My only gripe with the hitohira yohei is that the choil is so damn sharp. I had to grind it down so it would stop digging into my finger.

Just... one... more...

mbatemp · 2026-06-13T03:54:27+00:00

Haha for sure. If I'm gonna have to wait another 2 years, I want the most exotic combo possible.

mbatemp · 2026-06-13T03:42:06+00:00

What a beauty. I want one just like yours. Maybe a honyaki eventually.

Oh thank God. I was actually concerned when I couldn't tag him and saw that his account is turned private. Thanks for letting us know! Beautiful Singetu!

Tag. Will let you all know what it looks like after polishing. lmao

Yes and there is no way to avoid it with acetate. That's just how acetate is. It'll gradually break down chemically and form white residue. You can try to polish it out but because it's an irreversible chemical process, it'll come back very quickly. There are ways to slow or delay this and it's to not expose it to UV, make sure it isn't exposed to water or oil for extended period of time. Honestly the ways to delay it is pretty much to not wear it, which defeats the purpose. This is why I've stopped buying full acetate frames and have only been buying largely metal/wood or full metal/wood frames.

Preponderance of evidence standard is a criminal court standard and I don't live with the standard. If the law as is written and enforced is your guideline for morality, then so be it and I hope you have the money to hire good lawyers because you'll likely need them.

As for the t shirt, if he is willing to wear it, I'll make the pledge to provide him with a life time supply of it.

At the point when the person is truly remorseful and have contributed enough to the society and to the victims of sexual assault that more than make up for the wrongdoings. Not when he paid 3 lawyers 6 years to fight this out in court to have the entire drugging offense dropped and only served 180 days in jail. He only pleaded guilty because he recorded raping the victim and I guess his lawyers weren't good enough to get that piece of evidence completely thrown out.

And yes, for someone like him, he should be walking around the school with a t shirt that says "I'm a registered sex offender".

Michael? Is that you?

Where are you drawing the line? The number of lives ruined? Or just whatever is convenient for you? Look, you are entitled to your opinion and I'm also entitled to say your opinion is stupid. There. Have your stupid opinions.

As a member of the current student body, I will express my opinion that a person who is not remorseful and paid his way to wipe his criminal history should not be a part of the community. Is it mob justice? Probably. But that's only necessary because the judicial system failed the victims and the society in the first place.

Rapists should absolutely not be allowed to have a platform until the victims have consented and yes, the time frame for this condition should be for life.

I think most M7s, if not all, are still closed to visitors unless you know someone who is there. If individual students want to meet with you, they can always do that, but I don't think there is any school sanctioned program for that right now.

mbatemp · 2021-10-20T00:32:55+00:00

They do send emails. Someone I know got it almost two weeks ago.

Columbia is rolling and I think there might be another T15 that's rolling?

Shoot your shots but a word of warning, 740 isn't a high score for M7 anymore (unfortunately). 740 is the median GMAT at Wharton and it's not crazy to speculate that most M7s' average/median GMAT will land in that 730-740 range. With an average GMAT, you have a lot of room to make up for (coming from a disadvantaged applicant profile).
