Justice Smith - why don't celebrities hve real names?

@Jacob for someone looking for more risk, Elastic Search just went public
Why do you change your name every day?
Whom?
Elastic search is a high risk stock now, just IPO'd
But probably a good future
now she's telling me about how my cousin is trying to go to MIT
interesting
@Jacob lots of people *try* to go to MIT
that guy has an insane resume
Insane resume plus perfect SAT score?
well uh
he never lived in the US so no SAT
There's actually calculators online now where you can put in your attributes and see your acceptance chance
@Jacob for undergrad he will need an SAT or ACT
Perfect score on either
oh he's trying to get a PhD
@Jacob perfect GREs I expect? That's kind of a bare minimum for any top 20 grad school
my mom doesn't know the difference between bachelor's and master's so she's having trouble explaining lol
The specialized GRE for his discipline I mean
@ThisIsChris @Nemets It depends on which era were talking about. The early Roman empire was both very centralized in somethings and very decentralized in others.
@ThisIsChris idk probably
@Jacob yeah it's easier to get a perfect GRE score if you did that major. Easier than getting a perfect SAT schore
Tax collection was decentralized at first, the Emperor would essentially deputize tax collectors to tax a province with little oversite so abuse and corruption was rampant, they moved away from that eventually.
@Jacob still he should apply to a very large range of grad schools
I applied to 37
wow
Were tax collectors ever killed by people?
Although not ideal, Rome breaking into 3 parts during the crisis of the third century allowed the central roman empire's retarded politics of come and go emperors to not affect the Gaulic or Palmynran Empires, in fact the Palmyran Empire slapped Parthia hard
Was that a common occurrence?
@Jacob I'll be honest with my concern: when I hear someone saying they're applying to MIT, I want to know that they're applying to at least 30 other schools. Saying "ah if I don't go to MIT then I won't get a phd" is a bit silly. If that is someone's attitude then they probably should be going for a PhD anyway
@Selma I'm not sure but in the bible they were spoken of as hated, hence people asking Jesus what he was doing hanging out with one of them
At church they equate tax collectors with prostitutes in a manner of speaking.
Aquaducts and roads were centralized
