Genuinely surprised people don't do more with Megatron missing half his internal organs on account of having a bunch of space bridge wormholes in his body through which he can channel antimatter. Cosmic and body horror potential galore, to say nothing of medical complications, yet mostly I just see "lol they gave him period cramps."

[breakdownsbuttlights]

Like even the implications for his trail and final sentencing! Can he be executed if his spark cannot be isolated from the interdimensional mess inside his body? Can he be imprisoned if not all of him is present and accounted for? It's just, gahhh, it's neat.

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.

Friendly Reminder:

If you feel uncomfortable with any conversation with someone online...

Block them.

If you receive very suspicious and unappreciated messages.

Report then block them.

This is the line you must not cross. For your own safety. For the safety of others.

You don't even have to say anything to them before you block them. They're not your responsibility. Their feelings do not matter when compared with your safety.

Block. Report. Do not budge from this rule.

Tucker, the cat behind Lady Normalgirl’s noble eunuch, passed away on Tuesday morning.

From about the time I could talk, I dreamed of having a pet cat — and when I was ten, that dream finally came true. But in all my tiny child dreaming, I don’t think I could have imagined a cat better than Tucker. He’s been my constant companion for the last thirteen years, through all the best and worst bits of my life and as much as I know it’s good he’s no longer in pain, it seems very wrong that I have to do this next worst bit without him.

I’m thankful that we were able to spend so long together (even if it doesn’t feel quite long enough) and I’m so very grateful that over the last year and a bit I was able to share him with all of you. Knowing that he will be remembered so far and wide means more than I can really express. He definitely knew how insanely much I loved him (and I know how much he loved me back), but I’d like to think he knew how much so many of you loved him and how much joy his noble likeness’s comics brought so many people. While I know I will never stop missing him and that my sadness might never truly go away, it will always be a comfort to know my little cat has left behind such a grand legacy of love and happiness.
