Yesterday I was asked for my pronouns.
 
It took me a while to understand that this person was being serious.

>this person
 
It was a woman, wasn't it.

You went to an event with university students, right?

Why, you can always respond with that you're happy with "du", no need to "Sie" like a faggot

i planned that event but there were some uni students, yes
 
ofc
 
she also:
- switches to english all the time while talking to people in german
- is vegan
- tells everyone vegan recipies
- brought a transgender girl (male) with her who literally talked like a fucking faggot (s/he wanted to sound like a woman which triggered my female frens and they kept shittalking him all evening)
- literally quotes english TWITTER MEMES completely randomly in the middle of a german conversation
- unironically called me a white male (her joke pic related)
- has ultra short hair
 
 
 
This would be simply hilarious if she wasn't a child care worker.

They are entitled to hold any opinion as long as they're not pressuring me into their idealised mould.
Burnpt, if you're around such negativity, it'll begin to influence your mood and who you attract. Dog be with you.

When I used to go to classes there was always a girl or woman complaining about men during breaks. One of them went off about old white men. She wasn't even a radical but a social democrat.

It's a mainstream talking point now. I just hope most of this craziness passes like movements of the past.

I remain cynical about the movement losing steam. In 2010, I thought it was just a fad that would dissipate in time. Look where we are now. I personally think it'll grow to a boiling point as we continue to promiscuously lather younger classrooms with the power of protesting.

It's at the point where normoids are aware of it. I think that's the tipping point.

It was a death sentence when university's began including it in their systems. Now it's trickling down into everyday life.
t.observed it many years ago in uni and college

Luckily, this also comes at a time when more and more people are getting redpilled on how uni degrees are a scam, how skill targeted training is probably a better idea for majority of ppl, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>uni degrees are a scam
I still can't tell if you're serious. Most are pretty critical, especially STEM fields. However most people shouldn't be moving past a specified skill set and opt to become a tradie instead. There's also a stagnation of wages in the trades sector thanks to the diversification of their degrees to ensure these institutions gain more money from their unsuspecting students.

I'm a STEMoid and I'm being serious yes.
Even within STEM, a large part of students going here would do better with a technician non-uni education than having to grind through years of pretending they're "doing science".
Hell there's a real shortage of experienced technicians at research facilities. Seasoned workers who know their shit around the lab equipment and who trained that since they were ~18, rather than who wasted ~7 years on theorycel bullshit. Who went straight to lab as apprentices to train to get to know the equipment. Because now, a lot of that work is usually given to unexperienced student interns instead (who constantly fuck up), or if it's too important and too sophisticated, research scientists are forced to waste their time with getting it right instead of assigning it to a technician with comparable experience in the lab.

Many such cases.

I have a PhD in a stem field and I agree. I think education isn't really (or at least shouldn't be about a piece of paper) but very much a journey. Many of the classes that I've found most useful have been philosophy and anthropology. I didn't end up getting a degree in them, but they influenced how I see and interact with the world and my work. I also don't see how a degree should be linear to a job, meaning how it defines you and what you are able to do. The greatest scientist I've interacted with had a bachelor's degree in history and my committee co chair had a master's in philosophy.

The world is now confusing universities as places for job training.
