i have 2 cats, siblings, one is cute and the other is ugly

Show thread

this is an infohazard because some cats have cuter face than other cats . unfortunate

but then, top state unis in indonesia (which are better than private) cost around 7.5 to 15 million rupiah which is around 600 - 1400 usd, with many getting even cheaper than that

seems insanely cheap in comparison

Show thread

ofc with the caveat that "middle class" by rich country standards comfortably puts you at the top 1-2% of poor countries
