  1. Sorry, median lifetime earnings (millions). None of those assumptions are supported by the data. The simple fact is that on the aggregate, college is better than no college (regardless of what or where you study). And that isn't pedantic given that it directly addresses your assertions, i.e. that the value of college is in your specific major and/or your access to prestige and nepotism.
  2. In this context it's only a problem if the increase in earnings don't outpace the debt; per the statistics in your link, the median and average student loan payments are smaller than the difference in median income between Bachelor's and no Bachelor's. And to your second point, even degrees in 'post colonial studies' lead to a larger earning potential:
  3. Says the dad who probably listens to nothing but Kidz Bop and Disney Channel shit.
  4. I can't believe this series is being brought to us by the guy behind Superhero Movie and The Hangover 3.
  5. Not to mention Horizon, and Spider-Man, and Bloodborne. PS4 is the best, LMAO @ the Xbox and PC dweebs.
  6. The only weird detail I'm wondering about is how Sam is Grand Maester, given that it is a position bestowed by The Citadel, not the Crown (and he fucked off like one semester into his studies).
  7. Pittsburgh is what I’d expect: a blue core surrounded by the whack ass suburbs and Pennsyltuckey fucks
  8. I think I could do it in four minutes; two minutes washing my body, a minute washing my face, and a minute washing my hair.
  9. Making Bronn the Master of Coin when he doesn't even understand the concept of debt, nice to see sound fiscal policy is alive and well in Westeros.
  10. They dropped some DLC for Tetris 99, so I will be dancing with the tetrominoes this weekend.
  11. I think my favorite part of this thread is Lucian acting like he's the only one who isn't retarded, then proposing that all women who get abortions should be listed in a registry.
  12. Michael Chabon is apparently involved in this, which means it could be extremely good.
  13. Because abortion is about the literal control and agency women have over their bodies, and owning a gun is not.
  14. I have to ask it again, what show have some of you guys been watching? The show has spent her entire character arc dealing with the fact that (1) her claim to the throne is flimsy-to-nonexistent, (2) that she is for all intents and purposes leading a foreign invasion, and (3) that she is engaging in mental gymnastics ('break the wheel', LOL) to justify her actions. What happened in the last episode is all of those concepts colliding and leading to the most plainly logical conclusion: that she is complete shit and will stop at nothing to rule.
  15. Season 5, Episode 5. After the Sons of the Harpy attacked Grey Worm and Ser Barristan, she summarily had one of the nobles fed to her dragons to scare the other great families.
  16. The only reason people want to call it 'unearned' is because it forces them to reconcile with the awful shit Dany has done that was previously seen as 'cool'. In hindsight her past actions look entirely different, and most Dany fans don't want to admit they cheered on when she fed innocent people to her dragon and proudly burned people alive.
  17. The amount of outrage I could dig up on 'forced diversity' is so evident, I don't think I actually need to bother. Are there examples to the contrary? Sure. But the second a Sucker Punch designer says, 'We thought it was important to represent differently abled people in our game', cue 15 minute outrage YouTube videos by the man-baby contigent. Sure, I suppose. But that just rolls into the points @SFLUFAN has been making: it's lazy writing/design, and there is no reason there can't be more balanced representation when it comes to protagonists.
