Traditional subject?

Physics, but applicable physics. Not just the boring memorization of formulae to do math with. Stress on beams like you might calculate for a building structure. Heat generated on a electrical transmission wire causing it to sag. How thrust and mass interact to put a satellite in orbit. Stuff that could be applied in a job or just be really interesting to figure out.

I really like this one. It’s modern Home Ec. And sorely needed.

I’m not arguing for anything, I’m stating how the system works and that college should be a careful consideration and not necessarily a default. Nobody was arguing the position you’re taking. Yes, education should be free, I’m all for it, and cost/benefit is exactly the hurdle that I stated should be considered based on the criteria I mentioned. Until school is free and easy to attend, this is the hand we’re dealt.

Here? Either an unpopular opinion or replying to a comment I misinterpreted. Nothing too bad. Reddit? I got banned from a sub because I disagreed with breeding dogs into messed up mutants that couldn’t breathe or bark right. Probably that one.

I signed up, though I generally don’t like following individuals and much prefer groups or communities like Lemmy. Gotta support independent social media.

There is a trend on social media to dismiss college as wasteful and expensive. Article after article after data show college is worth it (for some) if planned right.

No, I don’t really want to entertain any suggestion that there is any conspiracy to drive people to college unnecessarily, however there is a LOT of marketing to get people to go. I have NEVER heard of an employer paying a random, off the street hire, for a degree. I have no idea where that came from. Some employers will pay you, or pay for, advancing your education while employed, but that’s rare.

Unfortunately, people don’t do the math that going to get a $150k degree for a job that starts at $39k/yr that doesn’t have a lot of career progression or very limited high-paying positions might not be a good idea.

Nobody cares which college you went to or how exclusive it was, unless you’re getting a job in a field that compares dicks over what school you went to like high finance, or maybe something like a lawyer or physician could open doors at more exclusive institutions. For the rest of us, finding the least expensive college that will offer a decent education should be the mark. After your first industry job, that’s all anyone cares about. Work experience. Same for going to a trade school - which is a perfectly valid choice if the field you’re interested would be better served by going to one.

Don’t just go to college because that’s magically supposed to make things better. It doesn’t. It needs to be a well planned decision with real possibility of career progression at a pace you can realistically hope to make decent money in to pay back any loans and have an improving lifestyle.

I’ll offer that my experience was going to college handily landed me my first two jobs in my industry, however it took over 20 years of working in my industry before I started making enough money to have anything remotely called a “lifestyle”. Unless you’re well-connected and well heeled headed into an industry with crazy starting pay, you’re not gonna just buy all the toys on day one. Most of us are going to take many years before getting comfortable or even treading water.

Again? 2019…2013…and however many other “exodus” articles are written. Facebook is still the biggest. Must be a slow news day.

I use it for fam and friends, special interest groups, and local events. It’s still a useful platform if you curate it well. It just takes effort. And Firefox plugins.

#4, also influencer.

Ok, maybe aging parental DNA affects RCCX more? Who knows. Also overweight parents are more likely to have kids with diabetes, and being overweight is rampant in the US.

They quit working when they’re not properly maintained. That’s all there is to it.

We were in a similar position, but just poor as heck, and a couple of times every winter I was down in the basement trying to get the heat fixed again. It was always little things. Bearing starting to fail, shaft keys getting loose and pulleys spinning, thermocouples failing. The units were 20+ years old. They were inefficient AF and really needed to go.

Now? We make sure to have the HVAC serviced yearly. It’s a couple hundred bucks. I travel a lot for work and it’s down to 20°F at night. Can’t have this stuff failing on the fam while I’m away. I can’t remember the last time it failed.

What they’re saving in maintenance they’re probably losing in efficiency. They’ll be able to carry the units only so far until one inevitably fails, irreparably, on a holiday weekend and it will cost a fortune for the weekend/emergency service rate to get someone to come by and repair or replace it. Worse yet if it fails while everyone is away and now you’ve got frozen pipes and water damage.

The increase in rates is contributed by people having children later. Lots of peopld have kids later in life compared to decades ago. Like ASD there is a link between parental age at the time of having the child and an increase in non-normative conditions. It’s not the only cause, just a factor that increases risk.

Now do the Van Wyck. Disincentivizing cabs, livery, rideshare, car service, whatever else constantly clogs that that few miles of road that takes 25-30 minutes could be done in five.

“Nothing will stop real artists from making art.”

I think this is kinda an empty sentiment. Nobody is trying to stop artists from making art. They’re just trying to stop paying a lot of them for their art.

It’s not just eye contact, there’s all the rest of it too including other body language and how you’re speaking to someone.

That said, I used to occasionally hang with a guy that chased all the girls (the kind of guy that would ignore you as soon as a girl he could be interested in showed up) and he would all but stare at her in conversation. Made me uncomfortable by proxy, lol. Seemed effective, but that’s what he did.

100% guaranteed verifiably NOT a photoshop

Verify it, then. Your claim, not mine.

This plainly looks like a fake. I’ve already explained why.

So your argument is that it’s real because it was posted to reddit and you don’t care if it was a photoshop?

Probably Barilla, I haven’t bought it in a while but if we do buy pasta it’s usually that brand. Yeah, I do all the cooking and pasta is generally not an issue as far a doneness goes. Sauce? Varies. Alfredo, pesto, or some variant on red sauce.

Yep, the time between done and mush is pretty narrow.
