I watch her speak and she is a dumb bartender bimbo compared to Boebert? MTG? both are ruthless, dishonest opportunists. Vocabulary is the most obvious measure of intelligence and education. They're both dimwits. but dimwits are appealing to dimwits. Birds of a feather....

Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Since Taylor has morphed into AOC, this seems appropriate https://finance.yahoo.com/news/much-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-worth-164632205.html

Capco Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) 2 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: I've been giving this some thought. The average SAT score to get into a good engineering school is about 1200. Half of that is verbal. Therefore, the applicant should have already shown verbal proficiency in order to get accepted. It should have been honed in college. If not, that's on the school. They shouldn't be graduating students who can't write or speak well. I agree that Engineering majors are often very different thinkers than pure science or arts majors. Clarkson was just up the road from St Lawrence. Very different culture and skill set; very different people. But every college grad should have facility with the English language imo... I got a 1270 on my SAT, of which 590 was the verbal score. But if I showed you some of my writing from when I was 17, then you'd probably be appalled (and it's okay if so, because I definitely am lol). I'm autistic and wasn't even diagnosed until after I finished my undergrad (partly because I am deceptively high-functioning, especially on things like standardized tests). One of the definitive symptoms of autism is basically being socially and verbally 'tarded, so my communication skills while growing up were below average. Because I was undiagnosed, I never received support for my special needs in my youth. This even screwed me out of advanced-placement classes on three separate occasions, going all the way back to first grade (and I still remember that first doubter's name, too: Mrs. Blackburn ). In addition, some of my greatest insights into writing didn't even come from English class. For example, learning beginner-level communication in a new language actually helped me write more fluently in English at the intermediate level. English is a messy, hodgepodge language, and there are many ways to communicate verbally that can be readily understood by a native listener, but aren't correct in writing. Many of these bad habits were so second-nature that I didn't even notice them. My eureka moment in English actually came from a rudimentary exposure to the comparatively well-defined and logical structure of French. Up until then, I was convinced that I'd never be a good writer. But then I realized that writing is a lot like math; since I was already good at math, I could also be good at writing! In summary, I think communication skills take time. They need to be nurtured and cultivated. Some take longer than others to blossom. Setting specific standards that must be met after so many revolutions around the sun is arbitrarily unfair to those who might fall far from the standard mold, like I did. I still know I can do better and am constantly trying to improve. I think that brevity might be a good place to start, don't you? 🤣 PS - Up to 40% of my ChemE class were not native English speakers. Their writing was usually atrocious (like worse than Google translate at the time), and most if not all of them still got their degrees. Edited February 1 by Capco 3

It's not a bad thing, it's just humorous if you understand the underlying dynamics like @Roundybout presumably does. She was one of the people who came to college more for the parties than for the learning. Her friends and her got shooed out because she admitted that they were used to Capen Library, and Capen is the Wild Wild West compared to the law library. You can't just mosey around giggling loudly in the law library without at least getting a dirty look from some gassed law student on their fourth 5-hour energy shot of the morning, as she quickly found out. Her looks are completely irrelevant, but I didn't find her physically attractive. In addition, the school spirit types just have a different kind of peppy energy that I don't match well with. I like the quiet, shy, nerdy types with big hearts and fat cats. Edited February 1 by Capco

US Egg Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Forget Taylor Swift. These are the kind of “women” that better represent Democrats:

Roundybout Posted February 1 Posted February 1 13 hours ago, Capco said: Congrats on your marriage! What kind of law does she practice? I'm actually a student at the law school now (aiming for patent law myself) and I know exactly what you mean about Lockwood being a good place to study. As an undergrad, I distinctly remember when our tour group walked by the law library and the student guide said: "So this is the law library. It's a bit quieter than Capen... (smirks). Like, one time my friends and I went to check it out and we got shooed away by the law students who were studying... so umm, yeah they're a bit more serious here. Enter at your own risk." She was definitely one of the pep-rally/school spirit/sorority types fwiw 🤣 No kidding! Thats awesome. Best of luck in your studies. When my wife started her internships she got into malpractice law, but she actually ended up in housing and property law. I used the law library a couple times when I took a property law course for my masters, and yeah I thought it was a bizarre layout. My wife usually studied on one of the top floors in O’Brien which was off limits to anyone without a swipe card (coincidentally a great place to make out too, but I digress…) 1

Tommy Callahan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Meh. Aoc and others wouldn't even be in office outside the district is very non diverse. Like 90% Dems. Trolls attack the messenger case they can't argue the narrative.
HomeskillitMoorman Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) 15 hours ago, FilthyBeast said: I didn't want to touch this topic in another thread on the main football forum.....but let's look at the facts here around Taylor Swift and the NFL script: - Chiefs play lousy football all year up until the playoffs. Almost like they barely tried because they knew the obvious script well beforehand. - Kelce comes out as a vocal proud endorser of the covid vaccine bull####. - Not long after enter Taylor Swift, because Kelce said he would love to meet her someday - Predictable boring relationship takes shape, we see Swift attending Chiefs games regularly but apparently they don't even follow eachother on social media. - Chiefs magically look like a different team in the playoffs as Swift mania ramps up even more - NFL viewership through the roof since Swift/Kelce became a thing - Rumors circulating that Swift is going to endorse Joe Biden (or more likely Big Mike Obama after he/she replaces Biden on the D ticket) very soon - Chiefs inevitably win their 3rd superbowl in front of millions world wide next week and Swift will be on the field front and center celebrating with the team. I mean, call me a conspiracy theorist but does anyone else not see through this scripted bull####? Also how convenient is it going to be when we here about Kelce and Swift 'calling it quits' not long after the superbowl....I guess that will just be another coincidence too? Dude this is stupid to be honest. Do I think the league can influence refs? Sure. But players and coaches and staff are not tanking games to "follow a script". There are players and coaches that depend on evaluations of their play for the next personal contracts and careers, etc. On many of the lower levels, there are people that are not even being paid a lot. And guys who get cut, are fringe NFL players. Players/athletes/celebrities will endorse just about anything for money. This is nothing new. They take multi-million dollar endorsements from companies that put little kids to work in sweatshops. How is that not even worse than what Kelce's endorsing? The Patriots had many seasons where they looked ordinary during a good chunk of the regular season and turned it up at the end and postseason. So many times they went through the same thing where people said they were done and finished. Were the Bills losing on purpose so they could script an end of the season run? And the big one...celebrity endorsements for political office have NEVER been impactful. People historically do not vote for a candidate in any office because of what celebrities preach. Joe Rogan, who has a gazillion followers, backed a Libertarian last election and Bernie the election before....what did that do? Right-wing people to me are an embarrassment to real conspiracy theorists who actually theorize about something that makes some kind of sense in any kind of way. The motives themselves here don't even add up to begin with. Edited February 1 by HomeskillitMoorman 1
