A quick definition of negligent manslaughter:

Term: Negligent Manslaughter

Definition: Negligent manslaughter is when someone causes the death of another person without intending to do so, but through criminal negligence or while committing a crime that is not considered murder. It is also called involuntary manslaughter or second-degree manslaughter. This means that the person did not mean to kill anyone, but their actions were careless or reckless and caused someone to die. It is different from murder because there was no intention to kill.

A more thorough explanation:

Negegligent manslaughter is a type of involuntary manslaughter where a person causes the death of another person due to criminal negligence or during the commission of a crime that is not included in the felony-murder rule. It is also known as second-degree manslaughter or manslaughter in the second degree.

For example, if a person is driving under the influence of alcohol and causes a fatal car accident, they could be charged with negligent manslaughter. Another example is if a person is handling a firearm recklessly and accidentally shoots and kills someone.

These examples illustrate the definition of negligent manslaughter because in both cases, the person did not intend to kill anyone, but their actions were criminally negligent and resulted in the death of another person.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
