Yep. They trolled the internet and CNN took the bait and ran with it, just like Russian collusion or the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 flight being sucked into a black hole. Now its a good old fashioned triggering hand gesture. If only someone could convince that breathing earths air was White Supremacy...

No. That's colonial privilege. So we tax it via carbon credits.

We played the circle game, too. In NC..pretty sure it is nationwide and probably worldwide since all western and some eastern countries copy much of what we do here.

In hoops these days, that is how players call play or defense number 3...they domt do it the way that i was taught, like doing "scouts honor" but with the 3 fingers spread out...they use their index and thumb to make the circle, so that the other 3 fingers are sticking up. I just did it both ways, and the circle method is much easier to be honest.

When i filed my multimillion dollar defamation Suit...i would simply have my. Lawyer do a video of every picture in this thread of curry, sharpton, etc...and a million more just like it. Then i would collect every piece of video and film depicting teenagers, soldiers, etc playing the game...would love to be his lawyer. Dude is about to get PAID...how much is a mans good name worth???? Millions when the offender is a billion dollar franchise....

I don't know what ACT you took but it was hard and based a lot on what I had learnes in school and critical thinking.

I scored a 36 (perfect) in science, and a 35 in math. I am not that smart.

If you take any test prep, it's not knowledge that they teach you. It's all test tendencies and what to look for in the questions.

It's like running the 40. Plenty of athletes are fast enough to run a 4.6 or better, but they dont know how. The start, which leg to lead with, running styles. They dont actually get faster but their testing number is higher. Same with ACT, you have to have some basis of knowledge, but the top end levels arent about knowing more, but knowing the test.

And just to show I am not bragging on the top my literature score was a 27, and my English was a 16. Grammar I am suck at.

Plus with the number of ACT prep courses around, the number of high (and perfect) scores is going way up. Honestly I think the ACT and SAT should have zero bearing on whether you get in or get a scholarship. Should be high school transcripts plus maybe an entrance exam that is not publicly available.
FWIW I made an overall 29 on the ACT way back in 1983. I was drunk as a a monkey the night before. Drank a six pack of Budweiser on the way to the test. That score got me a pile of scholarship money. Which I squandered and dropped out of college after one year. I did go back in 2002 and got my degree and was valedictorian.

My total was 30. But UT superstores which means they take the best individual scores from multiple tests before doing the composite. It took the test twice and super scored to 33. I got an extended Hope, which gave a couple thousand extra. That used to cover tuition with a bit left over. Now it doesnt get close

There was no such thing as test prep when I took it. We showed up and took the test. I think it has been dumbed down. No offense, but we only had one person have a perfect score in one subject out of 223 people. Our school's test scores were a couple of points above the state average then. I had one of the few 30 scores in Math. Barely 30, not 36.

The test prep stuff helps. I dont think they have changed the difficulty.

Some of it teaches you how to ignore certain answer choices because of x, y, or z. What to do if your answer is similar to teo choices. That sort of stuff, stuff that rounds the corners a bit.

I also went to one of them fancy private schools, I was also taking college classes at the time too. I licked the lead free glass windows growing up.
