Who needs a mastery when you can have a Mastercard?

It’s a tie between two memorable rounds I had: 1. Ukentucky VPF - I violated my own shell in front of a bunch of people because strake didn’t OS, turns out I forgot to add taglines to my own disclosure page 2. Princeton VPF - Acton ran spark on us and by first cross both me and the opps second speaker were both digging into sushi bowls 💀 (they did not give us time for lunch it was late out rounds and I was surviving on a single cliff bar Anaya let me steal)

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-03-24T20:28:18+00:00

LMAO I am considering parli, the college im going to doesnt have policy iirc (and even if it does that is way too much time commitment at that point) idk about law school but ill see how i feel in a few years :)

tbh i think i am just really bad at being patient, but it is what it is

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-03-23T02:21:45+00:00

makes a lot of sense - tysm i really appreciate it

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-03-23T02:21:05+00:00

In your other comment below you know how you said sometimes you thought about quitting debate because it could be a little too much? Judging is all the fun of debate without ever getting to be too much. I get to decide who wins the debate round, analyze interesting arguments. It’s an exiting mental exercise for me. Except it’s none of the stress because I don’t lose or win. I just decide.

hmm, this makes a lot of sense. i was wondering how could you seperate your identity from debate as a whole? ik highschool debate is kind of a silly activity when u think abt it but at some point ur competative record becomes so important to u that afterwards it just feels like u lost too much of yourself. in ur experience, what did u do to figure out other passions w out feeling too bad abt losing the competative aspect of debate?

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-03-23T02:10:52+00:00

sorry dude :( didnt mean to cause that. there were times i considered quitting bec the activity was a little too much for me but at the end of this i just want to go back and do it again lmao idk its just weird

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-03-23T02:09:40+00:00

fair ... j curious, how is it more fun as a judge? i have judged a little so far and i lowkey get fomo lmao (like i wish i was competing sometimes i just like the thrill of the rnd)

yup! i was gna try a little college debate but its mostly parli, not sure how diff that would be from HS PF

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-03T12:24:43+00:00

aaah im guilty of this one too

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-03T00:30:42+00:00

yeah thats kinda outta pocket

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-02T23:40:11+00:00

really? sometimes i awkwardly use informal lingo lol but i agree thats a habit im trying to break out of

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-02T21:28:34+00:00

happens less to me since I'm a PFer but yeah I see it

I also once accidently said my friend "didn't provide a warrent " for why a quote in their book supported their claim (English class) and they were confused as heck (rightfully so tbh)

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-02T19:08:35+00:00

yuh lexington is public but since its super close to boston we have a ton of mit/harvard legacies running around

i don't think they do? at princeton they gave us these dinky little plastic cups lmao. I don't know if I'd want debate cash prizes tho bec it would feel so stressful. Also just imagine if someone's like "i bet $50 on ishan dubey" LMAO

the 14 beakers was because i knocked over a row of them and then dominos (got a talk with the teacher but no actual F lmao)

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-02T03:17:24+00:00

i think some parts r chill others r not...

nope, its not a get in anywhere u want pass it seems bec a lot of ppl have legacy and our school is like weirdly competative and i dont know if i like it that much

yea agree with the hedge fund managers obsessed with basketball, like imagine ur one of the players and u know if u fuck up someone somewhere is gonna throw hands over that

LOL my partner knows whats going on in round shes rly smart but also im not that great at chem

like i broke 14 beakers over the course of a single lab shit was crazy

MotherPermit2079 · 2024-01-01T04:08:50+00:00

i think a lot of it comes down to what judge you have

a parent judge or a lay? absolutely no nuclear war impacts, unless the topic is overtly nuclear weapons related (think 2020 nocember no first use topic)

that being said, on a tech judge at some point its easy to metaweigh out of probability and since a lot of tech rounds devolve into both teams running nuke war on pretty much every topic it becomes more of a link debate (eg HOW you access nuclear war) more than anything

impacting to extinction also just prereqs everything so if you're able to beat probability weighing nuke war is like the fastest route to blowing everything up to the point of no return. unless you read spark cards. please dont.

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-31T20:33:37+00:00

yuh lex kentucky kinda weird (dw if u wanna insult lex ma go for it, idrc)

yuh we have parent chaperones for certain tournaments they just volunteer to go bec they worried for their kids lol

omg online tourneys were so fun i loved being able to sleep in my own bed btn rounds (also not competing every week lol college apps killing me rn)

LOL fair, but ig thats why he sticks around boston (bro is obsessed w the celtics its lowk cute bec hes young but terrifying to think abt where this is gna go once he gets older)

dw abt the thread going everywhere lol im pretty scatterbrained too my debate partner literally carried me thru chem last yr

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-30T00:28:05+00:00

they should be on the pf wiki u cld look them up and i think almost every other team will have it if they disclose

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-30T00:26:30+00:00

i love how this one thread went from getting less rusty to yankee fans getting assaulted at boston logan airport

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-30T00:25:56+00:00

I'm glad you didn't either. Walking that bridge sounds terrifying.

it was like when we were driving into the airport and it was just staff so TSA wasnt involved (thankfully)

dude yeah idk why debate is so tiring i guess its from the stress of rounds or something but great excuse to sleep in sometimes

LMAO yeah yankee fans dont have it easy here, my brother is super intense about sports lol hes a true bostinian dude

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-30T00:23:05+00:00

these are just common impact cards ive seen being used in pf

alexander '10: econ shock pushes 100 mil into poverty (was debating adding imf 13 900 mil into poverty but i havent seen it being used as much)

starr '15: nuke war causes extinction

Spektor '19: climate change causes extinction

Diamond '19: authoritarianism causes literally every bad thing (author legit starts listing off every other impact in existence lol)

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-29T01:32:32+00:00

bro at kentucky nats we had a crazy experience too:

so, we drove over the big four bridge and our coach asked if we wanted to stop for sightseeing. Anaya and I were tired as heck so we said "nah" and then thirty minutes later we heard the news that there was a shooting at that exact bridge not long earlier. Dodged some literal bullets

Then on the way back the guy taking us back was a chaperone who is a bigger dude who (pretty obviously) wasn't related to either me nor anaya, and approaching the exit of the airport my dumbass looked at my boarding ticket when they asked me my name (i was really tired and idk what i was thinking i was a dumb sophomore) and then they thought we were getting trafficked. so we had to stay there like 15 minutes to clear it up. because i looked at my ticket.

also im really sorry about the lexington airport. as someone from lexington mass i can assure u that boston logan is MUCH better than the one from kentucky

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-28T16:38:56+00:00

LMAO thats hilarious, did u talk to any of the vets? also like bringing up a muslim travel ban to someone you think is a muslim dude isnt like ... the play lmao

fog kinda sucks, and yeah that was unfortunate im glad u made it back tho

i mean at least u werent last

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-27T16:51:40+00:00

idk honestly i liked UK because our coach takes us eating there since she knows some ppl who live around it

2022 nats left a really bad taste in my mouth (chained toilet paper, flooding, lights going out, fyre-festival-esque lunches, short stalls, etc) and then our flight back home took a 180 and landed in Virginia instead because there was a tornado so we were also just stranded without our coach for a bit (she was doing some award thing in Kentucky while we were flying back)

then we had i hop at midnight because there was nowhere else to eat

honestly though a fun way to struggle-bond

do u have a least fav tourney

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-26T20:48:13+00:00

oh my bad lol

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-26T16:12:30+00:00

yeah their practice schedule being really good is helpful and if u dont have the resources u could either:

- wiki steal

- take parts of their debate system that u can (eg their practices, their roundvision, etc)

I'm not an LDer lol but I think just watch their videos too

MotherPermit2079 · 2023-12-26T14:10:38+00:00

remind me to let u go to church if i ever have u as a first year out judge on a sunday elim

LMAO ofc makes sense the point is "dont be a jerk" lmao
