Just Ask Google....worry about the consequences later

 


"She started college last week, and already she's homesick..."

Well, yeah.  Generally being homesick is an initial emotion when you go away to school or anywhere else for the first time.  It tends to wear off after a while.  So it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to point out that this girl is "already" homesick.  This is still very new for her.

To alleviate homesickness, she wonders how she might make her* dorm room more "homey."  So she asks Google and gets a bunch of great ideas on how to get into heavy credit card debt quickly rather than just giving herself time to get the f--k over it.  Before you know it, she's got the place tripped out in what Google's AI has decided is Southwestern motif.  How much did this cost?  Who cares?  Everyone keeps talking about how great the job market is for college graduates plus I hear there's this loan forgiveness program so no worries, right?

*Is that her roommate walking in at the end?  Was she consulted before all this new stuff was ordered?  Is she into Southwestern Decor?  Or is this just a case of "hey, if you didn't want the place you live in completely redecorated without your input, you shouldn't have gone away for the weekend, especially when you know your roommate is a self-absorbed homebody?"
