A quick definition of political crime:

Political crime refers to a type of crime that is committed against a country's government or security, such as treason, sedition, or espionage. These crimes are considered serious and can result in severe punishment. In international law, a person who commits a political offense cannot be extradited to another country.

A more thorough explanation:

A political crime, also known as a political offense, is a type of crime that is committed against the security or government of a nation. Examples of political crimes include treason, sedition, and espionage.

For instance, if someone were to leak classified government information to a foreign country, they would be committing espionage, which is a political crime. Similarly, if someone were to attempt to overthrow the government, they would be committing sedition, which is also a political crime.

It is important to note that under international law, a person who commits a political offense cannot be extradited to another country. This means that if someone commits a political crime in one country and then flees to another country, they cannot be sent back to the country where the crime was committed to face trial.

Overall, political crimes are serious offenses that threaten the stability and security of a nation. They are often punished more severely than other types of crimes due to their potential to cause harm on a larger scale.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
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.
18:50
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.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
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.
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.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
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.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
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
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
