Now I'm sure none of you particularly care about the college world series. I'm only bringing this to your attention because it has to be one of the most soul-crushing championship losses of all time.

The setup: The college world series finals is a best of 3, that pitted Arkansas (who has never won a championship) against Oregon State. Arkansas won the first game, and led most of the second. In the 9th inning, Arkansas leads 3-2 and with two outs and one one base, the Oregon State batter hits a pop up in very-much-playable foul territory and... this happens

http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=23930843

After three guys botch that catch... the next pitch is a base hit that drives in the tying run, and the next batter hits a home run, going up 5-3, and holding on in the 9th to force game 3. Which Oregon State won 5-0 when their freshman starting pitcher went for a complete game 2-hitter, the lowest amount of hits in a complete game in CWS history.

That botched pop-up foul literally cost them the championship. Ouch.

But also Go Beavs!

Is "libertarian" Smuffin claiming you need ICE to secure the border?

Saying "nobody should be undocumented" is implicitly the same thing as saying "zero tolerance for illegal immigration"

I'm sure her position is that she'd be more lenient in who is allowed to come in and how they are treated, but she agrees with the core premise that people should not be allowed to just come in whenever they want. Which is very different from open borders.

I'm always amazed and confused when people online talk about masturbating like 3 times a day, every single day. Or even 2 times a day. Like don't you end up with a super sore wang at some point? You can't take a break for a bit?

The amount of masturbatory blogs muffin feels the need to post here makes me feel the same way

I guess you could have a rule where they ignore the results against the last place team ahead of the fair play rule, but that becomes moot if the last place team is among the tied teams.

Which also goes in Japan's favor in this case, right?

This is only surprising if you think socialists are libertarians for some insane reason (like to justify your rejection of libertarianism to support nationalism instead)

It's less about that and more about the fact that the second this girl achieved some level of national attention, she immediately backed down on her more extreme positions and is quickly retreating to boring establishment stuff.

Just like the tea party!

It's about to be exposed for the cold, hard, race-based discrimination that it is.

You know you're talking about ivy league admissions right?

please

literally every college does this

most white-collar employers do too

any place that has any "diversity" employees/programs of any kind is dedicated entirely to this exact sort of thing
---

SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy
http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/

Yes, that's exactly right. The diversity mindset is one that suggests diversity is so overwhelmingly positive, it overrides all other terminal goals, such as merit-based admissions. The university therefore solves for what it sees as the desirable end-state, which is a very diverse class. It's not that they hate Asians with a passion and want a class with zero Asians, they just want more diversity than merit would provide them on its own. Particularly, merit-based admissions would see them with far too few blacks and hispanics to suit their diversity preferences.

Since we're dealing with a finite good and there are only so many spots, the only way they can increase black and hispanic students is by decreasing asian (and white) students. And they can't do that based on objective criteria such as test scores and GPA, so all that's left is for them to invent 100% subjective criteria whose sole purpose is to judge positively otherwise unqualified blacks/hispanics, and judge negatively otherwise qualified asians/whites. So what we're left with is a "personality assessment" that inevitably concludes that blacks have, on average, significantly "better personalities" than Asians. And now Harvard has to defend this - or admit that it's gaming the system for the sole purpose of admitting more blacks and fewer Asians.

There's another longer discussion regarding how the really extreme SJWs don't even believe in merit. They'd take this a step farther and suggest that the only reason the Asians and whites appear to be more deserving is because of systematic racism/sexism/oppression/whatever - but that's probably beyond the scope of this particular lawsuit and question.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/opinion/harvard-asian-american-racism.html

Harvards lawyers will soon tell the highest court in the land that Casey Pedricks Asian students are less respected because they are less likable, less courageous, and less kind than all other applicants. The university has decided that this is necessary for the greater good. The reality is that it is a carefully considered act of slander.

This is going to be epic. Harvard is really backed into a corner here, and because this case has such huge cultural ramifications, they cannot back down or settle. They have to argue this. Because the entire "diversity" mindset is so critical to SJW theory and practice, they have to fight for it. They have no choice but to go in public court and declare that Asians simply have worse personalities than whites, who have worse personalities than Hispanics, who have worse personalities than blacks.

It's gonna be spectacular. Not that I'm predicting they'll lose in court. I'm sure the right-thinking judges will find some ridiculous loophole wherein their obvious racist discrimination will be considered legally permissible. But culturally, I think this is about to turn. It's about to be exposed for the cold, hard, race-based discrimination that it is.

(The part about how this all started as a way to discriminate against Jews is also a nice touch for a society that is now freaking out about the prospect that there's a Nazi hiding behind every rock, and that the refusal to accommodate open borders is Step 8 on a 10-Step plan to re-instituting the holocaust)

I mean, that was the great libertarian hope, and foolmo keeps acting like it will happen, but it just isn't.

The react to Trump has absolutely not been, "Gee, I guess the government should have less power and we shouldn't pick who is in charge with a giant popularity contest."

It has been "Trump is an evil Nazi and as soon as we get him out of office everything will be better, and he only won because of Facebook and Putin and Comey anyway so if we just fix those things elections are fine too."

And seriously, how s***ty of a major/job do you have to have for 10% of your income to not be enough to offset the interest on your loans?

yes, it does occur to me that "english major followed by substitute mailman job" would, in fact, be a proper use case for this scenario

but im at least assuming you went to a crummy state school and not some dumb fake-elite private school, right?

The tax bills are a feature of the income-driven repayment plans that have been offered by the Education Department since 2007. One version of these plans allows borrowers to set their monthly student-loan payments at 10% of their discretionary income. The balances often grow over time because the payments arent big enough to cover accruing interest.

And seriously, how shitty of a major/job do you have to have for 10% of your income to not be enough to offset the interest on your loans?

Just as an example, if you have a 100k loan balance and you get a 50k/yr job, that's 5k per year you're having to pay back, which would equal a 5% interest rate. So basically, people in this situation either have loan balances over 100k and/or jobs paying less than 50k.
