I guess I should’ve stated it better, I meant more so how will a cop notice your skin tone that quick if you drive past him at night going let’s say 40-50mph and he’s pulled over on the side of the road with his headlights off, but then again I might just be reaching for a one-of-a-kind scenario

Yeah my mom was on a ten year track for her program but then they gutted the special ed department many people there were forced to retire, including her and 4 other potential ten yeared staff. Said the dean and upper levels didn’t give a shit about gutting certain departments and leaving people without a job without a buck. She also said she’s worked for some shitty professors with track records of sexism, racism, and very poor teaching quality, and the university kept them on because of the money they brought in for research grants. Corrupt large school and I’m glad I didn’t go there.

It often takes many many tries at rehab and other forms of quitting for the ones that have actually made it stick and have been sober long term. And even then, it normally takes having a support system on top of just the programs.

I recently reached out for help after years of substance abuse. It's not opioid addiction, but alcohol. I had to see the doctor and counselor once a month. For me to be prescribed Naltrexone, I had to take a urine test for a tox screening. Each visit I had a $20 co pay and had to pay out of pocket $488 dollars. That is WITH insurance that I get through my employer.

I had to recently cancel my last appointment because I paid nearly $1100 in the last 2 months. $500 extra dollars a month is something I do not have.

I guess I never took notice. Pigeons and regular birds yes, but not seagulls. LOL

Core memory unlocked

Eventually Penn State will ditch the "education" part of its portfolio because it's a money loser and will focus on its core business, which is running semi-professional sports teams.

Lol, I do remember the Weis and Hills.

To be clear, I think this all only really applies to bigger schools that have big sports programs. There are plenty of colleges and universities out there that are primarily about academics and whose athletics programs are about giving students opportunities for exercise, recreation, and growth rather than being focused on selling tickets and merch.

Anything that brings you to the attention of the cops increases your chance of getting a ticket. The darker your skin color, the more likely you are to be shot and/or given the ticket. Put those two things together, and it's a recipe for problems. But given your answer I assume you're at the lighter end of the melanin spectrum

I know this isn't the question, but I think tinted windows are one of those car "safety" features that just make it more dangerous for everyone not in the car. When I'm walking or biking, I rely a lot on being able to see the face of drivers near me so I know that they can see me before I use a crosswalk or make a turn. I need to know if a driver sees me or if they are just looking at their phone. Can't do that with tinted windows.

>On the whole, the system is taxpayer and student-subsidized entertainment in what should be an educational system.

I was just bitching to my buddy about this yesterday. What the FUCK is the point of college? What do these sports have to do with it?

Its all because instead of college football being a fun time and something to do, it became corporatized and tied in with professional football. College hasn't been about higher learning for a long time now.

RIP Pathmark and Superfresh you will be missed and I'm still not sure if you were two words or one.

Opioid and other drug addiction treatment shouldn't cost low income residents money as long as they follow through with the prescribed treatment imo.

They just announced a new plaza that'll cost a pretty penny.

I can tell you, the satellite campus I attended has lost around 10-15 established professionals over the past 5 years. it's nowhere near the same campus that it was when I attended, and everyone who is left is just exhausted from having to do the work of 3-4 people since PSU doesn't know how to post competitive job listings or actually hire qualified people.

But they had a hiring freeze in place. Through that hiring freeze, all of the academics made their jobs "high priority," which allowed them to hire through the freeze. And on top of that, they have 40+ executive level positions currently available.

​

Its a mess all around.

they're the hypertensive seagulls, cant be too close to the salt water with that high blood pressure

I have 3 buddies who work at PSU. One is in HR and the other two are programmers in different departments. They all complain of the same things. The entire university is mismanaged, bloated, and being sucked dry by the people who refuse to accept that people working at a public university shouldn't be making millions.

Make millions in sports, make millions in tuition, ask for millions from alumni who paid tuition, then they go and build stupid-ass buildings that are art projects that end up costing more to maintain than the cost to build the stupid thing.

All 3 of them have been playing with the idea of jumping ship.

Yeah, it was there by the late 70s, I think, and through the 80s.

It was next to the KMart, which is now At Home, by the Best Buy, which used to be a Weis. Across from Giant, which used to be Hills, which is next to… a flooring store? Which used to be Giant. Also near the Hobby Lobby. Which also used to be Giant.

Due to global warming the Atlantic Ocean now reaches Harrisburg.

>As much as you may not like it, the football team brings in way more money than it costs.

This is a little bit misleading. Yes, PSU football probably does bring in more money than it costs, but often that money is used to subsidize the rest of the athletics department, rather than lowering tuition costs. And while PSU may be included in the tiny minority of schools whose football programs are profitable, the vast majority of schools lose money on football.

And of course, PSU couldn't have a football program if there weren't lots of other teams to play against, so it doesn't make sense to limit the analysis to just a single school. On the whole, college football in the US loses more money than it brings it. On the whole, the system is taxpayer and student-subsidized entertainment in what should be an educational system.

Its all part of the plan. r/birdsarentreal
