What information are professors giving you that you can't get anywhere else?
None. The value-add that good schools and curriculums provide is curation of information, and presenting it in a time-efficient way. For a practical demonstration of the value, try learning Linux shell scripting only from man pages.
This meme is a parody of PSAs aimed at telling people walking and cycling how to avoid getting hit. Y'know, the personal responsibilty + victim-blaming approach.
To demonstrate what actual hostility looks like, I guess.
I've been to several amusement parks and festivals that have parking lots so big and unwieldy that they have to have a public transit system to get drivers from and to their cars. Talk about evil!
Maybe about 10-15 years ago, there was this song by a group called One Eskimo that a local radio station did its duty in trying to force it to be a hit by gushing over it, and playing it all the damn time. It was a duet, but the male and female singers recorded their parts at ever. so. slightly. different. tempos.
Gah! Absolutely caused me physical discomfort listening to it. Like, wanting to jump out of my skin. Luckily, the effort to force the song up the charts failed (probably because it's awful), and I've never heard it since. Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" is bad for the same reason, but the tempo of the vocal track is so far off from the tempo of the backing band that it doesn't cause that effect.
I studied environmental sciences in school, so the metaphor I think of is that of indicator species, which provide information about the state of an ecosystem. For example, the presence of mayflies indicates good water quality, since poor water quality disrupts part of their lifecycle. Similarly, corporations supporting good things indicates that they feel it is profitable to do so. It indicates the state of public sentiment, and I don't see how that's anything but good news.
Same with Harris (indirectly) endorsing Mamdani: Maybe she's just bending with the wind, but it's good news because of the way the wind is blowing.
Older than Gen Z, but started hating the U.S. when I was their age. All talk about "freedom," but the moment you try to do something different than the crowd, some people will non-figuratively threaten to murder you.
Remember who? I don't know who Farley Burke is or was.
e: Oh, Charly. I misheard. I will gladly honor the sacrifice of Ensign Charly Burke.
There it is... Best comment I'll read all day.
Aww, 1990's memes give me the warm-fuzzies. We can't have the economic prosperity anymore, but we can still pretend that men are all simple-minded goons and women don't like sex.
That was Herbert Kornfeld, in Accounts Reeceevable at Midstate Office Supply, a regular columnist for The Onion in the early years.
