I mean, if Internet troll comments hold any truth the logic of his comment and score compared with yours proves the sat is biased as fuck.

That's true. I don't remember the actual price because my parents couldn't pay for that shit. I remember some wealthy kids at my school enrolled in one, and I'm pretty sure it was over a grand. They all made over 1400s +, which I guess money well spent? I barely broke 1200 tbh, but I've always managed above a 3.8 gpa.
God will somebody just do a study that once and for all proves the sat is more bell curve bullshit? How are you going to compete (coming from a working class background) with someone whose parents pay over a grand to get their kid into the best prep courses. It's not an even playing field, not even a lil lil bit. And…
It's a lot of money to register for those tests. Add to that prep book and all the other assortments of financial edges rich kids have over those that can't afford 9 week long $2000 prep courses.
Since we do this on Jezebel, I don't know that an image of a large black hand menacingly looming over a pure white child is particularly apt.
I was physically abused as a kid (way beyond spanking), and that shit helps nothing except anger. I do work with a lot of children now though, and I have found especially in upper middle class white kids there is a culture of disrespect for public workers. As a person working min wage I do not deserve to deal with…
Vice has a batshit interview with her. I kinda feel bad because she seems to legitimately believe her conspiracy, like wrote a 500 page book dedicated to it. I mean, the fashion industry is shitty but there is no way Marc Jacobs is going through her crappy Facebook pictures for inspiration. Although a weird part of me…
Marc Jacobs conspiracy is one of my favorite Internet gems
Quick, $10,000 bounty for proof that people actually are mean and that makes it okay to post hoaxes that attempt to profit off people's good intentions.
I did not, in fact my comment on the article was much to the contrary. So uh wut the fuck even.
This is true. But, are guns drones etc not just a means to an end? Meaning, the reason they exist is the result of a militaristic colonial worldview that asserts only some humans are altruistic/ able to have self determination? Hand to hand combat would slow and possibly complicate the issue, but does it fix the…
Yes, most people in the world have people that love and respect them. This is a good thing, love and respect are never not good. What I am saying is that when it comes to a military system I think this sentimentality gets in the way of actually figuring out what it means to go to war. And I have military friends also…
I mean, I see the problem more with the journalists who run this unverifiable stuff. People are always going to take advantage of publicity, it's ethical reporting that needs to weed out the manufactured sensationalism.
I'm not saying I hate the troops or those in the troops at all, sorry if you got that impression. I'm saying I don't support a system of militarism based on a simplified jingoistic notion of freedom (which is itself a vague concept that has few truly objective qualities). Also the notion that those are "just people"…
Yeah, I think America has such an ingrained good guy/bad guy dichotomy that it is hard to ask the real underlying questions of what constitutes freedom. The human right not only to not be killed or hurt, but not to kill itself seems absent from our current model of freedom. I think the necessity to "fight" for human…
I definitely know that person (people). I have a file of saved aborted Facebook replies to every "freedom isn't free!!! Support the troops!!!" post they make. One day they are just going to build up to like 15 pages of counterarguments, and i will lose my cool enough to post them on some dumb winny the pooh loves the…
I've seen Facebook pictures from guys in the military I knew from high school literally pointing guns at one another's heads and jokingly holding grenades and other dangerous shit. This is what makes the military tick though, good to know. Like pretending to make out w a logo vs reckless abandon with actually…
One time when I was like 10 or 11 I kind of stopped seeing war as an abstract thing (which I think a lot of Americans do) and I remember being really confused as to why people went over to other countries to kill other people. Usually my pretty liberal family is good about not shutting down questions, but when I…
I'd be down for Ellen degeneres coming out a second time just in case someone missed it.
I really want someone to do a survey of who actually answers surveys realistically. When ever I see a survey I know I go for what would yield most unrealistic results. This survey makes me think I'm not the only survey troll. Also : 4chan even though ugh
Surveys more and more seem like they lack accuracy in a big way
