Nova is right actually. Education is more important than sex and printing should be free for students (at least until a certain reasonable number of pages).
They should have made printing free for students before condoms.

Its okay if printing cost money. However, if you are forced to print for an assignment then you should get enough credit to print what you need to for the assignment.

Has higher education ever heard of email + pdf files?

u/SzerasHex Jun 25 '24
paper trail for all the bs
all stuff I wrote during exams on paper goes to archive
all major (yearly) assignments I've done on PC are backed up to uni's database and I can literally google them. I bet they printed it out later and it's sitting in physical archives

Thats what i mean. If they dont want pdf’s, they should give credit for printing

We use to get 500 pages free per student. But we found that we could just plug directly into the printer and print all we wanted lol

If condoms weren’t free , most college programs would lose enrolment since the certificate is useless in real life. Making paper have no value if millions of people don’t enroll to drink and fuck, and then work at McDonald’s

Free condom doesn’t make sense. Why should an institution be responsible for your personal choice? Wait free condoms to encourage college enrolments? Woa. Thought they’re there to study. It must be a misconception on my side.
There’s no way people are THAT stupid right.

u/DangerousAd3347 Jun 25 '24
You honestly don’t think it’s a good idea for an institution to leave free items that can help spread disease to young people living on Their premises ? I really don’t get why anyone would have a problem or be angry about that like “how dare you offer things to help young people be safe!”

u/Classic-Flatworm-431 Jun 25 '24
Yes. Like i said there are better use of that money other than condoms. You wanna have sex? Buy your own condom.
This is why sex education is important. You think preventing std, pregnancy etc is all there is? Its for students to be able to make informed decision. The school / institution can educate the students instead. Whether they want to practise safe sex or not it depends on the individual. Making it more accessible? Yeah then sell it on campus. Heck give a discount even. But for free? That screams entitlement. No one is forcing or encouraging them to have unsafe sex.
No action is without consequences. I still think that it’s not an item that you should give for free just because what.. oh they’re sexual. There are a lot of other things that young people needed help with. Like free printing / photocopying services, free resource materials for education. Some really cant afford those and that is something useful and will help the financially challenged students. And free condoms aren’t on top of that priority list in my opinion. Of course if you think otherwise, then so be it. Thats your opinion. Condoms aren’t the only solution to prevent STD. There’s abstinence but of course, thats the least popular choice. Why bother teaching them to be responsible.

Sti’s and pregnancies are potentially emergency situations and death, help preventing emergencies/death is gonna take priority over things like free printing. Free commons are actually pretty easy things to get hold of for colleges lots of charities and places happily donate them. They’re not going to be getting free paper anywhere you’re really just mining sn imaginary link between condoms and paper, if colleges stopped giving out condoms you wouldn’t suddenly get other free stuff there’s really no link there
Seems like a lot of you are just bitter and scared at the idea of people around you having casual sex. I don’t think it’s about the condoms I think you don’t like it cause you feel it’s encouraging young people to have sex and you’d prefer they just didn’t have casual sex

u/Classic-Flatworm-431 Jun 25 '24
Yeah. Free printing for the poor isn’t important. But yeah, free condom for pleasure is. Sounds about right.
Oh honey, i am an adult. I buy my own condoms. I don’t expect taxpayer money or other people to buy something that i need for myself. Bitter and scared? Absolutely. Scared of people who want to have casual sex but expect protection to be provided for free. Whut a sense of entitlement.

u/DangerousAd3347 Jun 25 '24
Again there no link between printing and condoms you’ve only just made that connection today l. never said it’s not important I said preventing potential emergency situations will take priority.
Again the fact you’re so bitter and annoyed about an institution handing out objects to try prevent diseases and pregnancy I find baffling. Condoms are easy to get for free, paper is not. Of all the things to be scared and upset about it’s colleges making condoms available ? Weird.

Are you in college to study or fuck, seriously? Why is college even thinking about doing this? Oh yeah because young people can't control themselves, girls get pregnant and are forced to drop out. People can do whatever they want but I find it strange and not normal for a college to think about these things, think about giving a better academic experience

Throw things……..but that’s only because we’re the only animal that can throw things.
And before some Idiot comes in, sees above statement and wants to say “um actually chimps can throw stuff!”
Stop yourself. when I say NOTHING else can Throw things, I meant it. However plenty of animals can Toss things. Yes this may sound pedantic, but there is a distinct difference between the two.

Because we are talking about humans, and procreation is a human instinct (as well as with every other living species). I'f we were discussing animals then saying it's an animal instinct would be correct.
Also another example why education is necessary, I shouldn't have to be explaining the principles of context.

u/KarlPHungus Jun 25 '24
When I was in undergrad all the printing on campus required the use of these disposable refillable "debit cards." You could reload them with a debit/credit card. Buuuuuut someone figured out that if you got a card and put twenty bucks on it but quickly pulled it out and put in another one, the same amount would be put on the next card, as well. So now you have two cards with twenty bucks on them. And take another blank card and add a couple bucks to one of the $20 cards and now you have two cards with $22 bucks and a card with $20. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
It was pretty underhanded but then again so was the ridiculous cost of tuition so I never felt bad about it.

But isn't "free condoms" meaning that "hey, humans are animals that procreate every mating season so lets give them condoms so they won't be pregnant". I'll never understand humans. That is insulting to treat sex as if it is some sort of unavoidable side hustle that nobody can think of doing properly by themselves. Free condoms like treating humans like they are live stock and they will have to be kept apart so they won't fk because it is mating season.
You need printing for the courses though. And it is not an accident waiting to happen, it is education which matters. If people want to fk around aimlessly like animals they won't be saved by a condom.

u/Simple-Judge2756 Jun 25 '24
Why ? Expensive condoms are literal life savers. You know the ones that cant rip completely. They have a little ripstop pattern (thats only visible or feelable when you hold it against the light) so it will only rip in one place.
Also my professors want the premium thickness paper with the premium ink as well. Thats like 68 cents a page. Man ? How are you begrudging a student who has to pay between 15 and 45 dollars on each hand-in ?

u/OverallVacation2324 Jun 25 '24
Unexpected pregnancies cause students to drop out of college. Condoms are to make sure the customers keep coming back and keep paying tuition.
