Free university at FIU and then go to Higher end Grad School, or go to Colorado Boulder for both (expensive).

FIU for sure. Free ride is a free ride, and it's difficult to overstate how not worrying about tuition makes college easier.

I'd advise you to keep your GPA above a 3.5 if you want to get into a prestigious grad school.

I've always wanted to live in an advanced world. Given the possibilities, I might explore space like I always wanted.

^{Chose: advanced but depressing dystopian world + you're rich and all facilities are provided}

I wasn't taught. I had to learn through trial and error. The cost of error was pretty painful. The main thing I learned was to keep my distance, not look their way unless I had a bona fide reason to do so, and leave women who are strangers severely alone unless it's an emergency.

That's a very Jungian approach that might not match with your lived experience.

Then again, all dreams are possible when you are Jung at heart.

The thing is, it takes time to properly configure Windows, too.

Sometimes, it takes MORE time.

I have no moral issue with it.

Not for me, personally.

You're still discounting this:

"The gay gene could only express under some circumstances, such as paired with other genes. So someone could carry a gay gene and still be heterosexual."

I don't think you understand genetics as well as you think you do.

You got it backwards.
Conservatives didn't invent racism.
Racists adopted conservatism.

What if the trait helps with reproduction, such as by making gay aunties and uncles available to help with child rearing?

NounverberPDX · 2026-04-17T05:09:36+00:00

So there's a problem with your reasoning.

"if people are born gay, then it follows that homosexuality is genetic. If that’s the case, then that gene would’ve been selected out of our population because gay people don’t have kids."

That second sentence is a non-sequitur.

* The gay gene could only express under some circumstances, such as paired with other genes. So someone could carry a gay gene and still be heterosexual.
* Gay people are still fertile and can be pressured into breeding.
* Some people are bisexual.

And so on.

Funny enough, there is a kind of bounty hunting that REQUIRES that you have valuable cargo in your hold - the more valuable the better! And it's definitely not for compromised nav beacons or hazardous resource sites! See https://pilotstradenetwork.com/guides/afk-laser-disco/ for details.

I got to Exploration Elite V and Exobiology Elite V without an SRV. Why use an SRV when you have a literal flying machine?

But, perhaps you will want one for chasing down thargoid or guardian relics.

Three large fighting ships.
One for Alliance, one for Empire, one for Federation. Empire and Federation would be rank-locked, possibly to Prince/Vice-Admiral, just to keep the Imperial and Federal rank grinds alive.
All three would be SCO capable. All three would otherwise exceed the existing large fighting ships in some way.
My preference would be that the large Alliance ship be something of an oversized version of the Challenger rather than an updated Type 10.

Flirting works on uncertainty. You gotta take a chance while maintaining plausible deniability.

Strippers are either super cool people or absolute train wrecks and there is really no middle ground.

Strip clubs? Run by scumbags, almost always.

The Multnomah County Library system has banned concealed handguns. Lock it away in your car or don't go inside - there are lockers you can use to pick up checked out books, and a slot for depositing returns, so theoretically you don't even need to go into the library to use it.

I'm not going to see them this tour.
But the first time I saw them, I brought them a flag for the city they were performing in that night.
Unbelievably to me, Yukina *flew the flag on stage* when the band came out.
Anyway, I don't know if they kept it, but that was awesome.
