It sucks that they got rid of every activity. It’s only phone in bed now. They got rid of everything else

People who talk about what population density is necessary to "justify" a rail system are wrong but they're wrong in the opposite way from how they think. Even in Japan which has more than twice the population density of China the rail system is not profitable. JR makes most of its profit by operating malls and collecting rent from vendors. If you blindly follow profit instead of considering the broader social benefits the result will always be putting your rail system into a death spiral of rationalization. Stop expecting public transport to turn a profit that's not what it exists for.

Hey, friends with poor memory. This is a sign to go ahead and learn anything you want, even if you're afraid you're going to forget it all. Read Wikipedia articles, watch documentaries, take free classes, and delve deep into books and lore. Maybe I'm the only one who has this fear, maybe not. But learning for pleasure is just as much--if not moreso-- about the joy of the experience as it is about memorization.

also! contrary to what we are taught in school, learning is not about memorizing facts - it’s about learning how to think. our brain is a muscle that needs exercise, not a bag for shoving as much random facts into as possible.

Professors are always like "make sure the scope of your project is narrow so that completion is feasible" ok well what if I want to know everything
