"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

lovely vindictive preteen me discovered 90s ezboard had a character limit for thread titles was just an html field with like maxchar=20 and you could remove it and post several MB worth of titles and no one could load to even delete it

normally when a marketing cohort hits that are range they're the most valuable to advertise to because they haven't formed all their brand preferences yet and have disposable income but because they're on track to earn less than their parents they're "killing" things by not spending enough money that they don't have in the first place

or did you think there was any actual meaning to "millenial" besides their potential value as consumers?

I'm actually somewhat surprised this plase isn't :10bux: a year, seems like the most obvious solution but I'm sure there would be some kind of massive dropoff of users then because we're all broke failsons

Same. Yeah, I don't know how that'd affect membership. I'm sure a ton of inactive, or seldom active accounts would drop off of the face of the earth.

let's start with $3 year, :10bux: to sign up. that's 25 cents per month. if you can't afford a quarter a month I don't know what to tell you

lowtax claimed he looked into recurring payments once and couldn't find a payment processor that made it worthwhile. and since it was impossible in 2007 or whenever that means its still impossible now
