easy solution - make college free
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

The sunny side of this delusion is the computer gives you a flying car and makes it so you don't have to work. The blackpill one is that it wipes us out via some cinematic method TBD. Two futures you don't actually have to live in. Both are abdications, and embarrassingly childish on their face.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

I don't know what top 10 TV shows of the current century I'd list, but I do know that at least 2 would be animated: Bob's Burgers and Venture Bros. (The Simpsons is out of the running because it's from the previous century)

I love that stories like this are a regular feature in NJ local newspapers www.app.com/story/news/2...
Is it legal for your neighbor to park in front of your house in NJ?
Whether neighbors are throwing a party or people are visiting the area, someone parking in front of your house can be annoying. But is it illegal?

I keep seeing articles about men worrying they won't pass on their genes, and I don't understand why the media won't tell the plain truth: as a man hoping to sire children, the most important thing to do is artfully assemble a bower and surround it with a collection of startlingly blue objects.

I've been getting into fountain pens (like I need another hobby on my salary) and so why are the best pens German, Japanese, or Italian?
