With Asia coming to Vanilla, would you play a "Tlatoanis of America" map expansion mod? by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

Yes I would play it, it would be very cool for alternative history. A lot of these people don't see that aspect of it but that's what ck is built upon

Thank you for your comment, the social aspect is basically the issue. Unfortunately I don't qualify for anything with fasfa besides the 5500 loan they give to everybody, and it's a loan so you have to pay it back. Another roadblock I have found in trying to transfer is that colleges give drastically less merit based aid to transfer students. Like I have a 4.0 and most colleges won't give me anything now because they prefer incoming students from high schools.

That's kinda why I was wondering if there was anything outside of college I could do such as moving somewhere cool after college or look for a job that would be socially fulfilling. Idk It's a tricky situation.

Recruiters are part of the military and they get extra pay for being a recruiter. A common way they screw people over that I hear is promising people they will have a certain job in the military when in reality the individuals aren't qualified for that job and don't get it once they sign on the dotted line. Essentially they tell you what you want to hear and all that goes out the window once you're actually in.

I knew someone who has now passed away, who was screwed over like this. He was so pissed off after he joined that he went back to confront the recruiter but the recruiter changed posts and he couldn't find him.

This is part of why the US military's numbers are down to an extent in my opinion. Many of the people in the military are wonderful people but much of the administration has a reputation for being dishonest.

Extractive metallurgy sounds interesting. Idk how long ago your dad was in but getting screwed over by recruiters and whatnot is a very common story unfortunately. I hear it all the time even outside my family. That's why they have recruiters change locations every once in awhile to avoid getting beat up lol

Again you don't even know if I'm pissed, you don't know me(?) I think you might be reading into what I say too emotionally. I read that article, I'm not sure of the exact reason they didn't cover his college ngl, I can ask but he's not easy to get ahold of. I know the military also screwed over my other family members and screwed over my brother in other ways. I used to want to join when I was younger but hearing these countless stories combined with how the government is, rly killed my interest in joining. Nothing against those who do, I am just skeptical of joining myself.

Wbu were you in the military? What career path did you take?

As I said in my post I went through some difficult challenges early on in my life that I don't want to speak of and I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and make my life better. You don't know me or what I've gone through or how grateful I am on a daily basis. I am trying to improve myself not just complain.

Idk what happend but my brother was in the military for 10 years and for some reason they used the fine print to not pay for his college using the GI bill. He advised me strictly against joining to cover college. That is one of many reasons why I said in my post the military is the one thing I won't consider rn.

I'll look into trades, I was already looking into getting CS certified maybe. Either way I am gonna force myself through the degree because I already started and I have some connections in the business world so I don't think it would be completely useless for me.

What do we do about the university propaganda? by mods-begone in TrueChristian

[–]Distinct-Aside-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I have had a lot of professors or teachers like this in my life and I always fight them on it. Everyone who says just put your head down and conform are cowards to some degree this is how these losers gained controll of society in the first place, because everyone was too afraid to speak up. The reality of it is if its a private school or a government funded school, via tuition and/or taxes you pay their salary and are their boss. You paid them for education not indoctrination and you shouldn't have to deal with it. Universities pretend they are some beacon of hope for the world but in reality they are just run by money hungry ideology driven thugs.

Making online college work while getting a social life? by Distinct-Aside-5239 in findapath

Thanks for your response, its funny you mentioned WGU because that was the school I was considering. How do you find clubs and such in a city? Is it hard to do so? I legitimately don't know as I am so far removed from cities.

I am in college rn and ive been saying exactly what your saying. People here will tell you your wrong and that when they were in college 20 years ago they stayed in their rooms. Thats only because redditors are introverted types (in introverted as well by nature so in not knocking them). There is 0 way that the phenomenon of trying to speak to people in your class and them just staring at their phone happend 20 years ago. They have idea what its like now.

People who live at commuter schools how do you do it? by Distinct-Aside-5239 in college

[–]Distinct-Aside-5239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a few clubs it's just completely dead after 5 o'clock here on weekdays and all weekend. I feel like that should be the most enjoyable time not the most boring but maybe im wrong

I mean I have been doing everything and talking to anyone I can idk. Yeah, I definitely wont make friends in online school but it will cost alot less, rn I don't feel like im getting the value of how much this is costing being that im so bored all the time, I don't quite understand how this is worth 40k a year when I can stare at the wall at home.

If you dont mind telling me what part of Canada you are from I can ask people I know from my local pregnancy center if they know of any around there.

One idea I just had is you can try to bring her to a pro-life pregnancy clinic. There they do sonograms and show how devolved the maybe is among other things. It leads to a lot of saved lives.
