Something along the lines of "don't ever go to bed angry at each other." Like, yeah, you should try to work it out, but if you fucked up real bad, don't push it. Sleep on the couch.

Ages like milk...

Drink a full glass of milk at every meal. Otherwise, your bones will turn to pudding and you'll get kidnapped at the mall because you'll be too soft to put up a fight. Or whatever scare scenarios Big Milk pushed in the US in the 80s and 90s.

Now everyone's drinking nut and oat milk because of health reasons and also drinking the milk of another mammal is kinda weird.

Because drinking "milk" from nuts and oats isn't weird?

People have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years so the weird ones are those pretending some heavily processed industry process isn't weird.

heavily processed

Always great to put that into arguments. It doesn't really mean anything but it sounds dubious.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Making things requires a process‽ Can't explain that!

it's water pressed through oats/nuts to add a little flavor, not from a nut teet.

"Milk" from nuts and oats is just a word. Call it oat juice, oat extract, make up a new word and call it oat zligbab. The actual thing being drunk is not far from the realm of things we already drink and eat. Getting hung up on it being called "milk" is a superficial and disingenuous argument against it.

If you want to compare the extremes of industrialized processes, are you familiar with commercial dairy farming?

Go to a four year college so you can get the best jobs.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Nah, that advice is still correct. The 4-year degree provides a huge benefit over not having it.

It's just that a lot of people don't realize just how much shittier not having a degree in 2024 is compared to not having a degree in 1974.

So while the baseline has gotten worse, and the actual benefit of college has shrunk, it's still easily worth the 4 year commitment and the tuition/opportunity cost.

Counter-point: not everyone is cut out for a four-year degree*. Some people are better suited for trade schools. My wife worked at a university and saw a number of students that were attending just because family wanted them to, but their heart wasn’t in it. Often they’d drop out with student debt and no degree to show for it.

*or at least when they’re young
