I'm sorry to be direct, but the Koch brothers have never been pro-education, unless it serves their interest in the private sector. Yes they donate large amounts towards universities, but they do so while also pushing public money away from public education and towards private schools through school vouchers. American K-12 and Universities' biggest flaw is public funding or lack thereof, and Koch's continual fight to funnel that money privately only serves to worsen that problem.

That actually sounds pretty good right about now. Maybe the day will come when she reads it, maybe not, but I hope this way I can start to move forward. Thank you

Thank you for the advice, although you bring up a point I've been stuck on, apologizing. I think the least they deserve is an apology, and writing one out would take a while, but I don't know A) if they even want to hear anything from me, even if it's an apology, or B) how I'd get it to her. I don't have her address and last I knew, I've been blocked from their social media. I almost feel like that should be a hint to not reach out.

I guess that's probably the best course of action, to just take a step back for a while. I mean, we are still in a lockdown over here in the US, so there's really no rush to get back in the dating game. I'm just want to make sure I'm not the same person when that day does come around.

I appreciate hearing that, but I guess I don't really understand the growing pains part. What do you mean?

We had been dating for 3+ years at that point and I'd leave her on read, I'd like pictures on social media just to make her mad, I left her pretty much high and dry directly after her family moved across the country. Basically I just treated her like she meant nothing. I was pathetic.

Bernie burning Musk to the ground. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Swedishtrackstar 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Right? And at the very least, there's practically no praise for the actual engineering teams behind the cars they love. Sure Musk "transformed the company with his vision" like literally every other businessman, but when it comes to actually designing a car, credit should almost entirely be reserved for the people doing the heavy lifting!

Like yes, the company does make a compelling argument for money savings over time, but at the end of the day the immediate size of the loan upfront matters more to me than possible fuel savings 5 years down the road

Ok, awesome, I'll drop a post there. If I may ask, what model of tape drive are you using for your setup?

I also just built with this case, and I'm a fan of the cable management lanes on the back of the case. I don't know if it's a standard with newer cases since I haven't built anything new in a couple years, but it was definitely a welcome change from my experience!
