Tim Kaine touched on the possibility that parents would shop around for a system that was friendlier to their children with disabilities, and BDV seemed to think that that, too, was also best left to the states to hash out. I think this has the potential to create sender-states and receiver-states, personally, and a…

Any idea how it was discovered? Is there a database of dissertations that we could consult about anyone’s academic credentials?

But the plagiarism is proven, not speculated, no?

See, I kinda feel like they have to, just to look good and send a message. Protect the integrity of the program and all that. If the plagiarism is proven rather than speculated, it seems like an easy call.

Fair enough. It just seems incredibly wrong to let her cheat her way into something that other people had to actually, y’know, work for.

Oh, I’d imagine someone currying favor — or seeking blackmail material — offered the treat. As you say, he’s not a planner.

I wonder if we went to Notre Dame at the same time. What a pool racism in the cloak of Catholicism.

Yes. I don’t want to send my children or nieces and nephews there. I was attacked (not raped) by a THIRD STRING FRESHMAN football player and they told me to stay away from him. I still have back problems from what he did to me. Notre Dame sucks.

This reminds me of what a few of my Midwest refugee friends and I have realized over the years. A great swatch of this country, mostly concentrated in the South and Midwest, value politeness much more than honesty. It matters far less what you’re saying than how you’re saying it.

I was I shit you not told that I need to get over my third world country mentality and adopt the American College experience. Because I didn’t want to drink. I wanted a decent nights sleep. I didn’t want to have the windows open while I slept and for temperature dropped 20+ degrees. If I didn’t get a declaration from…

The worst racists during my time in Notre Dame were from Chicagoland. I believe you.

True story: I knew more out and proud racist fucks during the 20+ years I lived in Chicagoland than I’ve known in the 20+ I’ve lived in the Deep South. This story surprises me not at all.

I used to watch DOOL regularly until Marlena was possessed. Haven’t watched in forever and caught an episode during the holidays. Everyone was still there!! Hope, Patch, Kayla, Marlena, it was insane. Hope is a grandmother, of a teenager?! Jennifer is a grandmother?! Marlena must be 80 by now, but looks amazing.

Same, except I did abstain from alcohol.

The more I live, the more entrenched I become in distributionism and my belief that it may really be the only way to stabilize society. Capitalism has decent features, but the problem is that it’s inherently hungry - it has no end point, it has no “goal” other than to keep acquiring and consuming. Socialism has its…

I could wait for some pretentious, out of touch white guy to “disrupt” this problem by making housing more affordable and accessible for all socioeconomic classes, but then I remembered the “disrupt” culture only fixes problems that either don’t exist or benefit pretentious, out of touch white guys.

The main takeaway from this election: the bulk of Mormons genuinely believe the ethical redlines in their scriptures, the bulk of evangelicals are exactly the craven amoral fucknuts everyone else has always suspected.

Over 60 years old here… relationships have come and gone, but at least I can say I’ve escaped the legal and financial consequences of marriage.

Its a liquid when you get around 85°F. It is stays solid fine around 70°F, I made them a week ago to be sure.

Star Trek drone? Amazeballs.
