@tugN_wouldya I had the same dilemma. Stayed the extra semester. Hands down been the greatest one. No regrets, lots of great memories. Very happy with my decision
@Baxate_carter wayyyy too much money is given towards research. people research what gets grants even if they know what their researching is ineffective.
@Baxate_carter @alex_valaitis the reason so many don't is because they can still live better than most of the world with housing, food, and a phone just by relying on the government. those who want more will get it. if this country isn't a meritocracy idk what is
@Baxate_carter @alex_valaitis that depends on your definition of "making it". in this country you can go be a doctor and the government will pay for 95% of it if you're poor. or you can live off HUD and be unemployed still living better than 99% of the world. everyone can make it if they want to
@Baxate_carter @alex_valaitis everybody can make it regardless of how they're born. they will have to work harder but to pretend that it's some ridiculous thing to achieve because of their circumstances is unbelievably naive.
