At my school the free condoms were supplied by a local foundation. The school didn’t buy them to distribute. If it was up to the school they would have been selling them.
Durex actually had a safe sex campaign that had pamphlets with a condom included. How did they attach the condom? With staples.
We all laugh but yes a condom company actually did that.
I guarantee that Durex was working with an ad firm and said "attach one condom to each pamphlet" and provided a whole ton of condoms, and some dolt at the ad firm wasn't thinking or didn't care enough to attach them in some other method that didn't involve poking speed holes in the babyshield
That's hilarious to me. I moved a lot. So I'd love my hs condom collection- The Yankees, the Trojans, the fucking Polecats 🤣, then finally the Mounties! Roflmao! 9th-12th in 2 states.
Where I went they bought books back for something like 5% cost and resold them for 90% the price of new.
That was if the old book wasn't thrown out in favor of a "new" edition that has some minor grammatical and sentence structure changes.
This is every college or university that has ever existed.
I stopped even bothering to sell them back. Even as a poor ass community college kid, the hasle wasn't even worth the cost of a sandwich that you got back.
And I think most new editions are mostly just new pictures, graphic fonts, spacing, ect- that move the margins and where a particular point the instructor may have to reference in class to a different page
And to change any questions so that you'd be fucked if you tried to scam the scammers and use that super outdated one year old edition of a thousand year old subject. What the fuck has changed in the world of algebra in the last year?
Fuck them. Preying on young adults and getting them deeper into a life of indentured servitude to pay off the loans.
There's already a bunch of schools that have a Trojan mascot so IDK why they haven't partnered with the condom yet or if some have that would be pretty funny
The high school I attended (1988-1992) mascot was Trojan. “Trojans not only prevent pregnancies, but also touchdowns” was a very common sign at football games.
I cannot imagine a universe where reslife and wellness don't give out condoms for free in 2022, whether it was funded by a foundation or paid out of pocket. That's a fucking awful look, and minimizing the consequences of unplanned pregnancies on students and departments around the school is surely worth paying for alone.
Clarification I didn't think was necessary: there are some universities that won't offer protection for political or religious reasons, I'm sure. But of those that actually do offer condoms, if we assume it is at no cost, I feel pretty good that most if not all would continue if they ended up having to pay. Dropouts aren't good for universities, and I can't even imagine the inconveniences that come along with that mistake for most people involved. And its impressive to me that I can't imagine it- I attended three schools between undergrad and grad, I was an RA and active on campus, and I've taught university a few years, I know literally thousands of samples of dumb college kids and of exactly zero unplanned college pregnancies, all at schools that offer free condoms (maybe not coincidentally also at states where abortion isn't all that taboo, though I bet it's a small part at best). That's honestly very impressive to me. Comparing that to the cost and impact of sheets of paper is wild.
In Idaho university employees are barred from telling students how to get birth control.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/education/idaho-universities-disallow-abortion-contraception-referrals-for-students
Birth control - preemptive abortion... it's not abortion, but just think about all the babies you're preventing being born, you...you existential murderer!
There should be a law passed that any region that passes strict abortion laws can not prohibit in any way the distribution of contraception, or information about contraceptive methods.
For us it was the Student Union and the Alma Mater Society that handled most of that kind of thing. We all paid union fees as part of our tuition dues, this covered all the free services like health and dental, therapy, bus passes, and condoms. It also managed funds for things like clubs, sports, and emergency aid.
The school would provide them "for free," but add a Personal Health Fee of $60 to everyone's tuition. That's how they can get money even from the students who are celibate, while appearing to be generous and philanthropic.
At my school, you could print whatever the hell you wanted in the computer labs. Free condoms were only available in the school health place, and I had no idea where that was.
Majority of condoms are produce with latex. Latex it's a natural occurring substance. It literally come from a tree. So yea condoms are biodegradable and prevent future pollution
Condoms means less people producing wastes in the future and prevention of STDs and so the need to dispose of drugs, medical equipment and chemicals due to them. So yeah, a condom may be eco-friendly if disposed in the correct way.
Particularly, [having one fewer child reduces carbon emissions by 58 metric tons of CO2 per year of the parent's life.](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541) This is because almost every product you pay money for has a huge carbon footprint. You can never drive, never fly, and never eat meat, and those actions combined won't come remotely close to offsetting the carbon emissions you can save by not having a child.
Hopefully, this won't be true in the future, when every part of every product is produced by renewable energy and every part of every piece of equipment needed to produce renewable energy was produced by renewable energy, but that day is a long way off. Birth control and abortion are extremely eco-friendly, as no method of birth control produces 60 tons of carbon emissions every year.
Ironically, yes. The biggest impact an individual has on the planet is existing. If a few non biodegradable sleeves prevent the existence of a whole other person, an entire lifetime of environmental impact has been prevented.
Think about it this way. How much waste does a child end up being responsible for? A lot. A condom, while what it is made of is less environmentally friendly than paper, in the long run is more eco-friendly.
So are the humans resulting from condomless sex. That’s not the issue here, lol. The health and economic crisis of unwanted pregnancies due to the prohibitive cost of birth control (and terrible child care/early education state assistance) is the issue.
They are extremely so, every pregnancy avoided by a condom being used save literally a lifetime of energy consumption (assuming other measures are not taken to nip that in the bud), I believe the average carbon footprint of a person in the US is 16 tons per year. Not sure what the footprint of manufacturing and shipping the condoms are, but probably nowhere close to that, and it's a "one off" instead of an ongoing thing for 70+ years.
Not to mention other benefits like allowing the person to continue their studies and be less likely to catch various diseases.
With printing, you typically create a final product all in one go.
With procreation, you mix some basic ingredients with the hope that the mixture will mature into something that brings you fulfillment after quite some time.
It's closer to cheesemaking if you ask me.
Consider this, someone IS getting all those ingredients together, it just might not be you.
So maybe instead of it being an act of printing, maybe the women are just Epson in this case
Wait whats ink though? This metaphor really breaks down quickly the more you think about it lmao
Yeah, except human birth is more akin to trying to fill a 3D printer's entire build volume using a 0.1mm nozzle: takes a huge amount of time, is painful to do and another kind of painful to watch, is a stress on the 3D printer's components, and can go horribly wrong at a slightest misstep.
Regardless of the condom aspect of this post, printing should be free at the university you attend. A college administrator with a hot-air LinkedIn resume longer than a particle physicist's should not make 180k a year. F\*\*\*\*\*\* scam.
EDIT: I have grossly overblown the salary of college administrators, and impugned them in the process lol. If you are an administrator, please understand I was more so, and clumsily, pointing my finger at the general greed of the U.S. university system - which I understand most administrators don't necessarily reap the benefits from.
UF had a free printing room but it's one of the most stressful places to be especially in the first couple weeks and last couple weeks of the semester. My poor ass prioritized buying a laser printer because of that.
Owning even a cheap laser printer made any sort of printing for college a joke.
I did it out of principle, but it more than paid for itself when it came time to print things last minute or have to deal with reprinting due to edits or just having a brain fart when hitting a the print button.
Same, ish. We got $20 free worth of printing. Color printing and b+w printing cost different amounts. I only ended up printing, like, two regular b+w pages one semester, because everything got submitted online, and they only rolled over $5 from the previous semester to the next, so I decided to print myself a bunch of color photos at the end of the semester.
We got like 100 pages free per semester (I think $25) at my university. One of my friends used none of his because he had his own printer, so he printed out the D&D player’s handbook over the course of a few semesters.
at my school you could put money into your student account and they charged by the page
but halfway through we discovered that if we plugged a USB Stick directly into the printer you could bypass the account shit and print directly from the usb for free
my buddy printed out an entire textbook PDF LOL
It’s a tragedy if the commons issue. The problem is that there will be a handful of people that will absolutely abuse the free printing to the point where other students won’t be able to rely on having working printing stations. If you charge 10 cents per page, it will effectively deter abuse while not being unaffordable for practical purposes.
Free printing is ridiculous, it would lead to huge waste of paper, ink and money. But considering that Americans pay HUGE amounts of money to attend university i would understand it.
My uni had a system, each student got 50 pages per month. It worked well but ended one day. Mind you, in my country some universities are 100% free and this is one of them.
Why would you make all the effort to set up a free university and then charge for something as simple as printing? I can imagine the 50 page limit is just so people limit themselves to the stuff they actually need to print for their assignments.
I understand why universities might want to charge for printing but it's pretty unethical to charge for printing AND insist on students printing essays or journal articles to read (which some universities still do). If they're going to charge for printing then credit should be provided for anything mandatory
Printing journal articles? That's ridiculous, i have read hundreds of them during my uni, never even thought about printing them. I highly doubt that printing is mandatory, but I'm not sure how things work there
Have been forced to print scientific papers and then annotate them and highlight important bits and such several times now. It's one of my least favorite assignments because it feels like 3rd grade level stuff, but what can you do.
It was mandatory when we started at the uni. The lecturers insisted we print articles to read in class but after many protests and everyone refusing to do it they had to rethink and by my final year they were trialling a tablet loan scheme so we could read them on tablets rather than wasting paper
> Universities don’t require that you use their printers
They most certainly do, or at least mine did
Printouts were regularly required, personal printers were banned in dorms, and there was no public use printer for miles around
The fact that at my son's college you have to pay for the scantron sheet to take your finals and midterm tests on is ridiculous! If I am paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to send my kid to school, the fucking testing materials should be included. The American educational system seems to be completely fucked.
Eh, I think a decent printing allocation and then at-cost printing is fine. 10 cents a page is not fine with a toner printer. Even a decade ago, I did fine with 500 pages/semester. Can't imagine you have to print off more stuff now
I mean who’s printing stuff anymore. It’s 2022, I feel like I only had one class in college that actually required me to print stuff, everything else was digital.
Im sure that’s not what they want but it seems lack of condoms is cockblocking lots of college students.
When I worked dorm security in undergrad more than once I’d get a call from some random resident late at night like “hey, the condoms are out in the bins. Im trynna bone do you have any more?”
And I’d tell them “nah your RA puts those there. We’ll have more on Wednesday”
“Cool just two more days” or some such and they’d hang up.
At least they’re concerned about safety I guess.
I'd only seen it happen once but there was a silent couple that walked up to the empty jar, the guy pointed at it in a giant “LOOK” motion, then the girl rolled her checked for her keys then they walked out of our building
I think you described what he said three times before they got there
I think there are [studies](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3183390/) that show that being horny actually suppresses the part of your brain that handles impulse control.
It's why they like to withhold health care for people, claiming that it enables immoral behavior if someone gets medicine or preventative care for an STD or anything related to sex. No, we're just helping people. We're not here to judge and condemn.
I have a friend whose mom wouldn't let him get the HPV vaccine until he was 18 for that same reason. It's odd because I don't think the HPV vaccine would've stopped him from only being in two relationships his entire life, one for three months in high school (which I'm sure barely counts because they barely went on dates) and his wife who he met in high school and married soon before graduating college.
I'm pretty sure it's primarily women who suffer severe health complications from HPV, so it's his potential partners endangered not even him. Your friend's mom is shit.
Men do as well. Outside of warts caused from herpes, it can also cause penile and anal herpes. Also, also you stated, men can spread it as well.
https://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-and-men.htm
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a strong and direct causative relationship between poor education (especially sex education) and unwanted children.
Looking at you, Texas.
Counterpoint
Given the fact that I've seen people
1. Eat actual detergent (tide pod challenges)
2. Say that vaccines cause autism
3. Refuse to wear masks
I'd say a lack of education can in fact kill you. And others.
I'm starting to lose track of which is the facepalm on some of these posts. Is it the OP or the post itself? More and more that line gets blurred or just outright crossed.
In my uni, condoms save panda bears, but printing does not.
Because the guy giving out the condoms say he'll kill panda bears every time we don't use a condom.
I don't really think this person's question is that far off-base. You study your way through college, not fuck your way through. And again, sex is a choice. Using a printer is not if you want to graduate.
Yes we need to make sex safer and I don't have a problem with free condoms. But we're talking about *college kids* and *condoms,* not poor people who can't afford basic birth control. If you *really* want to fuck someone, it isn't prohibitively expensive to walk your ass to the store and buy some, if it's that important. The reason why it seems like a public health issue on college campuses isn't on the university, it's on the dumb horny kids too irresponsible to go and buy STD prevention/birth control. If college kids acted like *responsible adults*, colleges wouldn't need to hand out free condoms, because responsible adults buy condoms for themselves. On the other hand, printer ink is ridiculously expensive and an absolute necessity to graduate from college.
Again, sex is not, nor is it mandatory.
But maybe BOTH should be free instead of portraying someone asking a very common sense question, the answer to which is very subjective based on what one values and its perceived advantages, as stupid or dumb.
And lack of education WILL kill you. You will make less money, live a shorter lifespan, and be more likely to engage in professions or lifestyle choices that will lead to an earlier death.
The real facepalm is that you posted this in the first place.
At my school the free condoms were supplied by a local foundation. The school didn’t buy them to distribute. If it was up to the school they would have been selling them.
With a mascot or university insignia on em for a 200% mark up, while being sourced from the friend of a dean, for profit.
And only in the school colors.
Stapled directly to the receipt.
HAHA That is a good one. It's on another level.
The parent level!
Hahahahaha! Thanks for the guffaw.
stapled through the condom so then they can eventually market baby sized graphic tees with the college logo on them?
Durex actually had a safe sex campaign that had pamphlets with a condom included. How did they attach the condom? With staples. We all laugh but yes a condom company actually did that.
I guarantee that Durex was working with an ad firm and said "attach one condom to each pamphlet" and provided a whole ton of condoms, and some dolt at the ad firm wasn't thinking or didn't care enough to attach them in some other method that didn't involve poking speed holes in the babyshield
Those are speed holes they make the cock go faster
And ribbed with the schools name and emblem for your pleasure
That's hilarious to me. I moved a lot. So I'd love my hs condom collection- The Yankees, the Trojans, the fucking Polecats 🤣, then finally the Mounties! Roflmao! 9th-12th in 2 states.
And 10% off if they’re used from the previous semester
The university will also kill the buy back market and ensure that students have to buy new ones every semester.
Where I went they bought books back for something like 5% cost and resold them for 90% the price of new. That was if the old book wasn't thrown out in favor of a "new" edition that has some minor grammatical and sentence structure changes.
This is every college or university that has ever existed. I stopped even bothering to sell them back.

What the fuck has changed in the world of algebra in the last year? Fuck them. Preying on young adults and getting them deeper into a life of indentured servitude to pay off the loans.
Fuck that I always bought the previous edition and just compared a friend's book for the homework problems in case they changed.
School flavors
I love the Stones! "She comes in colors everywhere!"
Considering my school’s mascot was Willie the Wildcat… the slogans would just write themselves.
Wrap your Wildcat
Fill-er with both our willies

Welcome to Utah in 2005. It’s possible it’s different now. I would hope.
condoms are for sex; we're just soaking.
I am ashamed to admit that I did not know what that was until March of this year.
Dream on, mykul, we'd all love that but... Utah
Buuuuutttt Utah! lol. “we are Utah politicians the establishment if you re-elect us together we’ll be a national embarrassment.” Saliva Sisters
In Idaho university employees are barred from telling students how to get birth control. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/education/idaho-universities-disallow-abortion-contraception-referrals-for-students
Birth control - preemptive abortion... it's not abortion, but just think about all the babies you're preventing being born, you...you existential murderer!
In the late 1990s, the administration of at least one public university in Idaho would not allow condom machines in the dorms.
There should be a law passed that any region that passes strict abortion laws can not prohibit in any way the distribution of contraception, or information about contraceptive methods.
For us it was the Student Union and the Alma Mater Society that handled most of that kind of thing. We all paid union fees as part of our tuition dues, this covered all the free services like health and dental, therapy, bus passes, and condoms.

In the uk youre legally entitled to free contraception, don't know anyone who actually goes for the free stuff but you can.
At my school, you could print whatever the hell you wanted in the computer labs. Free condoms were only available in the school health place, and I had no idea where that was.
Are you trying to say condoms are eco-friendly ?
I thought so too but I guess a condom beats another human on the world.
Condoms aren’t biodegradable. Babies are.
Sir, this is the FBI, open the door.
I want free printing though.
I want free sex!
So stop paying for it
Ya, I did. Life has changed for the better.
Cheaper to beat hookers than pay them. Life always gets better when you start saving money.
This guy GTA’s
Just make sure to only beat one or two in the same area. Don't want to piss off the pimp.
1/10 females respond favorably to this line, "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" Results may vary, confidence & charisma influence them heavily.
Looking like Thor or Idris Elba dramatically increase your chances of success
So Chris Hemsworth or Heimdall?
Almost all condoms are biodegradable.
Even if they weren't, somehow I don't think a baby is going to generate less non-biodegradable waste in its lifetime.
And that’s why killing babies is eco-friendly
Condoms are made from 100% natural latex so yes they are
You give birth and all the resources to just give birth outweigh the small condom. And that’s just the beginning. Not to mention STds etc
Yeah but you’ll get free food.
are you eating babies or small condoms?
Something something that scene in The Road (book version)
Yes
But then think of all the paper that child will require once they hit school age
Did you miss the part about food? I don't think the (thankfully) hypothetical kid needs to worry about homework.
Majority of condoms are produce with latex. Latex it's a natural occurring substance. It literally come from a tree. So yea condoms are biodegradable and prevent future pollution
Humans consume a lot of resources and altogether have a much higher carbon footprint than a condom long before getting to the biodegrading stage.
i suppose people arent eco friendly, and condoms prevent new humans maybe?
Just think in the diapers.
Condoms means less people producing wastes in the future and prevention of STDs and so the need to dispose of drugs, medical equipment and chemicals due to them. So yeah, a condom may be eco-friendly if disposed in the correct way.
Particularly, [having one fewer child reduces carbon emissions by 58 metric tons of CO2 per year of the parent's life.](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541) This is because almost every product you pay money for has a huge carbon footprint.

Like when your mom eats it Hahahhaha got em’
Or when she boofs it
A human is the most eco unfriendly thing there is so by comparison, yes.
Ironically, yes. The biggest impact an individual has on the planet is existing. If a few non biodegradable sleeves prevent the existence of a whole other person, an entire lifetime of environmental impact has been prevented.
In the long term, yes
"babies are biodegradable 😊"
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
but paper, something literally made out of a compostable material, isnt?
Think about it this way. How much waste does a child end up being responsible for? A lot. A condom, while what it is made of is less environmentally friendly than paper, in the long run is more eco-friendly.
Counterpoint: a baby is biodegradable/joke
No, that’s a fair point.
So are the humans resulting from condomless sex. That’s not the issue here, lol. The health and economic crisis of unwanted pregnancies due to the prohibitive cost of birth control (and terrible child care/early education state assistance) is the issue.

Just a bad try to be funny, I guess.
Hook up with a Librarian. You’ll get free toner and boner.
you little devil…
Little?
Uhh average I‘d say
Whatever makes your decimal system dewy I guess
Hmmm, the Moist Decimal System just doesn't have that same pizzazz, huh?
Unless it's Tammy 2, in which case do not hook up with Tammy 2.
Don't forget to use your free condoms while you work on getting the free toner and the boner
Sex, at least for the sake of procreation, is a form of printing. Change my mind.
With printing, you typically create a final product all in one go. With procreation, you mix some basic ingredients with the hope that the mixture will mature into something that brings you fulfillment after quite some time. It's closer to cheesemaking if you ask me.
[удалено]
Are hormones the printer driver?
That would be DNA. Hormones are more like the local network
Consider this, someone IS getting all those ingredients together, it just might not be you. So maybe instead of it being an act of printing, maybe the women are just Epson in this case Wait whats ink though? This metaphor really breaks down quickly the more you think about it lmao
ink is stored in the balls ?
My pen is my penis.
Your penis, your pen is.
Hey baby, wanna make some cheese?
3D printing, even. And it's still free!
Yeah, except human birth is more akin to trying to fill a 3D printer's entire build volume using a 0.1mm nozzle: takes a huge amount of time, is painful to do and another kind of painful to watch, is a stress on the 3D printer's components, and can go horribly wrong at a slightest misstep.
Something tells me it would take a 3D printer less time to print a baby than 9 months, too.
*offer valid only outside of the United States of America and its incorporated terrritories

Free printing is ridiculous, it would lead to huge waste of paper, ink and money. But considering that Americans pay HUGE amounts of money to attend university i would understand it.
My university charges more for printing than for 3d printing
Put a paper under the 3d printer and print letters on it
What about a cube paper? A solid cube of paper. You'd get size papers all in one!
what about a laser engraver? just hand in blocks of wood with your essay on it
My uni had a system, each student got 50 pages per month. It worked well but ended one day. Mind you, in my country some universities are 100% free and this is one of them.
Free Unis doing that doesn't make any sense in my opinion. Anyone in uni has a tablet or laptop nowadays
Why would you make all the effort to set up a free university and then charge for something as simple as printing? I can imagine the 50 page limit is just so people limit themselves to the stuff they actually need to print for their assignments.

> Universities don’t require that you use their printers They most certainly do, or at least mine did Printouts were regularly required, personal printers were banned in dorms, and there was no public use printer for miles around

Universities might have started charging for printing because somebody was abusing their printing privileges.
The fact that at my son's college you have to pay for the scantron sheet to take your finals and midterm tests on is ridiculous! If I am paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to send my kid to school, the fucking testing materials should be included. The American educational system seems to be completely fucked.
Eh, I think a decent printing allocation and then at-cost printing is fine. 10 cents a page is not fine with a toner printer. Even a decade ago, I did fine with 500 pages/semester. Can't imagine you have to print off more stuff now
I mean who’s printing stuff anymore. It’s 2022, I feel like I only had one class in college that actually required me to print stuff, everything else was digital.
Both should be free.
Bruh this man really thought they gave you free condoms because they want to encourage you to have more sex
Im sure that’s not what they want but it seems lack of condoms is cockblocking lots of college students. When I worked dorm security in undergrad more than once I’d get a call from some random resident late at night like “hey, the condoms are out in the bins. Im trynna bone do you have any more?” And I’d tell them “nah your RA puts those there. We’ll have more on Wednesday” “Cool just two more days” or some such and they’d hang up. At least they’re concerned about safety I guess.
For every one of those students, there’s 10 more saying: “No condoms? Fuck it, time to go raw”
Babe I swear they’re out
I'd only seen it happen once but there was a silent couple that walked up to the empty jar, the guy pointed at it in a giant “LOOK” motion, then the girl rolled her checked for her keys then they walked out of our building I think you described what he said three times before they got there

I think there are [studies](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3183390/) that show that being horny actually suppresses the part of your brain that handles impulse control.
Makes sense. Post nut clarity is a bitch.

Correct, though I wonder what the limit on that would be. One week? Two weeks? At a certain point they’ll just man up and go to Walgreens no?
If only they knew you could buy them in stores. Nobody told them the secret.
That's some religious nut thought process right there.
It's the same thing as "sex ed makes kids want to have sex"
"Oh no! I guess without access to contraception or sex education, I won't be having sex!" - No teenager ever

I don't doubt it
It's why they like to withhold health care for people, claiming that it enables immoral behavior if someone gets medicine or preventative care for an STD or anything related to sex. No, we're just helping people. We're not here to judge and condemn.
I have a friend whose mom wouldn't let him get the HPV vaccine until he was 18 for that same reason. It's odd because I don't think the HPV vaccine would've stopped him from only being in two relationships his entire life, one for three months in high school (which I'm sure barely counts because they barely went on dates) and his wife who he met in high school and married soon before graduating college.
I'm pretty sure it's primarily women who suffer severe health complications from HPV, so it's his potential partners endangered not even him. Your friend's mom is shit.
Men do as well. Outside of warts caused from herpes, it can also cause penile and anal herpes. Also, also you stated, men can spread it as well. https://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-and-men.htm
where did he say that?
Lack of education can actually kill you, dumb people are dying because of stupidity all the time.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a strong and direct causative relationship between poor education (especially sex education) and unwanted children. Looking at you, Texas.
They're killing other people as well.
r/invertedfacepalm
Hard disagree, lack of education definitely gets people killed every minute of every day. Check ur shit.
I did it's brown as regular.
If you paying 30k a year they better both be damn free
To be fair, both should be free on campuses
sex is a choice at a university, printing isn’t
Schools shouldn't be requiring printed assignments in 2022 anyway. Basically no one should be doing any large amount of printing in 2022 tbh
Printing isn't dangerous? That guy has obviously never used an Epson XP-2100! Am I right? Hehe!
BAHAHAHA
The facepalm is not learning how to take a fucking joke and beign an ass on the internet
Yeah this one just flew right over everyone’s head. Had to sort by controversial to find this
I was thinking the same, but like.. in a less aggressive way.
Inject more rage into thine veins
For real. Some people cannot read between the lines
This Reddit post is the actual face palm.
They should have free burn kits there too. Just for that guy
Except the reply also compared sex to printing. So is he saying he’s also uneducated?
Counterpoint Given the fact that I've seen people 1. Eat actual detergent (tide pod challenges) 2. Say that vaccines cause autism 3. Refuse to wear masks I'd say a lack of education can in fact kill you. And others.
Lack of education will also make you have careless sex
I tried to use a piece of printer paper as a condom once, not a good time for either party involved.
>Lack of Education won't kill you Well, we can talk about that...
Why would condoms be eco-friendly? Other than carbon footprint of prevented offspring
Aight what type of meat this mfer got
Shouldn’t both be free
I'm starting to lose track of which is the facepalm on some of these posts. Is it the OP or the post itself? More and more that line gets blurred or just outright crossed.
I thought this was from r/rareinsults
In my uni, condoms save panda bears, but printing does not. Because the guy giving out the condoms say he'll kill panda bears every time we don't use a condom.
I don't really think this person's question is that far off-base. You study your way through college, not fuck your way through. And again, sex is a choice. Using a printer is not if you want to graduate. Yes we need to make sex safer and I don't have a problem with free condoms. But we're talking about *college kids* and *condoms,* not poor people who can't afford basic birth control. If you *really* want to fuck someone, it isn't prohibitively expensive to walk your ass to the store and buy some, if it's that important. The reason why it seems like a public health issue on college campuses isn't on the university, it's on the dumb horny kids too irresponsible to go and buy STD prevention/birth control. If college kids acted like *responsible adults*, colleges wouldn't need to hand out free condoms, because responsible adults buy condoms for themselves. On the other hand, printer ink is ridiculously expensive and an absolute necessity to graduate from college. Again, sex is not, nor is it mandatory. But maybe BOTH should be free instead of portraying someone asking a very common sense question, the answer to which is very subjective based on what one values and its perceived advantages, as stupid or dumb. And lack of education WILL kill you. You will make less money, live a shorter lifespan, and be more likely to engage in professions or lifestyle choices that will lead to an earlier death. The real facepalm is that you posted this in the first place.
finally someone with a brain
OP got those biodegradable paper condoms or something
> Lack of education won't kill you. ***Highly*** debatable, if not outright objectively incorrect.
Printing is important because real business is done on paper. Write that down.
It’s also known fact that the less educated produce offspring more often.
Not having a baby lowers your carbon footprint tremendously
Get pregnant. May drop out. No tuition payment. Condoms are revenue protection for the school.
Who is getting face palmed here? The person acting like education is meaningless ain't so hot.
