81·2 months agoEvery single city community group in the US has a vocal population that swears the local bus service is filled with nothing but homeless murderers and thieves and that’s why public transit should never be built and will never be used by anyone normal
I’m pretty sure that’s because the hand is holding onto the rest of the sushi roll, not the fish. It’s at least two images photoshopped together, one of a person cutting a sushi roll and one of a fish, with a weird tear added onto it

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?English
5·2 months agoThe only time going to school isn’t worth it is if you’re already burnt out in your job, genuinely have no time to do it, and make so much money that adding university classes on top of that isn’t worth the effort or time investment. Having said that, if you need the degree to increase your earning potential, even in your 30s or 40s or whatever, then it’s worthwhile despite all the challenges. My mom got her degree in her 30s and massively increased her earning potential and that has paid off over the decades, and I’m currently getting my degree in my 30s to increase my earning potential as well.
There are remote school options where you don’t need to attend classes so those are much easier to fit into your schedule, and much cheaper, places like Western Governors University.
Visited there last year, but the meme is lying. There is a trail directly to the top of the rock, but it’s unofficial and somewhat dangerous to climb on top. Awesome hike, though

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was DeflatingEnglish
21·3 months agoWhat the business wants and what they say they want are two completely different things. They still want people to be able to think and solve their own problems, even if they end up assigning the praise for your hard work on the AI you only pretended to use

Television@piefed.social•Vince Gilligan’s ‘Pluribus’ Sets Record For Biggest Apple TV Drama Series LaunchEnglish
2·3 months agoSo far, the 2025 box office (top 200 movies) has made $17B compared to 2024’s total of $22B or 2022’s total of $21B. However, most of the largest movies of the year have not released yet, including Zootopia 2, Wicked: For Good (actually releasing tonight), Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, a new Spongebob Squarepants movie, Hamnet with Pedro Pascal, Rental Family with Brendan Frasier, and the new Avatar: Fire and Ash (and a bunch of other movies). https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/2025/
Anecdotally, I’ve enjoyed a lot of the movies this year, namely Bugonia. Angel’s Egg also got a 4k remaster and release in the US this week.

WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•Ladies, why do or don't you have kids?English
8·3 months agoMaternal instincts make me want to have kids I guess, but I want to be a positive influence and figure in others’ lives. If I could help a child grow up well, I would be very happy.
Since my girlfriend and I can’t have biological children, I’ve been looking into becoming foster parents. I think that’s still a few years away from doing it seriously since we would want to move to a more stable place (i.e. not renting)

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.English
4·4 months agoThe Shinkansen network in Japan was infamously extremely expensive and during its construction, many Japanese hated it and doubted it would ever amount to much. Today, it is held up as the best public transit system ever created.
Here in Seattle, the Link Light Rail system is also extremely expensive, though this is due to many factors, notably the fact that between the time the project got started and initially set its funding goals, the Covid pandemic happened and massive inflation, both in currency and in raw materials. However, the lines that are finished are extremely nice. The Link system is shaping up to be some of the best in the entire US, and the biggest and most important section hasn’t even opened yet: the world’s first rail line to travel across a floating bridge. Once the bridge section is complete, it will connect the two separate systems on the west and east sides of Lake Washington into one system and allow fast, efficient transit from the east side into downtown Seattle.
Anyway, my point is that just because a system is expensive, doesn’t mean it’s bad. I think you’re just furthering car-centric propaganda and reinforcing the belief that public transit is expensive and therefore bad
