Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do you personally believe in your religion?English
42·19 days agoI believe in the Goddess of Luck because, hopefully not sounding too cocky, she’s been kind to me. I’ve told people about her before and they think I’m slightly insane, but then as they hang out with me they start to thank her on thier own luck because they see how she speaks in crazy ways.
All you have to do is thank her when luck is on your side and you’ll see the difference.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•are there any street tips you all can share?English
4·1 month agoAs long as no kids are around to watch you so they dont think they can just run out in the street whenever
Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit
Wisdom is knowing to never add it to a fruit salad
A tip for those going to carve pumpkins this year, make your hole to scoop out the insides from the bottom. Not only will it look nicer but you can easily put it right on top of a candle instead of trying to balance it inside the pumpkin.
Its also possible to give your body to sports and go for free like I did. Doesn’t mean everyone is going to be able to do that.
There are also people out there who give their all and don’t get accepted into the college that would be best for the financially. I’ve seen and and helped console them after they freaked out about having to pay a bunch more. I think the problem is student loans and those that benefit from praying on 18 year olds trying to make the “right” decision
But it all brings it back to why can most every other developed nation send their students to University for practically free and still have people living comfortably even though they have to pay taxes for it, but its too hard for the US to do it?
Just because you know some people that got through unscathed, doesn’t mean there isnt a greater problem.
But I woulda thought your degree would have taught you about survivorship bias
Also:
immigrants whose families worked extremely hard for their sake
Luck
get accepted into colleges that offered them favorable terms
Luck
pay off their debts without issue and live upper-middle-class lifestyles
Luck
So as long as you live close enough to commute from your parents house, get to live there for free or real cheap, and jump through the hoops and hurdles without any issues, you too can get by relatively cheap!
Everybody else can get fucked cause this person was one of the lucky ones!
Also, make sure you go to what is considered one of the more affordable universities while living in that state for over a year before hand!
Its super easy and affordable
So the $98,000 it costs for an in-state student to go to my nearest local state college for 4 years is fairly set by the state? What about the $101,000 for the next closest.
That seems totally fair, right?
So because you know a couple people who maybe didnt make the best decisions, forget everybody else. How many students who take out those high loans go on to become something useful and needed by society. Cause the people I know that took out that much mostly went on the become doctor’s.
That’s an argument for the government to help college students less, not to help them more.
Yes cause the students have the power to set the prices. It’s the loan givers dealing with the universities that keep driving up prices. If the government was to step in and say we’re only paying this much the prices wouldn’t be so exorbitant. You know, like the other developed countries do.
Cause it not like the loans are predatory or anything. Cause its not like the prices keep going up cause the loans keep giving more and more.
Crazy how the rest of the developed nations can send thier young adults to school for basically free but its too hard for the US.

14·3 months agoSo one of my favorite books is Ender’s Game (fuck the author though). Which makes Ender the main charecter. But another one by him that I also really love is Ender’s shadow. Where it takes on of the lesser characters and makes them the main charecter.
So, we all are the main character. Just depends on the perspective.
