first year classes for animation and illustration majors were all things like history, english, math, and especially a math I had taken and hated.
a strong southern drawl at the end of a phone call confirmed that, “we like to make sure all our students graduate with a nice well rounded education.”
so I withdrew and didn’t go at all.

Of course there were breadth requirements. Manners maketh man. Higher education isn’t about jobs training, it’s about producing people who are familiar with the arts and sciences, and have the tools to apply knowledgeship.

I went to a concert the other night and every single band was begging the audience to buy T-shirts and merch. I know the venue situation has been dire for a bit, but I've really started to notice bands pushing their merch more and more and I'm wondering if the cuts are just getting more brutal or people don't have the money to spend on a $30 tee. It seems like the bedrock of being any sort of social influencer is being a T-shirt salesman.

on rock/metal news websites there are a bunch of articles quoting musicians in Europe and America talking about the costs of touring now. here are some articles from the past year. you’ll have to excuse blabbermouth’s wordy as hell articles

Yeah the point of college is to make well rounded citizens, but I think OP was complaining about having to redo all the classes they already did in senior year of high school, not having to do non-jobs training classes at all.

Oh yeah, I knew that makes a significant amount of money for them, but I've been going to concerts for the last 25 years and have never seen bands actively pushing their merch on stage this much until the last few post-covid years. Maybe its just more socially acceptable now to promote your stuff now in general.

Less people are going to concerts because there are no post covid years so they gotta sell to a higher percentage of people.

200k in NYC is 130k take home, a 2 bedroom in Manhattan is 5k-6k on average; lets say 6k because you want a nice place to show off.

So that is 72k a year for your apartment, probably another 7k-8k at least for utilities, apartment insurance, building expenses, so that is 80k. You need to eat and go out etc plus other expenses, so lets say at least 3k, a month or 36k. That isn't even getting into other random mandatory costs. Also, you can't take the subway, so add in Ubers everywhere unless you want to pay for a space and everything else.

You could always cut further, but it just takes money to live there if you want a middle class (ish) lifestyle.

I showed that tweet to a friend who lives in nyc and his analysis was that was just a dumbo trying to live in the heart of Manhattan. He rents a 2 bedroom with his partner for 2400/mo, split (so they're each paying 1200/mo) and is purportedly a 15 minute subway ride from Manhattan. No cars but they don't really need to uber everywhere because there are a decent amount of public options, I dunno a lot of things on that list were dumb. He found it particularly aggrevating because his friends/family not from the area constantly give him poo poo about living in a super expensive place using dumb articles/tweets like that when the reality is there are a lot of people making far less than that, that do get by. It just doesn't include stuff like budgeting 10k for travel annually while telling people you're barely scraping by.

Fiber that isn't digested by your stomach goes on to nourish gut bacteria. Seriously, go start taking psyllium husk and then PM me in 3 months when your life noticeably improves.

Psyllium husk makes your gut bacteria depressed and suicidal and they will refuse to swim or eat, no thanks.
