The argument was “it happened before so it’s fine” which is an absurd argument, and I’m just pointing out the absurdity.
“You don’t get a choice so it’s fine” is also an absurd argument. If someone kidnapped me, bound me up, and expressed their intention to cut off my hand, then I would worry about it even if I had no choice. If you’re telling me you wouldn’t be worrying in that situation, you’re a liar or incredibly abnormal. Lack of choice plays nearly no part in the degree of worry.
What can help alleviate worry is knowledge, but here is a topic that is impossible to learn about.

I kinda agree, but mostly because western universities are being run like businesses first and educational institutions a distant second or third, and this is the inevitable outcome. Idk if other cultures have the same problem with their universities.
It’s more lucrative to sell degrees as status symbols and career checkboxes, than to sell education. This changes both their target market demographics, and their funding priorities.

Is say “learning how to learn, and communicate effectively” especially in a specific domain, are pretty huge skills, honestly.

It’s a device from the 90s that played specialize erotica tapes that had an extra channel which synchronized to an electric pocket pussy (not pictured) over 3.5mm cable.

- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 1 week ago:
Back when I put eggs directly into boiling water, and then ice bath, this didn’t happen.
But I’ve found it’s easier to get a perfect egg by putting them in cold water, bringing it to a boil, then taking out off the heat.

When you hate women, men are the natural alternative.
You’d think they’d be a lot more supportive of trans women, given this.
