scotland is still free, and who cares if it's 50 thousand we'll all be paying these things back for decades anyway. it's not like the us (or other worse places?) where people actually can't afford it, we just have to pay it back in tiny payments once we are already earning a big amount of cash. i didn't think about this before but maybe there is a sense of entitlement to all that WHAT. FEES. talk like it's a capital gains tax or something. i dunno if that argument goes anywhere, it all depends on what the fees go towards paying. i wonder what the % of fully returned loans is, pretty high?

actually yeah this is free for me so it's not really a question of waste right now. it's just about whether it's worth doing. and while i'm questioning this i neglect the reading, don't go to class and do bare minimum of anything tank of sludge lifestyle. decided to pull myself out of that, but now i've got to come to terms with whatever it is that I think I am or should be doing.

wish i would stay 21 for another 10 years so i can make every mistake and figure it out what the heck it is i actually want. there are a lot of advantages to being at uni though, soon some of those will come to fruition. probably no better moves to make right now. and all of this is a confluence of 20 different factors which have nothing to do with the actual course and some i am probably not even aware of.

Jamie I've noticed in a lot of your posts you seem to be fretting about your age or something, like your life is slipping away... 21... one toe in the grave... You shouldn't worry about stuff like that. I'm also guilty of this because we're both sort of in the same :fogetshrug: period of our lives but we shouldn't be so concerned if the decisions we make now are ones we're going to regret when we're old men

chocolate caramel throw up... feel a lot better now

instead of fretting about age, think of those things you wanted to do and just go do them.  dont even think of regrets because on your deathbed youll think of so many good experiences, not regrets.

so i had a dream last night where i was in california and i was playing this laser tag game that took place in a series of rooms that were kind of like a maze but were pretty linear really.  the basic concept was that you had to move from room to room to get to the end but at the same time every player had someone with them who was hired to play an old lady.  she is in a wheelchair and you have to take her with you and can't leave a room without her.  you can get her out of the wheelchair but she will only walk if you're helping her (but she can stand in one spot by herself).  so if you came to a room with stairs you'd have to help her up the stairs but then go back down to get her wheelchair because she cannot leave rooms without it.  you more or less were trying to get out without you or the old lady losing all your health and everyone was trying to shoot each other and the other people's old ladies.  the rooms had different obstacles like stairs or shots randomly fired from the walls or stuff.  the reason i am saying all of this is that i really wish i knew how to mod some sort of FPS to make this a game.  it would be like if ico and an fps had a baby.

hi I love shit like this sounds like team fortress etc. plus uh that puzzle with the farmer the dog and the chicken in the boat and the dog will eat the chicken the chicken will drown and the farmer eats everybody

also there is this forum for people who like Autechre Squarepusher Aphex Boards of Canada and some other random shits from Warp Records and stuff and they are all either insane or insane conspiracy theorists and someone there had a dream where they invented a new meme in the dream and they did a mock-up of it

http://yupo.carbonmade.com/projects/2727140#1 lady went through 2 basset hounds and is currently on her third basset hound. her used up dead dogs still follow her around because they would never leave her because she bought them pedigree dog chow. you should buy your dead dog pedigree dog chow because when your dog is dead it still will follow you around forever and it will know you didn't buy it dead dog chow. ad displays cutting edge use of computer technologies in turning real dogs into glowing dead ones. glowing dead dogs are pasted into stock photograph whithout regard to perspective in this cutting-edge display of computer ad technologies.

so yeah I'm at a library and some lady in the next row was checking email and I didn't intentionally look over but she had some Chinese article open with like deformed asian man with baby face growing out of his face but it had to be shopped because it was like smiling baby face like the Angel Soft baby but it was just weird and not funny maybe it was like the email version of the weekly world news. and it seemed like it was originally a picture of a guy with some skin deformity just non-baby head growing out of him deformity I dunno it was all very fast and I'm freaking out now

that sounds really good to me, this is actually my ideal scenario because most people don't even bother with buses whereas it's hard to finance a bus-only business

the coolest thing is when i make a town huge purely with buses.  in one of our games (i think ruben was in it too and idk who else) i had a set of buses that went almost entirely across the map.  they were completely horrible finance-wise but it was still fun
