    And then you ask people who decided they couldn’t afford college to help pay for people’s useless degrees. I don’t have a higher degree but I’d subsidize engineers. Psychology degrees, gender degrees can fuck off asking me to pay for their schooling . If the degree doesn’t support paying for the education, don’t pursue it.




  • As someone who speaks German alright (lived there awhile and studied a few years in school) gendered nouns and all of the versions of “the” are just stupidly laborious and I never cared if I got it wrong. Even if my accent was okay (it wasn’t okay, my US German teacher was Danish and I was sometimes told I sounded Danish) my lack of fucks about der, die, das, dem etc made it very obvious I wasn’t a native speaker.

    All of that said, I found that popup kids book pretty easy to read.





  • 2020 was hell, I got like eight days off and I had COVID twice that year. The first bout was after the vaccine was available but I wasn’t eligible because I was two years too young. It didn’t matter that I’m immuno-compromised. I barely got through that. A friend of mine shot himself because he couldn’t deal with it, he kept going to the emergency room and they kept sending him home.

    My second bout with COVID that year after getting vaccinated was even worse. It was at least a month and I’m not at at all suicidal but I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I run a small nonprofit and we are still around for now, we’ll see in another few months. Nothing has been the same economically since then. I’ve tested positive four more times since then, and I don’t even test every time I get sick. I guess I’m still alive, I’ll try to be thankful.
