Your point about pursuing a trade or other technical is good, but I think you're giving not enough credit to normal colleges.

Elon musk has an arts degree. I'm not using his name as some sort of "he's a genius". I'm just letting you know that his degree is highly technical, but it's also an arts degree and not a science degree. Technically it has a lot of science base.

When I went to school I got all the way to my last 12 credit hours and I had a choice between chemistry and political science. I chose political science as a bachelor of science degree. I can go to any other school I want to and do a single year come out with a chemistry degree.

A lot of college is what you make it and you can take your core credits any way you want. If you choose to do what I did and take most of your core credits in physics and calculus, then you can come out of it with a very strong basis for a stem degree. If however, you choose to go in and do most of your core credits in literature and history then yeah you're going to have a hard time transitioning to stem after that.

Yeah man have them get their liberal arts degree and then they can go to an engineering school and pick up the last 12 hours. I mean that's the point of a university, right? Is it a uniting force of several colleges so that a broad base of study can be completed by students who want various disciplines?

Talk about permissive – indulgent parenting. I can't imagine if I could give my kid a free ride to a good public university and they declined because they didn't want to go to that specific school. So they sign off on several tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

I can't wait till they look into their auto mechanics program and realize that brakes have a master cylinder and slave cylinders.

To say that they are just as many smart people in the enlisted cohort as in any other population division is definitely incorrect.

Hell it's even provable why the numbers. Grab an infantry squad and check their GT scores now go to I don't know like an ivy league school. Grab some doctoral candidates and Give them the ASVAB and check their GT scores.

Trust me bro, that's the part of the army you want to actually be in when it comes down to it

The 3d in these setups have nowhere near the depth of a vr headset.

This has been some for years. And already seen it. To "see" it, just got watch an active 3d tv and pretend like you aren't wearing the glasses or okay a 3ds and think about if the screen were bigger.

They do have the same (wind)screen technology.

I thought it was Death Takes A Holiday.

Why couldn't this happen when I was stationed over there!?

How is this not sacrilegious??

His POE Purity of essence

As an American, our mid 1700's military history is pretty crowded. No room for some not even regionally impactful war.

The economy DID end after the industrial revolution.

For many, it went from a subsistence based living where barter and trade of different staple goods and textiles among small to mid sized communities where leisure was often a shared activity among the different houses and organized by those houses or local governments.

That economy died and was replaced by one where a specific specialized or basic labor was performed at a business for wages in cash. That cash was used to buy staples, textiles, and leisure from other businesses.

There isn't a point in maintaining elements of another socioeconomic system in the chance we need to change in the future. As it is now things are scarce, but they may not always be scarce. However, we don't retain elements of utopia for that chance.

When you are taking about needs being met, as long as whatever energy breakthrough that gives us abundance functions and there is federalized planning, resources production can be shifted as needed to fill regular gaps in the system.

Each system has methods of patching itself (we have subsidization and state welfare systems etc). There is no reason to think a future system we adopt won't have any. If that's the case, why would it be opted?

Asimov was right. We'll only have the bathrooms left.

This has been documented on camera. The verbage is purely legalese.

I'll have water. Cock fills me up.

He was there. They needed a bad guy with a knife to balance it out. it's all about balance.

Go home camel. You're drunk.
