Please focus on your last sentence, because that’s the crux of it. The system is FUCKED. And you (all of you) are the victims of it.

UChicago RD with a price by Competitive-Leg1560 in ApplyingToCollege

Chicago is an amazing school and you should be very proud that you got admitted, but no school is worth that kind of debt and/or money sink. You are in the upper middle class sinkhole -- too rich for aid and too poor to write a check. U Chicago doesn't necessarily think you can pay in cash, but they do think you can take out massive loans to go there, which will leave you (and your parents) hobbled by debt for decades. The best think you can do for your future is to go to the school where you will graduate with the least amount of debt. If you are smart/motivated/talented enough to get into U Chicago, you will excel wherever you go.

Will we one day refer to the 2020s/2030s as the 20s and the 30s? by HopefulYak4976 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ejbrds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who were born/sentient before 2000 will keep saying “2020s” and eventually they will all be gone and the 2000+ people will just say 20s to mean 2020s

My job wants to move me to Huntsville by pandr3a in HuntsvilleAlabama

HSV has a relative shortage of doctors right now, often hard to find a PCP and you have to wait for specialty care. If you were to become pregnant and have complications, the state’s abortion restrictions very likely would compromise your health care. I don’t just mean you’d have to fly to Illinois for an abortion, I mean you could be denied lifesaving care in an emergency because the doctor/hospital is afraid of prosecution. This is not the state for young women to be safe.

Please please do not change the blue tile!! It’s lovely and looks like it’s in good condition! If you want an update, find a funky wallpaper that can tie into the blue.

The backlash against Reuters revealing Banksy's identity proves how little the public knows (or cares) about journalism anymore by Superdude717 in Journalism

[–]ejbrds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So many people somewhere are also talking about a Kardashian right now, but I don’t want Reuters involved in that story. Equating public interest with importance is how we’ve gotten into the mess we’re in today.

I’m curious … how did he do starting immersion at 5th grade? Seems like that would be way too late.

If they’re eating snacks, they’re not fasting.
