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

[kineticpenguin]

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.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.

I think there was a point (that's long gone) when there was merit in college being paid. When you were being taught by the best of the best an a diploma meant you were knowledgeable in that area.

But nowadays when lectures are just slide-passing and you get the real explanation from a free youtube video, and your professor doesn't care if you can rationalize an answer, only if you can repeat the exact steps they envisioned, and when stupid people graduate everyday in the same ceremony with the smart people, I think it should be free.

And my comment about the stupid people btw is not a diss at "people who aren't as smart" it's a diss at a system that graduates people who don't learn, because the system doesn't care about learning or, even more, about applying what they "teach".

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

Gojo at least try to be subtle

[the-pineapple-talks]

I cannot stop thinking about this and how, to me, it confirms Gojo's feelings.

He's addressing only Utahime as he talks, he even explain that time altering curses are rare, as a way to make her feel better for not knowing.

He fully admits "I thought it was weird, since Mei was with you" not "since Mei was in the mission" but specifically with her, looking after her. These whole two days he had it present in his mind that Utahime should be fine, because Mei was with her.

And then after 2 days of radio silent he was worried, Italy weird that Utahime is not back yet, Mei is with her, so something must have happened. And he was so insistent on going to check, he didn't even put up a curtain.

Yor in Loid’s imagination vs. the other way

Yor acting cutesy in Loid’s imagination:

(she hasn’t ever called him “Loi-Loi” even when drunk!)

vs. Loid in Yor’s imagination:

… tired dad 🤣

[the-pineapple-talks]

Man's just so head over heels. She imagines him as tired he imagines her as cute. But nevermind, thinks she's cute for the sake of the mission. Ffs

Not sure got to feel when the hobby book says this should only take an hour but it took me 5 hours.

[gallusrostromegalus]

1. Hobby books are often written by the same people who think you can caramelize onions in 5 minutes

2. Hobby books are even more often written by people who don't have or are actively neglecting their partners/full-time jobs/pets/children/household maintenance.

3. Hobby books are often written by people with ADHD, and an hour in ADHD hyperspace is like 2-7 hours for everyone else, including other ADHD people who are not currently in the zone.

4. Hobby books are written by people who, when told by an editor to add in how long it will take, just make shit up

5. If you're doing something for the first time, you're going to take way, way longer to do it than someone who's had years of practice. Maybe it does only take an hour IF YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR TEN YEARS. Think about how long it took you to make idk your first excel spreadsheet vs how long it takes now

To actually answer your question: proud. You should feel proud, because you made something, AND you did so while learning a brand-new skill! Go you!!

May I ask what the Allegedly-One-Hour project was? Both because I like hearing about what my friends are doing and I want to see how wildly inaccurate the listed time scope is.

Where are you running to, anyway?

Insomnia implies the existence of an outsomnia where you have a hard time staying awake

I have outsomnia during the day and insomnia during the night

And just before I fall asleep at the end of the day, I'll think "I will do better tomorrow"

I first went to Japan in 2023, I remember all major cities were full of two things: JJk and Spy x Family. New seasons of each were coming out at the time and there were ads and merch everywhere. I was a JJK fan (still am), but, like a fool, had had no interest in watching Spy x Family at the time. Well I did now and OH I CRAV WHAT I MISSED

Imagine you're coming home after a long day of hunting, and the first thing you hear is your seven shitty kids screeching at you for no reason, how pissed off would you be, I'd immediately fly away too

Imagine you're the oldest of seven and a fucking HOA member broke into your HOUSE and SHIT AN EGG and is BITING at your siblings, but your dad shows so you try to tell him the problem but you're very little and you don't speak English and he doesn't speak English either so you can't communicate that a fucking GOBLIN is in your HOUSE and the only reason he doesn't know is cause his ASS was on that bitch's HEAD and he must've assumed it was one of your brothers and sisters but it was actually that FREAK WOMAN who got in, and now your dad is flying away 'cause he has no idea what's going on

Imagine you're a parent and you've calmed down and gone to get McDonald's for your seven kids, and you come home expecting to get cheers because you know the D's are always a winner, but when you fly back in through the door the kids are all still screaming, and it's not even excited screams but you don't know what's wrong so you just look into the camera like you're Jim from the Office

Imagine you're one of the small middle children and probably the one that this HOA WITCH was BITING after she broke into YOUR HOUSE and SHIT an EGG and you tried to be a good host by cuddling with her to congratulate her on her egg but then she started BITING and taking over your ROOM and threw out all your GOOSEBUMPS books and your eldest sibling couldn't call dad so you all just had to wait, and then dad comes home but your STUPID FAMILY won't stop SCREECHING to explain what's going on so your dad leaves but then comes back and he's brought McDonald's which is like yay but there is an INTRUDER, and finally your dad looks around the house and notices BITCH BIRD KAREN IN YOUR BEAN BAG CHAIR, and you're like ok dad can handle this but then you learn he's more scared than you?????

Imagine you're a dad and you just got home with McDonald's and WHO THE FUCK IS THAT IN MY HOUSE but luckily you have seven children and the mean one is willing to fight this bitch and you're just gonna chill in this corner until this problem is resolved even if your other kids are straight-up judging you

Imagine you're Kevin McCallister and you're doing Home Alone except you're not home alone 'cause your dad is home too but he's not helping, he's just holding a bag of McDonald's, so you have to be the head of this house at eight years old 'cause you're home alone emotionally but this FREAK ON AN EGG isn't leaving so you decide to screech at your dad and he's more scared of you than she is

Imagine you're a dad and your child has publicly shamed you in front of your other kids and this ASSHOLE KAREN and you decide you're not gonna take this shit anymore so you tell your kids that you paid for this McDonald's with your hard-earned bird money and they're gonna damn well eat this, so everybody stop looking at that side of the house and just eat your fucking french fries but then that fucking MONSTER starts BITING your only child willing to go into battle so you recognize this is a lost cause and throw the burgers on the counter and you remember you're an ADULT so you grab your car keys and fly the fuck away

Imagine you're all seven children and dad left you with the pigeon again

[the-pineapple-talks]

Fun fact! Owls can't move their eyes like we can, their eyes are not spherical they're shaped like mushrooms, so they can only see upfront. That's why they can bend their necks so much instead. Owls have a reputation of have great eyesight and it's true! But it's only great for low-light, far-sighted, wide-field-of-view conditions! If an owl has a pigeon up close to the side, how is a fella supposed to notice??
