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

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

i just realized the extent to which cats have different faces. i thought at least within the same species they would all have the same face

if my calculations are right, in a couple years from now all zoomers will be 25

my theory is kids who are born later grow up faster. eventually they catch up

You mean kids kept being born while I was a kid? Not only that but they also grow up???

nvm there were many things i didnt consider

basically the answer for everything is just - cultural capital lmao

sometimes its almost like? i'm getting a better deal?? weird, not sure if this is right

probably off on some of my estimates idk

ok the pay is dogshit by western standards but i can get lunch for like 2 bucks and rent in the metropolitan area for like 200-700 usd/month depending on ur living standards

with a degree from such schools you can pretty easily snag white collar work at the capital with comfortable quality of life that is at least within top 5% of population. car, mortgage, kids def affordable

i.e. seems like pretty good bang for ur buck

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

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

as a foreigner it's interesting to note that attending top universities is so expensive that it's almost as unaffordable to middle-class westerners as it is for us third-worlders

i once wished my father would be just a tiny bit less honest so that he could pay for me to go to college abroad, and then later one of his friends who owns a mansion in singapore got caught up in a corruption case lol

ngl for a good while i thought "antinatalist" meant someone who is against Christmas for some reason

damn conflict theorists always causin trouble, i tell ya hwat

"it's not authoritarian, you can reasonably object thru the accepted methods!!" reminds me of when my govt says "we're not anti-criticism, you have the right to file complaints and aspirations to the Bureau That Receives Complaints and Immediately Throws it in in the Trashbin!"
