I think of an acquaintance of mine who got his PhD in a sociology after a decade. He now teaches six courses. He seems like an "elite". He sleeps on the floor in a shitty apartment in a sleeping bag and rides his bicycle (in Buffalo) everywhere, can't own a car. What an elite!

Did IT Happen? Checking now

yeah believe it or not after not having heard from him for a few weeks (we usually chat at least once a month) he hit me up this literal morning saying shit is really weird there :O hope it will be okay

In action:

No, I'm saying i see it as disqualifying. As in the thing is its own answer, not the scenario. Have it? You don't have my support. No matter the context.

I am sure in a country as big as this you can find at least one other working-class laborer who has the correct opinions about billionaires while only having a regular level of bad life choices, not this level. (4/4)

Ego, "are Nazi tattoos disqualifying?" is to ask: do those things alone make the answer an enforced "no", no matter how many other dozen things are positive?

So there you have it. I say they are. I can accept flawed candidates, I'm a flawed person. No saints. But yes- that is disqualifying. (3/4)

e.g. "Lance Armstrong is disqualified from the Tour De France due to cheating via doping".

It doesn't also matter that he's naturally athletic, or a hard worker, or a good guy.

That single disqualifying thing is what disqualifies him. AKA the meaning of the word.
