I just a little analysis of college tuition I paid since enrolling.

I go to a small 'cheap' state school and started taking classes in Spring 2014. From then until now (just paid off summer tuition), I have been charged ~23K in tuition and fees. Fortunately I had grants and scholarships that amounted to ~19.5K in the same timespan and had ~1300 reimbursed by my employer. So I have only paid ~8% of the tuition charged to me.

Not bad, and I'm thanking the stars I landed the scholarships I did. I wanted to avoid taking out loans.

This reminds me of the time I spent 27 a semester, that's right a semester, on tuition before realizing in-state tuition was like $2700 a semester. I got a license and became an in-state student fast as shit three years into my time as a student.

Yo, I'm ready to buy some new clippers for my beard, but as y'all know black skin isn't the best to work with. Anyone got some suggestions? Amazon links would be helpful. Already checked google. Less helpful.

I'm coming from somewhere in the western region....

I'm sitting here with my customized Arizer Air communing with the stars thanks to dat 'dincinal that comes from the earth. My spirit animal is thee shit as he curls up at my foot.

*pats wolf on the head*

Did I miss memorial day? Shout out to my great ancestors for making this country great through all the world wars. RIP to the Harlem Hellfighters.
Sounds cheap. So no savings. But the 'everything' is low, compared to most big cities. That's a plus. Lots of pretty young faces. Sometimes i wish i was unattached so i could wreck shit (and talk on the phone all night... Hahahaha, nigga you ain't shit). But c'est la vie.

It's honestly a push at best. The culturally diverse (read: places with black people) areas are some variation of the following:

Cost of living is high as shit in places with diversity.
Minorities are too damn territorial.
White people either hate your ass or fetishize you to an annoying extent.
The young beautiful (legal of course) faces are cool but a lot of them were raised on prejudices and aren't worth the headache. Imagine an Xbox One with the internals of a Colecovision and you'll understand this conundrum.


This makes me miss my upbringing in Cleveland ducking shootouts, kids acting as lookout for their moms while they shot up on a public sidewalk, stabbings, and gun violence. I miss the time a homie brought the AK to a school full of people and I had to talk him out of going rambo on the whole school. We got it done covertly and no one was harmed. Damn I miss getting into *EDIT* and *EDIT* and *EDIT and lest I forget *EDIT*. Those were the good old days.

That Depp thread keeps descending into more levels of fuckery. It's funny how everyone agreed that Cosby was piece of shit, but with Depp you have all the benefit in the world.

Is it just me or is the news barely covering this shit? This thread was the first I heard about the divorce being more than just a divorce.

That said let's keep the comparisons on the same level please. Chris Brown/Mel Gibson comparisons, ok. A rapist with 50+ victims? Chill.

Hanh? Is there a link to this fuckery for us to analyze?

Apartment hunting in another state and looking for a job at the same time is the most depressingest shit ever. Looking into spots in Salem but everything is too damn expensive and census stats show I'm outnumbered to a ridiculous extent racially.

Looked at Salt Lake City but it's polluted as shit out there to the point I might as well live in Beijing... especially with that proposed porn firewall they're building because porn is a public health crisis according to legislators. Idaho is not a state I'd move to.

Las Vegas is too damn expensive, I'm black, and prone to respond appropriately to dehumanization.

Montana is too cold but doable under the right circumstances.

Meh, I'm frustrated. Houston and Atlanta are intriguing...

Stay the fuck away from Oregon. Especially towns like Salem, Medford, any town that starts with a K, and potentially Portland too. I got family all across Oregon, and them niggas act like they're trapped on the set of Rosewood.

i think my grandparents and cousins were the only black people in keizer. and a lot of black people in the city seemed in a constant state of shock. and the state itself.... a lot of people write off the east part of the state, but i say fuck anything south of eugene. got off the greyhound at a rest stop at roseburg once, saw the hills, heavy clouds, and natives looking like they wanted a piece of my ass and got right back on

Happy in the sense of being grateful for those who have passed to provide us with our way of life (whatever that may be).

thank you for your service

Cosby is a piece of shit, I mostly meant initial reactions when said news broke.

Cosby had a history. This wasn't the first time we heard about Cosby. We all knew about the trial in 2004. But that was early internet. It was slightly like amnesia or a hand waving.

Now with Twitter, even small stories can blow up in eyespace quickly. So, Cosby had a reputation that shattered, a legacy people still fight over (look at most actors from the Cosby show for their reactions) and a ready made list of people to hunt down.

Comparably, Depp has his two exes already giving statements of support, as if that matters. But, if you find another Depp ex who claims to have been assaulted, the internet eagerly awaits.

Thank you Bad Boy for your service. But I can't forgive you for what you did to Junior Mafia. Actually, just kidding. They were propped up by Biggie. nvm

Never knew that about Cosby, until the news broke just knew he likes to throw black people under the bus.

Watching the trailers for the upcoming TV season and alot of it seems very low budget even for network. You have race swap Training Day and then Terrorist attack.


Thanks for the service bad boy.

He somehow eluded critique for a few decades. I see that as his fate. He was immune and his big fat mouth got him in trouble. Instead of laying low, he talked more. Spoke at graduations and kept his comedy bit up. Attacked black people and hid in the shadows of doubt and identity politics.

Jeebus. Hope for the best.

Damn. Rest up and feel better.

Good luck man

Getter better soon, Hypernima.

Thanks guys. My recovery is coming along great. And I went outside for the first time in 40 ish days which was amazing.
Long story short

  • I go to the hospital. I had to spend seven hours in pain in the ER. A nigga had to be a drama queen to get a room.
  • I get transferred because they wanna do a semi risky procedure at another hospital, I refused it because I assumed it was just pneumonia due to the symptoms and didn't want a central line because they are risky.
  • it's pneumonia. I'm treated and released. But day later crisis pain comes back. I go to same hospital with shit ER but they discharge me because I'm not "sick", luckily my primary care provider is down the street. I have to get a letter from her stating I'm not a drug user and my character is good. That I've never even asked for narcotic scripts (I have not actually)
  • they eventually let me in, apparently it's too late and my high pain level makes me go delirious. I get transferred to another better hospital and get put into a coma. My organs take a beating. Doctors have Lil faith because my hemoglobin is barely 3. I'm on hemodialysis.
  • I wake up. Get updated and freak out. My particular case of crisis is 1 in thousands of survival apparently.I'm very lucky

The details closer to the end are fuzzy to me cause I was put into the coma but from what people say that's what happened.


I graduated while all this happened. I worked too hard and it showed. This is a second chance for. I'm gonna take things more easy. Thinking of buying a ps4 with graduation gifts I receive. I never treat myself.

EdibleKnife tell me more about your struggle.

It's weird, cause I've almost died from pneumonia three times. Once in high school, once in college, and once immediately after I was born.
