Midwestern here.

I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they're Midwest also.

There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it's not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.

YouTube had already gone through several eras a decade ago.

Saying that makes me want to yell at a cloud.

I can see a certain angle where it makes sense: youth/general outreach, educating people about the court system. Something a little more interactive/entertaining than CSPAN, but more real than Judge Judy.

But you throw "influencer culture" into the mix and you've got a disastrous recipe for The Chat influencing the outcome of cases.

And he pulled out of a mutually beneficial nuclear treaty so that he could slap a bunch of sanctions on them.

In order for the tides to rise significantly in the Baltic or Mediterranean, you'd need that much extra water to flow through the narrow opening in the straits of Gibraltar/Denmark.

The Baltic sea also probably is less affected because it's so far north, and the tides are based on the Moon's (not-quite-equatorial, but not THAT inclined) orbit.

This definitely seems like the more likely explanation. There certainly is a mental/emotional hell you go through in academia, but with this y-axis being specifically about psychiatric medication... all I'm seeing is that grad students like/need Adderall.

The vast majority of the time, nepotism refers to a patent giving their children special privileges due to the power the parent has.

The word itself comes from from the Italian word for "nephew", because of a trend of "nephews" of popes getting special privileges (often, these were the popes' illegitimate sons).

I'm not a lawyer, but a piece of legal advice I've seen repeated many times is "Never threaten to sue. Just sue."

As soon as you threaten to sue, you'll never be able to talk to anybody except the legal team, and they'll do nothing to help your case.

Can someone let me into the top floor of a wall street office building so I can become finance-class?
