@80Creature@ThatsMauvelous 10 drinks over three hours is absolutely insane for a typically sized 20 year old. I was done at one in my early 20s. I just Googled what it would have done to someone with the BMI I had at that age and apparently it is alcohol poisoning/loss of motor control range.
@stillwater4u@mtoney919919 It actually explains this comment. I thought you were a hater, but if you are actually from Africa you may not understand how common a look fringe chaps are in the South. lol
@slubique63@AstorAaron Weather and culture. These are more pleasant institutions. Nothing more. My kid was bicoastal and refused to even consider East Coast schools with the rationale being they could be cold and miserable in grad school.
@markyzaguirre@AstorAaron The states won't allow that at their flagships. There will come a point where the returns are limited and the obligation to educate state citizens remain. They're going to eventually go the way of formally capping OOS students, like Florida, NC and Texas did.
@Sammyr07329352@MMedinanews Correct. Anyone advising her to make herself a spectacle over this is not a friend or lacking judgment. In any space we enter as POC, we must hold ourselves to the most rigorous standard or risk disproportionate response to what's an innocuous misstep for a mediocre white person.
@MMedinanews Please wear sleeves to court. For most professionals, this would be an embarrassing incident they hid in their hearts, but which taught them a valuable lesson about generally unspoken rules of professionalism, not social media fodder.
@GfedGoCrazy UT is the University of Texas at Austin, and no other University of Texas location. It is certainly not Tennessee. Texas is also the University of Texas at Austin. Tennessee is the University of Tennessee. Anybody saying otherwise is being facetious.
@DanteJeffe14617 Correct. Everybody I know (including myself) did so to to ensure their children were exposed to more Black children or to get them access to a school that equitably educates Black children (as suburban schools tend to be abysmal at this menial task).
@mkhammer She is a journalist, not an education expert. No education expert would do what she did because they would understand the risks they were exposing their child to.
@SellersCounsel I would carve out exceptions for UT and Vandy, and especially so if you are practicing in the South. Maybe Notre Dame, too, if you will be somewhere where signaling conservatism garners social capital. WUSTL prob is disproportionately favored across the Midwest.
