The price isn't the scam, the premise of the store is. It pushes an unnecessary, regressive narrative about health and food to court your business.

That said, almost everything I write on here is totally random shitposting to kill time, it’s not a good representation. The same could probably be said for most of you fuckers so it’s hard to tell sometimes who’s actually intelligent. Zanick is definitely up there though.
Lol, nigga, you describe yourself as "brilliant" (or rather you recount
other people describing you as brilliant) and you think I'm the one that overstates my intelligence.
Eat a dick nigga

To be honest, computer programming for the financial sector seems like pretty unfulfilling, tedious, monotonous, soul crushing work; at least when it goes on for years, let alone decades.
I'm also planning on claiming I'm transgender to increase my chances of getting into a good college. I'll go as far as to cross dress, wearing makeup and a wig, as well as lying to a therapist/psychologist if I have to. After I get in I'll just drop the act. "Oh, it turns out I may not have been transgender after all! I may simply be gender fluid and I'm currently going through a masculine phase."
If you were good at it you'd make more money than programming but you won't be good at it since it requires people skills. Even the most stereotypical rainman fund manager needed to put on a suit and be not-autistic for years to get started. There are many fields that will tolerate your social inability on a good day, computer science is one, investment banking is not.
Seeing as you probably haven't taken anything but GE courses at this point I'd suggest suspending judgement on what is and isn't fulfilling.

This, for sure. Malice, you're going to find some skills you didn't know you had that seem contrary to the agenda you've laid out for yourself. Try not to narrow your expectations.

I've been taking a few classes for fun at UCF but I've been debating going back full time and getting a degree in something I'm interested it, like Philosophy or something. I think on a level, I envy how open Malice's road is. I didn't really have the freedom to pick my degree track, so I was railroaded into computer science by my parents. I literally never touched it professionally and haven't programmed almost ever since I graduated, I have basically zero interest in actually programming and coding, I just find reading about technology and engineering interesting, that's why my parents thought I should do computer science.
Idk though, a full degree would be a lot of work and it's the same thing, actually doing a philosophy track is more logic and notation than discussing "philosophy" like we do.

I'm not natively good with formal logic, but I've found it becomes more intuitive when you apply it in later courses. Unless you're at an upper-tier school with an established philosophy department, I think that securing independent study credits wherever possible gets the most out of a philosophy degree. Too many universities don't emphasize the subject enough, and might not have diverse course offerings or challenging curricula.

It's kinda uncommon to see notational prop logic in a philosophy paper. Like a few famous philosophers were into it Wittgenstein kinda turned the field away from that the the status quo has kinda been that you're expected to be literate but it's not really something you actually do. Like handwriting or base conversions or applying the chain rule.
Also like Zanick said, you get a feel for it relatively quickly. Addition might have been technically challenging if you've never seen numbers or a plus sign before but academic philosophy is no more constituent in written formal logic than building bridges is in addition.
