I’ve offered people links to the PDF versions of the textbooks so they can point out the wokeism and tell me how much time a full course on biochemistry leaves for discussing the dismantling of the patriarchy. Nobody has gotten back to me on that.
dude they can’t even agree on a solid definition of what “woke” even is
That image is so awesome but it needs to say “Everything I don’t like or understand is woke” cuz hooboy I’ve talked to some people that call shit woke and after pressing them with questions it is obscenely apparent they do not understand one iota of how said woke thing even works.
Damn DEI engines.
You can just delete the DEI.
White supremacists call Trump supporters woke if they aren’t racist.
It’s today’s slang for what communism meant in the sixties, things they don’t like
Which is extra fucked since it started out as black slang for “noticing how rigged the system is against minorities”
Socialism is when the government does stuff, and when it does a real lot of stuff, that’s full blown communism.
This is a joke based on what conservatives say.
you cant argue with them like theyre people, you gotta trick em like toddlers
use their own game, tell them its a good thing theyve never learned any of this stuff because they couldnt handle the truth
make a few bot accounts to follow then around on social media, dropping super vague but ominous statements about biochem:
“you think thats scary, you should see what chromosomes ACTUALLY do.”
“yeah Joe Biden is nuts right? haha almost as nuts as how there’s a 1 in 600 chance that you were not born a male but dont know”
May I suggest you add “the core economy 1.0” to your list of “read and think about what you’ve done” list. Free ebook used in 1st year econ.
I feel like I’d be a massive hypocrite if I link it for someone and I haven’t read it. Lol But sure!
Big read, but lots of diagrams.
Wow! Look at you pushing propaganda for Big Earth. They are just trying to get you to buy more lifespan! We all die, so why not die in a coal rolling F-250, like God intended.
Edit: Give your local, helpful car guy a high-five!
Very likely not a diesel if it’s an F150. Generally those are F250’s and up. Or, more likely Rams and Silverados.
There was actually a pretty good span there where you couldn’t even get an F-150 that was a diesel.
But, I think your point is still valid. No one seems to give a shit enough to sacrifice their big truck fantasies.
As a sidenote, diesel is not necessarily bad; a properly tuned diesel vehicle with a DEF system will have lower emissions than the same vehicle with a gasoline engine.
Of course, coal rollers deliberately don’t have their engine tuned properly
Like 99% of generational conflict these days is the pressure of the young wanting this country to do the work to live up to the propoganda we were fed growing up instead of just believing it out of hand.
Same for 99% of why religious faith is in decline in the US.
Can’t go calling yourself the greatest country in the world forever, eventually you either need to put up or shut up.

I’m so tired of US-centric discourse on Lemmy. I thought this was .world, not .USAUSAUSA
That’s why they now say don’t go to college, it’s all bullshit. They’ve learned… but the wrong lesson.
80 years is really generous. I put it more at like 30 or 40.
Don’t worry, with the advent of AI, we will be able to protect the wellbeing of our beloved economy long after the last human is dead!
That’s all that matters after all, as I’m told during every crisis.

Its almost like being exposed to the wider world outside your usual bubble turns you into a different bubble.
Obligatory visual aid:
This is great! Thanks for sharing!
I have received different words of encouragement and reason to study since I came from a poor country: “study so that you don’t end up poor.”
Now, those words are true but is one-sidedly blind because it plants the idea that education only exists as means to earn better money, instead of teaching that its true intention is to broaden the person’s knowledge and mind. Many college-educated people I know are still superstitious and religious, and don’t apply what they learned into their everyday lives. They only view education as something more of a hurdle barring their way to earning money, and throw what was taught to them unless they are at work.
It is not necessarily the fault of people though, the education system outside of the West is heavy on rote-learning, emphasis on discipline and order and following authority. There is less focus on critical thinking. Particularly in East Asia, the education system is cutthroat and very much similar to the Prussian education system-- which is designed to condition students to become future good workers for businesses, and less so as thinking and free individuals.
They don’t care because they’ll already be dead either way
The graduate is an adult.
I’m super straight with that

Sure, if you make an imaginary person who pushes their kid to college while also not trusting the institution.
My mom made me start saving for college when I was in elementary school, taking anything I got from gifts and chores to put into my college fund. I mowed lawns before I was legally able to work, then got a job as soon as I was able, all to continue padding my fund. I got my bachelor’s then my master’s in biology. My mom died a few months ago because she didn’t believe me or the doctors that her holistic medicine herbal teas wouldn’t cure her cancer.
That was literally my dad.
