Wait what, 1 year? FFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care about artists, so that's why I never knew

@jgray
just get it yourself on the safe side. Just in case he doesn't accidentally buys a fake one, with nuts and bolts to go with

Thanks!

Dammit need to get out now! Stop being so entertaining!!!

Last note:
I've fallen in love with the mobile version of head-fi.
It runs like an app BUT in a browser!
It can keep the multi-quote to tje next page!
The top part changes to head-fi logo when you are scrolled to the top most page and changes to the thread topic if you scroll down, in a browser!

And on episode 8 of Haruhi. Really enjoyong it!
Until Friday then!
Although they have broken up for almost a year now, so it's a bit late.

That too.

Good episode, but I dislike the new main character. I also feel as if his voice actor simply doesn't suit him. Most likely because I have watched tons of anime in which he played a main character, but never ever was it an overly muscled teenager.

What do you dislike about him? If it's because he's not a gentleman like Jonathon, then... well I don't think I'll say it since that would spoil every arc after Phantom Blood. Well for me it's quite fitting since I like how he carried his voice as a muscle-bound teenage Ripple user. Like I said before, he seem to be able to carry different roles quite adequately, at least from whatever few experience I've had with him (mostly Ikkyu from SZS and Hidenori from Nichibros). But maybe you're right, since you have more experience watching anime with him as MC. It's still to early I think.

Meanwhile, I'm feeling depressed and seriously considering the possibility of dropping out of uni after ~4 years. Recently it's been hitting me hard (though I've always known it to some degree) just how stifling, trapped, and utterly oppressed academia and the current education system is. There is little to no free thought or creativity, just convention and mindless thought and action based on primitive beliefs, romantic fervor, and taking current outrageously violent and obsolete socio-political-economic-cultural conditions for granted as intrinsic states of nature. This is not a good environment for learning or science. If you try to do or say anything a little too intelligent or actually be an honest and open person, you are in need of "advisement," ostracized, or marked a failure. No one gives a flying frak about actually educating anyone. Almost no one has the ability to see things in any way other than that in which they've been told to see them. Almost no one really cares about using their knowledge and technology to actually solve problems, or trying to make the world a better place for everyone on this planet. 

 

It sickens me that pretty much everyone both attending and working at schools thinks the point of it all is to "go to school for the sole purpose of getting a "job" making someone else rich, get married and buy a house and car(s), buy stuff you don't need to impress people you don't like meanwhile people are starving and being killed everyday, have zero freedom and be in constant debt, have and raise kids which will probably end up being equally as oblivious as you because you have no idea how to educate them, die. " And you call that "success?" Well I don't want success!

 

And honestly, a degree in music doesn't get you Schiit. What's the point? Especially since I'd just end up being several thousand dollars in debt afterwards? Working in the music scene/industry doesn't require any degrees anyway. While I probably would learn plenty of useful things at school, it's nothing I can't learn elsewhere.

 

tl;dr. Sorry for the spontaneous rant. All I can say is: Don't let school interfere with your education. Gonna continue a little Toradora now and then off to bed...

You could study on your own and also hire a tutor or whatever (is there any college level tutors there btw?). You can freely do what you want with what you have afterwards. Though, there is a higher risk of unemployment since your employer do want proof of how "smart" you are. Unless you wanna start a business and know what to do with it, I'd say stick to achieve a "successful" life

Yeah, the education system is stupid... but that's the way it works now.

 

I have a pretty good reason to go to college, that is, the privilege use their resources and facilities free of charge.

I don't give a damn about getting a degree or a job as long as I can have fun doing what I want to do.

I plan on doing post-grad studies just because I can keep using the college resources for my own projects.

Who can graduate in 4 years nowadays? I'm looking at two more years minimum from now to get a bachelor's.

 

In any case, I've got another quarter ahead at least. Already payed for parts of it. After that...I've got some serious thinking to do. My parent's will probably flip out if I propose this idea to them, haha.

 

Oyasumi.

That's what all the IB teachers tell you son, but in truth it will just be the first half a year. The IB syllabus is larger than most other school systems', so it will undoubtedly cover some university theory. However, the advantage will only last for about half a year.
I agree with you that IB is a much better preparation for university than other school systems (like my local one, for example), but it's not some holy grail. It also does not have a heavier workload than university as some people claim. It's just that most people doing IB don't know how to plan ahead correctly, while in university most people DO learn that. It just seems as if IB has a high workload to most people, but it really is not that bad at all as long as you keep breathing and just do the frigging work you're supposed to.
Engineering expects much more personal initiative and working hours than natural sciences and math do. For some the personal initiative part is very difficult, while for others the difficulty of the subject matter itself is what makes the natural sciences and math too difficult for some.
I don't have to do jack sh*t at home, but I do have to pay very good attention at lectures and make good notes.
This Pocky is made in Japan. It has been bought in Japan and taken here by personal luggage in airplane.
One of them has two packs of 12, and the other (expensive looking) one has 4 packs of 6.
It says ココア仕上げ, or 'cocoa finish'.
It also has some scary looking string of kanji I can't decipher without the use of a radical dictionary (for which I am too lazy).
Here's a picture:

Reaction too... what?
This
Wth?
For real dude, what do you even think of us? I honestly have no idea why we would react like you implied to that statement.
In fact, I truly feel offended. So here's a big f* you from me to you.
I love all of you guys, and I consider all of you close friends. I don't know where you got it in your head to think otherwise, Panda. Did you forget the fact that I was truly shocked and got depressed when Graphidz left for a while half a year ago?
This.
Except Uchuu Kyoudai gets priority.
