  • There exist loans that are intended to never be paid off. Usually the lender says something like “you don’t have to pay until you graduate!” but they neglect to mention that the interest still accrues for four years, so no matter what you pay it will always be interest only payments.

    Combine that with an inability to get a job in your field (lawyers and drs especially) and you have an entire generation that will never have the ability to pay off their loans. Plus the debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy so some people can never truly be free from debt. ETA: this is no longer true (thanks Biden!) But still the point remains: College should be free.

    Your attitude is pretty toxic. I’d suggest you familiarize yourself with the situation before you go victim blaming like that again.


















  • Schrödinger was scared of his own results, that’s what his cat is for. Not to show some profound effect about wave function collapse, but to show how the wave function must collapse (despite his calculations showing otherwise) because if the wave function doesn’t collapse, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead, which is preposterous.

    However, we now know quantum entanglement to be a real thing; so, as bizzare as it sounds, the cat is both alive and dead, always. The number of timelines containing an alive cat diminish over time until eventually, dead cat is the only possible outcome. This is strong evidence for a multiverse existence. When you open the box you simply discover which universe you’re in.
