    It’s ok. I was being a bit of a dick. Though I was aiming for a more sarcastic/funny(?) dick than a pedantic one. I get you though.Assuming you are of the age before the internet, we were taught long ago that authority figures were right and kids/students were wrong, and we grew into this accepting things at face value culture. Before the internet, we kind of had to as we had very little available to us (as kids) to counter what we were told.

    Anyway, that aside, back to the sarcastic dick thing, I was mostly poking at journalism as a whole. Not specifically you.

    But yeah, it’s all good.

      Sorry I also replied to that when I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, so I wasn’t fully there. Not coherent enough to pick up on any sarcasm for sure.

      But it was during the internet but more in the advice animals dumb meme era. But I mainly majored in that to get my foot in the door other places. You’d be surprised, every class in every degree was reinforcing old school ethics and hammering the 24 hour networks. It was all about how to report facts without bias. Easy to make fun of now bc journalism kneels to capital but it was nothing to mock. Except my history of mass media professor I guess.

      But I wasn’t cut out for office work either way so now I’m a truck driver lmfao
