Pokémon Go

Indeed. It is that really in a nutshell.

[lolin]

yeah

some of those situations are interesting though

the best way to look at it if you're trying to date someone or are interested in someone and they deny you, to make sure you think "well, at the very least, maybe i've gained a friend!"

[H03nn89]

Indeed. Very much so.

[lolin]

idk, i try to be upbeat sometimes, but life knows how to kick you in the shins and steal your ice cream cone

combating negative thoughts i've grown up with in my life is pretty hard

[H03nn89]

Yeah life has a way of doing that.

[lolin]

lol i went looking for a specific comic of a guy getting beat up by a personification of life and found a better comic

[H03nn89]

Ah yes, that is probably correct...and very accurate.

[lolin]

do you still have debt from going to school?

[H03nn89]

Yeah. But unless I earn a certain amount of money I don't pay it back. It gets wiped clean in 25 years, and I'm like what...8 years in now.

[lolin]

that sounds really awesome, actually

if student loan debt wasn't both crushing and permanent over here, i'd have gone to a 4 year university a long time ago

[H03nn89]

Yeah, luckily I went when the fee rate was frozen. The year I graduated, they took that freeze off, and now courses charge what they like.

[lolin]

dang, good you got in then it seems

i haven't looked at rates for interest on our student loans since i got outta high school and thought i'd be an electrical engineer (probably still could be, might just need tutoring in math, but do i want to be? hell nah) but i assume they're crazy and out of control

[H03nn89]

Most probably. I know some courses over here now charge 6 grand a year.

[lolin]

wait wait wait, when you say course, do you mean a single class, or a set of classes?

[H03nn89]

Well, it depends on you course. So I assume everything involved in the course, unless you have to go on field trips etc. But year, that's a year., plus, if you have to buy equipment, that's all on top of the price.
