I think that's tough to argue. In a forklift controls are always "neutralized". Lift, tilt, shift, etc all put themselves into neutral when you're not using them. And an ignition key in the off position, hard to argue that's not neutral. That's semantics that I think really wouldn't hold up.

“No* guy is not* watching watching because of no* female leads.”

oh boy... uh...

- I think maybe you are telling me that every guy is watching because of no female leads?

- Maybe you are saying that every guy is not watching because of female leads?

- no guy is watching because of females leads?

This is more like a puzzle than a sentence and the cheery on top is it doesn’t even contextually line with “the 2nd part” in any way that makes sense so I can’t even tell if my interpretations are remotely close to what you meant.

Here are some of the differences at "top" schools:

  • Many professors are luminaries in their field. You'll be taking a class from the person who wrote the textbook everyone uses. Your next class is taught by the person who literally invented/discovered the technique you're learning that week.
  • The students are more highly motivated, on average. You're surrounded by "people who wanted to go to a top school", rather than "people who wanted to go to college".
  • For better or for worse, you're surrounded by wealth. Some of your classmates will have wealthy parents and connections.
  • The schools have a lot more money for fancier equipment and labs.
  • Companies love the prestige of hiring from top schools. You'll be recruited heavily.

It doesn't necessarily mean you'll actually learn more. Really that's mostly up to you. I do think there's a difference in difficulty and expectations for courses, but it may be that's more due to the average caliber of students being higher rather than the school actually teaching more.

Also, not all top schools prioritize teaching quality. Many small liberal arts colleges have 100% of courses taught by full professors who care about teaching, while many top universities don't prioritize teaching, especially lower-level classes, and many undergraduate classes are taught by grad students who don't have any teaching experience.

How much you learn is mostly up to you. You can learn just as much and have just as many opportunities at an average school, but you might have to work harder and seek them out. At a top school, it's harder to get in, but once you get in you'll have more opportunities.

> Massive L. This is horrifying.

hopefully they keep appealing and bring this up to federal courts, but it sounds like they're content calling it a day since the mandates have been thrown in the trash where they belong so they don't care anymore.

Credit Card Question:

I'm thinking about getting my 3rd Credit Card and am interested in Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card. My credit score is approaching the Excellent mark, so I might get approved. I'm only interested in the special financing option similar to PayPal where you pay a certain amount per month. But after looking on the website, it isn't too clear if it is available for this card. I think the store cards are more explicit about it. My question for anyone who has this card is if you get access to special financing similar to Amazon Store Card with the Amazon Rewards Visa Card?

Ignoring the obvious choices like FIFA and Call of Duty, I really think Pokémon is overrated now.

I played from Red and Blue through to Arceus and honestly the games stink of a lack of effort put into them. The stories are always the same and I don't find the world's overly engaging.

Arceus was a total refreshment and it was great but other than that I don't think there's been a great Pokémon game since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
