throwaway

Read a random definition: AWOL

A quick definition of throwaway:

Term: THROWAWAY

Definition: A throwaway is a young person who has been forced to leave their home by their parent or caregiver, or a young person who has run away and is not allowed to return home by their parent or caregiver.

(Note: "throwaway" is a slang term and should not be used to describe a person. It is important to treat all individuals with respect and dignity.)

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A throwaway is a term used in slang to refer to two different situations. The first situation is when a minor who is not yet emancipated is forced to leave their home by their parent or caregiver. The second situation is when a runaway is not allowed to return home by their parent or caregiver.

Examples:

  • A 16-year-old girl is kicked out of her home by her mother and forced to live on the streets. She is considered a throwaway.
  • A 14-year-old boy runs away from home and is found by the police. When his father is contacted, he refuses to allow the boy to come back home. The boy is now a throwaway.

These examples illustrate how a throwaway is a minor who is abandoned or rejected by their parent or caregiver. It is a sad and unfortunate situation that can lead to homelessness and other negative outcomes for the child.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

Funniest shit about Oppenheimer to me was some chick at the end of the movie saying dead serious to her boyfriend "That movie was kinda boring, I wish there were more explosions". Like she wanted us to bomb Japan harder or something. It was such an awkward thing to say and it made me laugh.
