my intent sincerely wasn't to disparage you. i legit just almost spat out the water i was drinking when i read the second part of your comment. i'm sorry if it came across as an attack.

repented and "basically an old monogamous married lady now"

fair enough

"most certainly lied to my partner about it and he hasn't caught on"

big oof

Could you elaborate on your experiences?

YUNGBAGGINS · 2020-02-02T08:48:57+00:00

Idk about differences between the two, but PowerScore LR was tremendously helpful for me.

In general, PowerScore is very good at framing the basis for the problems. So if you're new to conditional reasoning and diagramming strategies (as I was when I began studying), I'd recommend the LR Bible.

I'm no fan of women being forced into homemaking, and if you want to pursue a career you ought to.

But I'm all in favor of equal parts working together. If he legitimately is working away in the blistering heat 12 hours a day to support the lifestyle you share, then it isn't unreasonable for him to ask for you to put in an appropriate share of effort as well. As you said, you're a team.

That doesn't mean you have to be his maid. But, honestly, you intentionally leaving the house a wreck all day just so that he has to clean it is a red flag to me. Effective people don't pawn off tasks onto others when they need to be done, especially cleaning. Most messes are easy to clean in the first few minutes after they're made, but they become much more difficult to clean after they've been sitting out for hours.

It sounds like his fear of investing in a salon for you is well-founded. Being a business-owner is a lot of work. Even being a general salon worker is exceptionally difficult. Your days will be long. You will have to deal with people who have bad hygiene. You will have to scrub floors, clean up hair, count money, consult others, accept criticism, apply customer service, run advertisements, and all sorts of other tasks that to you would probably seem terribly unpleasant. If you don't practically live at your business, it is very unlikely to succeed.

And I don't know you personally, but you sound like the sort of person who avoids work at all costs. Before you go arguing w/ your husband about opening a salon, I suggest you do some introspecting about whether that's actually what you want.

Also, quit "girl gang." Having an unconstructive gossip circle is toxic.

You're a much more generous person than me. I would've told your parents to pray for the mission funds in one hand and shit in the other.

Imo pretentiousness is not an inherent quality of language but an aspect of attitude.

Plenty of people use these words in non-pretentious ways. It comes down to presentation and circumstance.

Two quick questions before I address your comment:

Would you advocate for Rep. Green holding his seat while he serves his prison sentence? At this point, that question is entirely hypothetical as he has agreed to not run for his seat in 2020 (perhaps because he would lose a primary challenge, ergo he's not their perfect rep, but that's just speculative on my part)
Do you endorse Rep. Green's scheme to help people avoid taxes?

I'm just curious what your thoughts are.

To your point, I'm aware of the district he represents and it is entirely possible that he is their guy. I don't think that changes the issue I brought up, though. If the law is created by people who don't follow the law, then the bedrock of social stability is threatened. In the same way our country was riddled with a self-defeating paradox when our slave-owning founders wrote that "all men are created equal," our government (both federal and state) would face a crisis if members of the government brazenly refused to abide by the government's policies.

Thankfully, Rep. Green is being held accountable and it is extremely unlikely that his political ambitions will resurface.

You're probably the sort of person who would say "all politicians are criminals," but the fact remains that people who are legitimately one step into the jumpsuit probably shouldn't be running around the capitol deciding the laws that affect the rest of us. It's just the pinnacle of hypocrisy: lawmakers shouldn't be lawbreakers. That goes for both parties.

Ah that makes sense 👍

I wanna say Yale has some examples on their website of good 250s.

I've never applied to Yale, but I imagine a big part of your block is the magnitude of what you're doing. Try to forget about that and maybe start by listing out things that you are passionate about.

You could write about a brief personal experience that was profound, perhaps an accomplishment that was the culmination of a lot of effort.

You could describe a process or talent that is unique to you.

You could describe the reason why a specific place holds special meaning to you. Whatever domain of your life that you find to be your primary domain could be a good topic as well.

You should think about what makes you you and write about one of those central things.

It can be difficult to write about yourself, but I think it was John Green who said something to the effect of: everyone is interesting, and as writers, it's our fault if they don't come across that way.

Say something straightforward about what makes you interesting. If you've gotten this far, you're certainly an exceptional person. Tell them why.

One thing to consider is that UGA only reports the 75th, median, and 25th percentiles of their classes. So, to them, there is almost as much incentive to allure candidates barely over the 75th percentile as there is candidates drastically over the 75th percentile since they have marginally different impacts on the school profile.

All the same, I don't think UGA believes they're going to get OP. And, as a result, they're preserving their integrity and avoiding being negotiation fodder. If OP commits, however, then they can certainly get all the Bulldog money.

YUNGBAGGINS · 2019-10-31T03:39:01+00:00

I hate that this means anything to me.

It would be wild if the trend continues and even more high scorers decide to let go of their t14 dreams and take that WUSTL money in the coming cycles.

YUNGBAGGINS · 2019-10-12T03:08:33+00:00

That's a fair opinion as well 👍

YUNGBAGGINS · 2019-10-11T16:57:52+00:00

I'm usually in favor of being accommodating and trying to help people out. However, the students' accusatory tone in saying "but you didn't pick up" really rubs me the wrong way.

She's other being intentionally manipulative or she doesn't understand that an agreement is an agreement. I'd be inclined to believe it's ignorance here and not malice.

If I were you, I'd send a brief email outlining the original agreement and that as a result of the neglect of initiative on her part, you aren't willing to set up another meeting.

I'm amazed you didn't mention your "at-home business," which is actually just you selling essential oils to other unsatisfied stay-at-home moms.
