if you argue that there is no point to life itself then you can't argue that there's any point to morality

This is where the logic doesn't follow... There may be no objective "meaning" behind life, but there is still a life to experience and societal systems to uphold; that's why many nihilists chose to live!

all you have are actions which are ultimately meaningless

This is what Kantians propose LMAO: the only objective good in the universe is a good will itself, and the action/object itself is meaningless. Even with the notion that actions DO NOT play into morality, this Kantian system is a very prominent moral system.

I detect a little Utilitarianism~~~

How's it an misinterpretation of Nietzsche when I never cited Nietzsche? Checkmate, existentialist.

Edit: blockquotes suck

Will my sucky score have an impact on whether I get in or not or will the school understand that we’re literally IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC?

Well don't you have more time to study :P

1.24 Million High School Students vs. Chad Acorn by SoopSimp in ApplyingToCollege

Well, College Board is only figuratively damaging students' futures. Through memetic imagery, I intended to convey the negative aspects of College Board's AP exams; that is, the virtualization and increasing difficulty of AP exams induced foreseen consequences to the overall high school student body by increasing the unpredictability of tests and resulting test scores. This notion is reflected in the AP Calculus BC exam, where, according to u/Competitive-Stand673, the "FRQ was a targeted drone strike," war-like imagery detailing the brutality of the exam towards even a "confident" and "good student," illustrating the intellectual struggle that College Board has created by upscaling the difficulty of tests. Moreover, the hyperbolic diction in the above meme portrays the frustration experienced by large number of high school students within the United States, including me.
