My university campus had one class/office building that looked really out of place. It was up on large “stilts”, 2 of which were stairwells leading up to the bulding. The “ground floor” of the building was about 2 stories off the ground.

One of the department heads who had been there basically forever explained to me that the design was due to being built during the wave of 1970s student protests which often involved occupying buildings, and this would allow police/security to more easily defend the building because they only had to secure 2 stairwells.

No, the idea that unvaccinated people cause problems is stupid. Vaccinated people are protected from the virus (vaccines do not protect others around you), vaccinated people are the ones that incubate mutations unknowingly thanks to a lack of symptoms. This is how all vaccines have always worked and I'll not be convinced that all of biology has changed for one stupid virus. I'm vaccinated, but I'm realistic about it and I think the demonization and dehumanization of people who choose not to vaccinate is disgusting and evil and based on literal lies that do not match the decades of vaccine science and research that have been established.

The biggest differences to my memory between the EU and US is that the US is much stricter on requiring sub-ingredients to be listed as well as how additives are labeled.

So to use >>16545588 as an example, the US label requires specifying that cheddar cheese contains cultured milk, salt, enzymes, and annatto, whereas the EU would allow it to just say "cheddar cheese" and leave it at that. Dumb people then overreact about it and think the American version must be more processed or have extra additives when what's really happening is the EU just isn't being strict about each ingredient label defining compound ingredients and cheddar cheese is simply made of those things but one label tells you and the other label just assumes you don't need to know.

For the other additives that do need labeling in both regions, the US requires putting the actual common chemical compound names on the label for clarity to the consumer, but the EU instead has these "E" numbers which can be looked up in an online database to find out what the additive actually is. In my experience, this leads people to believe the American products are "full of chemicals" while the EU products appear to be more uniformly "approved" and "official" and therefore more trustworthy because of the uniform number system. Again, it's just dumb people being scared by scientific names and ironically putting more trust in the more obfuscated system because it's less intimidating at face value.

It's telling that most of the lanes are dedicated to mobile orders.
The fastfood industry would prefer customers who have cellphones, credit cards, and either a car or food delivery app. Cashless mobile ordering is the Western version of having a good social credit score.

You can't setup vending machine style automation in the ghetto because 'low social credit score' people will vandalize, scam, and steal without any repercussions. This new design is a good first step to filter out people who throw a wrench in automation.

[Anonymous No.16546318]

>>16546294
I tried mobile ordering 1 time and I'll never do it again. I assumed the way mobile orders worked was that they would prepare my food, set it aside, and walk it straight out when I pulled up. What I found out is that they don't even begin assembling the order until you park and check in. So even though you're ordering in advance AND paying in advance, when you pull up and check in your order just goes into the queue and you have to watch a bunch of drive-thru customers get their food before you and wait just as long to actually receive the food. That's when I realized that the drive-thru is just as fast and with no hassle of apps and other bullshit, so I'll never bother with mobile ordering for the rest of my life.

I like fast food but I cannot get into Taco Bell. About 1-2 times a year I’ll get Taco Bell and my wife always warns me that I never like it so don’t do it. I invariably go, get a bunch of different items while being impressed by the menu diversity and cheap cost.

Then I start eating and everything tastes like bland, soft dog food and the hot sauces everyone raves about don’t even make it that much more palatable. I end up throwing out some of the half-eaten food (which I NEVER do normally) and tell my wife “next time I say I want Taco Bell, remind me it is shit and I don’t really want it”

6-12 months later the cycle repeats.

I’d clarify by saying “the fewer incompetent fast food employees who manage to frequently screw up simple orders I have to deal with, the better”.
I have no problem dealing with people in places where service is great, or at least manages to present you with what you ask for. I’m fine with chic-fil-a, and even McDonald’s/BurgerKing/TacoBell/etc in places like Japan.

I didn’t grow up eating Taco Bell much so it was a bit of a rare treat when I had it. Then I lived in a town where there was no Taco Bell. This created unrealistic expectations and rose-tinted nostalgia that was really hard to shake hence my repeated mistake of going there.

They dress up the generic meat slop in so many different ways it’s easy to forgot that the base of the menu is shit. I usually only get hamburgers or chicken burgers at fast food places so getting tacos and other Taco Bell monstrosities is novel and appealing. Combined with how cheap it is the result is me being cast under their spell 1-2 times a year.

Now I live in a small city with no Taco Bell, the closest one is almost 2 hours away. So I thankfully haven’t made this mistake since I moved here. But now that I found out there is one 2 hours away I’m intrigued and will probably make the same mistake when I’m in that area.

>Cashless mobile ordering is the Western version of having a good social credit score.
this is very evocative. yet somehow it just may be true.
I hope so at this point. In late 2019 or so, I picked up a daily McDick's Breakfast Drivethru habit. Every morning. Always mobile-ordered. Honestly it's so wonky, sometimes it's made such a bigger hassle than even trying to communicate through the speaker. "Mobile Order Machine Broke", would be the joke. But when it works, it works seamlessly, I don't have to describe my order and hope they don't fuck it up or ignore my customizations. No conversation, just "Mobile order? Second window" "Here you go" "Thank you very much!" and I'm out.

The real Western-social-credit-score to me is, faang-corps keeping shadowlists of everyone who uses racial slurs or discusses forms of anti-neoliberal radicalism in the vicinity of their smartspeakers. If you treat the voice-assistants rude or venomously, I feel like they become obstinate, they "mishear" you, they don't complete your voice commands as quickly or accurately when you call them cocksuckers.

I’m in my 30s but a few friends still have this Peter Pan mentality and just cannot commit to anything: a career, relationship, family, you name it. They go through cycles involving a sort of manic ambitious phase where they want to do better and start making plans but fast forward a week or two later and they are back to their normal go-nowhere drudgery. That’s okay if you’re in your early 20s but not mid-30s.

But I sort of understand this mentality and I sometimes think how I could have easily fallen into these traps. I am still a product of my generation and battle with my narcissism and sense of entitlement but at least I’m quite self-aware. While my friends were being the proverbial grasshoppers I decided it was time to have at it and worked my ass off through grad school. While they were having more fun I was working like a dog from my masters to PhD to postdoc.

Now I have a family, 6-figure salary, house and a job that gives me a lot of pleasure, freedom and satisfaction. Life is not perfect, it never will be, but I thank god that I decided to put down the beer/joint and start working towards something despite all the peer pressure. Now when I look at how some of my friends and old peers are doing it’s pretty clear what having a plan and following through can get you vs just drifting along.

Their brains have been fried, unfortunately. TV, school, and now social media telling them 24/7 that it's OK to be a deadbeat and that somehow things will work out. The point in life when you're about to graduate HS and deciding what post-secondary education you want to go for is the most important part of a person's life and it's treated as no big deal by most people. They just pick a random humanities field because it sounds cool, not thinking that there are 100k people coming out with that degree every single year. Then they take student loans out to drift into this fantasy world. They expect that, upon graduation, they will be able to join the extremely niche field they studied and have a comfortable life.

Finally, when reality hits, when they have to pay both rent and student loans and they can't get anything beyond a menial job, they go one of two routes. The worst of them lash out. Not at everyone who told them they were doing everything right, but at capitalism, personified (in their eyes) by people who made good choices and worked hard to secure a good life for themselves. Many outwardly say they want to kill anyone who owns property or has a positive net worth. The rest of them likewise blame society for their circumstance, but they only ever vent about it on places like twitter and reddit. IRL, they just carry on thinking that, somehow, it will work out one day, smoking weed, working a McJob, etc.

College is now high school 2.0 and many people just assume they have to go to college and go on auto-pilot. They don't think about things like job markets, employability, career options or anything like that. Four years of wasted time, money and experience later and they realize their piece of paper means little. Or they don't realize it at all and continue on autopilot into the path of mediocrity. Either way they lash out and externalize all blame as you described.

I have 10 years of post-secondary education and 2 years of postdoc experience and I will tell my kids to only go to college if they have a solid plan with an end goal (career) in mine and/or real passion for their field of study. Why waste four years of your life when you could be gaining experiences and money that directly benefit you in the short and long term?

Academia worked for me but that's because I was struck with ambition, passion and an intense drive at some point. I knew the odds were against me in some respects so I hustled like mad and in the end it paid off (or at least is paying off now). I could have just as easily been a perpetual mediocre grad student/postdoc who wonders why the professorship or great job I'm entitled to hasn't fallen into my lap yet.

I've learned a lot about personal responsibility and ambition over the last 10+ years and while we are entitled to nothing and nothing is guaranteed, you can increase your chances at a good life if you put in the effort and act with some planning and intelligence. People want to blame the system or the bootstraps meme or white colonialism or whatever other reason on why they haven't succeeded, but in most cases it is by their own hand.

America's problem is unique in world history because they don't produce anything, at all. There is no industry (secondary sector) and the primary sector is all automated away with machinery. The only thing remaining is either make-work McJobs or highly educated knowledge work, which obviously not everyone is cut out for. Even during the fucking collapse of the Yuan dynasty, 50 million people died, but the Hongwu Emperor could make the survivors go back to tilling the soil in small villages.

This is so true it hurts. I remember when I was in high school I thought college was this thing people went to when they already knew a lot about a specific field and wanted to really master it. Then I learned that half of college is just repeating what you learned in high school and all the field-specific courses start out at rock-fucking-bottom. It was extremely disenchanting and I just said, "Fuck college, I'll learn on my own," and got a job working for a local industrial computer company based on only my self-guided experience with electronics. It didn't pay quite as well as if I had a college degree, but I got to start working 4 years sooner than everyone else I knew and had no loans to pay back so I was still way ahead and continue to be. College is a scam as far as I'm concerned, and so is the over-requiring of college degrees for every job.

>>16547594
This is why college shouldn't be forced on people and trades need to be more seriously discussed as a viable career option.

I think few young people have genuine (non-ephemeral) passions which is why the focus should be on picking a field of study that will result in a career that will be lucrative, productive and satisfying. And of course it should be something that they show a predisposition and aptitude for, not send every young person off on an unrealistic quest of failure.

The ideas of passion and vocations are thrown around so much that they are now watered down and taken for granted: we've taught kids that they should never settle for less and to only pursue "their passion" when for most that means having fun and eschewing work and responsibilities. I would say most people do not have passions that can be realistically translated into employment so our ideals and fantasies should always be tempered with reality, especially when talking about teenagers and people in early adulthood.

My passion ignited around the age of 21 and I followed it naively throughout the last years of my undergrad and my MSc. Then I realized if I wanted to get a job in my field I needed to finally step up to the competition and stop pretending I wasn't part of the game. So I kept pursuing my passion but also took a healthy dose of pragmatism and threw away any notions that I deserved a good career because I was going to have a piece of paper or because I loved what I did.

We're sabotaging younger generations and ourselves by teaching that compromise is bad, we are all innately perfect and we are entitled to the best. We have to recall our natural instincts and natural law and stoke a fire under our asses. Or if they are mediocre/submediocre, show them that just working hard at a decent job and supporting a family and getting joy out of life is a noble and enriching path too.

I think the answer is to make degrees limited based on what is feasibly needed in the nation. No more 100k psych graduates coming out every year (a true number), only enough seats spread around the country that are needed. Right now universities are profiting huge by duping dumb kids into thinking they can all become professors of interpretive arts or some other extremely niche BS, and kids eat it up because those are very easy degrees to get. Make it limited to what is needed and force severe competition for the few seats that are there - this will not only solve the deadbeat problem, but also make sure the few people in those fields are the best of the best.

I was a TA for a few years and that had a big role in me shedding some of my academic ideals. I used to think everyone should go to college to better themselves and because an educated population is better etc etc. Then I met some of the students and realized college is most definitely NOT for everyone and in fact is probably not for the majority. This is not to say most people are not intelligent enough and for me to put on airs about how us academics are superior. It's that for most people their degree will not result in much better employment, happiness or productivity and they are treating it as a social thing and not actively and consciously preparing for their future. I wasn't a serious student for the first couple years because I treated it like high school 2.0, I never thought much beyond the next semester and was mostly having fun. I know this feeling and mindset intimately.

I don't know why we are encouraging everyone down this path. They could get into a trade or business and, instead of just having a piece of paper and some connections and education 4 years later, have four years of work experience and income.

Instead we have people burning four years of money, lost income and time with not much to show for it. They'll be slow to find a career and start a family later in life. It's actually quite bad for our demographics and I don't think young people are any happier today than they were 50 years ago. All colleges play games and some are scammier than others. But it's not just the colleges that are to blame but the well-meaning parents and glorification of The College Experience. And instead of entering The Real World you can continue high school for another four years but this time with more freedom and fun. Who wouldn't say yes to this especially young people who naturally aren't thinking about their careers, future families and retirement?

All this and more is why I, someone with 10 years of post-secondary education and an academic, will not push my kids into college unless they show an aptitude, have a plan and/or have a unique burning passion (which is not common).

If one of my kids wants to be a heavy machinery operator or electrician and becomes great at what he does and is able to have a comfortable happy life why would I not want this for them? Ideally they would have this and be passionate at their job and be at the top of their game whatever that may be. I don't want them to be mediocre (no parent sees their kids in this light) but even if they are than that still isn't the worst thing in the world.
