I absolutely hate sweet food. I thought, for the longest time, that I hated yogurt, too. When I discovered real, nonsweetened yogurt, I was mad that I'd been missing out all these years. There's so damn much of the sugared crap in the yogur

There's way less sugar in fruit than there is in HFCS and/or table sugar laden jam. (ex: 1 tbsp of smuckers has 12g sugar, vs approximately 0.08g of sugar per every 1 actual raspberry.) If you were to put a small dollop of jam on 1 cup of y

From the notes on the post: "somethingcatchyhere reblogged this from marissamayr and added: you better not fuck this one up “marissa mayer,” if that’s even your real name" Stay classy, tumblr. (Or "stay uninformed," more like.)

Yeah, seriously. My first reaction was, "Wait, you wanted this userbase?" Yahoo is so unhip that they don't even realize what they've gotten themselves into, probably. I'm sure some sane people have blogs on tumblr, but they're vastly out

If calling it what it is makes you feel uncomfortable, you should probably think about why that is.

"Over all, the report found, published college tuition and fees increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007 while median family income rose 147 percent. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, and students from lower-income

I'd have been a radical then and I'm apparently a radical now. Sigh.

Race cars sound quite exciting.

I see. I almost thought about applying to transfer to CU, but didn't since I didn't know how their financial situation would work out. Non traditional students don't really get a lot of help with these things, and it's uncertain enough as a

Yes, a white kid from a $500,000/year household clearly has SO much more in common with a white kid from a $20,000 a year household than he does with his black classmate who also lives in a $500,000/year household. Race based discrimination

Race based discrimination that favors any given minority will only come after the political/social upheaval that disadvantaged them has ceased to exist, more or less. At least, you have to reached the peak of your civil rights movement for

I think it will first take realizing that they don't deserve to be discriminated against. A lot of my asian friends are just like, oh well, nothing to be done about it. It's an attitude I find quite perplexing. Even the ones that do care ab

It makes perfect sense. We've traded one group that it is socially and politically ok to hate based on their skin color in for another. I guess the idea that we should stop with race based discrimination altogether is too novel yet. So long

100% agreed. People take "well rounded" to mean "better person." In most cases, what it actually means is a person who has never known what it's like to feel hunger.

"Colleges admissions desire a diverse mix of students." They could try looking for actual diversity, then, instead of just an aesthetically pleasing mixture of superficial skin colors. Accepting 100 multiracial kids who all attended the sam

Unfortunately, your experience does not match reality, wther it "jives" with it or not. Blithely ignoring the actual situation is, of course, almost guaranteed to ensure that poor but smart people will continue to be priced out of college e

There are plenty of articles out there documenting the inaccessibility of higher education. In my experience, and many others, the "aid" system is a ploy to make people who can afford college feel good that they're there on merit (instead o

Why did you transfer? Just curious.

Well, and then you have people like me who had to wait 6 years to become eligible for enough aid to even pay tuition, much less pay for food or rent. (I applied for about 40 scholarships when I was 18, so it's not like I didn't try or anyth

Yes, the bombing in Boston, 9/11, etc were all a government conspiracy. I suppose you think the Holocaust never happened either and that vaccines cause autism.

Picked up, and read. Wrong on all counts. :)

Thanks for the information. :)

Yeah, seriously. (I'm one of them.)

I've been similarly disappointed in the failure to deliver a coherent storyline for some of my most anticipated games in the last year or so. Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect 3, I'm looking at you. :(

Off topic sort of, but--how is the programming market for developers in the UK? I'm an EE major and think it'd be cool to live abroad for a while after I get my degree, but I've heard the UK doesn't treat their engineers very well. Does thi

" As far as I'm concerned, anger and hatred on a racial basis is rarely, if ever justified." ^---this. If we say it's okay for a certain race, why not the others? It's logically unsound. Far better to not hate anyone on the basis of their s

Conservative fundamentalists bully me for being born the wrong way and having liberal views, and recently the liberals have all taken to bullying me as well whenever I post stuff about, well, male victims of sexism or white/asians being vic

"As a male, it's acceptable for me to "hate" maleness, and I think that's better than leaving only females to dismantle patriarchy." Please don't hate yourself for the way you were born. Believing in the moral righteousness of self-hate ove
