Is it actually possible to complain about tasks like these 🙏 🙏 🙏

Math is for cowards.

Since the 11th, I've been attending...

I'm a high school senior...

Yesterday, I went to...

😳

Honestly, I’d say kids just view the material way too abstractly, so when they hit a basic task—like one about fuel prices or a stadium—they have absolutely no clue where to even start.

Why even bother stressing out when I can just pour myself a $33 🤷
?

🤣 I sat for the advanced placement exams, and frankly, I had absolutely no clue what this specific task was even about—despite all the massive hype surrounding it. It’s a total joke, honestly. It’s no wonder people blindly follow guys like [[REDACTED]] and his crowd when this is the level of intellect we're dealing with; if this is our future leadership, we're all in trouble. By the way, based on the sheer amount of drama being kicked up, you'd think the problem was asking us to split an atom or something equally insane. 🙏

It’s all nonsense. They even hand them formulas where everything is spelled out, even though you don't actually need them if you have even a shred of logical reasoning. Three years ago, I took the B-level exam because I didn't feel like sweating the A-level. I finished in 20 minutes and got a 100% without any studying. Mind you, I was a prep school kid ☕. It’s more about general intelligence than some specific test
.

Apparently, students are considered a massive financial burden on this country. So, they try to cut down student numbers this way. Clearly, those choosing majors like economics or law are seen as "excess" since they aren't considered "essential" enough to justify the cost of schooling them.

Man, seriously? We should probably slash economics enrollment by ten times then! And what, send everyone who wants to study there to some random training course instead? If you can't solve a basic problem like this, you have no business being in an economics program anyway.

It was a long time ago that my wise neighbor told me gas price hikes are nothing but a scam, and honestly, everyone is just paying through the $33 ☕

Now there’s even a "STOP the Harassment of High School Grads" page popping up on Facebook. 🙏

The whole "the more you pour in, the less you spend" logic $33 is just something people say when they don't have a clue what's going on. ☕

I’m pushing right to the limit, until the moment the dream starts leaking out...

I’ll film it and get out of there. ☕

Why shouldn't you be spending more if the car weighs more? Or is that just an engine thing? My ride runs on burgers and pasta, not fossil fuels.

I don't even have a driver's license. ☕

Actually, there’s a theory out there that suggests the exact opposite—and if I recall correctly, there were even studies conducted to back it up! I remember my old professor lecturing us about this back in the day... quite a fascinating topic, really. 😁

honestly, like two-thirds of my reserves have been rusted out for ages now. we seriously need to get some pro mechanic in here to dive into those tiny crevices and buff everything back to a shine.

But then you look at Google, which claims fuel evaporates faster when the tank is low and that the engine just isn't as efficient overall. That evaporation thing probably only applies to gas engines, though.

If you’re pumping from the $33, you really ought to run the pump five times to get it properly primed; once you’ve filled it up that way, you can just sit back and relax.
Although, I suppose there are those who take things even further—people who go to the $6.75 multiple times a day, claiming they’re only taking twenty gallons when they actually fill up to twenty-one, all while acting like they don't have a single cent to their name.
At five fill-ups, you're basically getting half a liter for free... ☕

Man, I just scoop it all up into the lawnmower and then pump it straight into the car whenever I run dry.

Just let it pour, fill it right up to the brim, and then we’re done...

I can still vividly recall those days when we used to top off the tank for the $100. Not me personally, of course, but still... those were some truly fine times...

Absolute genius 🙏 🙏
