Maggoty , to memes in WYM I'M UNQUALIFIED?!

We need to figure out college in the US. There’s way too much dead weight meant to justify tuition in most programs. I’m sorry but I don’t need to know how to write research papers to do half the fields taught in college. Dropping that dead weight would make college far more attainable for so many people.

If we can’t stop businesses from requiring degrees, and we can’t, then we need a hard look at what’s in a degree.

Also, the government needs to back off requiring degrees for so much stuff too. For example they want a degree to tell people nearing retirement age what their options are and to do the paperwork. I’m sorry but that’s not what college is about. Unless there’s a technical need that cannot be fulfilled with certifications or practical tests, (code a coffee machine for me, and build the stack), it should not require a degree.

Going by job listings you’d think literally everyone other than construction, military, retail, food, and security, has a degree.

Wait, did Spain even have mining explosives back then?

clay_pidgin ,

They had gunpowder for sure. A barrel of gunpowder would do the trick, unless the aliens and Atlanteans built it out of Mithril.

15 USC 1692a (4):

The term “creditor” means any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed, but such term does not include any person to the extent that he receives an assignment or transfer of a debt in default solely for the purpose of facilitating collection of such debt for another.

Oh. Now I completely understand how all this works…

D1G17AL ,

Again with the attempt at casting legal magic spells. AS IF knowing the definition to what a creditor or debt is means you can just use a magic hand wave and file the right piece of paper to make it all go away will just work. These are adults who never passed basic economics or government class in high school.

SocCit is Harry Potter meets social studies. With the right magical incantation they really believe they can make themselves immune from law.

This person uses so many different words to describe whatever we are looking at. Goal, altar, dimensional portal - they rarely use the same word twice.

That aspect ratio equalling some random year is a fun crazy. I wonder if they extrapolated the year as the dating of an alien calendar, ancient calendar, or a future date on the Christian calendar? Maybe it’s a Muslim calendar date? It’s such a random application of very bad math that it’s kind of endearing.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s like when they say the Great Pyramid has the same dimensions as the speed of light in meters per second as if the Egyptians knew what a meter or a second were.

conciselyverbose ,

I’m genuinely curious how they did that math. Where did that number supposedly come from?

hungryphrog , to memes in traumatized

I’m so glad that I knew better than that when I started using the internet. Probably saved me from a lot of porn and gore.

We need to get the mutually incompatible conspiracy theorists to argue with each other and waste their own time instead of arguing with sane ppl and wasting their time.

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t work because either they find a way to make their theories compatible; there can still be logical inconsistencies, because ultimately the theories aren’t logically sound anyway.

Alternatively, they write one another off as delusional. A person who doesn’t believe in any conspiracy theories can still be “saved”, but someone who believes another incompatible theory is beyond redemption.

ahornsirup ,

It’s like the story with the three Jesuses. Lock three people who believe they’re literally Jesus into a room, all of them walk out still believing that they’re Jesus, and convinced that you just locked them into a room with two madmen.

Leaded gasoline.

Too much huffing starter fluid and glue as kids.

Their moms didn’t stop drinking during pregnancy.

A combination of all of the above.

No, angels did. Angels came to strip mine the earth, build a pyramid, then fuck off.

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

This has me going down some rabbit holes on Wikipedia.

Basically so far, I’ve read about Cain and Able and how God favored Able over Cane, which made Cain jealous enough to kill his brother. To which God curses Cain with a “mark” - which incidentally was used against darker skinned folks by the Christian church to justify racism because dark skin was seen as the “mark” of Cain.

It was because of “human sin and the Nephilim” that the world became corrupted, and this made God want to wipe out humankind for it. Noah being the only good guy left was the chosen one of course. He had to get seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals - my Southern Baptist upbringing always taught one pair of each.

After the flood, God didn’t like that humanity was getting along with each other and didn’t like that they were working together to build the Tower of Babel, so he decides it’s better to divide humanity with different languages and “sets them apart with confusion.”

That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. It’s really interesting given what Ive been taught, compared to what the stories really say. Not to mention, God is truly the OG troll and a huge asshole.

Manipulative and abusive is more like it. A grade-A narcissist, who delights in gaslighting and overpromising to garner control over those he feels are far inferior to him.

So a regular dictator. So human of him…

No no, what’s actually going on here is it’s a bunch of blizzard fanboys. The aliens they’re talking about are the Naaru and the person talking about the nephalim are blaming diablo 3 players implying they were sucking to many company resources away from WoW.

My single biggest disappointment with Lemmy is that they didn’t fix the glaring NSFW/NSFL issue.

Andrew15_5 ,
@Andrew15_5@mander.xyz avatar

What do you mean?

Lightfire228 ,

NSFL (Not Safe For Life) typically means stuff like gruesome injuries, blood and gore, or possibly fatalities

Which is different from NSFW, because sometimes you want to hear a dirty joke, bit you could do without seeing the aftermath of a Meat Crayon

Andrew15_5 ,
@Andrew15_5@mander.xyz avatar

So the issue is that there is only NSFW label and no NSFL label?

Lightfire228 ,

@Andrew15_5@mander.xyz avatar

OK, now I know. But I mean, it’s just not there yet: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317. Everyone would have to wait for it.

Zoot ,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

Tags/Flair isn’t Nsfw/Nsfl. Tags could be tedious yes, but a seperate checkmark or a seperate toggle for simply NSFL should have been made from the get go.

Andrew15_5 ,
@Andrew15_5@mander.xyz avatar

Well, that can’t be changed now. People discuss NSFL in there, but I don’t know what will be the rustler of it. Maybe it will be NSFW + NSFL tag. You can always create a new issue demanding NSFL to be treated as a special tag.

Zoot ,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

Its not a tag. It’s an option. You can even filter out all nsfw posts already.

Andrew15_5 ,
@Andrew15_5@mander.xyz avatar

That’s my point. It still feels like a tag anyway, but a very special one. Option feels not very specific, so I used “special tag”.

Landless2029 ,

I thought NSFL stood for not safe for lunch.
