Well well well, would you look at that? I’m back in business. The Cento’s ever-so-kind Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor decided to pay me a visit in my prison cell and pay my bail so I could, quote, “dangle keys in front of our bored readers.” Whatever that means.

Dear Ethicist, I want to attend an event for a club on campus because there will be free food, but I don’t really have any interest in the organization. Apart from the free food, I know I will gain nothing intellectually or recreationally from going. I am almost out of flex dollars and Cowan upsets…
