Basically the title. I couldn't apply for Computer Science or Computer Animation, so I went with Public Policy and I feel nothing. "Why am I doing this?" "What's the point?" "I already knew that", are all way too common things I say to myself during my courses and university work. For the past 2 years I haven't learned anything new, everything is stuff I already knew about, because of all the political and history books (and being media literate in general helps) I've read through the years, it doesn't help that the degree in that specialisation is essentially just a piece of toilet paper. I'm 23 and seeing my friends getting their degrees, finding a job in the thing they studied and loving it, makes me feel an emotion of emptiness I can't describe.

I feel I failed in a way I can't describe.
I'm empty inside.
I'm not good at anything.
My degree is garbage.
I think I might have depression.
I'm scared of being homeless.

I'm not sure what response I'm looking for, or what exactly I expect with this, but I came to the conclusion that I should write it down.

I think the anti-Sony tone of this thread is borderline insane.

I don’t know what some of you want so as not to label Sony as being anti-consumer… 0% profit margins? Any more than that and they are evil?

Reminder, they make 7% profit margins recently, and at their best not significantly more than that. That is far from price gouging.

It's funny, the gaming industry is literally the only industry that can barely get away with adjusting their prices for inflation.

Keep at it gamers do not accept these price hikes 8)

Also, they post Era and that's considered as good as a real degree in political science in some circles.*

Quote
Today I was in a class called Political Behavior, which is supposed to examine the relationship between American citizens and the people they elect. Naturally there are a lot of rare circumstances from 2016 that are interesting to examine. However, my professor repeatedly presents these circumstances through republican talking points and conservative frameworks, even though she herself appears to be a moderate democrat in personal opinion.

 It makes me sad that someone in charge of educating new voters is either entirely clueless about our reality or won't take her job seriously because she's too scared of being labeled somehow. And this seems to be a department-wide policy. If you're an educator, and the truth means stupid fuckheads will label you, tell the truth anyway.


Poor guy was exposed to other viewpoints in college.  :social

Sorta feel bad for the dude. It's not an uncommon crisis for students to go through. It’s good step forward to ask for help. Era isn’t it. If anything, it influenced the self defeating attitude. If you’re saying you feel dumb, empty, useless, while saying you already know everything and other people are wrong. Like?

User is young. Hoping they get advice and course correct. Look into transferring credits to comedy school.

WTF homelessness has to do with Liberal Arts Degree? 

Having a “useless degree” doesn’t make you a unproductive person… just ask Neoxon and his Computer Sciences degree that seems incapable of landing him a job.

all they've got going for the louis story is some vague power imbalance thing and the fact that it was a weird fetish

I don't think there's any evidence that he ever sought to wield his power imbalance for revenge on people who told him no, it seems obvious that he was horribly embarrassed

every story has him sheepishly asking for consent and not pressing the issue if they said no

don't want to defend a fucking weirdo but he doesn't belong in the same bucket as weinstein and epstein and cosbystein

Yes, #MeToo is genuine net positive for society, RE. Documenting the actual misfires would actually help cementing this as people can accept when they are wrong and not confuse mob justice as some sort of twisted form of empowerment.

Is probably better for the world to dismantle sex cults, disguised as telemarketing companies, with actual political connections rather than cancel a weirdo comedian for perceived power imbalances.

The fuck is this thread?

If you break kayfabe to get mad at people for not playing along, then that's on you. If you can't get the crowd behind your back (if you even want them to), either alter course or roll with the punches.

Soon there will be a time, when russian generals wish to have fired their long range missiles more on military targets, instead of wasting them away in the futile attempt to break ukrainian morale by destroying appartment buildings with no tactical and strategic value.

This tactic never has and never will work. The Brits didnt give up during the Blitz, where the germans wasted planes and valuable crews on bombing cities instead of finally destroying the nearly defeated Royal Air Force. The germans endured losing their cities without toppling the Nazi regime. North Korea and North Vietnam did not give up, not one intact building left in their bigger cities, exhausting US air force capabilities up to a point where some US generals pressed the usage of nuclear bombs to FINALLY break the spirit of these yellow, communist bastards.

It. Does. Not. Work.

I've been rewatching The Drew Carey Show for some reason and the first season was kind of telling. There's this little arc where Drew decides to make an office memo more palatable by including an image of a caterpillar having non-consensual sex with a french fry, gets sued by a woman in his office, he starts uses a bunch of ethnic pejoratives (all to white ethnic groups though) to make sure that the people he hires can "take a joke", he can't hire a lawyer because they think the first amendment is powerless and he can't win, he can't get a public defender because he's paid too much and thus "has fallen through the cracks in society", then he tries to flirt his way out with the judge during the trial.

It feels like it's mocking cancel culture and #MeToo, but it's doing it ten years before the MeToo movement actually started and twenty before it was popular.

The movement to actively normalize workplace sexual harassment and mock the idea of being considerate to an increasingly diverse workforce has been at work through mainstream media for at least decades.

Since Drew Carey is a wealthy Hollywood white dude who is also an outspoken libertarian, it's the least shocking thing in the world to me to learn that he dedicated an entire episode of his show to the hardships of white men in societal power structures supposedly being unable to act in ways that are at the very least inconsiderate of and at the worst outright predatory towards those of less privileged status.

Quote from: L Thammy
In later seasons the show turns very cartoonish, and I think at that point it rarely feels like it's got much of a political statement, which I think is how most people might remember it. But then there's a few moments here and there which are pretty nasty. Definitely the worst of the '90s sitcoms I've seen.

There's one episode about internet censorship where Mrs. Louder, who owns the store, insists that the internet should be censored and that no good conservative would argue. That gets her in a fight with Kate, who is trying to impress her but has to stand up for what she believes in, which is that you can be a good conservative and also not believe in censorship. No one brings an opinion which is not outright claimed to be conservative. To settle the debate, Drew brings in celebrity guest star Rush Limbaugh and everyone gushes over him.

In the last system, there's an episode where Drew and his then girlfriend Kellie are starting up their relationship, then Kellie is horrified to discover Drew's politics which are all completely disgusting to her. Drew pretends that he's being influenced by her opinion just to keep having sex, then try just try to ignore the topic, but ultimately Kellie is pressured to give up on the hostility to focus on her relationship because it's more important. I'm not even sure I'd say it's a pro-conservative episode so much as outright bad because Kellie debating Drew's politics makes him sound awful - she tells him that ownership increases gun violence and statistically is more likely to harm the owner and he just says that since half of people owning guns isn't working maybe they should have more, he calls affirmative action unfair and she notes that Drew is in a position of privilege as a white man, they both agree that climate c

Beyond that, there are some throwaway jokes which tend to come up every once in a while which are all various kind of bad. There's sniping at the Clintons, which isn't innately bad since there's things to criticize. A lot of the insults between Drew and Mimi read as transphobic in nature, and it doesn't really stop once they add Steve - a crossdresser who is mostly not played for comedy - is added to the cast. There are also a bunch of times where Drew snarks about the government unfairly targeting the wealthy, which is especially bizarre when so much of the show is about Drew's friends who are stuck in low-paying jobs being pushed around by corrupt wealthy higher-ups.

Say it every damn day: social media is the biggest mistake of our lifetime.
True. It has created pseudo-reality bubbles which absorb a lot of dumb people together. There are no facts or truths in these bubbles, just misinformation, anger and stupidity ready to explode.

All the good the social media has done is covered by dangerous, harmful trash thoughts and ideologies (Andrew Tate for example). The critical thinking amongst people is fading. Lies spread much faster than truths because of the social media.

We humans are primitive mammals who have an ability to think rationally. Many have stopped to use this ability, and are proudly vocal about it.

Sad, show was really entertaining. The only RE show/movie to even attempt to have an episode mostly about puzzle-solving. A show that embraces how fucking insane RE lore is was really nice too.

Meanwhile Infinite Darkness sucked ten times worse and still hasn't been stonewalled for a season 2. No justice in this world.


 :doge :doge :doge

What the fuck RE is smoking?

“This shitty show was entertaining in how shitty it was, sad to see it go because Netflix is focusing on less unintentional laughable shows. Fuck Netflix.”

“Pls, Netflix, don’t cancel a shit show in the first season.”

You always have to remember Reee hates Netflix because it still lords it over Disney+ and they know its not going anywhere. As much as they wish it would.

I dont take their Netflix cancels another show that I’m conveniently watching and I’m angry acts seriously.

Same way they’ve been being about how HBO is ‘dead’ until the new GoT show shut them the fuck up.

I mean, look at Rowling. If she could just shut the fuck up then she'd have a money printing machine.

Some people just can't help but be assholes.

WTF you are talking about, did Harry Potter suddenly disappeared from public consciousness? Because she seems to still have that money making machine.
He seems to be suggesting that the Harry Potter franchise has only lost momentum not because the main books ended nearly 20 years ago but because Joanne's fascism woke up everyone up to the fact it sucks. Weird how Warner Bros. keeps trying to keep the franchise alive through movies, video games, theme parks, etc. rather than dump the obviously toxic negative value of the IP. Must be because of Zaslav's obvious love for another Trumper.

Do they need to? We got folks right in here who are mad that other people are being helped.

It's like niccas getting mad at an abolition decree after they had to physically escape up North. "Nah, roll that back Lincoln. They need to cross the border and run from the dogs like I did." Like, come the fuck on.
Why isn't that cracker ass Biden giving people abolition from their seven year car loans? This kind of white supremacy is why I refuse to vote Democrat this year.

As unpleasant as kiwifarms is, the only reason someome would want cloudflare to be withdrawn is so that the site can then be DDoS'ed, so I don't see how Twitter justifies advocating cybercrime.

Era is probably not covering this because Keffals is insane and MTG is involved. The same reason why ProPalestineRE suddenly slowed down when Abbas said that Palestine was 5 holocausts.
