What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Ack]

Not really. We had two in two months. In that same period, how many traffic fatalities, rapes, domestic abuse cases, kidnappings, suicides, murders, airplane crashes, natural disasters, etc., did we have nationwide? This is so uncommon, the media still talks about it.

This is a good point...even if there weren't any air travel or natural disasters in the past two months.

if people knew they could just end it

Considering most of these killers blow their own brains out after they're done with their rampage, they are obviously well aware they can "just end it".

The June second one is my favorite report of a natural event ever:

A brief tornado tracked across an open field, causing no damage.

Yeah. I guess I shouldn't have been so insensitive. The last two months have been absolutely horrible for trees, chickens, and open fields.

[Ack]

EXACTLY. And robots in Philly.

Forlorn; you continue to spend too much time thinking about other folks situations. You don't know for certain what they do or don't have in their bank accounts, what kind of loans they've taken out, what kind of credit card debt they have, etc. Most importantly NONE of that matters. You let your assumptions lend themselves to convenient excuses for you to not do things you don't want to do.

A novel approach - if you don't want to do something - don't do it. Don't tell us it's what your family expects or any other nonsense. You only need to do what you need / want to do.

If you want to quit school and pursue something else - do it. The reason most of us will tell you to stick with school is those who went to school, got in debt young, got degrees, now have good jobs and can purchase the things they want and have multiple options for careers. Those who didn't stay in school, like myself, have regrets. Let me assure you my mindset was very much like yours. It wasn't until I was 4-5 years removed from dropping out of college I realized my professional options were VERY limited without a degree and let me assure you further it was CONSIDERABLY more difficult getting a degree once I had to also be working full-time to support myself and my family. You most likely are going to be working for the next 40+ years. My advice; take 3-4 years now to make sure it's something you love. If you love grunt labor or being a mechanic - go for it. Or better yet, go survey a group of 50 yo construction workers and stagehands - ask them if they are happy with their career path if they were you; what would they do in your shoes?

Drop out of school so I can get kicked off of the only connection I have to anyone who cares about me in any form? Yeah, that's great. Real hard to get anywhere in life if I don't have a roof over my head and some food. If I'm going that route, I'll fly to Norway, figure out what I have to do to get into Halden Prison, and do that, making sure I get a full sentence. I'll live that way until I get let out, then just end it because my options are pretty shit.

And I'll never have a family to support, so using that pull is null on me.

You are the one complaining about school all the time...and did you read the post. The advice was not to drop out...unless YOU didn't want to be there.

Regardless - you'd commit a crime that would get you a life sentence before you'd...get a job? I think you would be best off to stop thinking you are a victim and lacing everything with so much drama.

Why do I have to stop always thinking I'm a victim? We have a political party dedicated to it, but they don't cater to me, so I have to do it myself.

And I do want out of school. I want nothing to do with it. BUT, that means I will be kicked out of the house, lose all of my possessions, and have literally nowhere to turn. There isn't a homeless shelter around here. Squatting will get me arrested. Nobody in the area will hire someone without a car.

And prison is a great option. No work, I can improve my body, and if I do what I must, I can get solitary confinement and not deal with people. Its great all around.

Well you might as well sell drugs and live it up first!!!

And prison will be work for $1 a day and work to stay alive and not be a punk. I know people there and it does not sound fun.

But REALLY listen to the advice at hand. I know people that pulled out of the construction scene to go the computer networking route at age 50. Do it while your young.

Sounds like you got life figured out, then.
