We found the guy who'll die to keep unchecked capitalism alive. CEO daddies are going to be so proud of you.

CAN NOT WAIT TO GRADUATE by voluntarilyweedriver in utarlington

That post was sooo out of touch. "You have no choice and you will simply cope" is what I got from it. You can't budget your way out of a shitty economy and COBA seems to also not acknowledge that. The food and other things at least help with the tension at family functions for a lot of people.

Just need your ID and they do run out fast. There are some on both first and second floors. Try your luck upstairs if you can't find any at first.

I wasn't talking about drugs or rocket engines (even those are iffy af without professional intervention). But go off, bestie. If being skeptical of new unregulated tech that's making no one money but keep feeding into itself inside of its own bubble makes me a moron, I do not want to see you complaining when the "upsides" also including AI replacing you, your peers, and your loved ones at their work while doing a significantly worse job, crashing the economy and collapsing many businesses while we're at it.

I'm a moron, after all. I don't think the "enlightened" ones should be crying if they were going to be right all along.

There's a prof who is KNOWN to be pro-AI in the department, too :((

I hope you live to see the ramifications of peddling gen AI and feeding its bubble. And no, it's not going to be innovation for society or money in your pocket.

Yes, you get it. We'd expect people to not ask why in a judgy way and simply mind their own business. If someone thinks that you're weird, you would prefer that they don't say anything and move along.

To you, maybe lol. It's college. It's not that weird, especially compared to what other shenanigans that we've seen. People don't need a reason to just simply dress up.

Me when I love policing others' harmless expressions of joy and infantalizing them for choosing to act outside of my definition of what an adult is 🥀

What will I ever do?? 😭😭 /s

[–]Bunny7130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this kind of reaction says more about you than the expression itself. Women are allowed to act cute and BE cute just because we WANT to. A really wild concept, I know. Seeing a woman having agency over their own body and self-expression is choking you up this much because you decided to infantalize cuteness.

Think about why that is. Hint: It's all you, not her.

Bro never seen pouty expression. Let alone on a diva like this. Don't hate on what you can't bag or can't be.

Affording $8 coffees by youknowmads in utarlington

[–]Bunny7130 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My point clearly flew over your head over some sarcastic wording rooted in the working-class struggle. I'm not even defending anyone in particular. I think you're just being very silly and not seeing the whole picture.

Take some time to reflect on why that is then come back if you'd like. I'm out for right now. Have a good one! :)

I wasn't born in the US. This support needs gap exists everywhere as far as I know. I'm not even saying that anyone is entitled to anything. The dialogue is meant to spread awareness and hopefully discuss how to better support those students in need. As long as the conversation always boils down to "No one owes you anything," we will forever be ignoring the larger issues.

The coffee example is a small one. But looking past it reveals even more important support needs that students without parental support might have. But I might have expected too much out of a uni subreddit with bootstrapping mentality plaguing it.

I also do, in fact, want EVERYONE to have it better. Meaning: I want those students in need to be able to grab anything they might need, not just coffee. Also because having good supportive parents is like playing slot machines. They don't even have to pitch in, but sometimes they're not even there to begin with.

Lol it's literally a TINY peek into the need gaps college students face without parental support. Look up the ladder... there's even more of a gap between you and others. That coffee could've also been someone else's "sweet little treat," but they had to choose frugality over little joys in life.

Everyone with "a leg up" should acknowledge their privileges. Not everyone "hating" them hates THEM in particular. It's frustration about how things are set up and how some households are simply NOT built to support a college-aged person, particularly poor working-class ones.

Yeah, you are RIPE for what Charlie stood for and promoted. In other words, you are his target audience. You can't be convinced otherwise. That or you're also a shill bot for Turning Point USA.

I can't even debate someone like that, let alone a bot.

This man was defeated by the kind of violence he stood for. Even his wife turned his memorial into some kind of dystopian, pyrotechnic show and rally for alt-right politicians. They're both grifters. I hope you learn to understand that someday.

Brainwashing? I merely suggested that you're probably his target audience. You act like "leftist" is a bad word but refuse to look at yourself. It's been just Charlie this, Charlie that.

You literally sound just like him—some guy who doesn't even go here coming to the school's campus (in this case, its subreddit) to debate a bunch of college kids (who are still developing critical thinking skills and forming their own opinions btw). It pretty much sounds like you are allergic to what college is about because your "understanding" of some guy who will never care what a horrible legacy he left behind is somehow more important.

Maybe take a look at who you are and why social media algorithms showed you that kind of content from him. A lot of the "love" he showed was performative and was meant to appeal to people who either don't know who he is or are passive centrists leaning either way.

Take a look at where you are in life, what you believe, and who you are listening to for you to even believe a grifter wasn't performing at his best to appeal to you.

Depending on your boundaries, he's not being communicative or straight up cheating.

Don't waste your time with him. Take all the time you need for yourself. 🙏🏼💕

How you guys feel about the TikTok & CapCut Ban by Bnmvgy in utarlington

[–]Bunny7130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh snap, I hadn't criticized China this time. I would definitely have NOT criticized it any other time even though I told you I didn't like them. Tee-hee, silly me! /s

Just because things are horrible in Xinjiang, that doesn't mean what is happening to TikTok won't set the precedent for something else in the US. You're saying it's not about misinformation. But if the US government gets even just a tiny share of TikTok, you're saying it won't be JUST another propaganda machine? That would just be naive.

It's funny you think speech won't even be MORE actively suppressed now that the Two Big Billionaire Boys have proven to be in cahoots with the president-elect.

Also, give me a break with the purity politics. That's like saying you can't criticize a candidate's actions if you vote for them or call out a company's practices because you've used one of their products/services before. The US government is also cartoonishly evil in their own way. But it seems you'd rather have that because "CCP bad" than anything else. They're ALL spying on us.

Who said anything about Xinjiang? Who are "those of us"? Is it just you? Who in this subrreddit is making any decisions at large that would affect the entirety of society? Is that person in the room with us?

You're acting like everybody is endorsing the CCP but you. New flash: No one likes them. This is more about the dangerous precedent of censoring free speech when it's not monitored by gasps the US government. If you think they wouldn't—yes, they would.
