the kind where you can't call people you don't like reds any more, for, uh, reasons. you gotta keep up to date with the enemies of the state, so right now you have to insinuate that people you don't like are aligned with best corea instead.

imagine the most hardcore cold warriors, but now russia is a friend and ally

i have students who commute from sacramento and monterey

they are really serious about getting all their classes on the same days. one i think has class 9am-10pm two days a week with an hour for lunch and that's it

i had a 45 minute commute and had a similar schedule when i could wing it. my dad was legit furious cause he thought i was gaming the system somehow which was interesting cause he drank himself out of several courses in his college days

this was literally my first year of undergrad. 45 minute drive each way but only had class tues/thurs. I took like 21 units a semester or something. I frontloaded a lot of poo poo while I was still enthusiastic about going back to school

the ultimate insult will be when the ads consistently load more quickly than the information you’re actually trying to see.

i buried the lede, but the company is specifically looking at monetizing your location data, and profiling your driving habits. direct in-dash ads are just the most obvious method of doing so
