Fwiw, it was absolutely fine - people don't cook "groceries", they cook food. Then they mostly eat "meals", or sometimes food there too. Groceries implies buying them though.
And even if they do accept every single credit, it may still not be all the required material, due to differences of what precise set of subjects were taught in the community college course vs. the exact class at that 4-year university that it is attempting to substituting for.
Someone will have better luck with courses further away from the path to the major degree than those that are closer to it.
Reading the comment sections for some of those places online makes it tempting to want to abandon faith in humanity - people be out there saying things like "I didn't bring nothin but damn them bc they wouldn't help me out", and I'm like "bish, you want them to BREAK THE LAW!?" I get it, nobody'a perfect and I've made many mistakes, but why go online after the fact and brag about that!? 😜
I feel bad for the workers that have to put up with all the crap that isn't their fault. Even if the law itself were stupid, it's not like they personally wrote it or anything?! 😔
Similar with airline workers - they are so exhausted, and if you ever talk with them every single one has told me how they work not just double but as many triple shifts as they can. I don't fly often but when I do I try to reassure them that I get it - a computer issue or whatever isn't their fault.
If you enjoy that, I highly recommend the series Altered Carbon, as it takes those concepts and pumps them up on steroids.
The Rich live literally forever - technically that's like illegal or whatever but meh they exist above the law, and I mean as in literallyabove the law, where they exist in sky castles floating above the Earth, those who haven't migrated to the stars that is.
And occasionally they get bored and do things like hire prostitutes - not for sex, mind you, but to murder them. What thrill could be more enjoyable than something nonconsensual, to someone who has the power to extract consent from more or less anyone at any time?
And if their bodies ever die, they just 3D print a new one and keep going, using the latest backup of their mind drive.
The Poors ofc can afford none of this, so it's like the Elves in Lord Of The Rings who are immortal, immune to poisons, and have magic, compared to the short lives of humans that bloom for a handful of decades and then are gone. In LOTR btw, I don't know if you know the secret backstory of that, but elves are "attuned" to the Earth - and so like when they die their souls travel across the sea to the West, spend iirc one century without a body for purification, then are allotted a new body and keep right on going, on the same Earth just on the Western rather than Eastern continent.
Whereas humans were meant to flower and then die, and then go somewhere else that was such a closely guarded secret that even the essentially angel generals were not told, just "the next world". I feel like that's an essential tidbit bc otherwise the elves are flat better than humans in every way - and it's bc they are, at least in terms of being highly optimized for this current world. Humans are so pathetic in comparison only bc they are optimized more for the next one, although nobody (even Gandalf, or even Sauron) knows quite what that means.
Though Sauron was aware of at least this much, hence when he told the humans that the Creator, Eru Ilúvatar, had made them with the express point that they would die quickly, he was lying - not as in positively stating falsehoods but rather in selectively choosing the truths that he wanted them to be aware of. And then by getting them angry, he got them to do as he pleased.
Doesn't this sound familiar? "BuT bOtH siDeS sAmE tHo"?!
Sci Fi and fantasy has so much to teach us. Like not to be gullible assholes.
And maybe we will go to space? But when that happens it won't be anything at all like Star Trek, and rather until we get some shit sorted out, it will be more like Spaceship Troopers or Altered Carbon. Or unfortunately quite likely, Star Wars.
I mean, while that is a true statement, he in particular has been allowed to get away with saying some VERY anti-capitalist takes, and moreover TikTok itself is somewhat known for selectively altering what content is fed to people as well - e.g. more vs. less "attractive" people. So while I'm not arguing against your statement, I'm saying there seems more to that story:-).
I mean that's fine (and understandable), though with so much to choose from, at least pick something that makes sense! (Like metric system, healthcare, time-off especially after pregnancies, etc.)
