ethos198316 karma

Ma'am,

I was born and raised in NYS, and left when i was 18 to join the USAF. After doing my time, i got out and lived in for several months in Louisiana with some friends, re-adjusting to civilian life. While looking at several colleges in NY, I was informed that as i spent several months in Louisiana (and paid taxes there for the time i lived there), I was notified that I was no longer considered a NYS resident, and thus subject to (much higher) out of state tuition rates.

Do you know of any way to get around this/is there any way? According to the individuals i've talked to, I'd have to re-establish my residency, which means putting my college plans on hold for another year.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Why was Thiel's funding even necessary for Hogan to seek justice? To me, that's an even bigger question.

From what i remember, Gawker refused a takedown order, bragged about doing so, all on a hidden-cam porn of a person taken without their knowledge. What Gawker did was screwed up, no way around it.

So why was a Billionaire needed to fund this?

There was no way he could have taken this to a jury on his own.

That's my point. A Billionaire's funding should not be necessary for justice. While i have little respect for Thiel, I don't see what he did as entirely unjustified.

Thank you for your response.
