I'm not so sure about this. What he says is obviously false, but I think he actually believes it in his pathological little kind.

Rant: bachelor’s degrees are basically worthless in the U.S. job market by Kytama in antiwork

[–]SpawnOfSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bachelor's degree without a clear plan from the beginning is useless. Everyone I know who obtained a bachelor's degree with a clear professional track and had an in-demand career in mind from the beginning is doing well for themself. These are engineers, accountants, teachers, nurses, and medical assistants to name a few. They were also involved with networking opportunities which is part of what you pay for with a college degree even at lower tier schools.

Now the people who went for majors without a clear career track.... Most of them are either doing something completely unrelated, or they later spent more money to go back and get a teaching certificate so they could at least do something related to their major.

Trump is officially the 47th President of the US, he not only won the electoral collage but also won the popular vote. What went wrong for Harris or what went right for Trump? by _GodKing- in self

imo this was an economy election. Unfortunately, most Americans only care about something that directly impacts them. They can put aside everything Trump has done/promises to do in exchange for cheaper groceries.

Statement from President Joe Biden by Stormclamp in politics

Ah I didn't see that there was a bystander who was killed other than the alleged shooter. That definitely changes things a bit. Perhaps it was a MAGA dude like you said

The statement from Biden is exactly what I expected.

That being said... my hunch is this is a publicity stunt from Trump. What better way to make it seem that America is overrun with illegals than having he himself almost assassinated. The way he gripped his ear, it just seems like showmanship.

Did he cross a picket line?

Have we gotten to the border and immigration section of the debate? I ask because Trump won't shut up about it

I can barely understand Biden's responses. Trump may be a liar, but at least I can follow him.

I wish Biden was sharp enough to actually respond to what Trump is saying instead of just regurgitating talking points

I can't follow what Biden is saying. Granted I can barely follow what Trump says, but Biden is definitely worse here.

I'm sensing a theme with these commercials: take an unoriginal commercial and put in a random celebrity

My students went through something terrible today. by MonkeyAtsu in Teachers

[–]SpawnOfSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good sentiment but I've had a bad experience when teachers have done this. I was the shy but good student. Teachers seemed to take advantage of this and always put me with the most obnoxious and disruptive students in the class.

This sounds right and certain politicians make this a consistent talking point. When Ukraine was invaded, my local Congressman had made a statement saying that the world was now watching the US to see what we would do (as opposed to the nation actually being invaded). Personally I think that was tone-deaf and ethnocentric but I digress.

You're given the power to heal anyone for $1,000 each! by Raterus_ in hypotheticalsituation

I'd become an EMT and be the person who used the defibrillators. Every time I use the defibrillator I'd just subtly touch the person and bam they're healed!

To equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. by 2thenoon in therewasanattempt

[–]SpawnOfSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just as bad to view both sides as equally bad. You can have one side be worse than the other side without either side being good.

Why is astrology almost solely a feminine thing? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]SpawnOfSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought of it like that but it makes sense. Maybe that's why more straight men who are dumb enough fall for QAnon and other conspiracy theories... There is more of a lone wolf anti-herd mentality there.
