    It felt appropriate, seeing how so much discourse here is more or less exclusively classroom theory discussion that almost totally ignores the actual reality.

      I remember once telling someone that there is more to life than 101 coursework, and they called me an elitist and a fascist.

      i sometimes wonder how these folks graduated college, but then i remember they probably just did the bare minimum and they tend to rant about how unfair and cruel it was they had to do coursework while ‘everyone else got to have fun’.

      and they will scream at you to ‘cite your sources’ and if you do… they simple say ‘no not sources like that, those aren’t real’. when it’s like … Census data.

        I’m guessing a significant portion are either currently still in college and/or otherwise live in very privileged bubbles.
