A quick definition of possessory interest:

Term: Possessory interest

Definition: Possessory interest means that someone has the right to use or occupy a piece of land or property, but they don't own it. It's like renting a house or apartment. The person with the possessory interest can control the property, but they have to follow certain rules. Sometimes, the government can tax the possessory interest, especially if it's for government property that someone is using.

A more thorough explanation:

Possessory interest

Possessory interest refers to the right of an individual to occupy or possess a piece of property, even though they do not own it. This means that the person has some present right to control the property, such as a lease or rental agreement.

For example, if you rent an apartment, you have a possessory interest in the property. You have the right to live there and use the space, but you do not own the apartment.

Possessory interest can also arise in situations where a person or entity has temporary use of government-owned property. In these cases, the possessory interest may be taxable.

For instance, if a business is granted a possessory interest in a piece of government-owned land to build a parking lot, they may be required to pay taxes on the value of that interest.

Overall, possessory interest refers to the right to possess and control property, even if you do not own it outright.

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
just submitted my first ever app! and now I am consumed by The Dread
23:55
@SassyLearnedSquid: congrats
23:56
@OppositeEarlyCorgi: yep, fuckin sucks. My community college is scalled down by LSAC so I go from a 3.77 to a 3.44 or some shit like that.
23:58
My community college didn't have the A+ grade and only A's at 4.0 so there are classes I know I got an A+ in and should have a 4.0 but LSAC sees it as a 3.7 or whatever.
23:58
Idk, hard to describe.
23:59
My bad, should have had 4.33 but LSAC sees it as 4.0
