Mine is that we should let people humanely end their lives whenever they choose to, no questions asked. I don't understand this need to keep everyone alive who doesn't want to be. Life is fucking hard as it is to have depression, and on top of that, be forced to deal with all of this every day in misery.

I already went through depression and it was awful, but now that I don't have it, I don't really find life any more appealing than before. I still often wonder, do I really want to live through this shit for the next 40 fucking years?

I'm not a fan of how the post titles compete with the neon bars for my attention, but otherwise it looks nice.

Sometimes people share things and the copyright was already removed. Whatever it was, the attribution is right there. Do we really need to turn into assholes without considering the possibilities?

Yes, and they will let you know. "I'm a Republican and I'm gay curious".

The Grindr server crashed on two separate Republican conventions and I've been seeing closeted republican men on Craigslist trolling for cock since the beginning of time. Do you need more evidence?

It’s as good as college

No, it's not. I've heard this line from a few conspiracy and woo groups like flat-Earthers and Pleiadians. I'm not saying you are one of those folks, but those are the people who are most vocal about the idea. They believe that just because the information is presented, they'll become the experts for passively consuming it. But since they've never been to school beyond high school, they're missing the entire school context, the study culture, the discipline, the challenges to prove your knowledge, the hands-on experience, the contents of the lectures from the point of view of top professionals, and the guidance that a university offers.

There may be a few prodigies out there who really learn the material on their own, and that's amazing. But for the typical person, the effort and perseverance required is so demanding that they won't realistically stick with it before it becomes incredibly overwhelming and tedious, especially while on a platform known for its distractions.
