!agree

assumes all cultures are equal. not sure i agree with that

Thank god for scholarships. Wouldn't have been able to afford college otherwise. Shit's a damn racket

One of the one's I got was my state's scholarship lottery one. That was just about 2.5k a semester but got dang the requirements were a joke. It was a minimum of something like 3.5 GPA and an 18 on the ACT. It's less now b/c surprise surprise when they're that low anyone can get that money.

Don't quote me on that, it was almost a decade ago. I'm looking up the stats now, but yeah. It was *low*

Oh wait! Not even a gpa minimum. "For High School seniors, the only requirement is a 19 on the ACT or ACT equivalent score (990 on SAT), FAFSA Required. "

That's what they should be imo

Why Iowa??

I'm surprised they're doing that. I thought that was the point of in-state vs. out-of-state tuition

Same, I graduated in '16 and there was talk of the school adding a Social Justice degree when I got out. It was a Baptist university btw

You know it's ad when it's getting into religious colleges too.

@Grenade123 when I was teaching one school didn't allow dodgeball, yet luckily the PE teachers, knowing that's shit just had a game that was *very similar* to it. It was just called "Guard the pins"

good lord

there were inklings of it when I was in, had an openly feminist history prof, another that would cite Edward Said, Foucault, etc.

Believe it or not, the education department was pretty based, they really helped start to clue me in on things

I guess it'd depend on what your long-term goals career-wise are

lif you do go history, get a double major in something that puts bread on your table

You have n idea. That'll help a lot, with the musem/nat. history sites. Sometimes places will have an opening thanks to a grant too. I got to work at an archive for a while b/c of that. Things lke that can turn into permanent work easy enough. You're a known quantity and if you do good work they'll want to keep you

*no idea.

That gif needs to be tagged as nsfw jfc

I remember raiding the fuck out of Nassau in Sid Meier's Pirates. It moved a few thousand miles :0

Smith & Wesson is the best /k/ommando anniemay

Upotte was fun though, but I'm a big fan of Strike Witches so go figure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah, in that regard both would be shite

they're otaku-pandering weeb stuff lol

Upotte and Strike Witches, wrt "i was working on presumption most people aren't into anime, and its on the list of 'last first anime i'd recommend to none anime people'"

It became a county too?? Man, what a downgrade for Nassau

This one's really dank:

There's a remarkably huge crossover b/w weebs and firearms users. Just look at the /k/ommandos over in 4chan.

Is that the Prof you interviewed a month or so back? That was a neat talk.

HMMMM 🤔🤔🤔

plz delet nintendogs pic ;_;

The only social media I use is facebook. And that's just because I have a few friends that don't use either a cell phone or Steam

slowpoking here, but did everyone hear the news about Linux? they finally made Linus Torvalds bend the knee

he suddenly took a leave of absence, apologized for all the not very nice things he said, and now Linux is going with some Code of Conducf that is really broad in its provisions. Im not a big techie but given Linus I was absolutely shocked

i bet they finally blackmailed him or some shit

it seems way too out of character for him

I need to give it a look. ^ is always a + in $Current_year+3

whats PV do?

and they say the right is racist... 😒

Hmm, I think being able to say that definitively would be tough, but I will say that they focus on race to an amount thatd make you <:TimThink:482277772497125378> <:TimThink:482277772497125378> <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

like, I live in Arkansas. And sure you have some racists, people that "like black people but dislike niggers," etc. but its really "you do your thing, just keep out of mine"

if anything things are more classist here, now. no one likes the "white trash"

hopefully shes a qt. More qts are always good

i heard it was up but they disabled comments

sending 🅱️elated thots and prayers

thank ya fer your service

conspiracy: they made it intentionally bad and sperged out about it to draw in hate-clix

this assumes theyre thinking rationally :D

oh yeahh. they complained that people wedent to bld. pcs what they are to women in tech or someshit

I dont believe so. i can only hope its not to the point where they can cry racism even if the talking head is Hwhite

yeah same. I really thinj poc is a steo backwards

and tbh,

im honestly surprised /pol/ et al. havent made it a slur yet. its begging to be made one

poc even sounds like a slur

"Him? He's a fucking poc"

"Damn pocs"

yeah. It's disgusting to me tbh. I was taught, along with other black, yellow, purple etc kids that we need to look at the character and not the color

but from what I hear being "race-blind" is racist now . ugh

fuck, we're even bringing back segregation now. But its okay because minorities are initiating it

Fuck. my mom is pretty lvl headed, was really. but since '16 shes gotten TDS and now thinks libertarians are worse than republicans, who she says are bad enough

and im just a few squares below the center line in that pol. compads test

views have changed little since college but now im a reactionary luddite

and ofc my mom is a religious cnn watcher and npr listener

(and since '16 she picked up the atlantic, vox, and huffpo)

but yeah, pure propaganda. npr I can barely stomach now. the mass media certainly hasnt helped with the polarization!

or they watch fox so are discounted as yokels

I try to bring up pretty inarguable things like the boy crisis in ed. (was a teacher for a short bit), pretty low dosage pills. id like to think it helps but eh, I just smile and nod.

yeah. that really makes me worry about 2020. 4 years of tds and escalation. im surprised people arent getting shot yet

i think what did it for me, well politically? the stsrt was my noticing npr's bias wrt gun control around '09/'10

gamergate along with me learning about the state of ed while i was in my uni's secondary ed. program along with actual teaching really opened my eyes

for ex.

in my 8th grade soc. studies i had to teach out of a Howard Zinn book adapted for middle schoolers

Howard Fucking Zinn

ah, he doeant count because he's "white passing" /s

Right but he can pass for not black so he doesnt count ////s

thats an argument ive seen in the last year believe it or not

im honestly surprised by trump. I try to vote 3rd party when I can but dang i wouldnt mind voting for trump in '20

same.

And it does seem like he is tryinf to better the country's position. Really happy with his NK stuff

not so much a fan of syria, but itd be bad if I went 100% with what a leader did

dems are doing everything they complained GOP did in Obama's term

helps that they havent gone nucking futs with socjus

at the least they wont say you should be unpersoned or stripped of career, social standing etx well most wont

the left are slowly going full cult. rev.

i honestly think it's the universities and mass meda

plentt of friends were sane...before college

i was lucky I went to a baptist coll. so it was pretty insulated from socjusy rhetoric, but even then it was there a bit. the olace even has a social justice degree now

well they *are* yankees :p

yeaas...catholics are in a strange place. a friend os catholic and he really doesnt like the way its going. from theoutside it seems like theyre embracing socjus, to me. but a lot are kinda doing that

but centralization is good! The buffs it gives to your state in EUIV are nice :p

or maybe they jumped the gun?

it was a lot of shit. Franz Ferdinand assass. wad the spark

but rhinfs had bee building up for decades

way i learned it (real oversimp. here) they gave AH carte blanche to dk w/e with serbia

that freaks out Rus who declares war on AH, things spiral from there
