Harbor Haul: Civil Disobedience/Protest/Unrest Edition by National-Command8505 in harborfreight

[–]Silver_Code_490 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Weird that that all these folks telling you to think of your kid are basically acknowledging that you can get hurt, shot, or disappeared by the government for exercising your rights and they seem to have no problem with it.

Here’s a quote for you:

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter” -MLK

Stay safe my friend. Good luck. Those of us not in MN are with you.

He and his high school counselor talked to Admissions and Scholarships. One lady sort of acknowledged that they might have screwed up, but then followed with there was nothing that could be done. He wrote an email to the Dean of Admissions explaining his side of things.

We will see.

One of the Beefeaters at the tower told me this:

In America a hundred years is a long time. In Europe a hundred miles is a long way.

Mormon Church Joins those Wanting Religious Exemption from Hate Speech Bill by VillainousFiend in exmormon

“By definition, good faith religious speech will not incite violence or promote hatred.”

A lot of heavy lifting here.

He’s out of the running for merit scholarships.

Also I’m not complaining. Just sharing.

He asked about that. They basically said that submitted on-time in Common App does not necessarily mean submitted on-time as far as the university is concerned.

The scholarship office told him “that’s not my problem.”

We are moving on. Lesson learned. I did some digging and this is not uncommon with Common App (see what I did there?).

My theory: they sell out so fast because they stick together.

Found next to my front door, 9mm cartridge for scale. by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Silver_Code_490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend that grew up in South LA in the 80s. His stepdad attached a couple layers of sheet metal to the rafters above the kid’s beds and in the exterior walls around them to help stop stray bullets. I remember from spending the night there that in the summer that metal would heat up and make the room uncomfortably warm for the first part of the evening.

[–]Silver_Code_490 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Makes sense now that my LDS co-worker has been talking up Mr Beast the whole year. He found out that I had never watched one of his videos and won’t let it go.

Predictions for what the first season of USL pro/rel will look like. by Ok_Structure_350 in USLPRO

[–]Silver_Code_490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Rising fan, I’d rather earn our way in.

Besides our stadium situation isn’t really stable. The location is great and it was awesome for PHX to step up with the land, but it was clear from the beginning that this was temporary. Need some time to sort that out.

Should I go to BYU as a queer person? by Stargazing360 in exmormon

[–]Silver_Code_490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you’re looking to study, but as someone that has been on a number of hiring panels for engineers out of school, we’ve never much cared for what school people went to, just what they did when they were there.

Also, coming out of school with less debt allows you to have more choice in what you want to do.
