Community College isn’t good.
Why not?
If you’ve been forced into 13 years of remedial schooling, Community College is too similar to the “Cs get degrees” attitude. I’m tired of being told not to do things because it’s hard. The only things worth doing are hard.
I mean…that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.
An unimpressive teacher, but that’s the pattern. I once tried redoing a math class as a CC because I wasn’t comfortable with the possible gaps that would come from being in the remedial version at HS. I had to take a placement test, tested out and then I insisted that I wanted to take it anyway, I was told it had filled up. It somehow had four openings later that night when I checked of anyone had dropped online.
Ideally, I’d like to redo certain classes in a CC, but not accumulate credits so I can apply as a freshman at a real college and get involved in UROP.
So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking
So you checked later and slots opened up which is…normal? And you didn’t take it?
And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?
I don’t get it.
I don’t trust placement tests. When you’re in the remedial track, any failure proves you need the extra help and any success proves how much of a good fit you are for the extra help. Placement tests just skim the surface and only “work” under the assumption that you wont need anything that’s not covered by them.
I doubt four people dropped the class in the few hours after I was told it was full. One or two, sure, but four? And they were instanced that I shouldn’t take the class, so I suspect that they lied about it being full. The class being full was a frequent lie I was told in HS whenever I was trying to get into better classes. Funny how I was the only student who that they never seemed to have room for.
Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.
The moderators have the power therefor when they do something rude it actually isn’t rude. In fact you are rude for suggesting that they are being rude, and deserve punishment.
It’s funny how power works.
The left lane, and how no, it’s not for going as fast as you want to drive.
Thank you, even if the some people believe there is a specific lane to constantly edge ahead of poor slow drivers, that is not the ideal lane to be the fastest car in. People merge on from left a lot more than you notice. I live in a city that has a nearly equal amounts of merges from left.
As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They’re funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.
- “Why doesn’t this site have more in common with reddit, which it’s literally a clone of?”
- Can’t bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you)
- Can’t be critical of… a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and getting called a Genocide Supporter
- Don’t even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear people…
Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL
OOL on hexbear people
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
I don’t think this one should be as controversial as it is.
Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.
I’m not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I’ve not paid a cent to any artists’ work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying “hey, I don’t fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will.”
Can I have some examples of such things?
If anything, that was just an answer to the topic question, I don’t have anything about anyone’s human rights. Ah, by the way, I forgot! Of course! What I said also includes the necessity to explicitly state your words aren’t deliberately harmful if they can be seen as such by someone. (Again, it’s just an answer to the topic, I don’t bear any harmful intentions to anyone.)
That Trump was a good president and hopefully gets a second term.
Best answer because even in this thread you’ve been down voted.
I voted for him myself and have for sure been down voted for it on here, over and over again.
Haven’t been banned though, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
Why would you vote for that old, demented, incompetent orange???

I hope you get a visit from this guy tonight

Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)
+ Here’s video without text summary
I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.
There’s just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.
-
We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.
-
Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?
- Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
- The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.

Anything pro-suicide
Medically assisted suicide is pretty widely accepted in Canada, in my experience. Pro non medically assisted suicide or young suicide is different, maybe.
Non medically assisted
Oh that is a good one. Thanks.
All drugs should be legal and regulated.
Is it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths, at the hands of police and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?
When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?
Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?
Will drug users ruin sober people’s lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?
Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?
NO!
Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists… that’s who. And we are not them
Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.
Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.
Now playing The War on Drugs - Red Eyes
I know it’s very on the nose and has other themes in it. But the root cause is all the same. Reagan. This is the song I thought of reading the post:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIqNjC1RKU
I don’t necessarily agree with everything said in the song, but I think we can all agree (to quote the song) “I’m glad Reagan dead”.
Is this not a relatively mainstream belief?
Very much not the case, no
I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.
Angular my beloved…
What’s wrong with it if I may ask?
There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.
That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.
I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.
I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.
how meat is treated.
Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.
I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.
