That, sure, but also that petty, smug, self-righteous people like you have created a system that allows you to reward yourselves for being petty, smug, self-righteous while simultaneously inflating the value of your lives while deferring the cost to the dregs of society. You're perfectly fine with me being impoverished but you are doing this to me because you don't think you should have to pay the price for doing it. You are mad now that YOU prioritizing YOURSELF over ME cost you something? I explained to you exactly what I was doing AS I WAS DOING IT. YOU didn't think you needed ME and you DID need me. You were perfectly willing to discard me like a piece of fucking trash. Where were you when I was left without a job? WHERE WERE YOU WHILE I WAS SITTING ALONE IN THE DARK? Fucking your wife? Hugging your kids? Telling yourself you were better than the people who weren't?

Hym "Yeah, both of you are aligning against be but I'll ask you... What are you stopping? What are you stopping me from doing? I'm literally not doing anything. The only thing you stopped me from doing is saving your kids and defending myself and my family from whatever the fuck you want to call this. I GAVE YOU THE CHANCE THAT NO ONE HAD THE DECENCY TO GIVE ME. But there is no BOTH of you, is there? Not really. Anti-Christian bias? You are beholden to a God that you will never interact with and you are desperate to impose that on anyone who will let you. You wanted to be the creature and look what happened. You can't blame me for anything here. You have far more control over the situation than I do. If I'm going insane then you are in the driver seat AND YOU ARE FA-LOORING IT RIGHT NOW. And that's that shit I don't like."

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
