  • That ship has sailed, I got my education a long time ago. I did have nearly perfect SATs, 1570 out of 1600 and also had sports and community service, had the 2nd highest GPA in my class of 800 coming out of high school in the San Francisco area. I could have gone anywhere, but I couldn’t get scholarships and wasn’t confident enough in what I wanted to study to take out big loans for Ivy League schools.

    In retrospect I’m glad I didn’t go to an elite school. The elite are generally all terrible people.

    Yeah I got some experimental dentistry as I kid because it was 10% the cost of braces. It left me unable to floss because it is so painful. And as of today I haven’t been able to go to the dentist in over 20 years. The only thing being white ever got me was no college scholarships.

    I have chronic breathing issues and so I have a nice air cleaner right next to my side of the bed. I also have a lot of gas. I often rip them so good the air filter almost immediately kicks from low to high. My wife is not as amused by it as I am.
