I think we have different definitions of what passing knowledge, and familiarity. I think what OP is saying is that folks should leave college knowing how to think and reason mathmatically, philosophically, and scientifically. Everyone knows you don’t actually learn anything in undergrad, but you should at least know how to problem solve in your field. OP is just saying that maybe that problem solving should cast a wider net, I think.
Why should they? Everything is multidisciplinary. Even a pure mathematician needs to know how to communicate their ideas within their field.

Ah I get it now, yup that is shitty. I have some compassion for someone who was stupid enough as a kid to enlist. But only for active members? Love how in America we all get fucked over, unless you win the wealth lottery.

Maybe I’m weird, but I guess I don’t care about military discounts. I probably just don’t have much experience with veterans. But like we give senior citizens discounts some places, because it’s expected they don’t have much money. And there’s lots of old folks who need it. Haven’t military folks traditionally had a hard time reintegrating? Like isn’t that the plot of “the forever war”? If it helps the ones who need it then good. Helping people in need is a good thing. I’m probably missing something so let me know what it is.

Damn, that’s a hard choice. I don’t really want kids either, but sometimes the hormones hit hard. Definitely get your sperm frozen at least.

I work in a very rural area, sometimes you have to slow clients down and tell them to appreciate the natural beauty around them(clouds, mountains, trees, rainbows/sundogs, etc.). I’m going to blame this on phones more than urbanization though

One of my good runner friends (3000+ miles a year and owns 100+ pairs of shoes) is the biggest sketchers fans I know of. Apparently their good running shoes aren’t even cheap anymore, like $110+.
I imagine these kids aren’t wearing super shoes anyway, or else they would know the puma’s are faster

Yeah, I always feel a little embarrassed to bring it up. I’m liking that there are more underground games coming out now like turnip28 and trench crusade, but they don’t scratch the same itch in the same way yet.

USA is a country without kings, we don’t want any.
We’re protesting trump, but also his stupid military parade. We’re trying to reclaim what it means to be an American.

And do you get good muscle recovery from this diet? I do a lot of running and cycling, eating (high carb) during my activities has really helped faster recovery and helped control cravings later.

How can you form coherent thoughts at 3%? I would only be able to think about food

Most kids paint is washable, so I imagine painting over it won’t be so bad.

Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.

Is rural living also immortal to you? At least near me the economics of becoming a farmer aren’t terrible but lots of them have second jobs.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 5 months ago:
So what I’m not understanding is, why are we putting people in jail for something that isn’t causing harm? Unless, is there something about overstaying your visa that is harmful?
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 5 months ago:
I’m gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

Those get clogged up on pre patinad copper unfortunately, and a sharpie does not work well on black prefa unless you are trying to hide a scratch.

When I was doing roofing the pica dry mechanical pencils made things so much better. Sure a pencil works good on wood, but what about when I have to mark gray sheet metal? You need something that comes with different colors.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 5 months ago:
My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.
I can’t say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don’t even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!
