I naively applied to only one university, a private institution that I was accepted into surprisingly enough. The downside being that it was absurdly expensive, and I only realized halfway through my first year there that my loan payments were going to be impossible to make. I did have a plan originally, but it was contingent on academic excellence that was probably unrealistic.

I've never been happier I dropped out of my CS classes

I'm surprised Intel hasn't gotten into the planned obsolescence game yet. If your CPU goes out, the easiest, cheapest solution is always a drop-in replacement. Not like you can easily switch to a different brand. Just par for the course for the race to the bottom.

They're being paid minimum wage. It's not a great job.

Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working in the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

But what if the ghost messed up their dance move and now they think you're just taunting them? Do you really want to risk pissing off the ghost?

Thought Slime goes by Mildred.....

But they're kind of self-aware, so I think it's supposed to make them more off-putting.

The other article I linked here in the comments says they've heard rumors it was a DDoS attack. Nothing about potential links, but I have seen the PlayStation thing all over social media posts about it.

Fun fact: Redbox is operated by Chicken Soup for the Soul. I almost got hired by them but they screwed me over after I had already resigned from my previous position.
