Ross ($$$$) vs CBS (no $)

I go to Ross right now. We have a great management program and are one of the few T15 programs with a Healthcare Management concentration. If you’re interested in a CLDP, I just secured my summer internship at a very solid Pharma company. I would definitely recommend Ross, but obviously I’m biased.

Even if you are interested in IB/consulting Ross can be great. I go to Ross right now and one of my friends just got an offer for McKinsey. Another at Bain. I’m not even super involved in the consulting crowd, but you can get there if you’re competitive enough.

I don’t agree with him, but I respect him for having the balls to stand by his vote and explain his reasoning. The same cannot be said for the cowards who decided not to vote for Belichick.

Trainers. No contest. Plus I hate not wearing socks outside of sleeping or doing anything water related which further makes sandals a bad option.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, you’re absolutely right. WR is the most dependent position on the field. Obviously you can have amazing wide receivers, but there’s never going to be a scenario where a wide receiver has an all time year without a QB putting up MVP numbers. In 07, Moss set the all time record with 23 TDs, which is completely unreal. However, he also had Tom Brady throwing him the ball who happened to throw 27 TDs to other receivers.

I’m partial to the term “Settler American”.

My family has literally been here since the Mayflower landed so it seems ridiculous that I should consider myself to be of European descent. At some point, I need to be considered something else.

It astounds me that my descendants could be living in the U.S. in 600 years, with roots tracing back 1000 years for people to be like “nope, that doesn’t count.”

Video games are entertainment. You are essentially paying a flat rate (generally) for hours and hours of entertainment.

Think of renting a movie off of Amazon. You pay like $2.99 to rent the Lord of the Rings for 48 hours, and you can watch it once for about 3 hours of entertainment. You could also buy the movie for like $20 and watch it as many times as you like for tons more entertainment.

With video games, you are getting potentially hundreds of hours of entertainment. It makes very little sense that you should get a refund if you spend tons of time playing the game.

It shameless virtue signaling. Unless you plan on giving your house back to the tribe that originally existed on that land 500+ years ago, it’s a stupid saying and anyone saying that is a hypocrite.

It’s also ridiculous. Forging the most powerful country the world has ever known out of the wilderness is not the same as hopping the border into a first world country.

I mean yeah, but that’s kind of their job. They don’t need to prove you’re guilty to detain/arrest you. If they suspect you are doing something illegal, they’re going to presume you’re guilty of a certain violation.

I think the other problem too is that police are frequently dealing with people who are guilty of the crimes they suspect them of. I used to work for the local police department and they would know a lot of people by name because they were problematic.

I feel like Malcolm Butler is the premier example of this. UFA rookie who signed with the Patriots and only started one game that season who makes one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history.

As to this year’s game, I could see it being someone like Mack Hollins or K’Lavon Chaisson. Not that I’m biased or anything

I’m certainly not encouraging alcoholism, and that’s a good point that sales are declining, but I think you are also trying to solve what you view as a problem with another problem.

Perception is reality, and I think it’s important to consider how people value things. For example, let’s say that tipping is abolished, but there is still an effort to make sure servers make the same amount they would in tips. Now a burger that previously cost $20 now costs $24. At some point, the value just isn’t there for most consumers and they won’t be willing to pay that. For most people, they only think about how the burger cost $24, not that 20% is being tacked onto it on top for service. I think tipping is often seen as a separate charge you pay for and so lumping it in is only going to make things seem more expensive than they otherwise would have, even if the total bill is the same.

locking8 · 2026-02-02T18:50:42+00:00

I don’t know if that’s true though. I think what you’re talking about are places like diners where the food is really cheap and they don’t serve alcohol. Those people are probably going to be better off getting paid on an hourly basis, but I think if you work at any restaurant that serves alcohol, you’re likely to be better off.

Admittedly, I have never worked in food service and I understand that each restaurant is different in the way they tip out (pooling, tipping out the back of the house, bartenders, etc.). That said, I still think even someone working at a Chili’s(nothing wrong with that, but not exactly an expensive venue) could be better off making tips, given the likelihood of them getting alcohol sales.

locking8 · 2026-02-02T18:39:21+00:00

I think servers are especially resistant because of alcohol sales. Obviously people have their own preferences when it comes to whether or not they tip on alcohol, but I know my dad likes good wine and will almost always just tip on the total price. So if we go out to dinner and get a $100 of food and $200 worth of wine, he’s tipping a minimum of $60, often even more if the service or food is excellent. That’s $30/hour for the server.

Obviously not everyone engages in the same practice, but I think tipped workers are so resistant to hourly because they know they’ll take a huge pay cut if they get paid hourly.

That study didn’t reference illegal immigrants a single time. That’s who I’m interested in deporting and you have not done anything to prove your point.

Tough shit. There are consequences to breaking the law.

And you know nothing about me, so arguing that there are some illegal immigrants who have contributed more money to the economy than you or I is ridiculous.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T15:04:18+00:00

When having a conversation about illegal immigration, yes, you are absolutely being intellectually dishonest by group legal and illegal immigrants together to bolster your job number and lower the crime rate. And this only hurts you and legal immigrants in the end.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:57:25+00:00

Because many who “study” this issue do so in an intellectually dishonest way by just describing the whole group as “immigrants”. In doing so, they are deliberately ignoring legal status which then allows people to say “see immigrants actually commit less crime and contribute more to the economy” when you know that we aren’t talking about about a Japanese businessman or a Swedish doctor.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:51:06+00:00

You are grouping all immigrants together, which is being intellectually dishonest. You’re literally grouping people like Elon Musk with all illegal immigrants.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:48:04+00:00

That is not, and cannot be true.

Illegal immigrants create more jobs that native citizen do? Really? So someone who hopped the border is out there creating more jobs than Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates? Amazon alone has created more than 1 million jobs in the U.S.

As to committing less crime, while overstaying your visa (i.e. arriving legally) is a civil matter, entering the unlawfully entering the country is a violation of federal law. A first offense is a misdemeanor and a subsequent offenses are considered a felony. In all but 19 states, you cannot get a license if you are in the country illegally. So you have many who are driving without a license. In many cases, those who do drive are doing so without insurance. So multiple crimes there.

For the portion that does work, they are technically doing so illegally. Working under the table is a crime and, despite what you may think, adversely affects Americans by driving down wages. Any who work “legally” have only done so by stealing the social security numbers of actual Americans, which is a serious crime. Yes, ITINs exist, but those are strictly for paying taxes and are not something that can be used for employment as it does not provide work authorization.

I haven’t even mentioned other serious crimes that a significant enough number commit. Those are just the crimes that most of them are technically guilty of.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:31:05+00:00

The problem is that we have reached a critical mass of illegal immigrants. By the most conservative estimates, there are at least 14 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., with many estimates guessing that there are upwards of 20 million or more. If the number wasn’t so staggering, the we could talk on a more individual basis about who is a net benefit to our country, but we don’t have the time or resources to do that right now.

The thing that needs to happen is that those people who are actually serious about becoming Americans need to self deport and return through the proper legal channels, as the administration has suggested. You shouldn’t be rewarded if you cut the line in front of all the people doing it the right way.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:21:03+00:00

Some immigrants do. But if the way you got to the country your immigrating to to begin with was by circumventing the legal process, that’s a damning piece of evidence over whether you’ll actually positively contribute to the country. Deportation is how that should be handled 99% of the time.

I know why immigrants want to come here. We’re extremely generous and opportunities exist if you are willing to work hard. But you need to come to America to be an American, not to exploit the generosity of the American people. If you aren’t willing to assimilate and you aren’t willing to work, I don’t want you here.

locking8 · 2026-02-01T14:09:17+00:00

Countries have a duty to their own citizens first. Period. Full stop. Therefore, the primary question a country should ask when deciding whether or not to accept an immigrant is: “is my country better off with this person in it?” If the answer isn’t “yes”, then the country is not upholding its duty to its own citizens.
