      Copy and print shop, basically a store that just sold access to a big office printer with the ability to scan/copy and fax. It was a little mom and pop one that was located next to the university. They had deals with a couple of the sketchier professors who had their own little shelves that they would sell overpriced class supplies and expensive prints of their required readings.

        Oh, lol, I misread.

        But, yea, super sketchy. Note that I’ve had my professor texts before but those books were actually published by someone reputable and are otherwise important in the field.

          Yeah his book was basically a giant rant claiming that slavery had nothing to do with the civil war, and it had been copied from copies so often that it was barely legible.

                Anyone pushing racist evaluations of our history isn’t with any sort of respect.

                I don’t respect my president for getting away from taking people, I adminish him on those grounds.

                  Oh, I don’t mean his actual beliefs. Just that the scams that him and other professors were running back in the day were impressively technical about being unethical but technically allowed.
