  See my mom just forced me to graduate early, stole all of my scholarship money, and no one told me that taking Calc 3 as a 17 year old was a bad idea! I lost my national merit scholarship and had to sell my body to creepy old dudes to get a college degree in a field that said “no more trannies allowed” 3 years after I graduated!

    Creepy old dudes… You know I find it weird that you’re at least have of that transaction, on the supply side no less. Yet you’re insulting the customer.

    Assuming you’re not sex trafficked it’s easy to assume that you put yourself there, begrudgingly or not. Yet you’re insulting the other guy.

    What a weird attitude to have.

      Yeah, I “put myself there” because I got fired from gig work for being a tranny and needed to eat. The dudes who pressured me not to use condoms or fucking stealthed me were just normal guys.

      Eat a bag of dicks.

  My college plans basically got derailed bacause I can’t control my emotions it fucking consumed me. I’m just a puddle of sadness now. I feel so dumb that I don’t even know where to get weed.

  Average Chinese-American experience. I have no idea how the fuck, that my Chinese American classmates were able to handle all that shit their parents throw at them.

  Every time the adults talk to each other, its end up with “so-and-so’s kid is taking college classes and they’re not even 16” or some bullshit.

  Or the “Your cousin (Who’s also a US Citizen) is doing bussiness in [Some other country in Europe or Southeasr Asia]”

  And they didn’t give me a phone when it was the smartphone era when everyone had one, so I was just the loser/weirdo sitting in the cornet staring at the wall during lunch and I can’t even finish homework because I don’t have a phone to look up google classroom, so much time wasted being bored.

  Yea you wonder why I have self-esteem issues and no friends, no social life, and depressed as fuck.

  Where the fuck do I get weed? (Also isn’t it like federally illegal in the US? Expecially considering… current politics… ahem #47 ahem)

    What I’m reading:

    • You want to be successful. When you get compared to your family members, you wish they were proud of you too, because you value their opinion and want to contribute in a meaningful profession.

    • You want to fit in. You’d love to have the latest technology so you can not only participate in class, but also relate to the people around you.

    • You’re a responsible person. You want to avoid legal trouble and stick to following laws and social norms.

    I don’t have any advice, but I just wanted to point out the wonderful things I noticed about you, and I hope you find your path or some peace soon.

    Which state are you in? That’s the most important thing to know to suggest getting weed

    • DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yea I… um… I don’t really feel like saying where I live, but basically recreational is illegal and its medical only.

      And its still technically illegal on the federal level so I feel like feds are gonna be monitoring those locations. Biden admin had an executive order that told federal agencies to stop enforcing non-violent drug offenses in states where it’s legal, but today… this is trump admin we’re taking about. The law that makes weed illegal is still on the books and I feel scared.

    FWIW, The Why Files does a great job of telling the story, then hitting some of the most wobbly points. If there’s no direct evidence to fully debunk, they say that. Runs the full gambit of old school to really new stuff. Tons of fun, totally worth the time.

    I manage to get my conspiracy theory fix out of History For Granite. I’d rate him maybe a 2.1 on the conspirometer, he’s not an “Ancient aliens built the pyramids as landing platforms for their spacecraft” guy, he’s more of a “Everybody says the bent pyramid was a failure, yet it has a completed temple complex, while the Red pyramid does not. Hmm. Why do they keep pushing this narrative?” kind of guy.

    A few examples:

    • One of his videos contains back to back shots of Zahi Hawas describing Scan Pyramids’ finding of the entrance corridor void “Not a discovery” or “The most important discovery of the 21st century” depending on if he was involved in announcing it.
    • Possibly in the same video, he accuses the Egyptian ministry of antiquities of maintaining the monuments more as tourist traps; the oogie boogie weirdos bring in more tourism revenue than scientists so guess who gets prioritized?
    • He’s got a whole video about how there are these outfits that will advertise advanced metrology of the pyramids, LIDAR scans or whatever, and then never publish the data.
    • “Internal Ramp Theory.” Look at how they treated that guy.

    I would disagree. A lot of countries provide a multi track secondary education too account for the desire and ability of different students. Having different education tracks isn’t just American invention. It just happens to be that there is an easier jump from the lower education track to college in the USA compared to other countries.

      A lot of countries provide a multi track secondary education too account for the desire and ability of different students.

      Tracking students into different careers is very different from separating students into “Smart” and “Dumb” cohorts, particularly when the membership in the “Smart” cohort is more closely aligned with one’s street address than one’s scholastic aptitude.

      Even then, career tracking absolutely can and does take on a segregationist character when the wages of the labor make access to certain career paths a purchasable privilege. That’s how you get all the Eton College grads going into politics and journalism as a single congealed cohort, regardless of the competency of the school’s members.

      there is an easier jump from the lower education track to college in the USA compared to other countries

      The US has been at the forefront of privatized credentialing. And that’s created a rich vein of for-profit schools that exist above the High School grade, which people are obligated to assume debts to attend in order to be accredited for certain jobs.

      That’s not a “jump” between tracks, though. That’s just the elementary public education system getting defunded. We’re leaving large gaps between “what you need to graduate high school” and “what you need to start your professional career”.

    I wanted to comment because I’ve seen your comments and thought of you as a thoughtful commentator and I suspect we have similar political alignments.

    My child is in an urban school district. For several school board administrations, the focus has been on equity prioritizing black and indigenous peoples. I agree with this. I think systemic racism has led to the deterioration of these communities resulting in a downward spiral that we, as a society, have to work hard and pull out of.

    My child performed well enough to be invited to the alternative, accelerated program for highly gifted students. We decided noto send him as he was well integrated into his school, but his performance is an outlier in his cohort. For a number of reasons I won’t go into, his current school is a language immersion school. It is unique because it was started by the language speaking community and has operated for several decades. It takes children from all over the district via lottery. It sounds like equity at first, but there’s a limited number of people who can spare the time to send their kids to a school not in their district (bussing can help) and learn a language that isn’t their primary one. This has helped him not be incredibly bored the entire school day.

    His school is a mixture that leans towards the affluent. The language community that supports the program is a “model” minority and it attracts affluent people for the reasons stated above. The school performs well in testing and their funding reflects that. Unfortunately, this has led to the worst class room ratios in the entire district and high performing children are neglected because teachers need to make sure those not meeting the norm or need the help to meet the norm are getting that help. Giving these people that help is very important. Neglecting high performers deprives them of metacognative skills.

    High performers need to accelerate and be challenged in a way that is different. Their brain solve problems weirdly, sometimes rigorously, sometimes with leaps that don’t make sense to anyone but themselves. While my kid isn’t in the top ten percent of the top one percent, these kids need special attention that our system can’t provide.

    All of this isn’t to say you’re wrong. I think parents perpetuate a system that lets them access the basic education that we all deserve and find perpetually underfunded.

      High performers need to accelerate and be challenged in a way that is different.

      That’s a theory, certainly. I’ve seen others, suggesting that kids can perform better when they collaborate with their peers. More advanced kids who tutor a subject they’re familiar with outperform advanced students who simply race on to the next lesson.

      But, broadly speaking, the three prerequisites for a good education are

      • Small Class Sizes
      • Educated/experienced teachers with a focus in the field they’re covering
      • Well fed/rested students

      “Gifted” programs tend to shrink their class cohorts and provide more experienced teachers. Their kids come from wealthier families that don’t let them leave the house hungry. A lot of the behavioral problems you see in “low” performing students are the consequences of hunger and stress.

      That’s the difference.

      When schools provide breakfast programs and equitably distribute resources, offer social services rather than bullying kids with police, and keep the lesson plan from being busy work everyone hates, they improve the performance of the entire student body rather than a select privileged sub community.

    I think the work of saving and preserving these files en-masse is important, but spamming on random threads isn’t the way.

    All it serves to do is detract from the original discussion for those this appeals to, and frustrates everyone else, watering down the very message you’re trying to put out there.

    This could be a post on many relevant Lemmy communities and probably do well on the majority of them, thus achieving that mission without polluting Lemmy with spam that adds nothing to the current conversation.
