I still don't understand why people in America need to go in debt to go to college. What even is student loan debt? Nobody is in debt in Europe for going to college, you finish college with 0 debt and then you go find a job.

This really seems a typical ridiculous American thing.

Most European countries are drowning in national debt, and they aren't even funding a silly military empire like we are. The whole, "I live in Europe, and we force future generations to pay for stuff we use today" line won't work forever.

Nah. It's usually something like 1-5% that actually makes it all the way through the system to the people who need it.

I think you're confusing charity with government welfare.

700? I could buy into like, the top 150 or so, but 700 is a bit too flippant and I'm guessing he'd walk that back if he could

She was thoroughly beaten by a dude ranked 203 in the past. So top 150 would be a giant overstatement.

Not just a rank 203, a drunkard declining rank 203 who held back. They were in their prime.

Those sisters used to brag that they should be allowed to play on the Men's tour. I think the exhibition you're referring to is the reason they quit talking about playing on the ATP.

Not flippant at all. The satellite tour is full of guys who were used to dominating junior and college tennis.

The Men's tour is a brutal grind and hardly anyone should even bother trying to pursue a pro career. Top D1 guys regularily go nowhere in the pros much less get into the top 150.

This thread reminds me of all the CEmen saying they would destroy Ronda Rousey in a fight.

how so

0 people in here have claimed they would personally beat williams in a tennis match

it seems more like people are realizing he was baited and the ensuing rage-fest was pretty clearly the intent of the interviewer (and the goal of the people pitching the twitter shit-storm) rather than him doing something inappropriate

I said reminds me of it not a direct comparison. And yeah you have people saying high schoolers would beat her which really reminds me when CEmen neckbeards were like I could beat up Ronda Rousy. Not that I think she could compete with men. People just take it to extremes.

Well there are 17-18 year olds that could beat her but that's not really relevent anyway. 17 year old Nadal won the French Open IIRC. At 18 Jack Sock was already ready for the pros.

Top D1 college players would beat her, and when those same guys try to play pro they are often ranked 500-700 or worse. There is just no comparison, she can't move and play defense like men can. She hits hard, but when her ball pace seems similar to what men hit it's because her ball is flat(little to no spin). Comparing men's tennis to women's tennis is like comparing the NBA to the WNBA.

This isn't mean to insult her or stain her legacy, but some SJWs in media are pushing a narrative that she is the best PLAYER ever, not the best FEMALE player. The two tours can't be compared to each other. Federer is the best men's player, Serena is the best women's player.

Imagine being all fired up over fake news for months.

Some on the left like Glenn Greenwald were smart enough to distance themselves from the Russia conspiracy theory, but most weren't.

State pensions need to be allowed to collapse.

Because contrary to what ignorant f***s say we live in a society that empowers males at the expense of females predominately, and many men grow up to be entitled scumbag sociopaths as a result....

Strange. Who is raising these men? And which gender is more likely to pursue teaching as a profession?

That's fine, people can vote with their feet and get out.

Frieza: "Have a taste of my... DESTRUCTO DISK!!!" Then Goku balances the disk on a metal pole and throws it back. It's just so stupid.

The point of that scene was to illustrate that even though Goku had vast physical power advantage, he was fighting a losing battle.

I know. The bad guys were already dead so they couldn't die again. But everything about that scene bothered me. The animation, the dialogue, the fact that Frieza doesn't actually use destructo disk in Z. Maybe it's a little better if watched in Japanese.

Not sure how that will work in DW9, but it's probably good news for the Empires spinoff game.

Frieza will probably crush Frost and then get blown away by the Universe 6 version of Broly.

On the subject of GT, a lot of scenes from youtube are painful to watch. Goku vs. Cell and Frieza in hell was just awful.

Wash dishes, mow lawns, flip burgers. High school kids can do that, so you just need to find a help wanted sign.

yeah i guess. i think i need an ID for that right? also don't you have to be a high school graduate to do that

A dish washing job may be attainable without a high school degree based on some stories I've heard. If you're assertive about the fact that you're trying to help yourself and your disabled mom, I think you can get hired washing dishes without a high school degree if you talk to enough people. I'm only guessing, but fast food jobs might be harder because large companies are more likely to have set rules.

Yeah I think you will need some sort of ID. Do you have anything? If you look at the USCIS.gov site you can find a list of docs that can satisfy i-9 requirements.

Try picking up a server job or bartending. You can get money fast and don't need a lot of experience. Literally can get hired the same day.

Also landscaping companies are hiring now.

dont you have to be 21 to go in a bar?

Then I guess you need a job ASAP and a payday loan. If you get a job now, there has to be somebody willing to extend credit long enough to fill the 2 week timing issue you currently have.

yeah but where? like honestly what the hell could my dumbass do that would be valuable enough for somebody to pay me for?

yeah i know get a job

So why are you asking for advice if you know the answer?

because what the fuck am i going to do right now? getting a job right now doesn't mean shit if i won't get paid until a week or 2 after i find one

If you get a job now, you might be able to stretch bills. When I call the power company they generally have an option along the lines of "press x to discuss a repayment plan" or something like that. You would also be in a better position to get a credit card.

If you need money right now, you need some sort of a loan. You can't get a loan if you have no income.

we cant do that for the rent. they have the ability to kick us out within 3 days of not receiving payment.

Having said this, a payday loan would be a last resort if you can't get credit any other way.

Persona 3

Yes. The right wing racists are like SJWs. For example, if they instantly decide that Murray Rothbard was bad because he was Jewish, they are virtue signaling to other racists based on identity politics rather than making a real argument.

Change Nazis to ISIS/Al Qaeda/Taliban/etc. supporters and I bet those same defenders would be wishing their asses would get kicked. Oh, they'll say they would still be against it now, but if you asked them before the Richard Spencer thing happened, they'd be all for them getting punched.

That's why I don't take the "don't punch nazis" people seriously. If instead of Richard Spencer, it was a Communist, BLM member, or Islamist getting suckerpunched, they'd be laughing their butts off and openly praising the guy who did it.

But because Nazis are fellow rightists, they gotta defend them.

anyone who doesn't condone punching the living fuck out of nazis is one themselves.

the anitfa is a fantastic movement and I can't wait until they get even more traction.

Considering how many tens of millions more died at the hands of Marxism than Nazism, I hope you never get what you're waiting for.

If you are going to agitate for the use of political violence against people you hate, don't be surprised when that violence is eventually used against you. Are you smart enough to see that far ahead?

70s and 80s have Queen, ELO, and Rush. Those bands inspired all of the more modern prog music I enjoyed while growing up. So I'd go with one of those decades.

The definition of Nazi as used by Antifa has changed to meaning anybody who is to the right of Howard Dean. Practically speaking, saying "it's ok to assault a nazi" is really saying, "it's ok to assault people I disagree with".

Should it be ok to slug a commie? They killed far more people than Hitler did. I'd say that's wrong, but I'm not one of the people calling for political acts of violence (aka terrorism) in the first place.

But well it's funny for someone to say he or she is pro-life when they support the death penalty, they want to do away with education for kids, social benefits, pro-guns, etc

Plenty of strawmen there. But the appropriate response is, how can somebody be pro choice when they want the government to micro manage almost everything besides "reproductive rights"? And many of those same people want those "rights" subsidized by the government. "My body, your wallet!" isn't quite as liberty leaning as the name "pro choice" would indicate.

why is the alt right mad at trump for this?

I can't tell if you mean the real alt right (whatever that is) vs. typical Trump voters. But Trump was the closest thing there was to an antiwar candidate besides Rand Paul. Instead of doing what he promised, he did exactly what Hillary suggested (she wanted Assad's airfields taken out) and what the Neo Cons wanted. If his voters wanted a neo con, they would have voted for a hawk republican in the primaries or for Hillary Clinton in the general.

Assad had nothing to gain from the chemical attack so it probably wasn't ordered by him anyway. The rebels/ISIS had their backs against a wall while the US was saying that regime change was no longer required.

I guess we can expect more false flag gas attacks the next time ISIS feels like they need the US to act as their air force. It looks like we got the foreign policy of Clinton/McCain/Obama after all.
