• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  so many of my 100 and 200 level STEM classes were like this in no small part due to the instructors not wanting to teach. they were being forced to teach as part of their employment contract but their main work was research

  i resented them for turning their lack of ability to get a position that didn’t require teaching into my problem because they refused to give the slightest effort towards actually explaining the material

  doing problems from the textbook on the overhead projector with near-zero explanation is dogshit teaching

  wouldn’t an electric chair be a closer match in meaning? nooses usually symbolize suicide moreso than execution these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  my mom has the vaccine mark! I remember asking her about it as a young kid and that being the first time I ever learned about vaccines. the idea that we “use germs to train our immune systems to fight them” was so cool to me. no wonder I went into biochem when i grew up (courtesy of having parents who didn’t let me die to preventable diseases lol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the future, it will be considered unbelievable that repairing a product used to be more expensive than buying a new one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it’ll either be Star Trek (“repair? just put it in the matter reclamator and replicate a new one!”)

  or Mad Max (“of course you repair! wait, what’s a ‘new thing’?”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Program on the Subway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to do Python coding lessons and practice on a 10" ThinkPad tablet on the subway.

  It was slow as fuck but so is my brain when trying to learn code :'D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  can confirm. every time i get a gift card I’m as annoyed that I can’t use it for rent as I am excited to be “forced” to get myself a goddamn fancy coffee or whatever

  that being said when I was truly desperate in college I did used to sell them online using various exchanges. i usually got $0.70 on the dollar which wasn’t terrible

  hyperpop: the world is working exactly as intended and you should be as many levels of angry as there are genre influences in this track

  i live here, also feel like this & that everyone else isn’t taking it seriously, and am not exactly sure what the fuck to do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  kicked out of a church for ripping too much ass is an achievement that might actually get me through the doors of a church to try, ha!

  and try to fart louder than you like a good host
  there is a non-zero chance we’re blood related lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i struggle with lactose and oligosaccharides
  yes, i can take an enzyme pill for both
  no, it’s not a perfect solution (not in my case at least)

  at this point I’m just straight up with people and say “I will burp and fart if I eat this, so it’s your culinary pride or your nose, choose wisely”

  me being gassier than the sun is practically a holiday tradition when i visit family. nothing has more milk and onions than Pennsylvania white people cooking lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like onions and peppers. They do not like me (understandable 🫩) and exact their fiery indigestive revenge every time I dare eat more of their ranks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the ones that smell slightly minty have about a 50% chance of being really tasty, in my experience

  also pro tip if you’re at a self checkout, whatever tomatoes you have are now magically the cheapest kind. isn’t that convenient!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if tomatoes are required to be cut, roma is the best variety as they contain the least amount of stupid slimy goo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UFO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
