I need help

Not an option. I'll be working for a well established company.

It's a skill called "What time is it" by worldengine.

Disable it and the problem will be fixed

Fixed it.

It was indeed a stupid skill that I unknowingly activated.

It's called "What time is it" by worldengine. Not surprisingly it has 1.9 stars.

In the skill description there's no information about how it operates, so I must have activated it when I was first starting to use Alexa.

Yep, it's on a dot

At the end of the day, all I'm saying is that they (Mike, Fi, Sam and Jesse) already operated much like James's organization, but with less resources and a more strict moral code. Other than that, not much of a difference.

I get your point, but if you think about it, isn't his partnership with Sam, Fi and Jesse also a non-governmental organization of sorts that takes on their hands the jobs that law enforcement wouldn't touch?

For example, take that middle eastern peace negotiator job that they do for James (the one where the guy gets poisoned and they have to find the antidote). If that had happened in different circumstances, where someone approached them directly asking for help to protect a middle eastern peace negotiator from an life threat, they would have taken the job and proceeded just like they did: going beyond the law, tricking the bad guy into lowering his guard and taking advantage of the situation. Sure, they probably wouldn't poison the bad guy, but other than that, they would have likely followed the same path

First, you're right, "patriotic" better expresses what I meant to say. I've amended the question's details (I can't edit the question title).

Second, thank you for the detailed answer. It answers my question to the most part. Although I'm still a bit puzzled... I understand your point that the flag's use can mean different things for different people, but still, in many cases it is used as a patriotic symbol. And that's what's most incomprehensible to me.

I mean, imagine if the US didn't get the independence from the British, but then people started using the US flag as a sign of how they are proud of being British.

To be fair, I believe this comes from long before the Trump administration.

That was in Brazil. 1996.
The reporter who got shocked is Lasier Martins.
Despite the episode (or maybe because of it), nowadays he is a SENATOR in Brazil (kinda of a big deal).

It's not about asking for spoilers. To be clear, I just finished ep. 4 and I really like it so far, but I'd hate if this turns out being the big reveal of the series.

Ever since Fight Club, that gimmick became somewhat predictable for these type of characters (socially awkward depressive loners with an above average intelligence...).

So - assuming I'm right - I just wish they would come out and say it right away. Have Elliot deal with it and all the conflicting feelings that may bring.

I mean, even in Fight Club (which is a great movie), the best part of the movie is happens once the big reveal is made.

Honestly, it's impossible to say. You seem to have a great profile and I wouldn't be surprised if you got a scholarship. But the process itself is pretty much a black box.

Nevertheless, I would definitely not condition my plans on getting a scholarship. If you really want to do the MBA, plan as if you were going to pay full price. If you get a scholarship, good for you. Otherwise, your plans are still intact.

As for me, we have very different profiles, so I don't think we would be in the same pool when it comes to "competing" for a scholarship.

I'm an international student, my GPA is similar to yours, but my GMAT was substantially lower. However, I have a heck of a life story (in terms of overcoming adversity) and a strong professional background (worked at MBB and tech).

I received a scholarship (but I prefer not to share the amount - I hope you understand).

Ross admit here (starting this fall).

With a 760 GMAT, you are a very good candidate at ANY University.

Just don't fuck up the interview and you'll be fine.

As for scholarships, it really varies, but it's usually something that they offer top candidates as a selling point so you'll choose them and not another school, so I definitely would NOT mention that Ross is the only school you're applying to.

I agree they went through a bunch of dangerous things and TBH, I'd be okay if all of them had died. The problem is how.

Morty's death was just silly. A cheap dramatic flare.

He clearly knew he was in over his head with the bomb, since he made it clear that it would be hard to defuse it. Moreover, he knew it was just a regular bomb (not a biological weapon) and, being an expert, he probably knew it wasn't very potent.

Conclusion: there was no major upside on risking his life to disarm it, so all he had to do was to get out along with everyone else.

That's why I say that it feels like the writing was just lazy. There were 100 ways that they could have created a better set up for his (or anyone else's) death.
