Cost of Attendance, Undergraduate, Brown University: Full Time Off-Campus. $71,412

Yet, they have billions in investment funds.

I'm 110% in favor of higher education, but not at schools that are run like an exploitation racket. Even state schools, that receive loads of Federal funding, are exploiting students financially. It's insane that it has gotten this bad. Soon, the upper class will be the only ones who will be able to afford an education. In light of everything else, that almost feels intentional.

Apologies for the slight digression here, but institutes of higher education that are overflowing with cash make me see red. You're a school, that's not how any of this is supposed to work.

Strike, and strike again, deep into the heart of Mordor. Ignore the cries of those who only wish to keep their coffers full.

They only killed a small percentage of the people who purchased them. Please, think of the innocent shareholders.

ETA: Look at the downvotes on this new post. The one on my comment arrived instantly. Not normal on this site.

You can tell they're Russian uniforms because they each have a little pouch sewn into the crotch, to hold a bottle of clean urine.

Netflix seems to hold on to content for as long as possible, but HBO is going the route of removing content to avoid paying residuals to cast and crew. Frankly, because of that terrible decision, I'm relieved to see people leaving. That's right; I subscribed and they removed West World right as I started it. I'm bitter, but mostly, that's just a nasty thing to do to the cast and crew of shows that people love.

Also, side tangent. What the hell is with modern marketing firms getting into the brains of c-suites and talking them into destroying their brand? I mean, "Max"? WTF? HBO has been a household name since the 80s; everyone knows it, there was no need for a change. You know what Max is to most people? Cinemax, another household name from the 80s. Just stupid.

Every time I go to buy cat food I have to hunt down the bag, because some asshole talked them into a logo/design/name change. They're changing something their customers look for, because some marketer is rattling around in their heads. It's maddening.

People ask me where my wife works, and I can't remember the name, because some marketer talks them into a revamp every 2 years.

Did everyone just graduate from the Elon Musk School of Dumb Marketing Decisions? PLEASE STOP, DAMMIT!

Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, these people are willing to take a risk in order to overcome difficult conditions, and that should be allowed. On the other hand, it feels like Neuralink is preying on their hopes.

If the company figurehead wasn't a libertarian billionaire edgelord, I might look past that second hand. No chance of that, though. He's going to kill people, and then he's going to retweet memes about it.

That burning anger you feel when reading about stuff like this, is partly the point. Your outrage is funny to them, and they can't wait to unleash more contradiction and hypocrisy, just to watch you squirm.

I'm not saying to ignore them, or to become apathetic. People should just be aware of that aspect, so they're not as easily toyed with by vile little men, like Tuberville. Ignore the trolls, look for the helpers, and cheer them on.

Apologies for the light digression, and rant. I typed that out as a reminder for myself, more than anything else. So tired of these clowns gumming up the works of every single thing they touch.

PSA: Lenovo has gotten in trouble for hidden Chinese malware on their laptops, multiple times.

Careful with their hardware; it's no longer the company that built the name.

My answer is probably boring, but it works, and I had fun with my own. Just set up Wordpress. At this point, you can find templates for any site design imaginable, and there are a million plugins for it. It's an all-around solid platform, that has mountains of documentation. Wordpress was made for blogging, can't go wrong there, but I've used it for all kinds of stuff, including ecommerce. It's simple and effective enough that I have a hard time going any other direction.

I used to host Wordpress sites on a home LAMP server; it was a fun project that didn't cause a bunch of headaches, mainly because of the amount of available documentation. Search "wordpress self-host" and you'll find a whole lot of information.

Good luck with whatever you decide on!

This part is also, ummm, interesting...

BleepingComputer has confirmed that this API is still openly available to anyone on the web, even after its abuse was reported to DuoLingo in January.

The bullshit sentences are the ones we mainly hear about, and many people have a bit of a confirmation bias because of it. But, you don't have to look further than your own community to see that slaps on the wrist are not typical.

US citizens are the most incarcerated people on Earth, by an uncomfortable margin.
