It is the only song of theirs that I will not immediately change the station if it comes on.

One day, out to a cliff That overlooks the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody’s daughter And now the ring that’s on my hand It was given to me by her And to this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher

If I ever meet the asshole that invented the mouse-off function for webpages so that when you go to close a tab, a pop-up jumps up so that the website owner can scream, “wait, no, please subscribe, give us your email, send us money, something holy fucking shit, dear god ah!” at you I swear I will break their fucking fingers and punch them in the dick.

My house is a reddish brown with a green metal roof. My cars are black, red, and yellow, and I do everything I can to make sure that I am surrounded by at least some kind of light and color at all times.

If I was dating a girl and I found out that she was a sad beige mom, that would be the end of the relationship.

Yeah, it’s definitely all ten, although I can see how I would regret that choice from time to time.

Fortunately, robot hands are pretty cool, and I’m sure that if the world were prosperous and they saw somebody with no fingers, they would all chip in to help back out. So it wouldn’t be like terrible forever, but it would definitely have its moments where it sucks.

I know no one is going to take my idea and run with it so there’s not really anything to be gained by shooting it down, lol.

That being said, your issue could be solved with a combination of regulation and divestment.

Regulate that certain subjects have to be taught even if they are loss leaders for the university otherwise the university loses accreditation, and then for the people who want to learn artistic things like pottery and music that might cost the university more to run than they can make on it, create new schools that focus on that rather than keeping them in the university system, but attach valid degrees to them by requiring the mandatory core classes to be taken at the local community college or university of the students choosing.

Maybe you can subsidize them somewhat by making them non-for-profit systems and doing fundraisers for the arts and requiring that universities in their communities include them in their annual donor drives as a separate option.

It’s not a perfect solution, but its the first of many possible ones that I can think of, I’m sure that if we were appointed as the committee to fix the American College system we would make many more and better all-encompassing solutions and solve the problem in a matter of years.

I put a $50 pre-order down on the new slate electric vehicle.

Hopefully it pans out, and in like two years I’ll be able to buy one, but if not, I mean it was only 50 bucks and it’s investing towards a more electric theoretical future, so it’s like I won’t cry too much about it if I lose it, but I hope I don’t.

shit my copium supply is running low

That is true, but I feel like we could do better.

Community colleges should be as close to free as is reasonable, and normal universities should be federally limited to charging no more than, say one year of the maximum average income for a particular degree.

If the college wants to teach something like everyone’s perennial mocking favorite underwater basket weaving, then that should be done as an elective and paid out of pocket by the student.

Even if you were to pick something like being a doctor, the fact that you might make a quarter of a million dollars a year and end up having to pay a quarter of a million dollars to do it is infinitely better than working minimum wage for the rest of your life.
