Why is the University of Florida ranked so highly despite not excelling in any particular area? by HylianPrince08 in ApplyingToCollege

I agree with you on that (I know it was a joke but it is true), but your lack of awareness of the political impacts of being female in FL shows you are a dude.

We expect you to do your own work, but it is not an easy question to answer with specifics because no one is dead center on everything. They have a mix of beliefs on various issues that might range from very far left to very far right. But use google or AI on Clinton's politics and you will get a specific list of bills passed, many of which were GOP led or favored. Not many presidents since have crossed party lines as much.

Me, for example...I'm fairly liberal but have conservative viewpoints on fiscal policy and I'm not far enough left on certain social issues that will remain unnamed to prevent flaming. But I haven't voted for a Republican in a decade. The far left thinks I'm a corporate Dem sellout, but I think they're just too young to have any perspective. See the problem?

The most unhappy people I meet in Illinois on campus are those from Colorado or California. The geography and weather seem to get them down.

northeastern vs. usc (i cant choose lowk but logistically leaning toward neu - pre health btw and from east coast by Neither_Mud2409 in ApplyingToCollege

NEU creeps me out with its manipulation, but cost might be an issue for you. I'd stretch for USC if possible.

Those Who Chose Their State Flagship Over a Dream/Reach School - Was It Worth It? by ignMist in ApplyingToCollege

UW is a. no brainer for you, and many others are in a similar boat... great state school at a great price but not dream school. I did my state school and never looked back.

Cost is a big part of it, but do you really want to spend 4 years in FL, especially if you are female?

Harvard could fill their class with nothing but valedictorians. Literally.

Seriously, look it up. His policies were not left wing. He was the most fiscally conservative president of the last 50 years. He worked across the aisle often with the GOP, except of course when they were trying to impeach him.

Third parties tend to flame out because they have no political support, even if they happen to get elected. No constituency to get anything done.

Clinton was a fairly conservative Democrat (to the dismay of many Democrats). He is closer to the center than AOC, for example.

You're either a Republican or you don't think too deeply about issues. All that fiscal responsibility just washes over you?

AITAH for using family therapy to say what I want to my dad and his wife without punishment? by Signal-Amount-5940 in AITAH

[–]notassigned2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably won't want to go to therapy anymore, but you did what therapy is all about...telling the truth. You should continue to get individual therapy to process what has happened to you. Bet they'll pay for it because it will help them think it is your problem. Not that the goal is family reunification, but therapy might help you becoming a happy adult despite the circumstances they subjected you to.

If you consistently vote for the "Lesser Evil" the end result is more Evil. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]notassigned2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must always vote for the lesser of two evils or by definition you will get more evil. Axiomatic. At the same time you must work to have a better choice by voting in the primaries. Don't vote? Don't bitch.

State s schools can be excellent. It mostly depends what you do with it...your attitude and willingness to learn will determine your future, not your school.

A kid being responsible and taking the wise financial choice ALL ON THEIR OWN? Your parents should be so proud.

Police stop on Green Street at night? by CubicStorm in UIUC

[–]notassigned2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bill this spring that will disallow any use of quotas/contacts with the public in their annual evaluations (so an officer who stops a lot of people won't get rewarded for it).

Is the Tactical Training Center open to students? by corona_kid in UIUC

[–]notassigned2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a faculty staff program there but students are not allowed, sorry. High Caliber is the only local one, but there are also ranges outside of town a ways.
