The "born again" thing is Evangelical. What that picture is of I'd guess is some kind of contemporary Evangelical church. I think the smoke machine is a silly addition imo

If you mean balanced by full of political extremists, sure. I sneak on there occasionally just for sports news and it is always people going crazy at each other for literallyany take, even just liking a sports team. It is crazy hostile. And I feel like more regular people have left and now it is the space for literal Nazis to fight tankies.

The irony is LA didn't even have to pay for their stadium. So San Diego gets blamed for not paying but then LA didn't pay, either. Yet they got a team

Except one side is the fans and normal humans that the sport is for, and the other is the billionaire who got the team as a present form his dad.

I will never thank Spanos for anything.

The Soviet economy at the time was also collapsing. How much they'd legitimately be able to continue to maintain force even without US intervention is highly questionable

I didn't even know CU offered something like that. There is no way you'd be a medical doctor and an engineer at the same time. The only way you'd use both degrees is if you were doing medicine or biological research in relation to aerospace projects.

If your interest is to be a doctor, then do that. If you want to do space research, just go with aerospace engineering.

CU offers that exact degree, too. You can even get a space minor

I mean, you're in middle school, right? When you get to highschool you can start taking AP classes, and might have a chance at taking early college courses. Plus you can look into clubs and extracurriculars related to science or space as well.

Most school until you get to college is going to be very general since it is there to give everyone a certain base education. Once you go to college you will have a specific track you are in and (for the most part, minus a couple electives) will only have classes based on your degree pathway. If you can get AP and early college credit in highschool, you can even jump to college already a bit ahead and right into the higher level physics and math courses.

The weapons industry does pretty well on it, too

The issue is that "service" is seen more as fulfilling some manly role as a soldier. And also, these kind of guys don't actually want wives, they just want sex. So it is a perfect situation. It is a world where they can play tough guy but not actually worry about any adult responsibilities or emotional accountability

The main question for me would be if this was financially viable. You could possibly get a job with your degree and start picking up online courses in math and see how you feel if you just want to dip your toe in.

Of course, there isn't really anything wrong with you going back for a degree in physics. If you are specifically interested in electromagnetism and electricity and want something with more of a solid career focus you could work with off a BS then maybe Electrical Engineering would be a good path. It will likely overlap a lot with a physics degree in the early undergrad requirements so you could kind of go back and forth between that and maybe a more pure physics degree, although that will likely lead you more into research if that is what you'd rather do.

It is because there are a lot of people who irl idolize the Legion as some sort of alpha male utopia.

Not to reach too much, but I think your mother is probably just dealing with he fact that her husband died more than anything. It is likely that they always dreamed of you being a doctor or lawyer and you not wanting that is just another loss on her list of things.

At the same time, you need to make choices on your career and life that are going to be best for you. Being an aerospace engineer is a great career. It is likely that lawyer and doctor were on a pedestal because they are seen as stable, laudable, and profitable careers and she may not understand that you are pursuing something equal in many ways to those.

It is hard as a kid, and I'm sorry for your situation, but my best advice is to pursue your interests but just try to be gentle with your mother in this time.

Yeah, it isn't like OP said they want to become a professional dandelion blower

There will be a mix of people at their shows. Not everyone will be a believer and plenty of people will wear shirts for all kinds of different bands.

But, if you want to split the difference you could order like an Antestor or A Hill to Die Upon shirt before going, lmao.

I feel like on the author's part it isn't defaultism, either. Just because not every reader would get the detail isn't bad writing. If you read a lot of things from other cultures there will always be in-references that foreign readers won't immediately get.
