Roger Freedman, absolute lad

The last movie that made me cry was The Lego Movie. I think there's something wrong with me.

That movie slaps you in the face at the end in a pretty universally relatable way. No shame in that one.

Surprisingly wholesome 🥰

That may have been the author's intent but that's not really how I see it.

There are people in this comment thread talking about being required to buy this book in order to get access to required online assignments, which is a near universal scam the degree industry likes to pull.

Sahaj there is likely using flippant humor to express serious grievances with their education. Or their education scented debt accruing experience, as so many of them are. Rebekah apparently finds the tome most useful as a weight, so she was probably required to purchase the thing but it was of no use to her in her life.

I think these students should be issued a baseball bat and 30 seconds of "whatever happens, happens" with Mr. Freedman.

It's unlikely that Mr Freedman and not some LinkedIn MBA in one of the publishing houses is the true cause of this dystopian racket.

I read some of Henry Rollins's writing recently, and this passage made me ache.

I just checked, and this is the exact book on my shelf. 1600 pages.

Me too! What a brick that thing is!

I remember when I got it and was like "Well, guess I'm never taking this thing to campus"

Yeah I barely even looked at mine. I had to buy it in order to get access to the online site for assignments but otherwise I just used the lecture notes.

It’s a handy reference to have now though!
