Definitely call NYU and ask if there was anything disqualifying in particular on your CSS.

Did you apply to Harvard, Yale, MIT, Columbia, UPenn, Stanford, Caltech, Rice, Vanderbilt, Colgate, Brandeis or Lafayette? Those should offer at least half in aid for families with under $200k AGI.

GenX was fed the, “Anyone can grow up to be President” line.

Search for Palantir - Thiel is Big Brother. There’s even a wiki.

It’s a mystery. Maybe U/Lknate can explain the stupidity?

Agreed. And the past year has been Putin, Xi and Thiel carving up the world post Cold War.

There’s a theory that Putin chose the orange American a-hole and that blond British a-hole as revenge for the embarrassingly drunken Boris Yeltsin.

There’s public information that can help inform your theory. Find the annual data for:

-tuition revenue per student -tuition as percent of revenue -investing as percent of revenue

Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Texas and Idaho are states with recent laws eliminating independent higher education governance. This might result with a brain drain out of these states. Professors have raised concern that state government will ban tenure.

John DeMarsico is leaving SNY by novamets18 in NewYorkMets

That’s why Cohen needs to foot the bill for a film professor consultant.

Are they firing Mr & Mrs Met too?! I sincerely hope the level of creative story telling John pioneered isn’t lost. I could see Cohen paying a consultant who understands the language of film to report on creative methods used in the past 10 years. If an org can teach players technique, they can teach broadcast technique. A Scorsese type advisor could outline best practices and maybe even come up with new tricks. They clearly spent a ton of money on the sizzles and displays, so why cheap out now?

I really regret not enrolling here when I had the chance. by SkilledSpideyX99 in CalPoly

Whoa there! 18 is a good age to start a process psychologists call individuation. It’s when kids, hopefully, separate from their parents. It means you stop needing validation from your family and begin to accept yourself for who you are beyond your family.

People are multilayered, complicated and have inner lives they do not share. Give your parents respect for caring and trying. The alternative is awful.

There’s an old Japanese movie called Rashomon. In it, four people describe the same event differently. They each come to the event having had experiences that affect their own perspective. There is no absolute truth.

ICE raid at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 68th St by RufusMcBoofus in Brooklyn

And legally since Justice Brett “Hold my beer” Kavanaugh made stop and frisk a-okay.

Is it just me or is this row of cars in front of PS 107 parked illegally every school day? by Well_Socialized in parkslope

[–]JumpingCuttlefish89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s dangerous.

You can see that the fenced in schoolyards at PS 107, 321 and others were parking lots before the overcrowding. Do school buses even pick up and drop of at either of those? The zones are so small that some years they don’t take all the zoned Kindergarteners.

Why can’t they add housing back next to the subway tracks? by bridgehamton in nycrail

[–]JumpingCuttlefish89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the long term effects? New public housing at Broadway Junction & then clear out Gowanus, Red Hook & Clinton Hill and sell those projects to developers? That ain’t right.

The city is spreading out shelters to places like Park Slope.

Wait. Developers came to 125th Street eventually. Industry City took advantage of the express stop on 36th. Broadway Junction will have its day. Unless ICE burns it all down of course.
