twitter lol

I was going to write this blog about a certain someone — you know who you are — but it seems that this blog's prompt is limited to this week. In the odd chance you're reading this, hi :). Anyways I figured it's time to come back to the theme of this blog: politics. 

There have been many occurences during the past week where I've made the conscious decision to judge someone and say: "huh you're a f*cking idiot." Most of this comes from all the time I spend waste reading through Republican Twitter accounts. 

To Ewelina Krawczyk and your comment which states "To all President Trump's haters: has anybody invited you here and asked for comments?" I deem you worthy of the title of "f*cking idiot" as you've appeared to have forgotten the first amendment exists. People have the right to criticize the government. In a more self-reflective tone, me judging someone for a singular twitter comment makes me someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly. 

Then again, this is the hill I choose to die on. Let's take a short walk into Ms. Krawczyk twitter profile. In a post made by her she says "Yeah... BLM and Antigua are definitely President Trump supporters." Obviously this tweet was made in jest, but c'mon "Antigua." You know better than that. In another tweet she says "Turn off TV turn on thinking instead." This was in response to someone referencing Trump and his derogatory language about other people. My personal recommendation is for you to start thinking for yourself instead of blindly believing what Breitbart or PragerU has to say. There are literal recordings of Le Donald saying things like that and yet to still choose to believe that he didn't. You my friend retain the title of "f*cking idiot."

In conclusion, I'm probably a bad person for judging you so quickly and for basing my view of you on some twitter comments. To be completely honest, there are no actual problems for me thinking this way. Mr. Krawcyzk, I don't know what you look like nor will I ever meet you. My opinion of you just does not affect you in any way. Maybe ignorance is bliss, but I choose to continue to believe that you are a "f*cking idiot."

A Trip to Carnegie Mellon

 Having lived in Oakland for the majority of my life, I was born in India, I've never had the opportunity to live in a "big" city. I've only lived in the suburbs. When it came time for choosing colleges, I definitely didn't want to end up in another suburban city *cough* *cough* Ann Arbor *cough* *cough* and so I looked elsewhere.  I became quickly fixated with Carnegie Mellon. Pittsburgh, where Carnegie Mellon is located, is an odd city. It's got a big city feel without actually being a big city. Rather than trying to describe Pittsburgh, here's a picture that I took when I went there (funny how I committed to a school I hadn't even visited :P) blogger compression is so bad :( Pittsburgh has a medium sized downtown with SKYSCRAPERS!!! I'm so excited to be going to a college in a city with SKYSCRAPERS! In any case, the rest of Pittsburgh, outside of the main college town, is just run of the mill suburbs which is a nice taste of home. Having been to...

Ha! You're Poor!

The Great Gatsby highlights the disparity between the upper and the lower classes of society. The disparity between classes is extremely visible in the United States. Poverty, the classic marker of the lower class is a constant, self-propagating cycle. We start the poverty cycle with a family in poverty. This family in poverty cannot afford to properly educate their children. These children continue their lives with sub-par education, which leads them to make sub-par decisions. They are more likely to choose not to pursue higher education, which then leads them to struggle to find jobs. Their inability to find jobs means they struggle to earn enough money to get out of the poverty threshold. They then start a family, which just continues the cycle of poverty over and over and over again. There is a couple of welfare programs that the government can instill to help alleviate the problem of poverty. Obviously, the easiest way to get people out of poverty is to simply provide them w...
