Got a less-than-good grade on my bio final

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I've been walking down the street, juggling with a snowball. Observing uneasy look at bypassers' faces was empowering af.

Also healthy. With my hands busy I didn't even stop for a smoke.

[HillGoose]

First of all HillGoose, don’t you know that homosexuality is an abomination? It’s God’s and Reagan’s will that you marry this girl. I suggest you pray away your doubts.

yeah I've been trying to convince myself i'm straight since i was 14

Don't sweat it. High School is a waste of time and college is a scam

Was woken up today by my father, a missle alarm booming outside. Eh. Apparently Iran sent an unmanned aircraft into our territory, we took it down and responded with bombing in Syria, one of our planes got taken down too, and now we're just generally confused. I doubt this goes to a war, though. Apparently no one actually shot any missiles on us civilian population, it was just the anti-aircraft missiles fired at the airplanes triggering the system.

Indeedy, but I need something to keep my mind off our nation’s impending doom.

In any case, somehow getting an 85 on the test overall and having one minor assignment entered late bumped my grade from an 89 to a 92, so we’re cool now

Decided to start looking at colleges. Why the hell does everything cost money?

If nothing costed money, it would have no worth. The beautiful necklace that you find on the ground would mean nothing. It was free for the person who got it first, too.

Yoga classes wouldn't be fun, there's a high probability that there'd be random, possibly homeless people in there, taking up the space of someone who worked for the money to pay for the class.

There'd be no class system. First class people would blend right in with the lower class, and working class would probably not have any incentive to work at all, seeing as they don't need money to buy something that's free.

I guess it's just about the economy. We gotta keep it alive by making the people drive for something. You want that 2017 Mazda? Work for and pay for it.

You want to get into that nice college? Work for and pay for it. Oh, you need to get into the college to get the high paying job? And you're wondering why Rich Ricky over there, who's father is old friend with the dean, gets in with lower grades than you? Ummmm

I’m assuming because the system is rigged by [insert third party here - preferably “bankers” and “international elite” instead of directly saying Jews and minorities] that politicians will use to divide Americans against each other and win in a wave of “populism”?

[bagelman]

If I don't graduate from community college with an AD and get into normal college and get a BD I'm going to be 30+ working the same busywork warehouse picking job I do now. I have little passion for anything. I'm older than Jacobin American and also still only have a LP.

I've been looking at environmental science for a while now. Spent like a year in Environmental Health and Safety which turned out to be completely different. Signed up for a climate studies class and the prof linked to this quiz. Just look at it.

So I was taking the class and one of the homework assignments required me to use a government website to analyze weather data. So I went to the website and got an error after 5-10 minutes of waiting. Minutes. Needed to get data from other sources, got a poorer grade then I should've because I was given questions specific to a service that seemed to be getting DDOS'd. Also got a poorer grade then I should've on all other assignments so far this semester in all classes. For my stats test I came in very tired and hungry, and didn't notice 2 extra questions.

I'm an hour through this, and I've listened to this at least 10 times front to back. I've been telling myself to take up writing as a hobby for over 2 years.

I know this is short notice, but after Sunday night/monday morning I'll be taking a break from the forum. Recently, a series of events occurred in my life that requires my attention and the stress from dealing with real life problems is affecting my behavior here. Don't know when I'll be back, but hopefully I'll be in a better place. Thank you all.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I hereby give up any hope for forming any real romantic attachment.

I woke up half an hour ago with a splitting headache and feeling like my entire body's on fire. Please end my suffering.

My great-aunt died yesterday. She was 77 and battling cancer. I'm not too upset but my poor grandma is devastated and in too poor health herself to attend the funeral. Aunt Norma was the first of her sisters to pass, leaving four of the five girls alive. It's really sad to see one of the Aunts - the five co-matriarchs - go. My grandma is insistent that my mom "represent" the family at the funeral like it's some kind of mafioso gathering.

Thankfully, due to my Aunt and my cousin in PA, they were able to facetime one another in her final hours. Thank God for that.

Youre family sounds awesome, I'm sorry to hear this. Best wishes for you and your grandmother.

It's actually quite a relieving feeling, when you finally understand you should focus on things that matters.

I really hope we sell our house for as much money as we can before a recession hits. Mom can't afford gas or groceries anymore, so I have to provide, cutting that much deeper into the savings I've been hoping to use for a car (honestly a minor concern at the moment).

We also have to dig through the house to sell jewelry. I haven't been catching up with precious metal prices anytime recently, but I hope they're somewhat high like the stock market is.

[Tender Branson]

We got a new employee in the office this week, a [very nice] 19-year old girl - which means I'm going to be her "teacher" for the next weeks and tell/show her how everything works. Our ERP/logistics/accounting system is a real plague to start with, so she needs all the help she can get.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I think we should all pitch in and send Tender’s coworker a chastity belt.

[Fight for Trump]

I think a taser would be more appropriate.

No need.

A) she has a boyfriend and B) she's a smoker, so definitely not my type.

But still, we got along from the start on a professional level.

bipolar that is.

It's because she's not familiar with the Atlas.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

If all goes well I'm going to be not posting on Atlas anymore.
