Court wizards got their bachelor’s degree from the College of Winterhold, the college members are advanced research fellows who aren’t quite yet leading scholars.

That’s only if you go from non-tire-money to tire-money. And even if you’re mainly just paying for basic maintenance stuff, if you’ve reached the point where you can buy new tires, or braces for your kids, or a new roof, etc, without even thinking to check your bank account, you’ll be living life without the financial stress that 90% of people have.

That’s interesting. Is Zeke also Native American?

I would support this because if it’s trans then it circles back around to being straight.

I haven’t watched the episodes yet, but I think it would be really cool if this ends up being the way the world finally reaches balance. If we go back to the idea of yin and yang that I think the first series followed a bit better, each avatar can have the respective dark and light spirit, and initially the two would conflict, but ultimately they can find compromise and harmony with one another.

Until now, the story of the avatars has always been each avatar fixes the previous avatar’s mistake but creates a new problem for the next avatar. Maybe with two equal but opposites, they keep each other in check and the world finally settled into an equilibrium.

Strong men create hard times and all that.

Sometimes I forget that my parents might have had my teacher’s phone number but that was it. Even in the 2000’s, texting was possible but it wasn’t part of the culture. You contacted a teacher only if there was something so serious it couldn’t wait until the next PT meeting.

More like the Fake News Embassy am I right?

ChristianRecon

Yeah I guess it’s slowly being walked back generally, which I am grateful for, though I’m not a Trump supporter.

I’m sorry, is it not true that many colleges, companies, and scholarships have diversity quotas to fill, resulting in hiring more people of diverse backgrounds and be necessity hiring fewer people that do not contribute towards the quota?

ChristianRecon

The previous person was asking for examples, I gave examples. You can mock me for it, and I’m sure you’ll receive reinforcement for it because it’s socially acceptable, whereas if we were talking about how Asians are disadvantaged by these systems as well this conversation would go in an entirely different direction.

ChristianRecon

When applying for scholarships, or anything that has a DEI quota encouraging disproportionate hiring of minorities, ultimately at the expense of anyone who doesn’t contribute towards the quota.

ChristianRecon

That’s a fair point.

ChristianRecon

Yeah at that point it’s not even about representing minorities, just her specific race.

Matt’s from BB25 was the worst I’ve ever seen.

Drew probably would have won it if it weren’t for Devens’ survivor fan base, but Devens would still be in at least top 3.

ChristianRecon

He’s joined RHAP’s live feed updates occasionally.

Who is Morgan biased against?

ChristianRecon

I wouldn’t be surprised if Angela has been in Lala’s ear about Melody the same way she was in Haley and Dee’s ear about Drew.

ChristianRecon

She just cycled between different objects of her paranoid fixations, and because she was in the dominant alliance the rest of the house bent-over backwards to appease her.

I grew up watching Big Brother, but got into it again with seasons 25, 27, and 28. Each one has been special for its own reasons.

Of these three 25 had my absolute favorite player in Cory Wurtenberger. The double eviction he ran was amazing tv that hasn’t been topped since. It’s what got me into the live feeds and which let me appreciate the show on a whole different level.

27 was the first season I was really dialed into from the start and really allowed me to dive into the strategy of the show. Unfortunately, the white lotus killed it and I stopped watching after that, but I was really proud when my BB draft pick, Ashley, won it all.

I have conflicting feelings about 28. I’ve been really frustrated with the unfair advantages the icons were given, and it was disappointing watching them steamroll through the whole prejury phase. That said, this season has been filled with likeable players. Maybe because of the icons, everybody else becomes an underdog of sorts. In any case, this season is the only of the three to sustain my interest the entire time and for that reason it is my favorite overall.

ChristianRecon

I’m trying to put my finger on why I didn’t like Vinny’s weasel game and I think it’s just that it lacked nuance. It was simply, promise everything to everyone always, and hope people don’t compare notes.

ChristianRecon

If Drew loses to Devens 7-0, good on him. He made the move that pretty much guaranteed him at least second place.

ChristianRecon

As of this morning we weren’t really sure but I guess at some point today there was solid evidence he was evicting Dee.

ChristianRecon

Yeah but now to cut Devens he has to beat him in the final 3.
