You don't need to go into a fancy school (I'm assuming you mean Ivy League) to get into a program with prestige, if that's what you're saying. Lori Loughlin paid half a million to get her daughter into USC, for example.

I'm not following this. What do you mean "after that?"

Okay, then yeah, that's quite a different background. This goes to the same point: Law, medical, journalism, meteorology, music, accounting, etc. etc. are also part of that. Many schools specialize in this stuff. You have a meteorology degree from the University of Mississippi? Means a lot. You have a music education degree from Florida State University? Means a lot. You have a journalism or law degree from the University of Florida, or a journalism degree at Syracuse or Arizona State? Means a lot. I could be mixing a few universities up, but many universities have amazing colleges that are nationally known and give you significantly more resources with which to work than someone at another school pursuing the same degree.

@mclumber1 I'm curious that you asked this. I thought it was common knowledge that getting into a certain school is important, but this is actually new to me that some people don't understand/realize the importance. What's your background, if you don't mind my asking?

Think of this way way: Rich parents can send their kids to the same college and benefit from the legacy system Rich kids don't have to work and study Rich kids can afford all the SAT prep and tutors they need Rich kids have more time for more AP classes and dual enrollment classes Rich kids can have their mommy pay $15,000 to change their SAT location so they get unlimited time But someone will look at you and think you unfairly benefit by your skin color.

From my experience, I went to UF, and it has one of the best journalism schools in the nation. If you apply for a job and the news director sees that you came from there, that means something. So yes unless you have a different meaning.

I have a thread in entertainment for the entertainment side of it (deserves a second thread here, so kudos), so sorry for the double post.

Olivia Jade has continued to express views that attending college was not her dream. In a recent podcast interview on the “Zach Sang Show," she said she attends USC “mostly because my parents really wanted me to go.”

Just saw this post made about the story: "Fuck Fuller House, Netflix should do a show with their actual real life personalities. A meth head, a religious whack job, a couple terrible comics, and a helicopter parent committing fraud to get her privileged fuck wit of a daughter into college all living together in hilarity. That’s a show I’d watch."

Interesting that both he and Laura took "vacations" around the time they caught heat.

Interesting sequence of posts.

In case someone wants to know where that quote came from.

Then Frasier looks at them. "HOW DAAAARRREEEEE YOU!" and after proclaiming his love after all the crap she pulled that night, she dumps her after ridiculing his bathroom decor.

Also, despite Huffman's work throughout her career, I associate her so much with the character @MarSolo despises. I hate that character, too. He sendoff was pretty amazing, though.

The US Climate Alliance is a group of governors who aim to: Implement policies that advance the goals of the Paris Agreement, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 Track and report progress to the global community in appropriate settings, including when the world convenes to take stock of the Paris Agreement, and Accelerate new and existing policies to reduce carbon pollution and promote clean energy deployment at the state and federal level. He joins many other governors who joined this year who won in 2018, the governors of: Illinois Maine Michigan New Mexico Wisconsin The alliance represents more than half of the US population.

It was with Nixon as well until it wasn't, but yeah, it could be digging a little too deep. I just think a better response would be that impeachment would happen if Congress could be absolutely sure that something he did reached high crimes and misdemeanors.
