In the same amount of time on Game of Thrones, Jon Snow could have flown from The Wall down to Casterly Rock, then back up, beyond The Wall, killed a few undead soldiers and made it home to flirt with his auntie- all before Seager dropped the ball.

The confederacy is treason, responsible for the most destructive war in American history. We got off relatively easy in the World Wars. The confederacy is emblematic of the enslavement and oppression of millions of human beings over hundreds of years. This is not open for debate and negotiation is not possible. No…

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

Ironically, Breitbart is blocked at my work because it isn’t on our whitelist.

Often the returns are covered by the same restrictions as the principal that earns them. But as a more practical issue, a lot of that is probably already keeping doors open and lights on around campus.

Thanks, this is a very clear answer. Couldn’t the school then just use a portion (or all) or annual returns on the endowment to help? If that $4bn earns 5% per year (which is probably even a bit conservative), they could pay off $200m per year in principal per year and cut interest in half. Or are there limitations on…

Endowments come in all shapes and sizes. Frequently, those funds are earmarked by donors for specific purposes e.g. to provide a scholarship for left-handed red-heads who live within walking distance of a 7-11 or to pay the salary of a particular department chair. There are some donations that are just randomly to the…

Most athletic departments would love nothing more than to shut down half of their programs.

Cal Berkeley’s endowment is current just over $4bn. Couldn’t the school use funds from the endowment to pay off some or all of the principal, thereby limiting interest expense?

I’m originally from Buffalo, so...no.

Those people are wrong or lying to you.

To me it’s simple - I’m a mildly athletic person. A weekend softballer. In a MLB ballpark I could maybe, juuuust maybe connect with one perfectly and poke it over a short left porch wall. Like a .0001 percent chance. I’m not even saying I could do it - but it’s POSSIBLE. But I could NOT dunk a basketball. Ever. No…

Originally I was 100% on “Homer”.

Hit a home run. The average height for males worldwide is about 5'7 and for women it’s 5'2. More people have the strength to hit a home run than have the athleticism of Spud Webb.

Black men are the Asian women of guys. Other races fetishize them, and other women (and Asian men) get scared of it. With Black men, there’s a penis size thing going on too...I’m not into the cuck porn, but I’ve seen enough to know it’s always about a bigger dick, Black or White.

Yeah, when she told me that my response was, “wow, you’ve dated a lot of racist dudes.”

Honestly? Most dudes always go to that. While I will (and have) dated the entire representation of It’s A Small World, the only exes that dudes obsess over are the black ones.

Spoiler alert!

I think Othello’s also an interesting example because it both plays it straight, with Othello’s ambiguous ethnicity and his wife’s whiteness bothering her father and quite a few other characters, but also inverts it with Othello being paranoid about her banging a white dude.
