My little one got rejected by SDSU, accepted UCSB. I was crushed. Big money difference for upper middle class doofuses like me.
At least the other 2 avoided the UC tuition.
Such fucking BULLSHIT that UC tuition is painful for a dude like me. It’s enough to make a guy Republican (if the Republicans weren’t such a bunch of morons). however, if the dems forgive student loans to prop up a corrupt system, after i scraped to pay cash, well then, all bets are off. I’d vote for trump.
I really should stop bitching. I think we’re in the top 5-10 percent or so in the usa. Still feels like a complete life fuckup. i mean, top 10% against all comers? including homeless guys, farmhands, fast food workers… Jesus. that’s ridiculous. I’m really in the bottom 10% for my peers, which is really what matters, psychologically, right?
is it only in america where a guy can live in a million plus dollar mansion and have some money and still feel like a total and utter failure? it could all fall apart so easily, is the thing, when you’re not actually rich. the only thing a bit of success buys you is a little buffer against destitution. and some status. which apparently is very important for health.
higher status males in the uk outlived their similarly situated low status peers, after controlling for variables. status and being a winner literally makes you live longer. probably flyer will live to 135. and then–not many people know this–but when you get to heaven, it’s not like all one neighborhood. there’s nicer parts and totally shitty spots and the losers on earth are still the losers in Heaven, nothing changes, and if you think life on earth isn’t fair, and heaven will be “fairer” well, who do you think set up the rules, Bozo?
How bad is the crap real estate in heaven? Like, locations so bad, you can technically call it “heaven”, but you’re basically bordering the best neighborhood in hell, and all your friends will know you’re a loser when you give them the coordinates.
. flyer will be in the best fucking location, real estate heaven in heaven, absolutely beautiful southern exposure to the Lord, near decently famously angels, etc.
I’ll be in some shitty shack in bumfuck heaven, near a bunch of cutrate section 666 housing, and the lowest grade dirtbag angels ever who basically sing off key and hassle you for drinking money. you can just barely feel the radiating presence of the Lord, barely. surrounded by turd angels the Lord never invites to any fucking gathering.
it just sucks so bad you might as well go to Hell.
