Santa Monica, 3rd Street and beaches

Big assumption here is that people are actually being "educated" during their undergraduate years. For every STEM student I met in undergrad, I met at least three people majoring in nonsense who are now undoubtedly baristas.

This reminds me of some friends I had. The woman was a ridiculously hot natural redhead, and was loaded rich with family money. I was obsessed with her. Her husband was a dipsh!t drooling buffoon. I got her kid out of a typically usurious karate school contract and she was very grateful. One day I walk into my usual Starbucks near my office, and see this joker husband making my decaf Americano. I was wondering what a stay-at-home dad married to a very rich woman was doing working at Starbucks. He said he was bored and just needed to get out of the house. I mentioned this a bit later to some mutual friends and it turns out he was addicted to porn and spending thousands of dollars a month on it. She busted him and gave him one chance to clean up and made him work as a barista for a while as punishment lol. Only after I moved to Charlotte did I find out she cut him loose soon after that.

Anyway, that's my barista story

[poison]

Hahahaha, that's hilarious.


Whoa, wait, roll this back. You said decaf Americano?

Decaf?

Americano?









Gtfo

[Farley1324]

How the **** does a person spend thousands a month on porn in today's world wide web environment?

I mean...sonofabitch.

I'll just assume that by addicted to porn you really mean addicted to strippers/escorts/hoes, because that's a lot of damn money

fcking sweet that brewery is 5 mins from my office. I know where I will be going right after work.

Yeah, because only college counts as education. Trade school doesn't. /extremesarcasm yeah, we really need more liberal arts degrees...



That's not what I said, not even close.



Nah. Look, we're in a world where you have to apply for a good preschool the day the kid is born. If they're not reading war and peace by age 5 they go to kumon. Kids in high school can't just get straight a's, they have to get straight a's, play multiple varsity sports, speak multiple languages, run multiple clubs, etc. And that's not even college. After college, all the extreme levels of competition mean is you'll have to be a total expert in something that has nothing to do with the job, and even then, some underprivileged minority may get the job even though you put in more work. 'well, both guys can code, but this guy's a black belt in embroidery and home brews beer, so we'll hire... Wait nah, we need more diversity, take that women there instead'.

I'm all for education, even free education, just not free college education for all, because it's retarded, and not what the country needs.

The problem is that no one in their right mind should be paying $10k/semester to take underwater basket weaving. Second, NO public university should even be OFFERING underwater basket weaving for $10k/semester for kids to pick.

If a kid is dumb-enough to want to pay that much money to learn a useless degree, then that's on the kid, and the university should be entirely self-funded.

What I would advocate for is affordable STEM majors and trade schools for the public to be free, or heavily subsidized. You know, back when I went to the University of Arizona for $990/semester (in-state tuition), and I could pay it out of pocket working a full-time job in the summer, part time during the school year earning $4.25/hr (min wage at the time).

20 years later, it cost more to go to the UA for 1 semester than it was to go for an entire 4 years because the state subsidized the tuition heavily back then. I know kids who were born in 1994, and now couldn't even afford to go to college in less than a generation.

[DualRectifier]

Hahahaha, that's hilarious.

Decaf? Americano? Gtfo

I start out in the morning with a homemade double espresso, then work out with a PWO or Monster or Rockstar. By 11:00 I need decaf. Same routine for years.

I also assumed it was hookers/strippers, because I'm not even sure how you can pay for porn, but this guy was racking up $5k-$10k just on internet porn, per month. Apparently that's possible. She told me the story personally later. I imagine webcam models had something to do with it. This guy was way too much of a pussy to go out and get some in real life. And he was stupid enough to sign their kid to a $20k irrevocable karate school contract. The worst part about it was that he was married to an insanely hot rich natural redhead. That's the damn unicorn.

Being sent to Commifornia, more specifically LAX/inglewood area for work sometime in the next week or two. Going to make sure to spend the weekend there too so I can get to enjoy a day or two.

Any suggestions from west coast brahs? Never really traveled outside of FL.

On the Agenda:
- Go Lift on Muscle Beach
- Eat In-out burger
- Try some legit Medical devils lettuce
- ???
- ???

Hermosa Beach. It's my favorite spot in So Cal. Sit at a bar watching people walk to/from the beach while you're getting drunk.

[SpeedCheeser]

If you apply upward pressure on the magazine, does it instantly become easier to use the release? If not, is it a matter of the button feeling like it's a little snug in terms of fitting the frame or of (mag release) spring tension?

It does. It's more difficult with a full mag, and pressing up on it does make it easier. But even with no mag in it at all, I feel like it's still a little snug or rubbing on something.

Edit: and it's more difficult to press from the left side than from the right side for some reason.

Jakes on you, we didn't touch his frame. lol

wat? That was me, you tard! lol. I was legitimately asking if there was a way to fix a rough feeling mag release in an XD

Oops, got 100 things going on at once right now. I'd take the button out and sand with 500 grit or so sand paper if it's that stiff. Oil it up & reinstall. If it's tight in the frame itself or against the mags, that should solve it.

Another thing that bothers me with the whole free college thing is that it completely ignores primary education. I refuse to send my kids to lausd, it's a nightmare riddled with cover ups and controversy. So my mil was kind enough to out both kids through private school through 5th grade.

After, my oldest went to a charter middle school, the first year the charter opened. The women who opened it are outstanding individuals with more talent and drive than anyone I've seen in the education system, and they did a fantastic job. But guess what? Lausd doesn't like the charter system because they lose money to it, and it makes them look like the ****bags they are. So what happened when the two year lease in the church the charter was borrowing space from was up? Lausd offered them a space in another city. Now, the charter is called Westchester charter, and it's mission statement is to serve Westchester. Lausd had an empty middle school campus a mile away. They refused to let the charter have space there, due to environmental safety reasons.

Oh really? Do the adults taking adult ed classes through the city there every day know there's a safety issue there?

That's different.

Sure it is. In the end, the school took the only space Lausd would give them, miles away in the area with the worst crime rate in the city. Most teachers quit, and most kids didn't continue at the school.


My point? Yeah, don't worry kid, I know you're sitting in a portable caravan in 110 degree heat with a 40-1 student teacher ratio, and your teacher has to buy supplies out of her own money because the school won't, and you're being set up to fail from the start. Don't worry. You'll get free college and everything will be rainbows and gummy bears.

****ing free college. Right.

Johnson is garbage and most libertarians dont like him. America had its chance with Ron Paul and blew it.

I dont understand why people doesn't like Ron Paul, please someone aware me... is it personality that doesnt appeal to the masses ?

We really need a candidate that hits the Hispanic population. .

Que ?

Ron Paul, for all his ideas, just was not a very appealing candidate from a communications perspective. To me, he always seemed kind of confused and not very articulate at all. Rand Paul can come across as an arrogant douche.

Please elaborate, I'm really curious about him not being able to gather support...

oh well, the only fruits I need are Mangos, watermelon, and grapes.

dindu, honestly wondering what type of compound in the peach giving you the allergic reaction.

Add in the whole 'free college' thing, and it's complete manipulation of the populace. Why do they want free education?

I dont think free education for everyone for everything is needed....


I think as a nation, there is a needs for planning, studies that project what will be needed in the next 5, 10, 25 years as far as professions, and there is a place for free college and training. IF we estimate that in the next 10 years we need 10,000 nurses because the population is getting older and more people will need more care, then we create scholarships for that.

If the infrastructure needs maintenance and improvements, you open the scholarship for people that want to graduate in eng, specializing in bridges and structures, ect.

This way we avoid people getting free education in comparative literature stuff like that.

The argument for free education is that many people who go to school have to take these outrageous loans that they can never pay off. If you ask me something that you pay for and then with that degree cannot earn enough extra money to make up the difference in what it cost you in comparison to not going is a very poor investment. Basically when we are saying that people can't afford college, we are saying it is a poor investment for alot of people.

Now liberals want to take a bad personal investment and make it a bad federal investment and pass all of those poor investments onto the taxpayer. They literally go on and on about how bad of an investment it is (under different words) and then clamor about how great it will be for even more people to make that poor investment only with someone else's money.

excellent point. I think the whole "free college" idea will also work more on the technical side.

I don't know who is labeling Ron Paul as a libertarian, but that old white man sure thinks it's his and the government's business to get all up in a woman's uterus and tell her what to do

For me, his personality and delivery were very off-putting . . . he had some good ideas and policies, but he just came across and kind of confused and stammering far too much for my liking. Always kind of felt like I was being talked to by an elderly neighbor droning on about the dogs in his yard or the latest government conspiracy or something. Couldn't take him all that seriously and couldn't envision him being president.

EDIT: Inb4 "that's what Taf reminds us of."

I made the mistake of buying a sigma 40 cal as my first handgun when I turned 21. I guess we all make dumb gun purchases at least once in our life right? Trigger was on par with my 1942 mosin nagant. I sold it less than a year later and never looked back. I will say it was 100% reliable though.

There never was a firearms sub forum?

You mean the "Outdoor Recreation".

It was slow as **** and I guess it's gone now?
