Read a random definition: consumption tax

A quick definition of way:

A way is a path or passage that allows someone to travel over another person's property. It can be a private way, which is the right to pass over someone else's land, or a way of necessity, which is created by law to allow access to nearby property. An easement is a type of way that gives someone the right to use or control another person's land for a specific purpose, like crossing it to get to a public road. There are different types of easements, like affirmative easements that force the landowner to permit certain actions, or negative easements that prohibit the landowner from doing something. Easements can be created by law or by agreement between the parties involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A passage or path. A right to travel over another's property. An interest in land owned by another person, consisting in the right to use or control the land, or an area above or below it, for a specific limited purpose.

Examples: A private way is the right to pass over another's land. An access easement is an easement allowing one or more persons to travel across another's land to get to a nearby location, such as a road. A light-and-air easement is a negative easement preventing an adjoining landowner from constructing a building that would prevent light or air from reaching the dominant estate.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

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
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.
