It's the only way out, brah. You're never getting that money from a bunch of 14yo, 3rd generation edgelords on a comatose image board

High school is your first opportunity to start making connections which will be useful throughout your career. You also learn valuable social skills that will help you function in a work environment.

Graduating is optional. I don't think anyone other than hardcore nerds actually believes that a degree will land them a job. The curriculum is of course a joke. The concept that the education system has a monopoly on knowledge is an even bigger joke in the era of mass global communication.

I wouldn't pay $2 to listen to boomer lectures let alone $200k when I can pirate literally any textbook on any topic I want with a few clicks. Hell even if I paid for the books it still wouldn't come to more than a couple hundred.

So anyways, office jobs are just like high school. And that's being generous. Some workplaces are indistinguishable from a fucking middle school. Expecting things will magically change once you leave is running from reality. You'll keep encountering the same types of people all over again. The same faggots, the same nerds, the same retards, the same nutcases, the same fucking losers and the same gaynigger situations.

I'm glad some people are finally figuring out the federal student loan program was a racket and seeing it for what it really is. Believe it or not a whole lot of young people still fall for it, get strapped with enormous student loans, end up owing the government from those loans for the rest of their miserable lives WITH INTEREST and many go back living with their parents broke and unemployed. The unlucky ones get a notice from the IRS as the government starts garnishing their wages to force payment for their worthless diploma debts.

Yes you can currently learn almost anything for free online, and would be stupid not to these days.

Social skills and crashing parties is about all high school is good for.

By the time a Chinese kid reaches ten years old they are taking algebra classes while dumb asses here in the USSA can't even count up to 67 yet they worship the number for absolutely no reason at all. I'll be frank here, we're fucked.

 >>/78459/
Chinese 10 years old don't know anything other than algebra thoughbeit

 >>/78462/
Modern Chinese educations is far, far more advanced than ours is. Now days half the kids entering high school can't even read. This was not the case 40 years ago of-course.

 >>/78464/
Nowadays half the kids in our schools are niggers.

Most people support the police state until they become a victim of it.

wanna talk about it fren

Go outside and take a walk sometime.

That is part of your problem and why you are so depressed. Insecurity. Isolation. Constant fear and dread of the unknown. You got to snap out of it. No amount of alcohol, drug consumption or mental therapy is a cure. It is something you have to snap out of. Take that first step outside. Walk up to a person IRL and start a conversation, even small talk goes a long way. You can snap out of it but only if you take responsibility.

Every civilization that allows themselves to be disarmed by a tyranny deserves this fate, sadly. You trusted government just a little too much when in reality throughout human history they are always known to betray their own citizenry for power and glut.

 >>/78010/
they are known to? no, that's literally what they are. there's never been a good government, government is synonymous with parasite. once you have a government you're screwed, unless the people are the government, in which case it's not really the government as we know it

brit here, this is an understatement. please fucking help me.

 >>/78010/
when a government cares about its people its suddenly called fascism

 >>/78431/
How about we just use that very word against them to describe their tyranny, like a script flip? Tyrants do this all the time gas-lighting the public so maybe we should do the same to them?

It won't happen and cannot possibly be enforced. Too many ways around it today. Anyone can have access to bootable ISOs, hundreds of Linux distros are currently distributed and shared over bit torrent and various file sharing networks, millions of copies of older Windows and Macintosh operating systems still exist and even still selling on sites like Ebay, not to mention all those Windows bootlegs that come preactivated. I don't see how this can possibly be enforced even with the most severe attempts to crackdown rebellion will always exist.

fuck niggers

The elites have turned everyone into criminals, liars, hypocrites, and cowards.

The only good thing about living in a police state is that no one can take the moral high ground on anything.

most windows bootlegs are mostly same with few changes unlike linux distros. also you should have official iso (avaliable free on windows site) so you can compare what changes bootleg isos have

 >>/78399/
No not necessarily true. Some are almost identical activated rip-off copies but not all of them are. It all depends on the programmers or source of whichever bootleg. There are some that are stripped down, debloated and lightweight. Some are very minimal, barely use up any hardware resources like RAM or CPU. I have tried Windows 10 bootlegs that work as well as Windows XP. Whether or not you like Microslop doesn't really matter when it comes to free stripped down knock-offs, they come in handy if you have software to use like WinRAR, DVDShrink, Nero Burning Rom or Foobar2000. Some p2p networks like WinMX only work with Windows so I use it or lose it.

 >>/78361/
Fuck oligarchs like Bill Gates and fuck having to register your phone number and email just to use a bunch of forced auto-updated spyware that crashes half the time you use it. I'd rather take my chances with a free bootleg.

Looks pretty cool.
Tho the post sounds like an ad. Are there alternatives?

 >>/77708/
> Tho the post sounds like an ad. 

i thought the e-ink technology was interesting back when the first kindle came out but i knew what amazon was gonna behave like so i avoided it until recently which was a big mistake. since i started using a very old (i think 14 years old) used kobo device, i am loving this and i wish i would have found this sooner. it's an ad for the usefulness of the technology, not for any particular product or manufacturer.

if you try to use a regular computer in the sunlight you will have to crank up the brightness so much that the device gets hot and drains the battery quickly and probably get hot just from being in the sun. i never knew how much this mattered because that means computers and devices generally draw people into the darkness but as i have read (on the little e-ink recently) the sun is very healthy and now i regularly lay in the sun in underwear with a little e-ink and i read. sunlight is needed for the human body and i have found books help me with reducing doom scrolling. so this little technology has made my life better.

> Are there alternatives?

there are all the dedicated little devices, most of which are too enshittified for me to bear. on aliexpress you can find one other dedicated e-ink screen that can also do 60 fps, i think it is cheaper but i don't know how good it is, i was only able to find one short video about someone using it.

another regretti i have is not looking into formats in which ebooks are available.

there is the .pdf file format. it has a layout that stays true to the way the person who saved the file made it, which can be nice to preserve the exact autism of the author or publisher but means the text can not re-flow, so when you try to read it on a little kobo, you can display it but it tries to display an entire page on a tiny screen, which is generally not usable.

there is the .epub file format which i think is free but it can include drm; not sure. the epub can re-flow, meaning it will look good even on a device with a small screen because the size of the letters can be chosen by the user. of course this means the intended autism-layout from the author or publisher is only respected in so far as to suggest a default font-style. i've seen little e-ink readers that are smaller then a smartphone even and with epub, a small device like that can be useful. it is easier to edit epub with a program like calibre but it is just a type of zip so you could just open it with a program that understands .zip and .rar files and remove/edit/add the textfiles, image-files and folders that make it up. I DIDN'T KNOW SOMETHING SO NICE EXISTED!

then there are other proprietary file formats like .mobi (that was bought by amazon) or .AZW, .AZW3, .KF8, .KFX (which were made by amazon. i stay away from those.

The Soviet Union was dangerous, but the Communists have defeated the USA without military force.

If the government can force you to buy insurance, what's to stop them from forcing you to buy snowblowers and boats, too?
