The rate at which one gives gives fewer fucks.

DMFG: G(F)={(D/S)*D{Nbar^2} -- the number of given fucks is equal to the days left in the semester times the distance from you to the nearest bar (Cornell notation replaces Nbar with NBrB)
There's an economic principle at play here. One that I think a lot of people take away from econ courses. It's called the Law of Diminishing Marginal Fucks Given (or DMFG).

In Game if someone is downed, you must pick them up as per XGN’s 2 Bylaws. An expanded version, of the 2nd Bylaw itself. It is mainly used in game. (Apex Legends Example.) If your teammate is downed you run through fire and fury to resurrect them, even if it means you die. It is just a game, usually used in Apex but can be used in other games.
I conjure this save and carry as per XGN Freshly’s Law Of Resurrections!

Thomas M Cooley Law School

The largest ABA accredited law school in the United States. The main campus is located in downtown Lansing, Michigan. Cooley is famous for its lax admissions, but infamous for its difficulty and attrition rate. The faculty sets extremely high standards for all law students. Unlike other law schools, Cooley still uses a pure Socratic method and all exams are closed book. Cooley students are required to take courses that other law schools deem electives. Some of these courses include: Secured Transactions, Business Organizations, Taxation, Wills, and Evidence. Now in its 36th year, Cooley continues to graduate large classes of well qualified, well prepared lawyers. Cooley’s good reputation will continue to grow as more and more graduates achieve success in the legal profession.

Cooley is somewhat of an underdog law school that gives individuals with lower GPAs or LSAT scores a chance to earn Law Degrees. Cooley is often criticized and mocked by elite law school. However, their criticisms are almost always unfounded and often amount to nothing more than blue blooded snobbery and elitism.
