what about std's?

shinobi was talking about having kids, not stds. see the OP quoted in eggshell's post earlier

if you use a condom right there's only a 2% chance of failure, and if you pull out correctly your odds are 4% so i don't think people are "signing on" to have kids when they have sex

lines like "well you know you could have a kid" have always been used to justify abstinence-only sex education and i'd rather not even go there

an analogy would sound stupid too, like "you have a 2% chance of getting mugged on the street tonight. why did you go out and have a beer? you signed on to getting mugged."

I fucked up an exam and now I cant progress to the honours class. I'm being forced to finish after next year. This has totally changed my life plans and I really don't know what I'm going to do. I can either try moving universities after this coming year and gain an honours through a worse university, or I can use the ties that my current university has to a university down south to gain a job straight after the coming year, work at it for two years so I can get into a Masters programme (2 years experience is a necessary criteria) and progress my career that way.

Either way I don't get to stay where I am for the year I had planned. The honours year is pure academia, unlike the rest of my degree which is full of required practical placement, and I was really looking forward to having the time to do that sort of course again. Plus I'm now in a new relationship, and we'll have to go long distance (again) which could just complicate what has been a brilliantly uncomplicated, amazing relationship so far.

D'you know what the kick in the teeth is? I missed the grade by one mark. One. I obviously understand there has to be a cutoff where people do not meet the required standard, but knowing I put myself through such stress for months just to miss by such a small margin is hell. I almost wish they hadn't told me.

i'm not sure if it's too late or if you've already tried this, but talk to your advisor, the dean, faculty who you have gotten to know well and anyone else who will go to bat for you. if you've really worked hard and have been an outstanding student, they should give you a pass

you have to have made a genuine connection with your professors/tas/advisors though, if you are just another face that kept silent during all your classes and never went to office hours they'll just think, "ok who is this now?"

i never tune people out seems pretty rude

i even say "sorry none on me" to bums who ask for change

i feel bad for all those people paying hundreds of $$$ for fake givenchy tees on ebay

not hating, but i wasn't sure where else to put this...

_{jap dickies}

_{uniqlo cargo (thanks, merryburger!)}

_{Supreme tees x2}

"Cool shirt, what does it say?"

"Supreme."

"Oh... Supreme? I don't get it. Does it have anything to do with the Arab Spring?"

"No, uh, Supreme is this clothing brand in New York City but they uh started out as a group of skaters blah blah blah..."

my reaction to the last round of replies:

repped all the posts on this page talking about rep

i've only had one girlfriend...

lesson learned: all women are crazy, find the crazyness you can deal with

seems irrational to be drawing conclusions so soon

IMHO

have you guys really never heard that used as an expression?

one of my favorites: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=09102010

You guys are weird.

i'm sure they are great people but they were trying way too hard in this video

i thought jordans and a gold chain was livin it up

i always interpreted gold chains as a store of wealth as much as a style thing

you know, keep your money away from banks and shit, no paper trail

right?

our legacy did a cool 90s print shirt too

i'm looking forward to 1990s revival with the swooshy geometric tie designs

this thread has inspired me to stop my pointless pursuit of fleeting physical objects

really? i still want rick dunks

money can buy you experiences you wouldn't otherwise have. at this point in my life, i'd rather work and be "unhappy" (not doing what I want to do at that exact moment) in order to have periods of extreme happiness than live a low work / low maintenance lifestyle but miss out on those big bursts of seratonin.

peaks and valleys versus stable baseline is what i'm saying.

but do experiences you may or may not have equate to true happiness?

1) having new experiences with the hope that i will enjoy them

2) having "old" experiences that i enjoyed previously

3) living in comfort

some experiences are more expensive than others. #3 is definitely hedonistic treadmill, though.

“To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea... 'cruising' it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

'I've always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can't afford it.' What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of 'security.' And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.

What does a man need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade.

The years thunder by, The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.

Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? â€

can anyone explain this website? and why it has old superfuture supermarket listings on it????

does it just aggregate sale threads or something?

To me it just looked like a site that automatically aggregates and reposts. Whoever owns it probably supplements their income with ad revenue.
