Yes, I'm not a goldfish.

When was the last time you've heard a non-black person described as articulate? I can't think of any, personally.

Plenty. Here is perhaps the most recent: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/scope-practice/...

But of course, nobody cares. The rich will get MDs and the poor will get midlevels.

Exactly this. The VA already is hiring as many midlevels (NP/PA) as possible so that they don't have to hire MDs. You wouldn't believe how low the bar is to become an NP. PAs receive substantially better training, but at the end of the day they are still midlevels.

Worse still, many NP programs are now giving out "doctorates" of nursing practice so that NPs can introduce themselves to the patient as "Dr." Smith.

In short, the VA is willing to gamble with your life if it means saving a few bucks. It's pretty harrowing.

Willing to bet that the kind of person who holds views like the commenter above also harbors racist views

ie, white?

What differentiates a course as "high school" level vs. college? I honestly feel like my high school courses were just as hard as my college courses. The only difference is they required the prerequisite knowledge from the high school courses. Or, at least, having that knowledge helped.

> It was pretty normal to come out of freshman year engineering, CS, or chemistry with a sub-2.75 GPA

Was it normal, or was that just what you and your friend group experienced? Is there any hard data?

I find it hard to believe that a 2.75 GPA would be anything but the bottom 10% or less of students.

Actually, that’s exactly how unfettered “free market” capitalism operates. The end game is big companies end up controlling everything, including the regulations in order to tip the scales in their favor.

Went from being the golden child of /r/wallstreetbets (literally every portfolio screenshot was of robin hood) to being villainized due to suspicious circumstances regarding locking people out of trading Gamestop "for their own good." Now any screenshot of robin hood is ridiculed.

Pretty liberal use of the word "game"

This product is uniquely appealing to me because as a kid, I actually used to type almost completely with one hand at 40 wpm using my right hand solely for the backspace, enter, shift, and space keys. The only reason I stopped and learned how to use both hands to type was that my left hand started getting arthritis-like symptoms as a 10th grader.

Unfortunately, my hand hurts just looking at the example in the promotional video I found. I don't see how you could hold your hand up at that angle like that and not end up straining it. However, I'd love to be wrong.
