  1. Hey looky at you Probably need some more food Eat my nutsack, chew! (Not Asylum-related, RIP)
  2. I hear both at the same time. It's dependent on how old your ears are. As you age, you lose the ability to hear higher frequencies. The "Yanny" is a high-frequency that damaged, or old, ears wouldn't be able to hear. It's similar to a dog whistle. There used to be a bakery near me that had a dog whistle blowing at all times and it would keep the kids away. The adults were oblivious.
  3. Holy mother of lord baby Paratus, that just sent a cringe throughout my entire body.

    College Apps

    Currently a senior at IU. I don't have quite the same perspective as some of the other people here, since I haven't graduated yet, but looking back on it, here are my takeaways: 1.) Seriously, community college is the way to go for the first two years, unless you can snag really cheap tuition via scholarships. 2.) Going into Freshman year, you will probably have no idea what you want to do. All of my friends that had "career plans" prior to college, ended up changing majors eventually. 3.) Develop a plan of classes in advance and plan exactly how you will graduate in time. Freshman year, I made a plan of the types of classes I was going to take every semester for my four years of college to fulfill requirements. It doesn't have to be exact classes, just stuff like "Science Requirement Here, Math Requirement Here". 4.) Find electives that actually interest you - this will help you find a major. 5.) Try and snag internships every summer of college - or at least some kind of work. It will pay HUGE dividends in finding a job. Also helps you narrow down what you may want to pursue as a major or career. It doesn't have to be an "official internship", it can be a personal project or something productive that you pursue on your own. 6.) Finally, be careful what you end up majoring in. Obviously you should pick stuff that interests you, but beware of the realistic career opportunities that your major will provide you with. For example, unless you want to be a teacher, don't major in something like English or History - at least not alone, you can make it a double major alongside a more job-friendly major. College is an investment. Be mindful of this. - Caveat: Don't just chase a major because of the money. The living you can achieve after college is important, but isn't the only important factor. Choose something that genuinely interests you and that you enjoy. I have friends that majored in "Finance, with concentration in Investment Banking" and are miserable in their current entry-level Investment Banking jobs. Those friends chose their majors solely based on the income they would make after college and not because of any interest whatsoever.

  10. "Disruptive". "Our products are disruptive!" Not really used here, but it is by far the most annoying buzzword in Tech for me.
  11. Wait... HOLD ON A SECOND! I found the Kajun we all know.
  12. I was like you... then I dropped my Ak12 in a car and tried to retrieve it back when I got into combat.. Let's just say I bought Apex on the spot
  13. This guy speaks the truth. Making these type of threads never ends in the OP getting a gang invite - I'd take Sean's advice.
