  1. Braving the depths of Chinese internet and shady download sites to avoid paying for textbooks

    1. TheOnlyGuyEver

      Major in English, make your own textbook, become what you once despised.

      Safe gamble, IMO. Buying all those textbooks is more expensive than buying a new computer if you get horrible viruses. Worst case scenario you break even on funds.

      The textbook industry is really weird at the moment, in that a growing number of people are writing open source books and distributing them for free online (or using print on demand services and selling them at slightly more than the cost of printing), while the larger textbook companies are gouging prices at an extreme level even for them.  Thus it's not uncommon to see two equally good books for the same course with one available for free, or costing at most $20 or so, while the other is $300.  The price range of $40-$180 is very sparse, with everything above or below that.

      No. You must accept your failure.

  4. I saw a vulture today, I wasn't aware we had those.

  6. This bad coffee is filling me with equal parts joy and rage.

    1. Buddhazilla

      Buddhazilla

      There is some solace to be found in bad coffee. On one hand, the bitter taste is part of the experience. On the other, some coffee can really just taste horrible and irredeemable.

      It probably is.

  9. Is it racist to shoot sand people if it's a Starwars game?

    1. Batty Batterson

      Batty Batterson

      Of course not.

      Yes. Tusken Raiders everywhere are highly offended.

      Bring us the grill but wipe away the grease first

  11. I bet the cops in Chicago are having a hell of a time playing "Gunshot or Firework?" today.

    1. Guy923

      Guy923

      The cops in detroit are probably just taking the day off and pretending it's all fireworks. (None of it is)

    2. <Witty Name>

      <Witty Name>

      The cops in Sugar Land are probably eating donuts because I'm pretty sure nothing ever happens here except for that one bank robbery a year ago

  12. Machete Kills was a fun movie.

      Don't ever play 1-on-1. There are some scary motherfuckers there who play this game for a living. If you see a Japanese name, FUCKING RUN.

      But what if it was the Hamburglar?

  18. This new mechanical keyboard is twice as clicky and loud as my old one!

    1. hugthebed2

      hugthebed2

      I kinda hope to get a less clicky one in the future. It's nice but it really is loud and I feel for my family sometimes when they're forced to hear it.

       

      The only benefit is that my typing speed looks mythical to my parents because every keypress is emphasized.

      I don't get the hype behind them.

  19. I built this Paper Mario website for my Uni capstone, then they announce a new game. Go Figure
