I find such things morally bad but hey if the government is not doing anything might as well take advantage of it.

wow, so patriotic or something what do you think about movies and games making red tailed hawk sounds and having alot of people think that is how eagles actually sound while in truth they sound alot less impressive and more akin to derpy

LOL you hit it on the head -- Eagles are rare where I am and as my daughter was growing up I had to constantly correct her and say "No hun that is a Red Tailed Hawk" upon hearing one. The real eagle scream is pretty wussy in comparison.

funny thing is i learned about this detail maybe a year ago xD before that i was among the majority thinking that is how eagles sound but we dont have eagles here so i have some modicum of pathetic excuse for not knowing or caring still funny to be aware of this detail. same as with bananas. people think the banana we have available is how it was naturally made while in truth the real banana looks very different and is extinct to our current gene modified banana

Commanders in the SB would be friggin hilarious. I'm rooting for them in the NFC.

Just can't do that - I gotta go with whomever might beat the Chiefs (hoping they lose to Buffalo)

Exhausting work, but the people are looking to you now! You're a hero.



Made a small edit to reflect my sentiment about the world as a whole!

Never got a good suggestion from reddit, got baited into watching that smartphone isekai, and it was the worst anime I've ever seen, I even feel ashamed for watching it. Only isekai ojisan is perfect.

​

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability isn't good, but the fanservice makes it watchable. Also it's kinda funny. I guess it's comparable to Highschool of the Dead in that regard. Watch for the tits and ass with an occasional laugh.

yeah a lot of produce tends to be modified to be more useful for human consumption, engineering fruit to have less seeds or to produce more food

Spoiler: A video on the subject if you're interested

Been a hot minute since I watched HSOTD. Miss those boobs breaking the sound barrier.

I mean, libraries existed and have been freely accessible for longer than the internet has been around, and you can learn pretty much everything you can in schools being found in them, but their existence didn't make it so there was no need for schools. Access to information doesn't really matter if you don't have the aptitude to process and understand the information, and that's the main point of schooling, even at the college level.

Certainly, libraries have existed and been accessible for a long time.
However, they are purely one-sided sources of information which as you pointed out, is not enough for some.

The internet on the other hand is not merely a one-sided source of information.
There is plenty of educational video content in various styles so people can use what suits them best.
For those that learn better doing something, there are plenty of examples of instructions/tasks/challenges/etc. that can give you something to start with.
Perhaps the biggest difference is that it is not simply one-sided, there are plenty of places for discussion and people willing to help you out personally.

If you have a specific problem, a library would probably contain the methods to solve it, but they'd be abstract or for something similar, and it would be hard to find and apply them to your exact problem.
In contrast, on the internet, you'd be able to ask someone to help you with your specific problem and get suggestions/advice specific to your problem. If you have trouble understanding/applying something, you could ask for additional information/help.

There is much less of a difference between what a college/university offers compared to the internet than there is compared to a library.

That is not to say there is nothing to offer.
Like I mentioned earlier they offer degrees/certifications and connections.
They also offer great opportunities for people interested in participating in research.

However, if you don't care about those things it might not be the best option.
Especially in places like the USA with high costs associated with it.
It may be far more economical to learn in your own time using the internet.
If additional help is required it would also likely be far more effective to look into private tutoring or a mentorship program instead.

The average cost of college in the USA is almost $40,000 per year.
You can afford a lot of tutoring, classes for things you particularly struggle with etc. and have most of it left over.
Doing so also allows you to work at your own pace without additional costs or learn alongside a regular job.

When you consider it's $160,000 plus interest in debt over a 4-year period, which you'll pay off over a ~40 years of working before retirement, you're looking at a $4,000 principal plus interest that you have to pay back every year.
That's an insane amount of money to pay if you don't have a specific job you want to do that requires it.

Nobody is going to argue that going to med school is a bad idea if you want to be a doctor since it's a hard requirement.

But if you have no idea what you want to do or are one of the over 50% of people who don't end up doing work that requires their degree, spending such an insane amount of money is probably not the right choice.

Obviously, if you live in a country with a reasonable education system that is free or far more affordable, it might still be worth going to college/university, but if you're in the USA or somewhere with a similarly fucked education system it probably isn't unless you have a specific plan to make use of it.

Love the slime in your sig, what's it from?

The world needs more slime-o-morphs

I also enjoy and love the effort and most of your themes ^^

This week's theme is definitely taking the most effort. The real challenging part of putting the image dumps together is trying to not use images/gifs I already used.

However, they are purely one-sided sources of information

I've been in enough libraries to know this isn't accurate. About the only thing you can't get in a library is books the government banned.

 

[conzibald]

I been to my university's library and know that it is a good place to sleep.
Comfy sofas, AC and quiet. Also good place get a viewing room for CD movies that the university has.

Watching the Ohio State - Notre Dame game Hate em both so it's hard to get up for this one. Though I hate Notre Dame MORE so - So -- so far -- so good. Since NIL came in along with the transfer portal college football is kinda like the mini pros. Larger programs with established NIL collectives can offer substantial financial packages, some reaching $500,000 or more for individual players. So some of these "armatures" actually make more then they will after being drafted by the pros. I prefer my porn to be amateur but not my football so it is a conundrum

if you hate both why are you watching it? or is it just something you enjoy having as background noise?
