I paid $1000 for books my first semester of college back in 2007. I felt so burnt and violated I never bought another textbook. I made it through the rest of undergrad, a masters, and a PhD in biochemistry by checking out books from the library, borrowing textbooks from friends, and going sailing. When I taught I made it a point to teach my students about all the ways they can avoid becoming a victim like myself.
What could you have possibly learned from sailing though?
There's a lot to be learned at sea, lad.
The only sea I sail is the digital sea
I can't tell if you actually are confused or not, so I'll just answer as if you are: the original poster WAS alluding to pirate-actions.
Somalian pirate actions?
Well I'm sure Somalian pirates are capable of pirating in many ways, maybe even simultaneously! Why limit yourself you know?
I was actually confused, I just woke up D:
No worries, happens to me too!
As an aside, at least for me, that first thought that pops into my head when I am trying to understand or interpret something, can be so silly and strange and outside the box, I will legitimately laugh at myself sometimes because of it.
And if it makes you feel better, my first thought reading it was actual sailing too, but only for a moment as I added more context to it. Not sure why I would think of real sailing considering where we are posting but something in the way it was written lends to it.
Good XD! I also laughed at myself when I found out D:
It was SO smooth I literally just thought "Ah must be nice having a boat to go clear one's head on the waves once in a while since you're not hustling to pay for all them textbooks."
Whooshed me like a salty breeze, it did. XD
Lol! Dang rich kids and their rich kid problems!
Which you should not feel bad about. Pirates are in the right. IP law is fucked and you are just surviving in this mess.
Very true
