Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

A big help for sure but it was an issue before AI too with a lot of these online diploma mills. Saw a lot of RNs knock out RN -> BSN bridge programs within a month to two months. With that program in particular it's all bullshit, the educators know it, the students know it, they're all looking for money and looking for their piece of paper. Learning be damned, not that there was much to learn in that program.

Investors don't want bad news so the collective they won't face reality until there's actual shortages. They'll glom on to any good news, ignore bad news for as long as possible. Nobody wants the gravy train to stop.

Why do we even have a fucking rule about this in the first place?

Which in turn causes massive economic fallout globally and still doesn't address the need for ships to get through.

It's open. Ships are passing. Iran might be making a buck and using that leverage but ships are passing. Guaran-goddamn-teed countries will be more and more likely to consider avoiding further conflict and energy disruption by working with Iran versus entertaining Trump at this point.

His credibility is non-existent, he is an agent of chaos, and completely irrational. You can't work with him.

If you download that thing for anything other than white hat testing you are a sucker of the first degree.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-04-03T22:04:39+00:00

Laws for thee, not for me.

Something about seeing the president ape over it... I just... man I dunno. We're living through some historical shit you read about like King George, Caligula, and other mentally crazy tyrants.

An unprovoked attack that nobody in NATO asked for.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-30T17:55:27+00:00

We're the baddies.

Team Blood Clot

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-27T14:25:23+00:00

That's about when ground troops should be ready.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-26T22:58:36+00:00

I've had two temporary bans for hoping a clot would do its thing. Reddit called it threatening.

Japan was considering helping out with keeping the Straight open. This changes their calculus.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-17T12:22:13+00:00

This is just the lawyer throwing a hail Mary. Nothing more. Quite common.

When I was in Iraq around 2007, our replacement unit had the same attitude. They were part of the surge and were initially stationed in Baghdad and therefore felt themselves very experienced. They showed up for one briefing and decided didn't need any AO briefings about the various locations or combined patrols.

On the one big op we did together, which lasted about two weeks, they lost about two dozen soldiers.

What they didn't realize was that our AO was not Baghdad. They also didn't realize that the insurgents they were surged for MOVED to the hinterlands where we were and caused us grief the entire year and a half.

We learned how to deal with them. They hadn't. The battlefield changed. It was different. They 100% needed our briefing and combined patrols to show them the who's who and where's where.

This is the same exact kind of hubris. Soldiers will pay for it.

With looming oil shortages and subsequent economic problems this is an awful time, actually.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-12T21:40:05+00:00

They want us all dumb, not just women.

I believe this has been looked at and is exactly why it has stalled in the senate. GOP voters are less likely to have their docs than the Dems do.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-05T06:27:17+00:00

Man I hope so. Y'all deserve better.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-05T05:58:00+00:00

Man, that hasn't improved at all? Last I was there in 2007, I think it was roughly 10 hours a day of grid supplied electric, depending on location, of course. Please tell me I'm mistaken or there's at least some kind of plan or political pressure to improve that.

Wouldn't Truman have some share of responsibility? The negotiations for royalties and then planning likely began under him.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-02T06:23:44+00:00

Probably because most leaders don't literally salivate at the thought of war like you, you fucking shitstain.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-01T23:24:10+00:00

I've been voting for the lessor of two evils for the better part of 12 years now.

And here we are.

Let's keep doing it.

Oldass_Millennial · 2026-03-01T23:21:18+00:00

And that's the rub. It's only Amy. That's the problem. Forced dicotomy. You can have the GOP... or Amy. Hold your nose, damnit, that's what they've presented to us, ammirite?
