TEAYCHES posted:most 17 year olds arent that smart, though they might consider that in retrospect I was, but i also knew i was gonna burn out way before completing a degree so i took a path that ended where i could still land on my feet. Taking out loabs for any reason disgusts me and did back then too

TEAYCHES posted:i probably cant buy a house but for the past 6 years ive been renting apartments and bought a new car without issue. the reason for that is that so many people are in the same situation and dont or wont pay back their student loans. esp. after 2008 poor credit isnt weird. if people didnt rent or loan out to people who didnt pay their student loans, the #1 debt in in the nation, they wouldnt be doing business with anyone at all bro, I was in uni back then. not every person who graduated in that period is a broke foreverpoor. accepting responsibility is the first step.

TEAYCHES posted:But to think is an act of choice. The key to what you so recklessly call 'human nature,' the open secret you live with, yet dread to name, is the fact that man is a being of volitional consciousness. Reason does not work automatically; thinking is not a mechanical process; the connections of logic are not made by instinct. The function of your stomach, lungs or heart is automatic; the function of your mind is not. In any hour and issue of your life, you are free to think or to evade that effort. But you are not free to escape from your nature, from the fact that reason is your means of survival-so that for you, who are a human being, the question 'to be or not to be' is the question 'to' think or not to think.' is this the gentleman's "i can't even"?

I majored in art, went to an affordable uni, and due to working the entire time and the generosity of my folks/grandparents graduated with very little debt. Now I clean carpet, because I'll be damned if I join the ranks of the petite bourgeois scum.

Tsinava posted:you should go to med school. keep wavering because of how poo poo the system is in the USA for doctors. well that, and most med students are horrible privileged 3rd world types (think upper caste brahmin indians like khans, and wealthy 1st gen chinese) who only care about doing surgery or some other super specialized residency for the $$$$$$$ and the prestige it'll bring their family. tbh, the only normal residents i've encountered have all been internal med, pediatrics, and psych. there's a decent chance i'll just say gently caress it and do medicinal chemistry.

contemporary socialism/communism is hosed forever since they've made it practically mandatory to embrace all kinds of retarded poo poo like fat acceptance. I want my socialists handsome and chiseled like the ones from soviet propaganda posters, if what you have to offer is that loving maoist anime genderqueer human being that keeps popping up everywhere, I'd rather throw in my lot with citibank and watch the world burn

what do people think about worker owned cooperatives? in times of declining union membership and even a deep, if unreasonable, resentment and distrust of unions, some other form of worker organization seems necessary, imo. i think worker owned businesses might be able to fill that gap, particularly if some kind of mechanism for helping them get started could be created
