Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt I got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred actually teach much?

I was only briefly a resident of Mississippi, but I honestly don’t see how anyone supports the Stennis Flag over the Magnolia Flag. It’s so beautiful and unique, and a true representation of the state. But honestly anything is better than the current flag

People say you can’t be an alcoholic in college, so grad school counts right? Asking for a friend

Rode the bus today and an older guy called another guy, “daddy-o.” At that moment I realized that no matter how hard I try, I’ll never be cool enough to call another person daddy-o

Everyone likes to talk shit about Nickelback, but put “How You Remind Me” on at a party and tell me it doesn’t slap

At the airport, TSA agent specifically says, “Please no live animals on the conveyor belt. We don’t want anymore incidents.” I just want to know what the hell happened before I got here because I bet it was wild
