  • Another symptom of extremely silo’d educations. As someone in a STEM field who took a couple years extra to graduate because they didn’t declare a major for two years, I see this shit constantly. Clearly, very intelligent people who have been once again let down by our education system, but this time at the University level.

    To the point where I will probably get downvotes and angry replies about how learning that other stuff is useless. But I can tell you that it’s absolutely not. I’m an engineer, and “Logic and Language” is still, by far, the most important course I’ve ever taken…












  • Well she did get a “genius visa” or whatever it’s called, so she’s obviously brilliant.

    /s not needed hopefully.

    Just to lay it all out, because I was thinking about this earlier… About how far we’ve fallen (even including Clinton’s BJ, and JFK’s dalliances) with regards to what we are collectively willing to accept as character traits in our leaders. These are people that are supposed to be role models for our kids. Literal, unrepentant racists. Literal, unrepentant rapists.

    The former (and possibly future) First Lady is a mail order bride/sex worker that a rich, gross old man (the President, btw) basically bought for all intents and purposes, by providing the means for her to fraudulently come to, and stay in, the US… Why should we give a shit what she has to say (unless it’s on a witness stand)?

    No judgement for the sex work specifically (though the Republican hypocrisy is on full display as always). Her trashiness is independent of her past sex work.
