  I’m picturing the rapture, but only proctologists ascend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If college is a scam, where do you go to get better education?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the sentiment of “entering a raffle” when costs are high and job prospects are low, but no one is guaranteed success whether they pursue a post-secondary education or not. We can only do what we think will improve our chances given our current circumstances and the information we have available.

  If you’re applying to a job where no one knows anything about you, you have to stand out in some way, whether that is a formal education, an impressive personal portfolio, or someone who can vouch for you.

  So when I say connections, I don’t just mean that you should go in the hopes of “befriending a nepo baby in your class” but just interacting with classmates and professors who you can learn from, who could become references, or get you hands-on experience in an environment you wouldn’t have access to like a studio or lab. Sometimes employers will also look among students for new talent. Is all of this necessary? No, but many people seem to think it gives them better chances than the alternatives.

  I’m not trying to persuade anyone one way or the other and this comment isn’t about what I think is right or fair. If you believe you’re better off following a different route, then I truly wish you the best of luck with it.

  In what way do you consider it a scam? I’m guessing you live somewhere where the cost of education is so high that you think it doesn’t justify the risk of not finding work.

  If your goal is just to learn, there are plenty of free or affordable resources online for many subjects.

  If your goal is to find work, there are alternative types of education and programs with a lower cost or barrier to entry (trade schools, industry certification courses, coding boots camps, etc.) but unless you are getting a job through connections, it will be in your advantage to have some work experience, either in the form of a portfolio of things you’ve done or volunteer work since the chances of finding good work without either a formal education or experience are small.

  The additional benefits of going to college/university is that you form connections with people who can help you professionally and it gives employers who have never met you a way to verify that you are capable of committing to something if you don’t have any work experience.

  If your only barrier is cost, perhaps you can look into scholarship opportunities or programs for studying abroad where tuition is cheaper.

  This looks like his knees are angled inwards (genu valgum) rather than hyperextended knees/hypermobility.

  There’s another condition when knees bend backwards farther than normal, in some cases it is quite extreme.

  If it worked, that would make a great story about bonding over music! I’d be too worried about giving the wrong impression to tag them though.

  Both suggest a mismatch between appearance and contents, but “false advertising” is almost exclusively used in a negative context.

  Expected a much darker sound based off the band name alone, but that was a fun fusion of genres. Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a great time :)

  I noticed many brands and restaurants have started skimping on filling. I always joke that I would bankrupt any restaurant I own because I do not go light on the flavorful ingredients.

  There was a story circulating a few years ago about a pair of twins who strive to be “the most identical twins in the world”, which includes sharing a fiancé and timing their pregnancies for the same date. It is not mentioned whether they bang each other though (not something I care to speculate about lol).

  Oh they know there’s a difference, or else they wouldn’t strategically shit the opposite color of the object they target.

  (Jokes aside, the white portion of bird droppings is uric acid and the dark portion is fecal matter, which they excrete from the same opening).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good communities to follow for someone who is just getting into lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What are his interests? I can make a few suggestions based on them. There is a search bar where he can filter for communities containing keywords he looks for. I also suggest browsing by All, subscribing to communities that interest him, and blocking the communities and users (sometimes it’s a handful of users sharing unwanted content around multiple communities) he doesn’t want to see.
