I keep yelling at my dad that I wish he was poor

I btfo'd my liberal friend on immigration when, after he said we should let them in and not be cruel, I was like "okay cool are they all staying at your house then? Are you gonna be the wonderful generous person you think you are?"

Jokingly, of course. I’d never legitimately yell at him. But still, I’d not have to pay a dime for college

Meanwhile, my Hispanic roommate brags that he gets an extra $2K in government benefits for college each semester, so the way it works out is that he’s getting paid $2K per semester for going to college.

That’s after the tuition is already fully paid off

Dude. Get married and off your parents tax return . Then you are poor. My brother got free college that way.

I’m in Cali

Marriage can be a financial death sentence if it’s only for financial reasons

So was he.

I know, but he may not be aware of community property laws

He got married sincerely.

I’d want to be in a stable relationship for a few years before marriage, and by then, I’ll have my bachelor’s, and I’ll be off of my parents’ income anyways

It actually makes financial sense not to wait to get married for financial aid reasons is all I'm saying.

Pop out a dependent and now you're super poor.

I’d rather not pop out a kid for gibs

We’ve all seen where that leads

Did you guys hear the heel turn with Richard and John derbyshire?

@Current Ronin “libtards are very generous with other peoples’ money and countries”. Boomers were right about that one

How they broke down the parenting culture of artic people and tropical people?

@unclefesterr it's just low hanging fruit at this point when it comes to that kind of btfo. They never have a real answer. It's just "oh well someone will pay for it. It will be fine"

Gabbard campaign accused by journos of receiving support from Russian hackers. She handled this pretty well. I hope she does well in whatever Dem state does the first primary.

"By 2014, about one in every eight Americans over the age of 12 reported recent antidepressant use, according to a report released Tuesday from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." paragraph 2

Those are interesting year choices though. I wonder what it has been in the past 2 or 3 years? 2014 was basically the first year only kinda sorta out of the recession

How can anyone think modern world is progress in light of mass medication just to cope?

They call MJ legalization "progress"

which is basically mass medication just to cope

I've never met a psychologist who wasn't jewish

@Perihelion - CA people I've known who have sought out antidepressants and antipsychotics for normal modern life problems have indicated to me that insomuch as they even think about the past at all, they believe depression and psychosis was just as common but undiagnosed. They think their MAOI blockers are modern miracles.

I was with a Chinese coworker on the street the other day, and passed a guy smoking weed. He turns to me and says "that wouldn't be allowed in China" I was so embarrassed as an American.

all the kids who have to take meds for "ADHD"

@ThisIsChris The Chinese suffered the same thing 100 years ago. Foreign occupiers forcing them to accept drugs pushed at every level of society.

He should know better than to run his gob as a visitor in a different country.

Here’s a song about the Chinese opioid addiction
