It IS the smartest of the stupidest moves for some of us. I make much more money than I would have without a degree, so I’ll still come out financially ahead. In would have been so much nicer to have gotten a decent education and not be saddled with enough debt to buy a small house (at the time, before the housing market went insane), though.
My parents and in-laws: $0 student debt
My spouse and me: just shy of $150k
In America I’m free to accrue massive debt! 🦅💵🇺🇸
DO DO NA NA NYAH NYAH NYAAHHH
There’s something so comforting about learning other people have the same struggles I do. I’ve had to do the same thing regarding “optimizing” my routine, which is one of my favorite ways to procrastinate.
Sure buddy. You pretend whatever you need to pretend. We believe you.
The only thing I’ve actually found offensive here is that you think anyone would be so stupid as to find that believable.
Funny thing: I didn’t ask if you cared and I don’t care if you do. I wanted to put the correct information for those who actually care about if things are true or not.
We’re not on Facebook, some of us have standards.
Methylphenidate isn’t meth at all - it’s ritalin/concerta. “Meth” is amphetamine (Adderall) with a substituted methyl group (methamphetamine). This increases its ability to dissolve in lipids, so more enters the brain and at a greater rate.
By mass, methylphenidate is about half the strength of amphetamine. Amphetamine is about 1/5 the strength of methamphetamine, so methylphenidate is about 1/10 the strength of methamphetamine. Amphetamines and methylphenidate also work by different mechanisms, so they have different effects, making the relative strength an imperfect comparison.
Methamphetamine actually is prescribed on rare occasion under the brand name Desoxyn, usually as a last ditch effort for extreme, treatment-resistant ADHD.
I agree 100%. My friends, peers, and I all wasted huge amounts of time during our undergrad degree,and to varying extents even in post-graduate degrees, fulfilling the university’s “one size fits all” curriculum standards.
I spent hundreds of hours sitting in lecture over nearly a decade. I DO NOT learn well from oral instruction but still was graded on attendance. I did homework far in excess of that required to learn and practice the material. I wasted so much time that I could have achieved double the number of degrees, even then with less work, if I had been given full autonomy and responsibility to learn the course material.
… Skin Unit. Gross!
100% this. I have routines mapped out so I don’t have to figure everything out again once my mind decides it’s time to let me function for a bit.
Oligopoly.
I had this exact realization as a teenager while undescribably stoned and haven’t been able to watch shows like this since.
Okay, good! That’s what I thought you were doing, but just wanted to be sure we were on the same page.
You know I’m agreeing with you in my previous comment, right?
I agree.
I do get it. Part of me wants to do the same because I find their worldviews to be ridiculous and that makes me want to use them to insult them even more. It seems ridiculous, like telling someone “you’re a duck, quack quack quack,” and them then being gravely insulted. It’s just stupid. They’re just stupid.
The reality, though, is there are enough of these bigots that they affect the reality we all live in, including the meaning of the terms they use, and this changes the implications when others use them. I don’t use them, despite my childish, vindictive urge to do so, because I don’t want to further reinforce the hurt they’ve already caused.
Not this one. This is intended for 3D content creators, who won’t be concerned about the increased latency from the dual CCD memory locations.
What the absolute fuck. Even if I was pro-AI, I’d find this to be incredibly unethical.
Now that is equality.
I originally studied environmental microbiology, can confirm.
