  • Idk about making something new, but some existing formats would work well.

    Galaxy brain: start with Texas should secede, return TX to Mexico, create a new country for oppressed Mexicans

    That one with the person in the corner of a party or whatever “they don’t know my ‘FREE TEXAS’ bumper sticker is an ironic reference to the bombing of Yugoslavia and not an endorsement of the Texas nationalist movement”

    Edit: just an image of the graffiti with

    Nato: we must intervene and protect oppressed people

    Belgrade, 1999: cool let’s start with Texas







  • Did they specify that you can’t write about benefits and drawbacks? I guess if the assignment is specifically about writing positively even when you disagree, like many people have to do in real jobs every day, then I’d say just do the assignment and move on with your life. I barely remember anything I wrote about in college, and I probably disagree with half of it now.

    If you aren’t willing to do this for a grade now, grad school is gonna be rough. At least in my program, it was very much about giving the profs what they wanted and not what you wanted. They’re basically training you to be part of academia, which requires a lot of keeping your mouth shut when you don’t want to and jumping through hoops for grants and such.

    I’d suggest just talking to the prof about the assignment and maybe they’ll say it’s cool? I wouldn’t recommend going outside of the assignment unless your GPA can handle it. Grad school applications tend to be highly competitive and if this class is in your major, it’s gonna be weighted more heavily




  • Go to any place that sells used electronics and look for a Brother laser printer from the last 10 years. You can probably find a high end one under $30 if you’re patient or live in/near a larger city.

    Inkjet is better quality printing, but they fucking suck for nearly every other reason. Toner can be expensive, but it basically never goes bad or dries up. I’ve seen Brother last 20+ years of regular use.



  • I mean, it’s more than just social media that was getting blocked/banned. They aren’t just posting selfies, this is where people find work, romantic partners, new friends, hobbies, etc. It was happening due to government incompetence and corruption, which has been a long-term issue.

    So you’re right, but really the so-called social media ban is much more than that on its own even. I don’t think the person you’re replying to here is trying to say it was just over social media either. Also I think they live in Nepal by the way they’re talking about it.
