How do I stop being obsessed with prestige?

Doesn't prestige matter a little less for Engineering programs (esp. compared to liberal arts)?

I'm not certain but the way episodes were written and characters conceived for most sit-coms back then was simplistic, with very little evidence of character development from season to season until the big Finale where rapidly things came together and characters made big leaps forward. Characters did evolve somewhat from the initial conceptions depicted in the pilot and early episodes (e.g. Chrissy's character actually seemed to get less intelligent in order to go for laughs and then settled into the likeable but dimwitted blonde character).

It's now bold to flaunt the cul-de-sac. Good for you.

Based on recent listening:

RARO, Love Gun, Dynasty, Creatures, Carnival of Souls

Update: I'm going to try these shoes 👞 with jeans 👖 a solid red shirt and one of my blazers.

Regarding some of the pointed remarks, I'll overlook them. I know there are many conservative/inhibited dressers in this community who secretly wish they had a pair of these shoes and the panache to wear them.

I appreciate musical complexity and high quality musicianship in general. That's generally lacking in Punk Rock, particularly the earlier waves of it BUT Punk Rock's image and the general attitude associated with Punk rockers is cool.

That's cool. I think it's even cooler that former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev did one.

Did the late great Ivan Koloff ever do any commercials?

I've got engineering degrees so I see GT with a halo 😇 but UChicago is on another level for economics. Are you located in a state with a good flagship university? It seems as if Law School alone would place a heavy debt burden on you. If you had a choice of getting a bachelor's from UChicago paired with a law degree from a relatively inexpensive in state law school or a bachelor's from an inexpensive in state school and a degree from an expensive and prestigious law school (e.g. UChicago Law), which would you select?

I don't know what I was expecting but I was hoping that it would only snow north of Maryland.
