ParticipantI think the past was different.
In the old days, 4.2 gpa 1400 plus sat was not an sdsu waitlist. I hear it was more like 3.2 gpa.
It’s like everyone figured out, this is a DEAL
Participantim hoping this somehow presents an opportunity for my little one to sneak in off the waitlist. I’d gladly pay 7.4k for sdsu, even for video, but 14.3k for ucsb seems like a ripoff. 7k a year savings, times 4 years is 28k, keep that invested, maybe have 50k in 5 years, enough to pay for half a year of dental school.
i want the little one to be a dentist. or an orthodontist. i’ll do reception
ParticipantI’ve become better at accepting losses but Im Still bad. Someone told me a neat trick for not getting irritated at smaller screwups.
Set aside 1k for small failures.
When u get a parking tkt, dont get mad, say, ah of course. Here’s one of this years screw ups I set money aside for.
It works.
Better than raving at a ticket.
ParticipantIt’s hard to eat a loss.
I’d consider the 5k as lost either way and just think independent of the 5k do I want to move forward.
Look at it this way. If you bail, and its relisted will the price be 5k less?

America is senile.
If the founders could have known future life expectancies, I’m sure they would have put a min and max age for the presidency[/quote]
The young are at fault too, because they apologize for their elders.
My theory is that young men are insecure and need a sense of belonging so they apologize and follow in their dads’ footsteps. It’s like the retired cop dad and his son who killed the black dude. They are the very definition of deplorable. If I had a dad like that, I’d move away and never come back.The young need to pull themselves up by the bootstrap and repudiate the wrong ways of their elders.[/quote]
A Clearing away of old people, like myself, would do wonders for emotional freedom of the youth. the mere presence of old people inhibits the youth.
i think there may actually be too much oldness in society. We are not wise. we are the sum of repeated mistakes who think we might do it better if we could. but really, we are a bunch of desperate, greedy, clutching old fools.
trump is right. the old must die.
Participanthouse. a LOT. not justa few. ALL OVER.
they are more than welcome to live in the yard.
been waging earwig war. making earwig traps. fly swatting like mad.
still, they come.
the earwig apocalypse.
ParticipantNever trust anyone over 30.
Weinberg is the person who coined the saying “Don’t trust anyone over 30”.[21][22] The saying exists in several variants, such as “Never trust anybody over 30”. Origination of the saying has been wrongly attributed to Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, the Beatles, and others. In November 1964, Weinberg was interviewed by a reporter[23] for the San Francisco Chronicle working on a story about the Free Speech Movement. Weinberg tells the story like this:
I was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter, and he was making me very angry. It seemed to me his questions were implying that we were being directed behind the scenes by Communists or some other sinister group. I told him we had a saying in the movement that we don’t trust anybody over 30. It was a way of telling the guy to back off, that nobody was pulling our strings.[24]
On November 15, 1964, the Chronicle printed the story, quoting Weinberg as saying “We have a saying in the movement that you can’t trust anybody over 30.”[10]
A Chronicle columnist, Ralph J. Gleason, highlighted the saying in his column on November 18.[25] The saying then went viral, becoming a favorite for reporters and columnists wishing to ridicule the young, the New Left, or the hippie/Yippie movement. That annoyed Weinberg, who has said
I’ve done some things in my life I think are very important, and my one sentence in history turns out to be something I said off the top of my head which became completely distorted and misunderstood. But I’ve become more accepting of fate as I get older.[24]
ParticipantNow….
Biden, 77
Trump, 73
Should they stroke out…
Pelosi, 80.
Pence, 60
This is unacceptable.
Nixon was a reasonable age.
60 year olds off the bridge!
America is senile.
If the founders could have known future life expectancies, I’m sure they would have put a min and max age for the presidency
ParticipantReagan. 70. Fuck…no, the oldsters are taking over!
Bush sr. 65.
Seemed so much…older
Bill clinton. 47. Too young, still thought constantly of getting laid
Bush, 55
Obama, 48.
ParticipantJimmy carter 53!!!! Wiw. A newborn babe
ParticipantGerald ford, spring chicken 61
ParticipantWikipedia… senicide…
I especially like the ancient Roman proverb…”60 year olds off the bridge!”
A little superficial research indicates this may have been more a political statement, the bridge led to the polling place, and old people were thought to be dumb voters…but still, it has a nice ring to it.
No one over 60 can vote in the USA. Cause you’re DEAD!!!! Hahahahaha.
Personally, I think if every single american over age 55 died tomorrow, we would have a better country. Dont you? The average age of presidential candidates is symptomatic of the problem. Old people are draining america of its life force. Plus old people are stuck in old ways of thought
That’s why the Roman’s wisely cut off voting from people over 60. They watch fox news. Their brains are soft. They just want to sit around and complain of how everythings gone to shit.
Heruli
The Heruli were a Germanic tribe during the Migration Period (about 400 to 800 CE). Procopius states in his work The Wars, that the Heruli placed the sick and elderly on a tall stack of wood and stabbed them to death before setting the pyre alight.[4]India
In the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the illegal practice of senicide – known locally as thalaikoothal – is said to occur dozens or perhaps hundreds of times each year.[5]Inuit
A common belief is that the Inuit would leave their elderly on the ice to die. Senicide among the Inuit people was rare, except during famines. The last known case of an Inuit senicide was in 1939.[6][7][8][9]Japan
Ubasute (姥捨, ‘abandoning an old woman’), a custom allegedly performed in Japan in the distant past, whereby an infirm or elderly relative was carried to a mountain, or some other remote, desolate place, and left there to die. This custom has been vividly depicted in The Ballad of Narayama (a 1956 novel by Shichirō Fukazawa, a 1958 film, and a 1983 film).Sardinia
An alleged custom was to throw incapable or ill elders off certain cliffs, a confirmed practice was the performing of euthanasia on ill, senile or suffering elders carried out by selected women named accabbadoras (lit. ‘terminator’ or ‘ender’) that after a blessing of the soon to be deceased would proceed to kill them through suffocation or blunt force to the back of the head by wooden mallet.Serbia
Main article: Lapot
Lapot is a mythical Serbian practice of disposing of one’s parents.Sweden
Main article: Ättestupa
In Nordic folklore, the ättestupa is a cliff where elderly people were said to leap, or be thrown, to death. While the practice has no historical evidence, the trope has survived as an urban legend, and a metaphor for deficient welfare for the elderly.Greece
Parkin provides eighteen cases of senicide which the people of antiquity believed happened.[10]:265 Of these cases, only two of them occurred in Greek society; another took place in Roman society, while the rest happened in other cultures. One example that Parkin provides is of the island of Keos in the Aegean Sea. Although many different variations of the Keian story exist, the legendary practice may have begun when the Athenians besieged the island. In an attempt to preserve the food supply, the Keians voted for all people over 60 years of age to commit suicide by drinking hemlock.[10]:264 The other case of Roman senicide occurred on the island of Sardinia, where human sacrifices of 70-years-old fathers were made by their sons to the titan Cronus.Rome
The case of institutionalized senicide occurring in Rome comes from a proverb stating that 60-year-olds were to be thrown from the bridge[citation needed]. Whether or not this act occurred in reality was highly disputed in antiquity[citation needed] and continues to be doubted today. The most comprehensive explanation of the tradition comes from Festus writing in the fourth century AD who provides several different beliefs of the origin of the act, including human sacrifice by ancient Roman natives, a Herculean association, and the notion that older men should not vote because they no longer provided a duty to the state.[10]:267 This idea to throw older men into the river probably coincides with the last explanation given by Festus. That is, younger men did not want the older generations to overshadow their wishes and ambitions and, therefore, suggested that the old men should be thrown off the bridge, where voting took place, and not be allowed to vote.ParticipantMaybe usa being number 1 for corona deaths is a badge of honor for trumpers. A sign of freedom.
Less deaths, less freedom.
More deaths, more freedom.
It makes sense, actually.
The world hates us for our freedom.
Because we dont wear masks or cower before dictatorial viruses, because we have the courage to lead the world even if we have to kill millions of our people….
Plus, death by virus has a pseudo capitalist feel to it. Culling weaker entities.
And I think we have a deep longstanding contempt for the elderly. So although people dont say it, I think the average american believes that less elderly is a good thing.
I mean, I dont feel like I identify at all with that idea, but I do think we spend way too much money on medical care prolonging end of life for the elderly. So maybe I’m part way there.
I have always felt irrationally that it was kind of dumb of people to be old.
Young, better.
I could see a much higher death toll being a positive in the 2020 election. 500k dead.
Trump makes the hard choices to make america great.
Freedom fries for everyone!!!
Would be beautiful if trump wins because subconsciously all the swing states really wanted to kill all the older folk, but then dies, because hes old.
I’m starting to get old and I can sense I’m irtitating to my kids. I repeat myself. I’m dated. I like old shit. I dress funny. I’m wrinkly. My hair is grey. I’m skinny, but I think I’m becoming a skinny old man, which is different. And repulsive. My house smells weird. And I’m just starting out in my journey into oldness. I’m sure if I was truly elderly with lots of problems,they’d be thinking, at least occasionally, come on old man, do you really like living like this? How bothersome that we have to worry about you. Have u not lived enough?
I remember coming home to see my parents after a spell. And thinking my G-d what the hell happened, they look so much older
Really at this point, mass death is trumps best play. Screw half measures. Pedal to the metal on the economy, kill the weak, let G-d sort em out.
When trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave and get a pass, what he really meant was he could allow 1 million elderly to die and america would celebrate.
If every single usa citizen over age 62 died, would the survivors really be angry, like Benghazi angry?
I would say, no. I’d say the survivors would actually be happier. A little sad, on the surface. Bit of mourning. A small void.
But deeper down, relieved. 62. Clear the social security rolls, forgive all student debt, reset.
You really think young people wouldnt be overjoyed?
People r funny
Participant[quote=teaboy]I guess any endgame should start with a definition of what constitutes an “end.”
Tb“How Pandemics End”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/health/coronavirus-plague-pandemic-history.html%5B/quote%5DYes, interesting.
The endgame is is we just get used to lots of death
The insanity over the Benghazi desths… the tragedy of 3000 at world trade center.
The ho hum, life goes on over 1 million corona deaths.
Deaths are only useful to score points. Otherwise, they may be ignored e.r d
HILLARY LIED

It’s definitely comedy at this point. -
