Apparently making GBS threads expensive, I can't find a link where lowtax is talking about it but its thousands of dollars.

e: And on top of that he doesn't have another job as far as I know so you need your lowtax wages every month.

Getting your parents to buy you in is the real admissions standard for USC. The people with good test scores taking out loans do not get it.

Surely if you just donated $500k to the school your kids would get in? Naming rights to buildings are cheap too, you'd probably get a building at least out of that too.

Partying, football games, not actually going to class because you're too busy global trotting because you're an Influencer? Checks out.

What bothers me about this is she's taking up a spot for someone who actually wants to go to USC. If you don't want to go to a 4 year college that's fine. Frankly we as a country need to be a lot better providing access to high quality trade schools, but it go through all the hoops, have mom bribe your way into a competitive school, and then admit that you don't actually want to go to get an education at all? Why not just go to campus ever few weeks and party? No one will give a poo poo.

I know that I don't post a lot either, but I will say that I appreciate this group of vets and AD. You all have been a huge help and genuinely post interesting things. I'm not on Twitter, so when people post some of the more educational threads, I always learn a ton.

If someone has the Discord link they'd be willing to PM me, I'd appreciate it.

Same for deets, please. I like to think that my posts demonstrate the enlisted credo "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

Also, before the lights go out, I hope the tax man gives us enough of a heads-up to repost this:

Even my facebook feed of mostly Army bandsmen is somehow full of Trump fans and tacticool operator wannabees.

I chipped in a hundo on the direct donation. I wish the taxman would set up a Patreon or subscription for the forums. I'd rather not donate to his lovely comedy where he says the N word.
