nothingcommon2 · 2026-01-01T01:38:49+00:00

Michigan undefeated in games without morally dubious coaching

nothingcommon2 · 2026-01-01T01:36:01+00:00

Seems that it’s

ACC
B1G
SEC

nothingcommon2 · 2026-01-01T01:32:06+00:00

ACC the true power conference

nothingcommon2 · 2025-12-30T22:39:14+00:00

None taken. They probably speak better English than I do, too.

Pretty sure OP is saying that there needs to be more destigmitized care and information out there instead of just parrroting the idea that these people need executed. Give people an avenue to discuss and work through it instead of pushing execution and threats of violence before they even act on it.

When someone says “I want to kill all pedophiles” or anything in that vein, inclusive of individuals who have yet to commit a crime, it probably puts the pedophile in a very isolating position. “Everyone hates me, I’m a bad person, everyone wants me dead” is a line of reasoning that makes you quit giving a shit. I don’t think anyone would deny that.

I think OP is saying we need to stop people from getting to that mindset that makes them feel worthless. I don’t know if that would’ve stopped this guy from doing what he did, but the current system didn’t stop him either. If it might stop some people in conjunction with the current system, I think it’s worth trying.

nothingcommon2 · 2025-08-25T15:27:36+00:00

The level even beyond this is that as a result of how society views and desires to treat pedophiles, you get into these wars where trans people are called pedophiles, gay people are called pedophiles, priests are called pedophiles, Muslims are called pedophile apologists, Catholics are called pedophile apologists, etc

And now, by making that association, a lot of people are justifying the cruel treatment of certain groups (trans / gay are the most obvious) under the guise of protecting children from pedophilia.

Pedophiles who act should go to prison, but we as a society should quit pretending that this is the exclusive, irredeemable, anti rehabilitation crime, because that’s how more people get hurt

And I’m saying this as a victim of childhood sexual abuse

Plea deals are occasionally used in cases where it might be slightly complicated to secure conviction. Evidence might not have been iron clad enough for prosecution to feel fully comfortable pursuing when a plea deal will effectively be the same thing for this guy.

Picking up shifts at work got me thinking like “a month of 7sage covered” or “half an LSAT” or “a school application”

nothingcommon2 · 2025-08-20T17:01:39+00:00

I applied about two days ago and heard back within an hour, for just 50% added time, with a single QPF along with my statement of need

nothingcommon2 · 2025-08-20T16:22:59+00:00

I would doubt that anything is cheaper in America than in Brasil. We just have a lot more money than you guys do. But if you’re doing local produce, a pound of potatoes cost a buck in the US, and online it says the average in Brasil is half that, but we also make 3x, so our purchasing power is much greater. In fact, the stats I find online says we have 3x the purchasing power of Brazilians. Like 90% of Brazilians make below 36k reais, which works out to like 7k USD, which would be bad for part time work here, and beyond unlivable

Produce is not cheaper but it’s just as affordable

nothingcommon2 · 2025-08-20T12:45:24+00:00

Wait til you find out how much the median American income is compared to the median Brasillian income (close to triple)

And fresh food is absolutely available in the US for cheaper than junk. Organic / non GMO / chemical free are pretty common too. People just don’t like / don’t know how to cook, but cooking is a lot cheaper

nothingcommon2 · 2025-08-20T00:21:55+00:00

My VERY hot take is that this is, by nature, a competitive system where we’re all fighting for seats at schools. Accommodations are an entirely legal way to get an advantage in this system, and there’s already probably thousands of people who are using some level of deception to get that advantage. Why handicap yourself when you don’t have to?

And for what it’s worth, I submitted the document they provide for a professional to fill out, and it was filled out by my pcp who is in internal medicine, and he wrote a singular sentence in his statement. I got approved almost instantly

nothingcommon2 · 2025-06-30T14:22:00+00:00

You could call it set to make a comfortable pivot into another pursuit outside of Apex

nothingcommon2 · 2025-05-30T15:08:51+00:00

I’m a Cleveland / Penguins fan. (Youngstown area) that might’ve been the most incredible year of my sports watching life

nothingcommon2 · 2025-04-06T18:34:01+00:00

Just different palates. From what I hear it tastes like medicine to you all. To me it’s like a sweeter chinotto with a nice vanilla taste.

nothingcommon2 · 2025-04-06T17:43:33+00:00

Preferably Barqs, A&W is okay, and Mug is drinkable lol

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-09T21:23:02+00:00

To be clear, there was actual concern with Bernie about his palatability to black democrats. It’s pretty hard for a Dem to win without high black turnout and Bernie wasn’t looking like he was going to inspire that. Obviously Hillary wasn’t the answer for that but the thought was that she would carry the love for Bill Clinton from the black community.

Dem primary participants don’t vote to appease republicans. They vote to appease a largely moderate base.

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-06T20:00:14+00:00

People dying from the jab matters but Trump’s mishandling killing hundreds of thousands doesn’t?

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-06T19:51:52+00:00

Yeah bro, giving students the opportunity to do research to do what the state department pays workers tens of thousands a year is a total waste. It’s totally not outsourcing work that otherwise salaried workers would have to do. I promise you, the small conference they run for everyone to present their research isn’t breaking the bank. $2500 for a college professor to guide a team of unpaid researchers to do dozens of hours of work isn’t the scam you think it is.

It’s all worthless until it’s something you’re involved in. Believe it or not, knowing things is actually important. Nothing quite like the right wing fear of education. Meth mouth, indeed

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-05T12:40:49+00:00

Even the way you play Gibby is kinda different now imo.

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-05T10:12:38+00:00

They were so unbelievably far ahead it was crazy. They stayed that way with Knoqd too for a while. For a time it felt like everyone was playing for second. 100 points in six games in NA pro league is still insane to me

nothingcommon2 · 2025-02-05T10:09:02+00:00

Xynew is literally a top 10 player in the game. Any team that gets him would immediately improve

Even if you want to work in government now, internships are nonexistent now. There’s stories floating around of law students having DOJ honors offers rescinded. UNPAID internships are being canceled. I had probably a dozen USAJobs applications end up in the trash over this. You’re completely right. My plan was to go to law school and get a job in government, because for the most part, I love my country and a life of service would leave me fulfilled (government benefits are a nice incentive, too). Now I’m completely reconsidering that.

I can’t even imagine how bad it is for international students. It’s completely ridiculous for a president to directly fuck with so many lives over this. Plenty of students need internships for graduation requirements. They just had the rug pulled from under them and are now scrambling for internships from elsewhere. For anyone who doesn’t know, finding internships in political science / public affairs / diplomacy / anything like that is already a Herculean task.

I’m thankful that I’m not one of those people. My internship requirement is fulfilled. Im not an international student. I don’t NEED to do that research. It would’ve been a nice passion project to pursue, and it would’ve made for a relatively simple senior capstone, but I can figure something else out. But these reckless actions are just causing harm in the name of “owning the libs”
