I wish to live a calm, quiet life. Similar to that of a wizard in his tower. I want to gather knowledge for the sake of it. Because it's fun. Because if someone accidentally wanders into my tower, I may be able to guide them in the right direction.

I've seen many "I used to look up to you" or "I told you he was a ___" or "How does he have such a large audience" posts about this.
I saw a "he's a right-wing reactionary retard".
So much for "free choice" and "open and honest discussions"

After that the entire rest of the program is centered around the singular goal of implementing practical solutions to a business problem/s from scratch. Only way you pass is if those problems gets resolved. Maybe a tiered problem system. Like game levels up till the final boss.

Mind you this doesn't mean I'm correct. Maybe I've got the whole thing wrong. At this time I don't think that's the case. I just don't like seeing people suffer unnecessarily. It's very painful to only be able to watch as someone self implodes...

I played through Ghost of Tsushima recently and it made me interested in a few different things, including archery with a recurve or longbow. I may start taking a look more seriously.
I now have the urge to learn swordsmanship and archery, write some poetry, and perhaps play the flute.

I've been attempting to watch social dynamics like these play out on here for a while. I don't believe many people are actually "friends" when the rubber hits the road. If this is the reaction to minor disagreements, then I'd hate to see if something actually serious happened.

Memorizing arbitrary textbook paragraphs due to the lack of homework implementations for those subjects.
I tried using external resources for some of the subjects during the courses, but found that most of the jargon was specific to the textbook we used so nothing translated.

Dropping out is usually done due to a forcing function of a thing you've built gaining so much traction that the tradeoff is somewhat obvious. Being delusional is a corollary not an indicator.

It's possible to learn a decent amount of the basics of a domain space, but you won't achieve any noteable proficiency. It's goes from "I know nothing about this" to "I'm AWARE of about 80% of the basic things in this space".

Based. Had a similar (less serious) bullying issue for a bit in middle school. School's response: "It's just boys being boys, he doesn't understand what he's doing". My parents basically gave me the green light to "defend myself". Never came to it but I'll always remember that.

Husbands are on top of the situation, but wives will get to the bottom of the situation if the husband isn't actually on top of said situation.
A tale as old as time...
why did no one, until me, have the idea of referring to husbands as tops and wives as bottoms as a gesture of inclusion
