At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

yourunderwaterskies

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising

dragongirlteeth

I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.

If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but…

1) The customer is always wrong

2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

Learn from him and make everything worse. Gamers are idiots and you should never listen to them

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

It hasn't and never will occur to liberals that you can turn off the baby murdering machine. It simply doesn't exist in the framework of their worldview. To liberals, the entire world is composed of trolley problem-esque situations where the usamerican empire is forever taken for granted and whichever mental gymnastics they need to continue to take it for granted are baked in to every calculus. If the option doesn't exist within the confines of their constructed ideological walls (e.g., voting, elections, liberal democratic rituals) then they will never consider it whatsoever.
