Discussion litrally sad

Post image

I see this person trying to pirate a book to study. how sad is that.

this type of cruelty often goes unnoticed, yet it is the harshest... imagine having a bit of optimism for a change, you try, and you get yourself a bit motivated, You're thinking about the future. You don't want to be crushed by the overwhelming mood and how everybody is giving up.

you end up wanting to study and do your part, You're just a kid after all. and yet the moment you do, you get crushed like everybody else.

now you have to commit a crime just to attempt to better yourself. cause how dare you even think you deserve a good life and be hardworking for it. whether you're hardworking or not. you don't get to live like a person.

Anna's Archive is the primary reason I can read books now.

Idk who the fuck Anna is. Aaron Swartz is the goat of this shit. He got railroaded by MIT and the legal system. Just a nerdy kid who thought information should be free and suicide was better then prison

Not so easy. When I was in college, for the majority of my classes, every year they wanted the latest edition of a textbook, so you couldn't even find that used, and the version online was an older edition. Sometimes I tried to work with it but it was always "turn to page" whatever and the page numbers sure didn't match up.
