I agree, but on the other side there are a lot of degrees that are arguably a swindle of young peoples future money. Some degrees just shouldn't exist as they have zero post grad value in reality.
I would agree, but caveat it that while the degree/major may go away, most of the classes should still be available. I would think that getting a degree in sociology with a minor or focus on gender studies, would provide better future employment options while still having a focus someone desires. Now honestly, not sure how great employment is for a sociology degree, but with that it has to be better not to be incredibly limited in what the degree says.
But this is just a Dad who has kids going to college who wants them to find a path to success so they can return home to visit and not need to live with us full time.

I feel like such a shitbag because it can come off as disrespectful.
One time I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a while, didn't remember their name, and they called me out on it. I apologized and off the cuff said "Your face is who you are, your name was just something given to you." I think they took it as a compliment, which was the intention.
I remember stories but struggle mightily with names. I have read books about remembering names and tried to use the methodologies they talk about, but just can't make it work. However, when I meet someone I will later remember all the details they discussed about their life, job, family etc...but name....nope.
Also the "Inner Monologue" described in the original video does not really do mine justice. I don't have ADHD, and I can be very focused on task or actions or projects. But for me when I pull back from a task oriented work my mind just goes. I argue (internally) different sides of an argument or question, or work to defend a position. If not that then I make up stories or comedy routines or anything. For dreams, I can't remember the last dream I had. I have had some, but I just don't wake up and remember them.
I also find myself to be very good company.

I’ll also add when your wife tries to start carrying a conversation during the game or asks you to do things when you’re sitting and watching. I would even allow for ‘at the next commercial’ but I don’t even get that.
I mean, it’s Saturday in the fall. Read the room. I ask for so little yet me sitting on the couch during the day must trigger her,
A woman cannot abide a content man.

We don't disagree at all. None of that is the topic of this thread. I don't know what you expect of me. Yeah, we (the US gov't and US corps) prop up and support some of the worst people in the world and nobody ever talks about it, especially in Western media, which is kind of my whole beef.
The knock is not that there is no truth to the meme, the knock is the guy who would sooner spit on any Muslim than talk to one is posting that meme purely to deflect from the Israeli government's actions, not because he gives a flying fuck about how many people MBS slaughters with our blessing.
But the “meme” clearly showed a Muslim woman who did not care with the implication that the Muslim world did not care. Not Westerners or Americans. And the Meme is spot on.

It is a weird flex.
“You see, my school has so little redeeming value and such an embarrassing reputation that the only people who can root for it are those that went there! Your school however is so well thought of you have tons of fans who never even went there! Take that stupid ‘Sip.”

If we were truly serious as a species about preventing their use, the consequences for possessing them would be much more severe. Instead there are more countries than ever that possess them, and I don't believe the number is going to go down any time soon. Especially with the lesson learned from Ukraine.
"Here, give us the nuclear weapons you currently possess, and in return we'll give you this piece of paper where several of us make very serious assurances about your sovereignty. We'll even pinky swear."
You mean like Ukraine did when they relinquished all their nukes to Russia for concessions and agreement of sovereignty? Not sure the lesson learned from this is to give up your nukes and it will make your country more secure.

I was at a pretty decent restaurant. Went to the bathroom to take a piss. Doing my thing and I turn around and this dude is right behind me. Mind you there’s two open toilets but he’s waiting for the stall. Are you not supposed to pee in the toilet? It was awkward and creepy
Well dropping your pants and underwear to your ankles while at the urinal does seem a little like an invitation.

This morning, in an accusatory tone, out of completely fucking nowhere: "are you usually buying organic?"
Me, totally perplexed: "what?"
"When you go to the store are you usually buying organic?"
"Yes, I know you like organic fruit so that's what I buy. Why are you asking?"
"The grapes were not organic."
"Then why didn't you just ask me why I bought non-organic grapes? The organic grapes looked crappy."
"Because I didn't want to ask about the grapes. I wanted to ask about everything. The fruit lasted all week and looked good and I wanted to know if it was organic. I wasn't attacking you. Why do you get so defensive?"
What I thought: "I could, right now, probably write down 25 different ways to ask that question about organic fruit that made sense and were not judgmental, but that would be a total waste of time because your brain is completely screwed up."
What I said: "I have no idea. I'm going to go brush my teeth."
I hope this indicates an impending visit from Aunt Flow. If not, good luck.

“Sociology Degree Salary in California. $57,700 is the 25th percentile. Salaries below this are outliers. $81,900 is the 75th percentile.“
So starting salary for sociology degree is 25th percentile. That is bottom 25th. Not saying job is “worthless” or you can’t make a good salary with it, but my education and social circles makes me believe that 25% is below average.
However, my real point was that Sociology with a minor in Gender Studies (as an example) is a better way to have similar education while providing better opportunities as “The typical early career salary for someone with a bachelor’s degree in gender studies is $28,707, and within five years of graduation, this average salary goes up to $47,704.”
So I was encouraging people to get Sociology degrees with minors/focus as I believe it provides greater options and opportunities. This is in light of the removal of degrees from the OP discussion.
Sorry if my original point was unclear causing you to get defensive and jump into personal ad hominem attacks.
