71·2 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
21·2 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

10·3 months agoMost leases these days specifically do not accept cash. However, I believe in most states, they are required by law to accept bank transfers without a fee.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.English
4·3 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

AskUSA@discuss.online•Have you considered emigrating from the US? If so, where to?English
2·4 months agoI’ve visited before, yes, and I know exactly what you mean lol. I felt the same way when I was there, the freedom of movement and quality of life about everything is so incredible that you just have to experience it yourself to believe it. I think visiting with my partner would help, but that’s a lot of money at a relatively short timescale to prepare in case things get really bad. We could do it, but…
What’s the Discord you’re using to learn Dutch? I’ve actually been “learning” for a few years just using Duolingo and I’ve been pretty lazy over the last year so I’ve stalled. Netherlands was actually always my goal before I even started dating my partner, which is partly contributing to our problems I think.

2·4 months agoI feel this strongly. My partner is very resistant to moving to the Netherlands despite the many, many reasons that doing so would be better than staying in the US





And yet people like you still can’t commit to such an easy ask
