Maybe your parents would get joy out of you spending their money. Might make them feel needed and like they are taking care of you.
I say spend it while you can. From what I’ve gathered they seem to be doing ok. You can save the “I’m an adult, I don’t need their money” card for when your out of college and broke 
I plan on going into academia, so “out of college” will be a while 
, I 'll definitely get a job, or at least a solid investment portfolio by then though
There was a period there that universities had barely any clue about copy and paste let alone about the internet. Folks would copy encyclopaedias up on there and you could plagiarise the fuck out of anything.
To make things even more fun, nearly everything was surrounded by porn. So it gave you a great activity to do with all the time you saved on your assignments.
My high school English teacher would Google sentences from our papers to see what popped up. We couldn’t plagiarize anything.
On my course they told us they ran every paper through software that would check similarities with any published work in the field. I was never sure how real it was, however enough people got caught to tell me there was at least a sliver of truth there.
Then Turn it In became a thing…
It is real but it didn’t really come in until the late 90s (early 2000s?) and it was so unusable for a long time that if you changed the order of a sentence and changed some words it was too hard to tell if there was copying even if it did pick it up.
Luckily for me I graduated about 2009 so I had to do my research properly and then use the internet for its original purpose. Porn.
What’s the deal with guys and porn? I see/hear references all the time and don’t understand it
In this case it was mostly for comic effect. But it can’t have escaped your notice that guys like to look at naked ladies, surely?
Most girls don’t have the same burning desire to look at things we find sexy that men do. Or the somewhat uncontrollable urges. Blessing and a curse. I couldn’t imagine being a 12 year old boy in this day and age… if I were a betting man, sexual distinctions due to porn are probably gonna be a huge thing here soon.
For sure. I’m mot smart enough to be able to guess what kind of effect all this readily available porn is going to have on society, but I’d be willing to bet it won’t be a good one.
yeah, but I don’t get why… definitely a topic for another thread…
I personally find a lack of clothing quite offputting
Others have touched on the calorie thing, but I just wanted to point out that I, too, often find that I could eat more of something if only it were not filling.
What is this “full” thing you talk about? I’m not sure I’m familiar with it.
Good sir, why do you put quotes around the word “full” when I did not say it?
That said, every week I continue to validate that my body has some unlimited capacity for steak and a tolerance for 6 tater tots.
That describes me 100% 1kg of meat no problem, but 2 slices of bread at breakfast fills me up until noon
Rest assured it most likely means something is seriously wrong with you.
Because my childhood was spent watching more Friends reruns than is healthy
I’ve yet to test the limits of my steak eating ability but I don’t remember being genuinely full in several decades. Maybe it’s a skill I should learn.
