I think they mean the nature and true goal of higher education is not to educate, but is singularly profit and make more and more profit each and every semester. Profit above all else but hopefully, but not nessecary whatsoever, an institution's shamefully underpaid and overworked staff has the time or energy to properly teach the next generation their area of expertise.

Higher education wants $$$ and they know the government and private corporations will issue about any 18 year old kid, fresh out of high school who has been pressued their entire childhood to either go to college or be a homeless prostitute, massive and insanely high interest "loans"

It's to take from you and burden you with debt that can't be undone, even in the event of personal bankruptcy. Why would this system give money away when they can loan it out for an abusive & permanent high interest loan that would make even a gambling addict blush?

I remember for a while back in the late 90's maybe, a lot of kids would have one of those custom airbrushed shirts youd get at a flea market or county fair with their name in BIG BOLD and colorful lettering all the way across the front.

Little kids playing at their local park could easily be approached by a stranger saying, "hey joey! Your mom told be to pick you up. She's in the hospital and we have to leave right now!" The panicked child follows the man who is seemingly confirmed sent by his mom because he knows his first name, forgetting anyone who's not legally blind within a block of him also knows his name.

Luckily we don't see much of that these days. Creeps are now limited to accessing merely every single detail of a child's life because mom runs a Facebook or Instagram for their child.

Cage fight: Mob Deep & Mos Def vs. NWA & Snoop. Who would win?

P.s. K.L. does the halftime show for that one too.

Edit: Trick question. WuTang wins.

Aight, I checked and it's not them, but I'm def gonna give them a listen. Looks like they only had 2 albums. 10/10 hint tho.

EDIT: oh shit, the guys from "U Know Who," awesome. I'm looking for more photos of them.

The top left looks like a young Mos Def. This album came out in 1994 and his first album came out in 1997. BUT in 95', he was in this group that did an album called "Manifest Destiny." So the dates line up kinda.

*Edit: After a bit of research, Mos Def's 1st album came out in 97, not 99.

It's progress. Moolio, Schoolio, & Goolio are still on the table tho.

I used my graphics tablet and my "e"s are a little wack I guess

 

Ya'll said no stupid questions, so here it goes... I've been on a huge Coolio kick the past 6 months or so I've been listening to his albums but haven't watched any of this music videos. Tonight, I decided to smoke some weed (Not a super regular thing for me) and watch some Coolio music videos. Do any fellow 90's kids recognize any of the three other guys in the car with Coolio? If this isn't the place to ask, I'd really appreciate some direction.

Ours speaks in riddles but I'm really bad at riddles so I'm still unsure of why we hired him in the first place. The last town wizard conjured unspeakable entities and was really good at making balloon animals.

Yeah. The sad part is that this was back in 1997. Their public education system is in far worse shape than it was back then. Wisconsin had an excellent and well funded public education system so I went from getting a really good education to about the worst possible you can find in the US. So glad I wasn't there long. Some of those kids are still there as adults, still holding out for a successful rap career and sending their little shit apples to the same school, repeating the cycle.

In 8th grade my family had to leave my home state of wisconsin to be in Mt.Ida, Arkansas for 9 months or so. During that time I had to attend the local public school and I remember the science teacher saying "matter cannot be created nor destroyed." I've always loved science and was a huge nerd during that awkward time in my life and I knew well it was ENERGY and figured she just said it by accident. Easy mistake. I said that it was energy, not matter, that can't be created nor destroyed and she argued with me and was dead serious when she insisted it was indeed matter.

I said something along the lines of hydrogen turning to helium inside the sun, and wouldn't ya know it, she didn't believe the universe was old enough for that to be true and only god can create matter... Yup, she was a 7-day creationist who wholely belived the universe was 5000 years old teaching science in a public school in bumfuck Arkansas. I gave up and a lot of things she said before finally started making sense but in all the wrong ways.

This bumb bitch was a fundamentalist Christian. The rest of the brief time I was there, and for the first time in my life, I didn't give two shits about a class that was usually one of my favorites.

I just saw another post with a cat named Penny. Here's my girl, Penny. I'm her person and she's my soul kitty. You can always find her in the kitchen fussing for food, in her princess bed or in her dad's lap.
