  • This reads more like a complaint about capitalism, and not on the people making suggestions on other people’s posts. i.e. you’re using a straw man fallacy to argue against capitalism by using people giving advice to others as the vehicle.

    But, giving you the benefit of the doubt here, I’d like to point out that people are social by nature. We thrive on some form of interconnectedness with other people. We also like to help others, if we can. So it stands to reason that if we see someone having similar troubles to us, we will reach out and offer suggestions that we’ve found to be successful (yes, to ourselves). And unless the poster simply wants to rant, without seeking guidance for their situation, they should clearly set that expectation in their posts. Another solution that’s worked for me in the past (😉) is to ignore advice that I feel is irrelevant and move on.








  • “Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.

    This was the biggest failing of (at least) my generation (gen-x): we were only taught that we had a freedom of speech, but never taught that there still could be consequences.

    The professor has the right to express their side, and unfortunately will probably suffer the consequences, thud negating the bad grade. This will only serve to embolden said psychology student to keep doing what they did, and other professors will allow it to happen, lest they suffer the same consequences themselves.

    I used to say that the system is broken, but now I realize it’s merely working as intended.
