People should stop using paedophilia and child molestation interchangeably
BF1 campaign is terrible, I don't understand why people were defending it, the campaign was short and generic, and you didn't feel any attachment to the characters. Worst was the pilot, the ending just goes 'huhuh maybe it was all just a dream'
And fury as well, characters are boring as hell, it's just a depressing movie about how ugly war is. Even the battles were quite ridiculous. A shame because it had a good production and set.

I'm not a fan of The Beatles. Maybe it was over exposure when I was growing up, but I got sick of them real fast. I can understand objectively why they're so popular and the impact they had on music, no denying that. But I really can't stand listening to them for any given length of time.

I thought most people thought little of fury.
I haven't seen it myself, but I saw the clip where they fight the tiger, and it's some dumb shit.

I think it depends on what you do, but I was taught nothing I didn't already know doing english literature, and the text books don't offer much.
I spent £27000 on a piece of paper and some time with shit lecturers. Maybe if it wasn't a redbrick, I'd have something, but it's a shitshoot. I had this view from before i went to uni so I knew what to expect, but I'm kinda pissed at how fucking [I]right[/I] I was.
Kaybe if you're doing something you didn't do earlier on, or doing something sciency, you'll find it worth more than a piece of paper. The paper itself doesn't do a good job of summing my capacity for the subject. I know thick shits that got firsts and genius that did terribly. Your grade is more about grind and diligence than ability or knowledge, which I suppose is the real attractor for employers.

According to the college wage premium you're objectively wrong.
Some schools and degrees can lean more on the scam side though, you've gotta go with purpose and think your financials through instead of just going for no reason.
Anything that isn't STEM or law school isn't worth going to uni for.

Something also wrong.
STEM is nowhere near a guarantee of strong hirability and good pay. If you want a job as a straight up mathematician for example, you get to do graduate school, be relatively broke for your education level, and pray you can at least get a decent tenure'd professor position. This actually applies to quite a few sciences.
Of course that can get you into a diverse set of other fields and jobs, but that applies to things people make fun of like liberal arts, philosophy, etc. as well especially if you plan out your classes, internships/work, etc.. You'd be surprised at what companies actually want, and degrees like these can often be crucial to get into social work too.
Basically as I said, people shouldn't blindly stumble into a degree or school (ppl srsly mismanage money here) without knowing what they're getting in to and what the limitations may be. Someone might do an undergrad in philosophy, not do much else on the side, and then realize they hate academia and are kinda fucked. Or in one sentence: follow your passions, but with caution.

I get that some fields in STEM don't garner as much pay as some others, my point was that most fields outside of STEM, and law school are just money pits with high risk and low reward.

Hardly any degree actually has horrible unemployment rates compared to STEM, and many of which also have their unemployment rates fall noticeably with experience/graduate work, all while still often earning decently above or around the median US salary.
Also the inclusion of law school I find quite weird. Law school is usually considered pretty risky, because of its incredibly brutal nature just to get the JD, very high debt that isn't subsidized like Uni education, as well as a very tight job market. There's basically a lot of supply, so much so that many law schools are cutting class sizes.
Calculating risk/reward will give different results. Of course, throwing oneself into 160k of debt because they decided they [I]had[/I] to instantly go to a super-expensive private liberal arts school to get into social work will be a pretty bad idea. But excluding cases like those it's p. much still statistically a great risk to take. And I'm speaking only financially here; there's a lot more to be said when it comes to education itself and job quality.

I hate children, they're basically work and cost so much money over 21 years. Why people want them is a mystery to me.

I'm having a a kid soon. I really can't explain it, but I'm just happy with the prospect of raising another human being to not be an asshole(hopefully) and maybe make an impact on others' lives in a positive way.

It's like cats, really. Biological mind control. Stay strong, brother.
Raising a kid would be interesting and can have its moments of pride and exhilaration
But the fact that the kid will be your most important priority, more than your own life and happiness, for 20+ years, is a deal breaker for me
I'd rather not give up my life and money. I see so many people with kids looking miserable. "Oi Jake, stop pulling your sister's hair or no happy meal"
I think that the public perception of 'hard' and 'soft' sciences, and the assumptions about their validity based on those labels, are stupid and damaging to our understanding of society and the world.

r/childfree is an edgy cesspool. But one term they have right is "mombie."
You can very plainly see a lot of people having the life sucked out of them by their children. Though, that's not a problem with children themselves and usually it's people having children when they aren't ready, mentally or financially.

Very few actual scientists and educated people talk like that at least.
It's just something used by people to disregard evidence in favor of their feelings.

Sounds like soft science talk to me.
People having kids when they're not ready is a very underestimated problem.
If you have unprotected sex and get pregnant when you aren't fit/ready to raise a child, you've made an irresponsible decision. If you give birth to that child months later and you are still unfit to raise them, then you've made two irresponsible decisions.

Placing it to where the receivable TP is closest to the wall is useful for dealing with young kids and cats and the like that might fuck with it, but is practically an objectively inferior placement for everyone else given that you have to reach farther (even if that distance is trivial)
It also just kinda feels worse to handle in general for whatever reason, but that might just be a mental thing
I prefer HITMAN™'s episodic model rather than the standard "here's a game we'll do bugfix updates for and that's all you're getting except for DLC" type thing.
