non sequitur

Read a random definition: useless-gesture exception

A quick definition of non sequitur:

Non sequitur means that something doesn't make sense or doesn't follow logically. It can be used to describe a mistake in reasoning or a comment that doesn't relate to what was said before. It's like when someone says something that doesn't fit with what they were talking about before, or when they draw a conclusion that doesn't make sense based on the facts.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Non sequitur is a Latin phrase that means "it does not follow." It is used to describe a logical fallacy or an illogical conclusion. This occurs when an inference or conclusion is made that does not follow from the premise. Non sequitur can also refer to a response or comment that has no connection to what was previously said, a random remark.

  • John is a great basketball player. Therefore, he must be good at math. (This is a non sequitur because being good at basketball does not necessarily mean someone is good at math.)
  • Person A: "I think we should invest in renewable energy." Person B: "I heard that the new Star Wars movie is coming out soon." (This is a non sequitur because Person B's response has nothing to do with what Person A said.)

These examples illustrate how a non sequitur can be a logical fallacy or a random remark that has no connection to the previous statement. It is important to avoid making non sequiturs in arguments or conversations to ensure that the discussion stays on topic and logical.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
