Yeah, I guess its not worth it. It just sucks seeing different reports of arrests and complicity with Israel that keep coming up and that I'd be contributing to the institution.. But it kinda seems like most universities are guilty of that now so it feels impossible to avoid. Bah

I would imagine on my own it wouldn't. That would be amazing to organize a boycott though but idk how I'd go about that. unless I could manage that, it would only keep me where I'm at now which is working low income jobs for years, probably

I'm nearing 40 and can't afford to move, and their masters program is very highly regarded. So for me, it's either go back to school there or don't. But my profession pays poverty wages; with my extensive experience I would be extremely lucky to even make 50k. Ive BEEN making 37k pretax for years. So I would likely have to try to break into another career path and I just don't know if I can handle all that

Having an existential crisis rn because I may have to choose not to pursue my masters in protest of my universities position on global politics... I would really like to talk this through with someone if they have the capacity stalin-stressed

I mean at least you were undefeated all day though, that counts for something! Haha.

I'm old so I keep referencing Third Strike because it was my fave besides the SNES games, but I think Elena made her debut in that one and she was super fun to play! Pretty fast with super fluid movements because of the Capoeira style.

In hindsight the first instance was soooooo satisying. Just innocent tiny me minding my own business while this kid comes up and challenges me thinking he was gonna WRECK me. Not that day

Hell yeah, who do you play? I don't play any of the newer Street Fighters but I love the series

Two of my greatest accomplishments in my life, probably:

  • Beating a middle school/highschool aged boy at Tekken when I was like 8. He got super mad and stormed off, I then felt bad and looked for him to tell him he could take over my game which would've been so much more humiliating lol

  • Beating someone who was obviously an arcade rat at Street Fighter 3rd Strike when I'd only really been playing it on PlayStation
