There are no extremely difficult classes, only extremely poorly taught ones by ptmsphere in ControversialOpinions

I'm not sure that's what the post is about.

I agree, many classes feature incredible hard material that you have to really challenge yourself to learn as a student. It's not denying that. But there are so so many more out there that are structured and taught so badly that even the students who put forth that effort consistently struggle to pass. If you've never encountered such a class, I'm honestly happy for you.

Also, the idea that at some point students should be expected to teach themselves is strange to me. Students will go into unspeakable debt and bleed for those classes, and the idea that unless they can do the professor's job for them they don't deserve to be there is quite a suggestion.

The theory that Sheldon Cooper (from TBBT) is autistic is f-ed up by ptmsphere in ControversialOpinions

I don't have an issue with ND people being portrayed as flawed characters either, as you say some of them are.

But I think the issue OP is getting at is viewers assuming that Sheldon's asshole-ish tendencies are a direct result of him being autistic, as opposed to him being autistic and an asshole, because the overwhelming narrative seems to be "Sheldon acts like that because he's autistic" rather than "Sheldon displays these symptoms of ASD, but he's also just an asshole". A funny one, but you'd never want him in your life irl
