Social media companies will target teenagers with ads for impulse products if they calculate that the user is stressed or tired.
You should let your community college people know that graduates from prestigious universities are being paid seven figures to influence not only how they spend and save, but also what they earn. Let them know that it’s their personal responsibility to overcome the efforts of trillion dollar industries that have captured the media and government.
They did this to us when we were 15 or something. Should not be delayed until college.
Why not both? A person’s financial at 15 is different than 20. Its no different than rereading the same book at different times in your life and it hits differently.

Should be the last year that the vast majority of kids attend. College feels like it’s not what everyone does.
I highly doubt most high school seniors would pay much attention to a class about math and personal responsibility.
That is correct, but the same crowd is unlikely to pay attention in any other class either. They were given the opportunity to learn and if they choose to not pay attention that is their choice.

Back in my day, rule #1 would be “when in doubt, engrave elbereth.” I heard they nerfed it in some recent version, though.
You Are Going To Die: Leveraging Your Existential Dread For Fun And Profit
Syllabus:
- You are going to die.
- No, seriously. Dead. Like, dead dead. Forever.
- Jesus Christ, pay attention, you’re running out of time!!!
- Practical: putting the fear of God in your heart with a near death experience.

- If you knew you would die tomorrow, what would you do with your last day alive?
- If you knew you would live to 100, what would you want to do in your life?
- At the moment you die and everything goes black, you will be alone and must look death in the eye and shake its hand. How will you prepare yourself to face this moment with courage, instead of curling up in a ball and crying like a little bitch?
- Practical: seeing death out of the corner of your eye - questing into the wilderness and doing an ass-ton of mushrooms.
- Breaking down your goals into smaller goals: creating an outline for your life.
- Breaking down your small goals into itty bitty goals that arent so scary.

- Passive progress - focusing on changing your life so pursuing your goals becomes effortless.
- The big keys: mindset, health, friends, and environment.
- Mindset
25.1) Go touch grass - when you feel hopeless, you probably just need to go outside and not think about anything for a while.
25.2) Go touch grass - if you are chronically online, you will be extremely anxious about everything because the internet keeps your attention by telling you the world is scary and most people are evil. Stop it.
25.3) Go touch grass - no, literally. Being in contact with nature will improve your mental health.
25.4) Anytime something bad happens to you, it is your responsibility to turn it into a learning experience that you can grow from. Yes, even trauma. Especially trauma.
25.5) Life is a mirror for your mindset - how your beliefs about the world reflect back to become outcomes.
25.6) Be a contender, not a champion - the real victory is the journey not the outcome. - Practical: go backpacking in the wilderness for a week. No electronics.
- Health
27.1) Sleep
27.2) Diet
27.3) Exercise - Practical: do sleep, diet, and exercise right for once in your life.
- Friends
29.1) Making new friends: just walk up and say “hi”.
29.2) Making new friends: go places where people who like the same things you do hang out.
29.3) Deepening relationships - offering and asking for help.
29.4) Deepening relationships - share feelings, not just facts.
29.5) Asking for support - people love to help you when they can see you are already doing the work.
29.6) Boundaries - establishing and maintaining them.
29.7) Cutting people out when they are detracting from your life.
29.7) Yeah, that goes for family, too. - Practical: pick a friend or make a new friend. Open up to them about a personal goal, and ask for their support.
- Environment
31.1) Pro surfers don’t live in Nebraska - how your environment impacts your success.
31.2) Move to the right city - if the best in the world don’t live there, you are in the wrong place. 31.3) Move to the right part of the right city - if you can’t walk to where you work on your goals, you are in the wrong place.
31.4) Move to the right home in the right part of the right city - if you can’t relax at home, you are in the wrong place. - Practical: Make a plan to move somewhere better next semester.
- Remember, you’re going to die - appreciating each moment that you are alive.
- Final: get wasted at a secret forest rave. Students will be graded based on how shamelessly they embarass themselves on the dance floor. Bonus points for getting shot down trying to hook up with an attractive stranger.
looks at long list, reflexively scrolls to the last point
Well, I’m sold.
Life drawing. I took a class at least twice a week for 8 years back in college and was a TA for a semester. I also just enjoy teaching those with a desire to learn.
Women’s Studies so I can be paid to mansplain.
Regular People History
Most of taught history is about and from the perspective of politicians, nobles, inventors, explorers, athletes, scientists - in other words, the outliers. I’m fascinated by the historic lives of regular people, a topic that is hard to research as there is little information about them.
I would sign up for this class
Wood Science.
Pathfinder first edition character creation (advanced)
I had an elderly grad school Mammalogy professor who was always thrilled to show us cute fuzzy creatures on a slide show, tell us what was unique, both taxonomically and phylogenetically, about them, and of course if or if not he had gotten a chance to pet them or wanted to still.
I would be thrilled to teach that course with half of the passion he did. Bonus points if it opened doors to work in the field and pet some of those mofos.
How to Make a Bong out of Anything
Musculo-skeletal anatomy. I have taught it already.
I’d teach a class on the stupid games women play in relationships and how they destroy relationships. I’d bring in women who played those games and what they lost. I’d use their social media profiles to show what they were posting and how it just creates problems. Then bring in women who didn’t play those games and show their results. I’d bring in intimacy experts like “The libido fairy “ from YouTube to help students understand how to have better relationships.
Actually that might have to be two different classes.
Honestly, you’re teaching the class a lot more about yourself than you are about the subject matter here
What are the odds that part of his class is hitting yourself in the face with a hammer?
So in essence what you are saying is women never play stupid games and never destroy relationships… good to know
Bye
I just noticed the username.
I’d say it’s a troll account with that username, but looking at the profile I think he’s just a proud Andrew Tate fan. Loose in the wilds of Lemmy. Odd.
the andrewta stands for
andrew ta … t.a. = teachers assistant or total asshole depending on the day.
sometimes i feel like being an asshole to people other days i’ll teach people.
so let’s think about this. since my comment was about teaching and helping women figure out how they are tanking their own relationships, which do you think i’m doing ? being an ass or helping and teaching?
now here’s a question for you. just because i want to teach women on this subject does that automatically mean that men don’t also create problems? does it mean that the two are mutually exclusive? no it does not.
women tank their own relationships in some cases and men tank their own relationships in other cases.
sometimes women are toxic as hell. doubt me? try looking at youtube and instagram sometimes and watch the crap that women put on there. try talking to married men sometime and listen to the toxic crap that their wives put them through.
now does that mean that men are absolutely always innocent in all cases? that would be insane to argue . and yet… i simply say hey i want to help women realize that these toxic acts are not a good idea and your response is to say i must love andrew tate… in essense saying that women are never guilty of toxic behavior.
here’s another question : since i want to teach the one subject does that mean you absolutely can not teach men about their toxic crap and how it affect relationships? why do the two have to be mutually exclusive?
i even mention a youtuber that talks to men and women to help in figuring out libido and intimacy . to try to help show that this i am coming from a place of wanting to help and yet you go with i must love andrew tate. i can only conclude that your opinion is that women are never the problem…
by the way i don’t actually think that you think that women are always innocent but do you see how insane that line of thinking is?
@njm1314@lemmy.world just to tag in the other person who commented. and also @blarghly@lemmy.world
it’s amazing how quickly people read and just jump to the wrong conclusion instead of trying to comprehend what is actually being said.

sometimes i feel like being an asshole to people other days i’ll teach people.
I want to say this with the greatest possible compassion - this is serious neckbeard energy. Like, your whole series of posts is.
Your logical points aren’t any real defence. You can logic all you want - but the medium is the message. Your choice of subject matter, how you choose to define it, and how you choose to talk about it, clearly displays a lot of bitterness towards women. I expect you’ll want to argue that I am talking about superficialities and ignoring the more important, deeper, logical points you are making. But this is sort of like showing up to a first date, unwashed and unshaved, wearing a shirt covered in holes and stains. Your presentation isn’t some inconsequential thing that only dumb people focus on - it is the most potent representation of who you a really are. If you show up to a first date without shaving, you are telling your date, in a way words cannot compensate for, that you do not care about them enough to complete simple, normal tasks. And when you talk about “teaching” women in the manner that you have, it is clear that your real goal is not the improvement of these women’s relationships, but for you to be able to criticize them and air your grievances for perceived previous offences you’ve suffered.
I’m not unsympathetic to your state of mind. I think any man who dates women, at some point or another, has had some similar bitterness. It is just human nature to project our frustrations, and think that “they” are the source of all our problems and if only “they” would change everything would be better. But it is also not a state of mind that is really helping you, so I suggest you chill out a little and open your mind to the possibility that you might be wrong.
Lol, sure it does buddy. Sure it does.
RTFM, a prerequisite for Critical Thinking
It boggles my mind how many students can’t find answers in the one tool they have for any given subject. That’s Step 1 for problem solving just about everything: trust the literature and sort it the fuck out.
