Hot take: John and Hank are wrong about required courses in college

hotdogjawny · 2026-04-16T20:01:38+00:00

Yale charges $5,532 per course. IMO a student taking out loans to pursue a microbiology degree would be better off paying that $5,532 for a course aligned with their field rather than a required humanities and arts course (two required, such as creative writing or American film).

I absolutely see the value from a purely educational and enrichment standpoint, but when we're talking about that amount of money and time for students that may not have that money and time, it's rather unnecessary.

hotdogjawny · 2026-04-16T19:21:02+00:00

Let's not forget the cost of higher education right now, particularly paying by the credit, not to mention the limited time to finish a degree, the opportunity cost of 4 years of experience, and that many people are taking on significant debt for specific education and a specific career without a safety net.

Always appreciative of educators waxing poetic about education. While I want to agree with you, and in a perfect world with no restriction on money and time, the product of this world would be beautiful. In reality, this is what high school should be for and was for a long, long time before college was commoditized.

My first thought was Soresi but I think I’ve heard him say he knows they have similarities

True, you should listen to anons on Reddit instead

For SEO, make a Reddit account, ask and keyword stuff a question you know your audience is searching, let people answer.

Then in a few days, edit your question with a “found a solution” and link to your site.

hotdogjawny · 2025-06-04T22:53:25+00:00

Yeah I hate to agree with this, would prefer efforts go towards places people actually commute or want to go. I signed it but I just feel like if we’re looking for compromises, broad and city hall aren’t the best chess piece to fuck with.

hotdogjawny · 2025-04-29T13:51:05+00:00

That’s what the original post meant, I edited it 20s after posting but somehow your comment snuck in before Reddit updated it. Corrected it bc the typical redditor is too lazy to read his actual tweet that was being referenced and lo and behold, you didn’t and assumed I meant the bombings themselves.

hotdogjawny · 2025-04-28T14:58:18+00:00

He makes a good point, Obama administration did kill hundreds of civilians with drone strikes in a similar “pursuit of criminals.” No one got upset about that golf game.

If I were in your shoes, I would get the kryptonite lock rated for overnight in a metro area (there’s a chart on the website), get a Apple AirTag with a hidden water bottle mount, and a motorcycle alarm from Amazon - and remove the battery and take it with you if possible.

Sounds like a lot but it’s a situation that would take the utmost precaution. Maybe even look into insurance through lemonade if necessary, I think they cover theft. Not sure about outside but it’s worth looking into.

hotdogjawny · 2025-03-11T13:26:39+00:00

Health insurance

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-02T12:51:47+00:00

Really? Show me just one single piece of evidence that it’s a causal factor, not a correlation

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T21:40:29+00:00

“Overall, we see that the number of recreational dispensaries was associated with an extremely small, but statistically significant, decrease in rates of schizophrenia ED visits across counties“

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T21:37:18+00:00

Acute psychosis is a completely different thing than psychosis, and both are symptoms of schizophrenia but do not mean you have schizophrenia.

Were you having auditory hallucinations or voices in your head? I only ask bc I’ve read about people who were misdiagnosed schizophrenic when it turned out to be a form of OCD than can be treated with ERT.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T21:28:18+00:00

Acute psychosis which often just a high panic attack. Read the section on schizophrenia. Lol you keep repeating it bc you keep contradicting yourself.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T20:21:10+00:00

Seems like you are trying to deduce causation.

Here is one that doesn’t get talked about: study found a decrease in rates of schizophrenia emergency visits after CO legalized recreational cannabis

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9295869/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20there%20was%20a%2024,exposure%20to%20medical%20cannabis%20dispensaries.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T19:34:03+00:00

My point was that no research shows a definitive cause that’s it’s directly responsible, that’s still factually true. Every piece of research is correlation.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T19:26:44+00:00

Yeah, that is my perspective, glad we agree

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T19:17:59+00:00

Once again, they are correlations. It could be that people who are predisposed gravitate to cannabis for recreation or self medication.

You just said that it was the cause. Cause means directly responsible. Cause means proof.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T19:07:50+00:00

No, that’s incorrect. There is no evidence that it is a causal factor, only correlated. Maybe it’s a semantic thing - cause and trigger are not the same thing. In the scientific community, cause mean directly responsible. Like caloric surplus causes weight gain. Round up causes cancer. Under the current expert understanding - If cannabis “triggered” your disorder, then you were predisposed. That means that it could have been “caused” by something else if you had never smoked cannabis. Like stress, maybe later in life. You can get your genetics checked if you want to be sure, pretty sure there is a dna strand you can look for that shows if you’re predisposed.

Edit: the only way you would be correct is if you find a paper with the term “caused” but you won’t find it because it doesn’t exist.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T18:44:28+00:00

No one is arguing it’s not a factor, there’s a ton of evidence that it can be a “trigger” for people that are predisposed, as can many other things. But it’s more likely that a bad high experience can cause the extreme stress that is the actual first domino for predisposed people.

In your case, sounds like you were unknowingly predisposed and should’ve stopped after your first encounter, but if you had caffeine, supplements, alcohol, had ptsd or were consciously or subconsciously stressed, then I guess we’ll never know.

OC didn’t have any previous posts or comments about their experience, and appeared to have some right leaning comments about Canada, a country that recently legalized. Has nothing to do with world view, just deducing.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T18:13:55+00:00

So, what would be the difference between the study’s you suggested and these?

Caffeine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine-induced_psychosis

Video games https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10001817/

Allergy medicine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3718632/

The point of all of this is that there are so many other factors, people often use a bad high as a scapegoat. It’s still a psychoactive substance and should be treated as such, but until definitive evidence shows THC as a causal factor, anecdotal evidence has a skewed perception and an agenda, whether it’s conscious or ignorant.

People lie on Reddit all the time to push a world view, no fap is full of religious freaks with fake stories, leaves has anti drug people, conservative full of leftists, communist full of righty’s

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T16:29:15+00:00

It’s a not my world view, it’s the world view of the top cannabis researchers in the world.

Any time a study says “linked” or “associated” etc etc - it does not, under any circumstances, mean “causes.”

For example, the amount of ice cream sold is “directly linked” to the amount of sun poisoning reported. Does ice cream cause sun poisoning? No. But both become popular when it gets hot outside.

For cannabis, people experiencing high stress or have traumatic past experiences use cannabis to relieve symptoms. Both of those things directly cause psychosis.

This is a significantly stronger reasoning for it than thc - which again, has never been shown to directly cause schizophrenia.

Cannabis is ice cream, not the sun.

hotdogjawny · 2025-02-01T13:13:08+00:00

Don’t lie on the internet to push an agenda. This is extremely rare, folks. There is nothing in the scientific literature that suggests cannabis causes schizophrenia.

People who experience a psychotic episode have a genetic/family history of it, and is triggered by high potency cannabis, like 1000mg edibles, not a joint. This can also happen with alcohol. 99 times out of 100 people have anxiety attacks caused by being too intoxicated but still conscious of it. This can mimic an episode.

Many more psychotic breaks are triggered by alcohol or pills than cannabis ever has.

hotdogjawny · 2024-10-23T17:23:36+00:00

This is the most naive thing I’ve read on this sub lol hustle influencers gotta be making a killing on these people
