What cosplay would make it weird?

Design and build a city.

Given that they got it down to a bazooka, yeah.

Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, released in 2023.

It's got hooks and it speaks to an interesting form of teenage rebellion/identity. I feel like the song is a modern form of "This isn't just a phase, it's who I am!"

I've always had my own room at home, so dorm living was an adjustment.

Bathrooms were relatively easy; showers in closing stalls, sinks, and toilets on the same floor. I never had an issue with privacy there, although sometimes I'd use bathrooms in less busy buildings if I wanted some peace while shitting.

I had several roommates, including moving into a room where two roommates couldn't get along. You and the other person just try to come up with ways to live together. That includes being aware of each other's schedules and using alone time that is given. If you need to be alone while your roommate is around, I suggest leaving to less occupied area.

I'd also suggest learning to eat with others. A lot of social activities run on food; I've had great conversations with others over lunch or dinner.

ONE MORE TIME by blink-182, released in 2023.

That song is pretty good, has a great emotional core to it, and seems perfectly made for reunions.

Maybe they should tax airplane fuel to fund the connectivity.

There are a lot of historical books on various topics; i feel like a good spot is to pick an era and dive in.

Also, everything is politics, especially office work. Part of the purpose of college wasn't just to get people to gain knowledge, but to work up Bloom's Taxonomy by applying knowledge learned and analyzing it. Reading books might get you knowledge and maybe comprehension, but the value is in those higher levels.

Yeah. I've had several discussions talking about what happens in other countries and someone starts complaining about how it is typical American behavior.

Lemmy is not neurotypical and it shows up with various discussions. Discussions here tend to assume autism or AuDHD as typical behavior, when it is only typical for the group of people assembled here.

A lot of the official liberal arts college education goes into understanding the perspectives of others, with a bias to people in power and their power structures. While not an explicit thing they are teaching you, college is teaching you how to understand power structures and the people within them.

If you have a better understanding of power structures, it becomes easier to push said structures to achieve your own goals since you can speak to power structures in their language instead of your own in order to get what you want.

Also, a lot of the clubs and other extra-curricular activities are designed to create small power bases to practice these techniques on.

It is a lot easier to get what you want when you can speak on other people's terms.

I've seen both.
