admissions process.
  10. That last part is false. It’s a mathematical impossibility that most of the top Texas kids went elsewhere. It’s also demonstrably false based on the prominence of UT alumni. What is true is that UT once had room for above average and good students, but does not anymore because of population growth. Nevetheless UT the institution is and was elite. Really silly to pretend otherwise.
  11. In high school? Oh, hell no. High school education has generally declined in rigor and relevance for decades. The majority of our parents generation were adequately prepared for most entry level roles needed in the workforce when they left high school. Most high school graduates today aren’t ready for that, or even the attenuated and irrelevant educational experience of today’s mainstream college classroom and spend the first 3 semesters or so in dressed up remedial classes. I disagree. I think what regular people, white and otherwise, got was sort of a pale imitation of those opportunities, purpose built to put them six figures in the hole and chain them to the wheel at 22. Meanwhile, the actual opportunity ladders for regular people were knocked down and broken up. A vital progressive movement would correctly understand that as a declining middle class standard of living. In the last 50 years the number of dual income houses has roughly doubled but their inflation adjusted income has stayed roughly the same, even while their debt increased radically and the cost of education exploded. But because progressivism is a dead ideology intellectually dominated by privileged navel gazers and bullshit artists, Democrats are genuinely confused about why they are losing the working and middle class.
  12. UT is an elite institution and was then too. Surprised I have to remind people, here of all places.
  13. That’s the point - most schools and most programs and in most places doesn’t do the other stuff and the educational product is useless. It’s just a sad, low grade imitation of the least valuable parts of attending elite universities, because the most valuable part can’t be imitated. One of the central failures of the progressive movement was to put their efforts not into ensuring that public high schools produced workforce ready graduates, but rather into making it easier for working and middle class people kids with no particular academic interests to go six figures in the hole so someone could tell them to read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
  14. Weird it’s like you agreed with me completely without knowing it.
  15. Probably, but I don’t think most people who are not MAGA themselves understand how little visibility MAGA has to information about Trump and what he’s actually doing and done. But they know a lot about the Epstein thing. And they care about it.
  16. Holy shit! Chip Gaines off the top rope!
  17. The mood of the MAGAs has a suddenly violent energy, like the Kafiris who see his blood and realize all at once that Daniel Drevot is not Sikander.

  19. Completely disagree. Most of what families purchase from American Universities is practically useless, or at best anti-climactic, compared to the education delivered at the best and most rigorous public high schools, let alone elite, selective private schools.
  20. Abortions for some, tiny American flags for others!
