You know, whatever it takes to get people to act. Sometimes it'd something dumb that motivates prople.

I feel like everyone has had a bad experience with one of the major delivery services and just decides to shit on them. I've had packages busted by FedEx, usps, ups, that guy that drops off packages from his unmarked van. Like I get 97% of stuff okay, but 3% comes broken from them all.

My guess is he's using that statement to sidestep criticism of layoffs. I mean, is it wrong to take the long view? No. Does that mean they had to lay off people and put them in a precarious situation? Maybe, maybe not. But the explanation that sounds palatable.

That's insane. It sounds like ebay must have a toxic culture to let that happen.

I'm trying to imagine what someone would use it for/want it for. It seems juat like more plastic crap for the landfill.

It's what I started using and now I'm stuck. Anyone know of any export tools?

My straving student experience was much better than a lot of people but it still wasn't a confortable one.

As an early to mid 2010's student I had classes only two days a week but I had to be on campus most the day. I worked the other 5 days full time. I learned to cook cheap meals--rice, beans, ramen, etc.--and thats good and all, taught me to cook. The only problem, was if I stepped off the treadmill of life, like a week got hectic and I missed batching meals, I didnt have any time or energy to cook and there was zero money left to just buy something out quickly. There were many days at work and school I sat there hungry and distracted.

In hindsight, there was more I could have done to mitigate those experiences. But I didn't know that then. I'm not a better person for those experiences. I wasnt as able to learn as heartily as desired and I lost out on a great internship opportunity I still kick myself for because it was unpaid and I couldn't figure out what to cut out; food, rent, transportation, or the little money I could set aside for books the next semester.

That's just my individual experience.

You guys are all getting down voted and this misses out on the pure entertainment value of these comments

I would also add that the capitalist class loves to promote the idea if America as the greatest nation on earth because that storyline benefits them. They've already won the game and are benefiting from our current system. They don't want it to change.

If we admit we have shortcomings--large gap in wealth equality, lack of accessible and affordible health services, piss poor public transportation, unaffordable child care paired with living costs so large 2 incomes are required, poor school funding, pervasive gun violence, and Policing that emphasizes violence, just to name a few-- then we are also acknowedging that we have to change things. Why would those who greatly benefit from our current system want change?

Found this mildly interesting in a world of slick Conde Nast publications.

What defines dark fantasy?

Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.
