Sigh, I’ll take one for the culture. There is no designation of spots and your son will not be “taking” a spot from anyone, if he has a good GPA (over 3.5), a good MCAT score (high 20's and above), and research or something showing his interest in science/medicine, and a well rounded CV he will have no problem. If he…

No problem, I occasionally like a good argument especially if the poster\OP is wrong and strong and don’t see any counterpoints. I try to stay away from pile-ons or call outs though, if there are already posters making good points I just star and move on.

Not much. Every few years or so you’ll see a call out in the comment sections. The recurring one in Jez is some not liking the male commenters that post frequently and are ungreyed\get a lot of stars. Dictata is one of the OK male ones but some Jez commenters dont like him like Meteor, but Meteor is a commenter none…

They remind of that Simpsons episode were Homer listens to the improve your vocabulary tape at night to the point were he forgets regular words.

I don’t wan’t to fight you Hachi, perhaps we can sit over here with a nice cup of tea while I tell you that you are wrong. I do think did an excellent job during the show, and if the judges decisions were based solely on that he definitely would have won. However his runway collection was boring and uninspired and…

Her banging the help doesn’t “feel” stereotypical it is stereotypical in a myriad of ways. On it’s face it’s nice they made the character black, but they’ll have to develop him beyond trying to get in her pants and do her favors to be interesting for me.

I need to check out more of her work. I like the outfits, but about 4 or 5 of the characters have the same face.

You mean you’re not intrigued by the complex lives of the black friend or the black men as the help/madingo -_-. When does Diahann Carroll’s equivalent make an appearance cause so far I’m not interested.

If you like historicals you would love Three Weeks with Lady X by Eloisa James which is centered on interior decorating. I actually found it on a discussion about romances that feature epistolary (letter writing).

Is it “oppression olympics” to point out that people of color are disproportionately mistreated by the police and the justice system at large? It doesn’t dilute an argument to present information that is backed by OBJECTIVE data, and thus the only people waving anything aside are on some all lives matter bullshit. The…

I don’t have any specific advice to your questions as I am an MD that did very little research, but I would say that finding an experienced advisor that you trust ASAP will be invaluable.

Oh you like Jay-Z quotes now? Here’s another one:

What I found more concerning is that the way he frames the statement leads me to believe that if this encounter occured in a local with less people he absolutely would have pulled his gun on Blake.

I’m not too sure because it’s been more than 20 yrs for me as well and I definitely read the abridged version, because unabridged wasn’t released until 2011.

Maybe you should read the book yourself because that didn’t happen. I just finished the book a few weeks ago. There is a scene when one of the bullies who is a socio-path gets the main bully to engage in mutual masturbation though, I don’t know if I’d call it assault because he willingly agrees then threatens him to…

So you’re perhaps reading the uncut version, see my reply to Al Litigator

I read The Stand back in mid 90's after the mini-series so it was not available then, but 345 extra pages is a lot of new material I’ll definitely re-read it.

King has a lot of issues, the only male character that I can recall being raped was trashman in The Stand, but even then it was more of a recall by the character and not a written out in detail.
