"The Adventures Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" 1984

Great script, great cast, young Johnathan Lithgow and Christopher Llyod, Peter Weller in one of his best rolls, and bonus Jeff Goldblum as they new guy.

Whole thing is still a perfect package, looking like a B movie you'd totally skip.

Stuck between reporting this as a spam post and declaring AI self-help the next great copy-pasta trend.

This isn't even bad advice, it's just long AF and in shitposts. I guess he's shitposting us back with arguably useful information? I'm confused.

That's a bit of a misunderstanding, US Colleges have a bit of catch up period in the first year or 2 of study where you are both getting some exposure to your new topic but also ensuring your prior education is on par with everyone else. We call these "general education requirements" or "gen ed" and it's because high school graduation isn't well standardized across the states. Most students can test at the start of College or show their high school work and skip some of the basic writing and math classes to the next level. These "gen ed" classes ensure every student at the school has a basic level of reading, writing, and maths to base the rest of their work on. The amount of these other classes you have to take, is based on your major so for example people majoring in Teaching have more than other majoring in Engineering based on the logic a teacher needs a broader education in everything than an engineer will.

It does sometimes result in odd situations like my Uncle who couldn't pass a general education language course in his non-native language (Spanish for him) and so was denied a Mathematics Education Degree and needed an extra semester to finish a different mathematics degree that had fewer gen ed requirements.

This all also plays into why US undergraduate degrees are usually 4-5 year programs instead of the shorter degrees tracks in Europe.

That all said, JD has a 4 year degree in Poly-sci and an additional 3 in Law School and he's still a complete moron. Not even Yale could fix that.

Shocked AF that they are on the list at all since they buy their network time from T-Mobile.

Can't find it right now but here was a great comic about giving a dog the power to speak and they said "give me some of that food you are eating" and the humans said "nope, this is our food" and the dog was so betrayed. Obviously if humans just -understood- that dogs wanted human food they would give it, right?

Right?!

Y'all have the whole rest of the Fediverse to not to talk about Reddit. This is the one community that is supposed to discuss it. Fuck off.

As a teen someone repeated the myth that wearing a bra to bed can cause breast cancer, "Say no more!" said I and never did ever again.

If you didn't want to talk about Reddit, you didn't need to come into this community. You can go.

 

I know it's been getting worse but today I feel like Reddit refuses to show me my subscribed subreddits. I'm a member of close to 100 subreddits but my Home page is majority recommended posts and ads and almost no content from my actual communities even though they are very active and have content. I've been doubling down on hiding and "don't show me this again" guy I feel like it's making the problem worse.

Anyone else?

Helpful Advice! (imgflip.com)

I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."
