As an employee at a school in the UNC system, Chapel Hill is just one school in the entire UNC system. It’s UNC-CH you lazy freaking reporters. There are 16 others and as much as Chapel Hill likes to think they’re special, they aren’t.
I do work for a university in the system (24 years) and graduated from the same university so I have been with this school for over 35 years. Notice in the wiki article it says University of North Carolina is the entire system, not just the one school. Chapel Hill likes to think they’re an elite private school like Duke, their main sports rival. They’re a state school like the rest of us. But they are the oldest and most recognizable mainly due to their sports program.
I never understood the move to synchronous communication for asynchronous questions. The ephemeral nature of discord is really a PITA. It’s like using IRC for a FAQ.
I keep reading articles like this. Between rent being too expensive, home prices going through the roof, food prices outpacing wage growth, car and home insurance going up just because it can, utilities getting more expensive, my question is when does it just become too much. The whole thing just screams corporate greed and I’m getting sick of it. I make 60% more than I did 20 years ago and I feel like I’m barely scraping by.
It was a cool visual but I have to admit it felt wrong destroying all of the stuff for a cool visual. The iPad will never replace real world experiences. It can help produce art and music but real world objects can never be replaced by digital replicated ones. Using real paint, playing a real instrument, or playing an original arcade game is just not the same on an iPad. I love technology but certain thing can just not be replicated.
I make way more than I did in my 30s (53 now) but I feel way poorer. Of course my mortgage payment is more than 3x what it was back then … that might be a reason.
If I lived in someplace like Silicon Valley California and making what I make I’d be homeless. Someplaces are better than others. But the system is definitely rigged for sure.
