#1 My English literature teacher gave us one sentence to work with, we'd have to write the 2nd sentence and she would give us 3rd and so on, the hope was that a coherent story could be formed. The only time we did the exercise the title was "Roadside Feast" my sick and twisted brain opted for a line about hedgehog roadkill, the third line confirmed that our teacher intended to teach a bunch of 12 year olds about cooking hedgehog roadkill.

Help me out with the lady with the prosthetic leg at an art museum?
darkdragonempress
It’s showcasing a Japanese art style where when something breaks they repair it by filling in the cracks with gold, making it more beautiful and interesting than the original piece. Basically her getting to see how what might be viewed as a defect can instead be an improvement.
Promethianfire
Thanks
ksilverful
Adding to the artpiece: the colors of the vase and the colors of the prosthetic are the same (the golden Kintsugi lines form the lineart of her prosthesis, the same black is used to color in the vase and her prosthetic). So her leg and the vase are really one and the same.

#14 I think those who can't comprehend something still recognize on some subconscious level that they cannot comprehend it, and are thusly made to feel inferior in the face of something which is too large for their own heads. In response to that wound to their ego, they lash out in a childish bid to assert their own dominance over the subject by force, both so that they can feel themselves superior to it, and also to destroy the element which makes them feel scared and insecure.

Spiked
I would take it to mean that this was the last game. Because otherwise I'd be in the same boat
TemeraireDC
You're still playing the game of life either way. Best to work on making sure there is a tomorrow. Otherwise all answers to the question stop anyway. Every man does that differently I suppose.
Imalwaysready
I'd be home with the ones I loved, but I'd also be playing. Board games. When we all go out, I want us all to go out knowing that I really was the best one in the family and final "champion of the world" in out Boggle games.

I'd be playing but I'd take massive amounts of performance enhancing drugs first. No repercussions!

Performance enhancing drugs? how about reality enhancing drugs. Play football, but on shrooms!

Exactly. How is that motivating? Why the heck would I do anything but be with my family, or, if I didn't have my family, be like that legend in Pompeii who tugged one out before the pyroclastic flow got him.

Yeah, I'd be at home alone too

ZuZissouandtheBlandCheese
It has taken me 18 years to finish a 4 year degree. I'm about to start my final semester
ZuZissouandtheBlandCheese
I appreciate all the responses! Good luck and god speed to those who have mentioned being in similar position.
ghostofdragon
It took me 11 years to get all of my current stuff done, including obtaining the licenses to do what I do. You are doing more than fine, and finally making it to the last semester?! YOOOOOOOOOOO it’ll feel so good and yet also so bittersweet with the changes. Congrats! What a ride!
adrianontherocks
Congratulations! Who cares how long it took you. I’m sure you faced many challenges along the way. I hope the degree serves to enrich your life in some manner.
mikeoart101
This is AMAZING! You should be proud AF. You stuck with it and can see the finish line… you are incredible!! Please post on graduation day so we can celebrate you!

It didn't take you 20 - and to those for whom it took 20, it didn't take longer. The destination doesn't obey a calendar, it only waits patiently for your arrival.
bronsonmills9
Same I'm in year 8 of 8 on a bs. (Off and on for 20 years) have had to work full time and the university wouldn't accept a lot of my transfers bc they were too old. Plus side, I've not accrued any student debt yet
ZuZissouandtheBlandCheese
No student debt is one of the upsides. I commute to work via bicycle 4 miles each way simply to avoid paying for a second car.

Best of luck for your final semester! I bet it'll feel super-weird once you're done :D
ColumboVsPredator
I’m thinking of starting a part time degree that might take me just as long. Any tips?
bothers
Not OP but in October I'll be starting year 5 of a 6 year part time degree. Different things work for different people, but probably the biggest thing is schedule quality time to study each week (or even day) and make it sacrosanct, don't let life or work take it away from you if you can. Your time will be under a lot of pressure and you'll have to work to protect it. Defer during your course if you have to. It's hard work, but it's very rewarding - good luck!
bronsonmills9
Buy lots and lots of colors pens with matching highlighters so you can key your notes to the textbook. The mind struggles to make sense of a block of black ink. Draw lots of pictures and charts. Don't worry about the young kids and their tech, you use the methods that work for you. Get a gym membership or use the facilities at your school. Improve body and mind plus you get lots of good thinking time while working out. Most importantly, try 2x as hard as you think you should, sorry to say.

#4 I HATE when people say I "believe" in Science. Science is the application of knowledge and understanding of our world following a structured methodology based on evidence gathered. You dont "believe" in it, it just is.
Soidan
You should read this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_knowledge
Soidan
tldr : knowledge is a belief
Kbantar
It does have axioms that one must believe though. They're basic ones, but there are some.
q34tw4
That is true
ImALagomorphSam
It is “belief” because any tenet of science is available to be shown to be false or incomplete, given sufficient evidence. “Belief” supported strongly by empirical evidence is the best we can claim.
ImALagomorphSam
Unless you are asserting that belief is redundant because Science (noun) exists, rather than the belief in the principles, practices and conclusions of Science, which I would argue is the more common usage of “science” when people say that they “believe in science”.
q34tw4
Its more so when individuals say they believe in science but you know it’s not the process they are talking about but the source that delivered the information to them.
ImALagomorphSam
That’s a good point. Messenger is not the method.
AgainstMethod
It's a shorter way of saying "I believe that the scientific method leads to True conclusions."

You have to construct a narrative to explain what you’re seeing, and the narrative you construct says more about you than it says about the image.

Sapphyre2
Often, at least in my case, a child will say they are trying (or trying hard) to do something... such as complete school work, and they are told they don't try at all because they aren't doing well at the subject/not perfect at the thing.
rshini
this, I struggle with math and had highly incompetent teachers and a state assessment test that incentivize my school district to teach only how to answer the test during test years, my mother kept going 'but you're smart, you should get this, stop being lazy' which only made it worse
kittyfajitas
Yep. My mother tried to teach me how to read and was quite abusive when I couldn't do it, saying I was just being stubborn to annoy her. As an adult, I realized how shitty of a teacher she was. She didn't even try - just showed me words and expected me to know them. When I confronted her about it, she said she thought I should've just known how automatically (like thru osmosis, I guess?) bc she apparently taught herself when she was 2 y/o. She's obviously insane but man did that fuck me up.
2sheepstothewind
Biggest of hugs. I went though the same experience. I vividly remember the book .. The Littlest Angel.. ironic. The beatings were alot.I would have panic attacks when asked to read for the class. Still hate public speaking. In 6th grade they finally figured out how bad my reading was. Still hate reading books now. As an adult she would deny it ever happened. Infuriating.

Exactly what happened when I got to college… I was trying, but I wasn’t shown that I deserved supports and thought I was a failure. I was undiagnosed at the time.
