It may be that the kid uses a Mac and that's the nomenclature he's familiar with.

I read the archives at works several years ago, but I think it's because squarebeard copied cooper's blog and then cooper got him fired.

I have not read all the retail strips, but... Cooper, being the Office's Jim of the strip, had set up a "lounge" on the roof of the mall, basically some patio furniture and some snacks, so he'd have a place to relax during his lunch/breaks. As a lowly employee, he could get away with this, but it was presumed that if management ever found out, he'd get in trouble for it. At some point, Squarebeard also worked there, and they had a rivalry, and the Lounge was involved in some way with Squarebeard getting fired.

In the intervening years, Cooper has gotten promoted, and now has more responsibilities, but it also means he had to shut down his Lounge, since it looks a lot worse for management to have a slack-off spot than it does some inventory guy.

I think Squarebeard is implying that cooking the store's inventory to make Cooper look good (so he never got fired) is Squarebeard's revenge. Cooper is stuck in a lovely no-nowhere job, and if he'd been fired, he might have actually done something with his life. And after he got promoted, he couldn't even Jim the situation and have fun under his bosses' noses, because now he has to be respectable. Hypothetically, Cooper could 'win' by just quitting and improving his lot in life, but the odds of that happening are pretty low.

I thought this whole thing was resolved. But here it is again. Because in Luann we can't have nice things.





So I bet Bernice wasn't supposed to just blab this chick's name to everybody, but whatever, it's not like she follows any of the RA rules beyond slavish devotion to curfew.
So the way the Evanses resolve that already stupid storyline is just to make up a new character no one has seen or heard of and just say "Welp, there's your answer!" and completely forget about Piro and the other weird roommate or Tiffany or whatever other "suspects" they hinted at for these high crimes at the dorm. Some real fine professional writing there.

Because I think that's going to be my prediction here.

Nope, this is supposed to be the Hollywood star who looks so much like the comic store geek who wrote his movie that you start questioning all the other artistic decisions in the strip.

Depending on your intended major, they might softball you on the general ed classes you need that are from another discipline. My first trip through college in the late 90's/early 2000's I knew I wanted to major in English early on, so I completed my science requirement with a class literally called "Science for Liberal Arts Majors." We did such complex experiments as tie dying t-shirts and distilling alcohol from random fruits and cough syrup. I was underage and my teacher gave no shits. Also she was arrested not long after for running a meth ring, but I digress. The math class I had to take was also basically "easy math for math haters", but less interesting to talk about.
