Today, I thought that an ingenious way to protest against high tuition prices would be to steal a box of soymilk from my university dining hall. The box exploded in my backpack. Not only did I lose all my soymilk, I now have to replace my $120 calculator. FML

Right. Because one form of stealing justifies another petty one. :p At least the university Told you their prices before you went, and you Still made the choice to go. No matter how I look at this, it's still your fault, sorry. ;p

Protesting doesn't have to involve stealing, it's a crime also you just probably wanted the soy milk so you say it's a protest! Karma is a b**** Isn't it!

I understand how stealing could help with your feelings of anger towards your school, but grow up! You're a college student, right? Stealing only helps yourself, its selfish and does not help the situation. Use that anger to do something useful. If you don't like something, try to change it! The only change you're making is making the world a shittier place. A place full of angry bums. Yeah, I get that college costs a lot, and life is unfair. Well way to go, you made it a little less fair than it was to start with. YDI

Actually, part of your tuition (or your dining plan) probably already factors in a certain amount of theft. Stores account for shrinkage in their prices, it makes sense that the cafeteria would too. Especially given that you're not the first person to think of this.

Because stealing milk totally sticks it to the college and lowers tuition costs.. Yup. Makes sense..

It wasn't for no protest. You just wanted that soy milk *LAUGH OUT LOUD*

You're not the tastiest cookie in the box are you?

Probably a TI-84 Plus Silver. Those things aren't cheap.

An what pisses me off is that they don't have to be. They use an ancient zilch z80 processor which is ridiculously expensive and it is only 8-bit. If they implemented an ARM processor, it would not only be less expensive (due to the massive overproduction of these chips) it would also be significantly more powerful. They can even under clock and under volt it for greater efficiently.

You really stuck it to that man with that box of soymilk.
