That really sucks. I feel like our current system is only rewarding schools that are already good instead of helping schools that need help the most, not to mention many parents don't value education. Hopefully it gets better in the future...

I don't know how I feel about it honestly.. There isn't any helping those who don't want to be helped and just don't care about getting an education. All I know is if the American Education system keeps on this track there will no longer be a middle ground, just people doing grunt work and others doing high end work.

Oh god, someone thought I was insulting them in writing club.

They were talking about how they weren't being picked for the awards we hold every year. [I'm a new member so it's natural that I wasn't going to be picked]

I said, they haven't been picked for our weekly picks in awhile so there might be a chance not a lot of people read it. And not to worry about it since it doesn't have that much bearing on quality.

They took it as me saying that no one wants to read their story.

Settle it in Smash.

But seriously, people need to understand that not every non-optimistic comment is an insult, just a hypothetical observation.

Thank you!
But most people like too blame others and only have Yes-sayers around.

It's an Obsidian game, on an engine and code that's even more busted than Bethesda games before that unless you get all the necessary mods and patches.

If you got it on steam, you should've waited for the winter sales.
Else, it's a fun game so you'll have good time... Less you get bugs.

It is probably going to crash a lot.

All I know is if the American Education system keeps on this track there will no longer be a middle ground, just people doing grunt work and others doing high end work.

At the very least there should be an opportunity in the school system for those that want to succeed, but are in unfortunate circumstances. I have a few good friends whose parents didn't give a damn about their education, but with teachers willing enough to help that they went on to great colleges and jobs.

If the middle ground disappears like you say, there'll be a huge economic crisis if all the grunt work gets automated in a short amount of time. That is, unless tech advancements stop progressing so quickly and companies restrain themselves from automating everything, but both seem unlikely. Hoooooopefully it doesn't get to that point.

Bah, thinking about America's policies at the moment regarding education and energy make me want to drink.

We(the US) could use more tradesman and people willing to perform blue collar jobs instead of people who want to do office work. Administrative work is disappearing because of how easy and simple it is to do office tasks plus they are not unionized jobs. They are not protected.

I was just trying to cheer them up since they were being down about not being picked. I'd personally rather hear my story isn't super popular rather than someone saying my writing is low in quality.

This. I don't believe you need other mods because you are new to game but Project Nevada is necessary to play the game without major problems.

Yep. It's easy to punch numbers into a computer. It's hard to weld shit together.

I think other countries have more support for trade schools from high school onwards, whereas in America students are being told they have to go to college instead of a trade school otherwise they can't succeed. There are plenty of students that would probably be happier pursuing a trade than being pressured to go to college.

STEM people would do much better working in non-computer fields tbh.

Having strong math skills and knowledge of physics for example is a great benefit in the construction industry.

Sometimes, you can't cheer people up, pride and what not.
But yea, there's a reason for that person not being picked and they should know why.

Well, I thought it was Bethesda, because of all the crashes I hear of!
Mhm, I have never used a mod either. But it seems easy enough to do.

Ippo, video games, they're both good, no need to regret choosing one over the other.

That is a very good point. They are begging people to go intro trade work and it really doesn't require you to be overly intelligent just have a grasp on basic math skills and be handy with tools.

Now having signed up for classes...I can now completely shut off my brain until January..<3

Oh, and what are you playing?

Not playing shit, because of a 2.7GB update for the Ippo game.

Introducing my friends to Berserk is one of the most difficult things.

"It has one of the best stories of all time, the art is gorgeous, just keep in mind the rape horse....multiple rape horses. Also babies on pikes."

Actually, you need to be more intelligent to remember everything that is legally required in order to work as a tradesman.

At least in NY I understand that to be true.

They forgot to put in the dempsey roll, it's the only thing I can think of that would take 2.7GB

That' almost exactly how I describe it and I get more people interested with rape horse.

I'll still be done with this patch before your game even ships

Nah, they're adding Jack Dempsey to the roster.

Eh I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic honestly. My dad's brother is the only Tradesman I know and that was in the late 70's where a HSD could get you a decent paying job.
