My birthday is New Years Eve. I wholeheartedly agree NYE is overrated.

2022-04-16 16:28:37 +0000 UTCHigher education is badly implemented. 1. It's a commodity that is focused on capitalism. 2. The first couple of years are primarily spent learning what the previous 4 were. It's not integrated with high school the way it is in the UK. 3. Most of the information is dumped after people finish the class. Most of the what people take away is only for their job. Essentially, people turn it into an overrated trade school. 1st Amendment. The problem is people think the right to free speech is the right to be heard and the limits on speech are anything they don't like. Before the fall of the USSR, we had an enemy to focus on. After the fall, it seems the Cold War paranoia found a new target: Americans that don't think the same. Read "Invisible Women." The default in almost everything is white male, and he's not even very representative.
