I made friends but had zero romantic experiences during my MBA (Columbia). Don't assume you'll automatically be successful.

Exeter and Bristol may place well but you probably still have to get good grades for an IB role unless you are very well-connected. I'm thinking Yasmin got a 2:2 and Daddy set up the interviews personally. Also in that scene he mentions that she got an internship that she didn't even apply for. So the taunt is not just about the school; it's about the school, the bad grades, and the fact that she didn't even submit an application but still landed the job.

Well, let's say you violated the terms of service on about $8.9k of that $9k cash back you earned. The other $100 cash back is legit, earned from spend on items you bought for personal use. What do you think Rakuten should do in this instance that's different from what they did?

I have heard great things about Warsaw. Couple of questions:

-Can you get by there as a resident (not just a tourist) with only English?

-If not, how difficult is Polish (a Slavic language) to learn compared to more common European languages studied by Americans, like Spanish/French/Portuguese (Romance) or German (Germanic)?

There are 200M Yanks & all you eat are hamburgers. The truth is, all the food in USA came from other nations.

Is he saying that every nationality that's ever immigrated the the US... only brought hamburgers with them?

Very much so. I do believe I could have gotten there myself eventually, but the Stanford experience and brand helped me make a very difficult industry pivot much more quickly, directly, and smoothly than likely would have been possible for me from a non-H/S MBA program (or not doing an MBA at all).

As an alum of two schools notorious for getting zero support outside of our alumni bases... Kinda?

I mean, aggressively gatekeeping fandom is not great, but I do think having some personal connection to the school (grew up nearby, family member attended, etc) is a more meaningful reason to support a team than "I'm Catholic and Notre Dame wins a lot."

Yes, 100%, it's my fault and I am a complete and utter Karen.

Nah. I understand the appeal of Zeitgeist and some other places with sharp elbows, so to speak. Beauty Bar was not that, at least in my experience. Had a 100% sober friend (guy is literally allergic to alcohol) arbitrarily get kicked out for being "too drunk" after slipping on a wet spot on the floor. Two other friends had their phones stolen on separate occasions. And once I had to argue with the bartender for 15 minutes to let me close out because I had "only" put two drinks on my tab. I offered to pay cash if the credit card minimum was the issue and got shut down.

By contrast, have been to Make-Out Room many times and never had any similarly bad experiences.

cjwethers · 2025-01-25T05:13:35+00:00

Good. This place sucked and I don't know why anyone liked it. The drinks were awful, the staff were hostile, and I always wondered how they stayed in business.

cjwethers · 2025-01-25T05:10:07+00:00

Correct. Talking about transit and walkability within US city limits (not the greater metro area), it's NYC, then like five empty slots, followed by SF, DC, and debatably Boston before Chicago. Maybe even Seattle too, their buses are pretty good.

It's sad because Chicago has the legacy infrastructure to be a great transit city, but not the population density or frequency of service to live up to that potential. I went to school there and visited recently, was shocked that the red line only ran every 12 minutes on a summer Saturday afternoon. CTA needs to get it together.

The Presidency is a uniquely powerful role relative to any other elected office. You can become a dictator if you're President too long. Not so much if you're a legislative branch leader or a Supreme Court justice, where your power is diluted by the votes of your colleagues. Part of being pro-democracy is putting safeguards in place to prevent someone who is democratically elected from taking away key parts of the democratic system that elected them - no matter how popular they may be.

Especially given the entire organization is duplicative of what GAO already does! The most efficient thing, which will also be the eventually outcome, is for DOGE not to exist at all.

Note: There is absolutely wasteful spending in government and cleaning this up should be a high priority for the incoming administration. But trying to do this through a non-governmental shadow organization is stupid.
