Kind of a stupid decision to call something pre-currency and pre-codified laws “anarcho communist”.

It’d be like calling something born before animal life “vegan” because it doesn’t eat animals.

Technically correct, maybe, but very much missing the point of the label.

Dictation software has come a long way huh

The people who made the casting choice were told by Disney they couldn’t cast either, it was that or get replaced by someone else who would play ball.

It’s ridiculous to expect them to remove themselves from a multimillion dollar project that would get done anyway with or without them.

Eh, they weren’t happy about it but were caught between a rock and a hard place, I can sympathise.

The only one of these that is remotely acceptable, to me, is Tilda Swindon, because they explicitly detached themselves from the character to avoid getting shat on by the CCP for casting a Tibetan and from Americans for casting a Chinese person.

The others are all crap, IMO.

Every time a character is <color>washed we lose the chance to be exposed to global actors that would fit their profile.

Tbf most could do it for cheaper with a dartboard and some post-its

Meh, I can see that, my dad is the same way, the trick is he hardly uses one and treats it like an OSHA situation when he’s operating it.

TBH it’s not the worst habit to have.

I think every single person on lemmy might have posted in the thread. Hello, Montagge!

Unironically? No, not at the level of university. In highschool you are basically being babysat while they teach you. You’ll be quizzed periodically and steered and told when you’re falling behind.

In college/uni that’s just you having to have or get your shit together and self-manage all that.

It makes a world of difference.

In my mind there are 2 reasons why someone should go to higher education:

• You want a career that requires a specific degree, and the pay will be worth the extra years of investment and essentially a delayed start in life.

• You are genuinely curious about the subject and want to learn it for the sake of learning it.

Great if you get both in the same subject but otherwise pick your price point.

No point in going to Harvard for something you have no way or intention to monetize later down the line.
