  • I put myself through community college, got 2 AAS degrees. I’m doing pretty good for myself. Before college, I usually worked around minimum wage and hated every single soul sucking job I had just to barely scrape by. This was early 2000s… we had real dollar menu meals and $5 footlong subs, ya’ll who be out there surviving these days you’re built different and you have my respect.

    Anywho, if I hadn’t gone to college and did something with my life, I promise you I would have ended myself. That’s not hyperbole, I had 2 failed attempts before college already.

    I wish people would stop demonizing college. Especially in the US, we have more and more uneducated people because you have people on the internet (mostly on video format) telling people, “Oh yeah, college was a scam, I dropped out and I make millions, and speaking of millions, this video is brought to you by…”

    It saddens me to see terrible advice like this meme, implying college was a waste. Or that hundreds of people upvoted it.

    And yes, I know, college is fucking expensive in the US. It was expensive when I went and we were arguing about it then and I know it’s gotten worse. But we shouldn’t be celebrating ignorance, we should be fighting to get our education back.



















  • Honestly, /r/freefolk really have a nice list.

    The quality of writing tanked.

    Multiple story threads from all the way back to season one went literally no where (like the patterns), Arya and the Faceless Ones. So many characters who just blinked out of existence because D&D forgot they existed and they didn’t directly server the plot (like literally everyone following Bran around for so many seasons).

    Characters started not acting like themselves. Daenerys went from the savior of the people to mad queen… a roll that better fir Cersei, in a blink of an eye because of “bells”. Cersei nukes a chunk of the cities. Daenerys earned the title ‘Queen of Meereen’ from her campaign in Slaver’s Bay. Bran was shown to be the villain and it’s literally never addressed. He has wild powers and doesn’t use it. Seems to go from an innocent child on a wild adventure to positioning himself as king… instead of anyone else that would have made sense. “Who has a better story”… FFS, EVERYONE. And D & D seemed to forget the “Mad King” was saying “Burn them all” because Bran, yet again, fucked with someones head.

    D & D forgot where Westeros was… Also forgot about the Iron Fleet

    Cersei dies by brick to the head… (just more pointing out the lame writing). Contrast that with like, Eddard’s execution.

    Just go to /r/Freefolk… Season 7 and 8 were shit. Because D & D wanted to abandon GoT to go do Star Wars. HBO had more money for them, told them they could do more seasons. Naw, last 2 they phoned it in with 2 “seasons” there were the length of 1 and the quality of the aftermath of a night out of drunk taco bell binge eating…
