Hahaha, I admit I was trolling a little bit there 😘
But “pay your fucking bills” is not a controversial statement, and the fact that that was being downvoted is fucking hilariously stupid. Now eat your food, cut your hair, and get a goddamned job!

The system needs an overhaul
Nah, just make it legal again for bankruptcy to erase student debt. Exploding tuition costs only became a thing when that law was changed. “You mean we can charge whatever we want, loan it out to unqualified borrowers and they’re on the hook for life with no way to discharge it? Awesome!”
If bankruptcy could discharge tuition debt again, you’d see a wave of defaults, then tuition costs would crash back to affordable levels that were actually reasonably able to be paid off - at least, it would be less painful than what declaring bankruptcy would do, which is exactly the point. 🤷♂️
What a shit trailer. Three scenes repeating with no sounds. What?
Unless you want to be a part of a curated safe-space you’re not missing anything. If you do want to be part of something like that, we’ll then you’ll need to reapply and sell yourself harder.
More like Rom.
Oh no! Anyways…
Totally depends on the challenge of the project - and it follows a bell curve. Too easy and it’s annoying, too difficult (or takes too long) and it’s fucking aggravating. But those rare Goldilocks projects that are a challenge but shit just clicks along? Chefs kiss.
If you’re just getting into Trek, start with TNG season 3. Follow that up either with TNG seasons 1 & 2, or jump into Voyager.
For a darker Trek, watch DS9 - but be aware the first few seasons are very uneven and it gets a LOT better. It’s arguably the best of all the Trek series and well worth the investment to get past the first few seasons.
Enterprise was ok. It’s held up well, except for the theme song which was always trash. Don’t watch the series finale - just, don’t.
For the new series, SNW is the best of the live action bunch. Picard S1 and S2 are steaming piles while S3 was enjoyable and what S1 should have been. I personally enjoyed S1 and S2 of Discovery, while everything past that was truly terrible IMO. Prodigy was really good, if you can get past that it’s geared towards kids (which is obvious from time to time).
You’ve already enjoyed Lower Decks, so 👍
Amen! And that’s always been the case - that’s why the traditional good advice has been that you get a business degree, with a minor in whatever the fuck actually interested you. A business degree is always applicable in every field, and like you said it’s rare that you actually get a career that follows your major. 90% of the time the college degree itself just proved that you could show up on time and follow instructions - but that’s gone out the window too in the past 20 years. Nowadays if you want a worthwhile secondary education trade school is where it’s at - you can’t outsource the trades.
I’m old enough to remember when “don’t take loans you can’t afford to repay, and pay your fucking bills” was universal common sense and not left vs right - but look at this dumpster fire of triggered communists expecting to be absolved of the consequences of their poor choices by daddy government. Personally, I think they’re just salty that they got lied to again, and everybody who told them this would happen was dismissed / blocked / deplatformed as a being an alt-right nazi bigot. Shucks!
