Whoever came up with the system “if you don’t allocate all of your yearly budget, your budget will be smaller next year” is responsible for so much human misery and wasted money

In Britain this is partly true - you still often have to go to college but the fees are less than a degree course and young people (aged 16-19) can often get funding - *but* many employers are too l...

@nprofile1q... so I’m currently in trade school. Not going into debt… because I got scholarships. Most of my classmates are going into debt 🙃 I wonder if this guy is gonna pay off their student loans

"The average of everything on github" isn't badass code, it's unfinished student projects that never worked.

We hear "all the text on the internet" and we might think "well, they've sure digitized a lot of classic books, that must be good, right?" but then you realize that all of the books are maybe like 1% of the data. Most of it is like facebook messenger arguments and semi-literate emails.

Shout outs to the 1.5 million fair weather Seahawks fans from the suburbs getting in the way of people who actually live/work here.

They’re literally not even playing a game. Go home!
