Our education system is shit, which is part of the problem. So many people don't understand the concepts of compounding interest and what debt will actually do to them in the long run.

My wife took on so much debt because no one ever explained to her what she was doing. She applied for a loan and got it, went to school. Shes an attorney now, but has amassed so much debt we will never be able to pay it off. We're on the income based plan, her loan payment is more than our mortgage, and we aren't even covering interest. Loan forgiveness is our only hope

I shit you not, one of our executives once said in an all hands meeting, "youre not just a number to me, youre people. I care about each and every [employee numbering system] out there." Like mother fucker literally just called us numbers to our faces

I work in a space that i cant have my phone. After a full day work, i come out and have 50+ notifications. Notifications mean nothing to me anymore

Can he? Honest question. Can he pardon someone who hasnt actually been convicted of anything?

I thought the same thing, but it does specifically say thats what he received. I want to know how many the prison received and filtered out / rejected

Do people not realize that "drone" doesnt simply mean small quad copter? The us military CCA program is a whole suit of drones that are basically air planes? Look at this one... it looks more like a fighter jet than anything else

Ive never been diagnosed, but the more I read, the more im convinved ive been functioning adhd my whole life.

Today i learned about nicotine. The only time id smoke while sober was the last 2 weeks of the quarter when i was cramming for finals/doing labs etc. After my last deadline, i wouldnt do it for 10 more weeks, but would hit it hard during finals again. Always kept me focused and motivated

She tries to be like me. "I dont care, i just want you to pick."

Mexican? No. Indian? No. Italian? No. Sushi? No.

Oh so you do care. This is why you always pick. I will eat anything at any time.

Shit when im the first one in, i leave the lights off. Then i get mad at the person who eventually turns them on. If i have to be in that early, i dont also want to be miserable from the bright lights

Childcare is outrageous. Daycare for my two kids was more than my mortgage every month. Ive been counting down until they were eligible for public schools
