I ignore those types of notices.

The American public school system as it currently exists is largely a joke.

Made me think of something that Brett Easton Ellis would write.

I smoked for a decade and have been quit for 19 years.

It’s not you. If I’m at a RESTAURANT and can’t hear my friends, I leave. I won’t spend money at a place I have to yell to be heard (unless there’s a band I specifically want to see or I’m at a bar, but even bars have limits).

I had to buy a Clicker for college in a day when any number of phone apps, or even the Smart board, would have done exactly the same thing. I think it cost about $150 and the only thing it did – THE ONLY THING IT DID – was serve as an expensive and drastically crippled version of Kahoot. Abject waste of money for all parties involved.

Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?

I’d go with Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I’ve only seen it once so far, and the unfolding of the story was such that you had to work for it. It wasn’t impenetrably dense, but I definitely had to give it the attention it demanded.
