So communicate with your other self, in a Universe where you chose to go a different college that changed your other life dramatically.

Yo, lol. You're triggering me lol. That's basically like exactly what I'm trying to do. Are you doing that thing that I was trying to warn the other person about regarding giving too much of themselves away, lol? Because I'd be amazed if AI was able to pick up on that, lol.

I'm pretty sure that no matter which college I went to would have resulted in the same consequence, lol.

It was 1995. If you had an SAT score of over 1200 and a GPA of over 3.0, you were guaranteed a position at any of the CSUs. And I lived in California.

So what else do you do? Throw a dart at the map. That's your future.

You could go anywhere.

Except as far as your parents could afford.

Isn't that the subtext?

...And it comes back to Capitalism.

I didn't mean it to, to be honest. In fact, it's sort of embarrassing.

Is there some other universe that this doesn't happen in?

Because I don't have any money.
