A quick definition of mendacity:

Term: MENDACITY

Definition: Mendacity means not telling the truth. It is when someone says something that is not true. Another word for mendacity is a lie. If someone is mendacious, it means they are not honest.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mendacity (men-das-uh-tee) is the quality of being untruthful or dishonest. It can also refer to a lie or falsehood.

Examples:

  • When the politician was caught in a web of mendacity, he lost the trust of his constituents.
  • She couldn't keep up with her own mendacity and eventually confessed to the crime.

The first example illustrates how mendacity can lead to a loss of trust, while the second example shows how it can be difficult to maintain a web of lies.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
Dkkm11
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
[] baddestbunny
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person

Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
Dkkm11

It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
Dkkm11
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
[] baddestbunny
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
[] baddestbunny
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
Dkkm11
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
Dkkm11
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
[] baddestbunny
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
[] baddestbunny
18:56
oh okay
[] baddestbunny
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
Dkkm11
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
[] baddestbunny
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
[] baddestbunny
18:57
or just drills
Dkkm11
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
Dkkm11
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
