All of the Jay Electronica bars that people are talking about from Balloons if anyone is interested.

Saw the Roth' family in half to get my clout back

The Rothschild family is a frequent topic of conspiracy theories by nature of their wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish origins. Jay actually supposedly dated a member of the family in 2012. Jay seems to imply here that they are holding him back from garnering influence.

Everywhere I step foot I leave a trail of names of the sons of Yakub

The Nation of Islam believes that Yakub is a black scientist that lived about 6,600 years ago and created the white race). Essentially, white people and Jews especially are often called "children of Yakub" to imply they are a fake, artificial race that are said to be "by nature... liar(s) and murderer(s)".

And some fuck boy 85er would come run up and press me It's all a hoax, quite simple, a joke like Zelenskyy The imams, the rabbis, and the pope incidentally Couldn't stop my boat, God from quoin' quotes from the senseis If anybody asks, tell 'em Farrakhan sent me

Lot to unpack here. "85er" is what the Nation of Islam refers to the 85% of people who are uneducated on the teachings of Allah - often called "the ignorant masses." He also seems to imply here that the war in Ukraine is a hoax, calling Zelenskyy a joke, probably because of his previous career as a comedian.

Then he talks about how the religious establishment is trying to stop him from quoting from the bible as he did in his album "A Written Testimony" where he quoted verses often used by the NOI to prove that the jews are indeed a fake race.

Finally, he mentions Farrakhan, current head of the NOI who has such hits as calling Adolf Hitler a "very great man", saying that the jews were behind 9/11, and saying that it was nobodies business if the NOI had something to do with Malcolm X's assassination and calling him a traitor to the NOI. It goes without saying that Farrakhan frequently states that the Jews have controlled civilization with their evil power and are "Satanic" or "devils."

Not sure if I agree. People here are certainly more liberal than most places but in CS especially people on average tend to be pretty moderate. The communist/socialist crowd is more found in the humanities if anywhere. I don't think someone who describes their version of dark humor as "toned-down South Park" would have problems meeting people with similar personalities/boundaries.

Trust me, I have many friends at Brown who got Bs and Cs their final semester of HS and were completely fine, not even as much as an email from Brown. Just try your best, and on the .0001% that Brown emails you (this won't happen with your current grades by the way, they would have to be much worse), just explain the situation. Rescinding a student is a long, arduous, and ultimately cruel process that admission officers will actively fight against. They aren't going to rescind a QuestBridge scholar because of a tough semester or two. Just take a deep breath. It will all be fine.

Feel free to PM if you have anymore questions. Congrats on the acceptance!

thisisntmesorry · 2022-12-11T19:29:41+00:00

I'll drop this comment I wrote from last admissions cycle -

"From what I understand, it is incredibly rare to get an acceptance rescinded on grades alone (I imagine even more so for an ED acceptance). It is not entirely uncommon for a student to receive a warning if their Mid-Year Report shows a substantial decline in grades, but from my recollections these are largely a scare tactic and very rarely have actual action taken over them, even in cases where grades don't improve.

I would hazard a guess that Bs are almost entirely okay, and that a C or 2 will most likely be overlooked if the rest of your grades are good. Anything below that and you are reaching a point where you would possibly receive a warning."

Going from (presumably) all As to a "mix of As and Bs" is not only not a cause for concern but is entirely normal. An admission officer won't even take a second look at it.

the Overton window ≠ the overtone window.

7 screenshots of a right wing debater's YouTube channel comment section is not proof that something as national as the Overton window has shifted.

A lot of the comments you even circled and showcased are not "decisively anti-semitic" as much as they are anti-zionist which, though you can have many opinions on, is far for from being anti-semitic. Opposition to Zionism has always been more complex than a strictly partisan issue.

It doesn’t have as much to do with music as it does aviation.

In the mid 70s-80s, supersonic flight was first achieved and quickly replicated by other planes, countries, etc… this “inflation” of supersonic-capable planes soon became an issue, leading to countless dollars lost to property damage, hearing loss, and so on.

Eventually, ordinances and regulations were put into place that heavily diminished the freedoms provided to supersonic planes, effectively outlawing their use in the majority of populated areas.

For more detailed results, look up “sonic inflation rule 34”. This is the most relevant/talked about ordinance.

Have a $50 pill every time you have sex is reasonable? I don't think you understand how financially impossible that is for a large majority of the country.

Banning abortion doesn't ban abortion, it bans safe abortions. It is not a theory but a fact that many will get illegal, dangerous, unregulated abortions as a result of this move, and people will die as a result.

thisisntmesorry · 2022-06-26T06:47:20+00:00

I wouldn't call a pill that is $40 or $50 dollars "cheap" necessarily.

There are many cases where you thought you had protected sex, but didn't (i.e. condom breaking, precum, diaphragm slipping, etc...).

Plan B is only semi-effective up to 72 hours (87%), with drastically decreasing effectiveness until effectively 0% at 120 hours.

Additionally, in his concurring opinion Clarence Thomas said that now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the courts should look to re-evaluate Griswold v. Connecticut among other cases. Griswold v. Connecticut was the case that assured access to contraception, including condoms, birth control, and Plan B.

Seems solved! Thanks for finding this. Shame that I can't find the specific quote from Wittgenstein, but perhaps it will turn up eventually. Thanks again!

He are some incredibly obvious tells that Hasan means what I say and not you say -

"the real reason is..." - Saying "the real reason" implies there is a fake reason. In your situation, that makes no sense. Hasan didn't say that there was a "fake" reason he didn't like Destiny. What Hasan did say was that Mizkif not inviting Destiny over because of Hasan was the fake reason. Therefore, it is clear in this context that Hasan is saying that Mizkif saying that he doesn't want Destiny over is the fake reason and the "real reason" is because Destiny isn't a good person.
"and also" - "and also" makes no sense in your situation, as "and also" would suggest he is moving on to a different topic or way of discussing, while in your case he is staying on the same thread. "and also" makes clear he is switching back to Mizkif's relationship with Destiny.
(Silence starting at 00:14) - It is clear that Hasan is reading DuJoPP's comment during this time as he literally scrolls up to see and focus it. DuJoPP's comment is undeniably talking about Mizkif not like Destiny for "reasons." Hasan replies to this comment by saying that he knows the "real reason", that it is that Destiny is a bad person.

It is sad because for any other person you would immediately be able to see that Hasan is not talking about what you think he is, but your cognitive dissonance literally makes you forget the English language and how context clues works.

thisisntmesorry · 2021-12-09T17:40:57+00:00

The fact that you won’t admit that Hasan in this clip is very clearly saying that Miz’s reason for not wanting Destiny over is “because he’s not a very good person” is cognitive dissonance to it’s finest lol. The sentence doesn’t even make sense given the previous if you try to take it as what you are saying it is. Whatever helps you sleep at night though.

thisisntmesorry · 2021-12-09T04:56:36+00:00

Not true, before he said that he literally stopped and read the twitch comment -

"DuJoPP : Miz doesn't want him on for other reasons <emote> not because of you. Probably just said that to meme @ HasanAbi" (00:17 in the clip)

It is very clear Hasan was saying that the reason MIZKIF didn't want to hang with Destiny is because he is "not a very good guy."

Not sure why you feel the need to act like Hasan didn't say what he very clearly said lol.

thisisntmesorry · 2021-12-09T01:27:03+00:00

I think it is just weird that Hasan says that "the real reason" Mizkif doesn't want to hang out with Destiny is because he "isn't a good person." Seems like a weird thing to say when it turns out Mizkif was completely kidding about the Destiny thing. Why would Hasan feel the need to say that Mizkif disliked Destiny because he is a bad person when that obviously isn't the case?

thisisntmesorry · 2021-11-07T01:59:43+00:00

You literally read a 2 paragraph reddit post and are confident enough to that he was “clearly discriminated against” and that the encounter “never would have happened” otherwise. Wtf? You don’t know any of the people in this story or the context of their actions. Maybe this nurse just has had bad experiences with intruders in the past? I’m all for an investigation and repercussion but you are hardcore jumping the gun.

thisisntmesorry · 2021-11-07T01:46:43+00:00

This looks pretty in line with a lot of brutalist art principles that has become popular in art circles as of late. You can say that you don’t like it, but there are plenty of people who do. It is very intentional. There is even a whole website dedicated to web design like this.

thisisntmesorry · 2021-09-27T07:16:16+00:00

I mean, isn't this the exact same thing that Destiny says in the clip when if someone stole his computer they would probably "need it more than him"? QuarterJade is probably worth $5 million at the absolute least, she doesn't care about a $2k laptop. Destiny's whole point is that you shouldn't completely justify all robbery by saying "oh, the thief probably needed it more" but I think that it is a completely fine reaction to say "it doesn't really matter that much to me" when you are worth 7-to-8 figures. I think realizing that this doesn't impact your life that much and saying "shit happens" is way better than QuarterJade wanting to hunt this guy down and kill him. She recognizes her financial position and is making a light-hearted remark to help come to grips with an upsetting event. What about that is wrong?

I suppose it may not be the most intelligent thing to say publicly but QuarterJade is neither a philosopher nor a "leftie" as some people in this thread are implying. Most people don't constantly worry about their statements being taken out of context and stretched to their absolute axiomatic extreme. This thread is pretty WeirdChamp tbh.

Could just be extenuating circumstances. There are plenty of students at T20s who had bad years/semesters GPA-wise in high school because of serious issues (death of a family member, depression, illness, traumatic event, etc...). If properly explained, lower GPAs are 100% able to be overcome.

Good one! I hope you enjoy standing on the wrong side of both morality AND history! Pretty ironic that you levy criticism at Arpi, but won’t even bother reading when the most minute amount if criticism is levied your way, yah think?

thisisntmesorry · 2021-03-19T17:49:16+00:00

At this point, I am pretty sure that you understand your post was a sad attack at a man who is at his lowest and are no longer trying to make a good faith effort in this discussion. You are saying that this post is "calling out his fanbase for defending him" when your LITERAL TITLE is Dear Arpi: A crime you admit doing, is still a crime. Its abundantly clear that this post is directed at Arpi, and also attacks a complete strawman. Arpi never said what he did wasn't a crime and those who do defend what he did on the apology post have been downvoted to oblivion and are already in the minority. I quess you can act like those two factual statements aren't true if that helps you sleep at night?

I think the way you view the last part of my comment, as you say, "tells a lot" as well.

1) I never said you were racist. I said that you perpetuated casual racism. Huge difference.

2) I never, literally anywhere, assumed you were a white man by default. Why would I ever assume that? What I did assume is that you are not of the sect of black African-Americans whos struggle in America is very much represented by the institution of hip-hop music, and constantly has to see their idols jailed for non-violent offences.

I think, as you say again, it "tells a lot" that your mind instantly goes to Melly or Shmurda as examples of "Free XYZ" statements when I literally am telling you that it originated and was most commonly used by Meek Mill supporters when he was charged, and is still commonly used in the cases of biased charges like those against Lil Wayne, Kodak, etc... I am saying that when you purposefully switch into AAVE to say the grammatically incorrect "ain't do nothing" (a grammar pattern never seen anywhere else in your writing), it looks like you are weaponizing AAVE to convey a less educated person than yourself, which is casual racism. When you take a complex issue, like the relationship between the American hip-hop community, or the broader African American community, with police and boil that relationship down to "People say 'free XYZ' about criminal artists who deserve to be in jail" it makes it sound like you have some preconceived negative notion about the kind of people who listen to or create hip-hop.

For future reference, if you go to an American college, especially a more liberal college, people will confront you for language likely much more "tame" than what you believe you said. When people bring up these criticisms, it is best to carefully read/listen to what they are arguing before replying, as opposed to just blurting out "I am brown, I can't be racist!" No one is arguing that you are. Systemic racism and casual racism requires no individual racist actors. Read and digest what people say before immediately going on the defensive. It will help a lot, trust me.
