Hitler was a silly and impressionable man who lacked the talent to paint. I, on the other hand, am silly and lack the talent to paint. See? Big difference.
I see about a six inch difference...
And if I recall properly, you've hardly moved on from training bras. Just like ol' Addy.
The difference is that I accept my flaws as goodness, and Adolf overcompensated with high fashion and the mass murder of jews, blacks, gypsies, and homosexuals!
you're implying that genocide of the lesser races isn't the answer to everything.
Only if it's not spearheaded by a funny little man in cargo shorts!
So what, you're telling me I can't build the fourth Reich?
As long as you don't wear cargo shorts, I would be... not exactly proud, but content with calling you mein Führer.
But what else am I supposed to wear in the summer? I don't shave my legs, so my skirts are out of the question.
blue jeans that zip off at the knee like cool kids!

The most fun thing about bullying Tomoko and Ouya-tan is that they're cute! Cute things are fun to bully!
No.
Fluffy ponies were made to abuse. Tomoko was made to hug and cry with.
Fluffy ponies are made to do the ultraviolent, Tomoko is made to laugh at and call silly names!

No bully pls, unless it's Tomoko
Talk shit get hit
Tell me you don't enjoy the schadenfreude.
I... no.
I don't believe you! I know that you self insert as Tomoko and enjoy every second!
No! Because I WAS Tomoko!
>implying that you don't to be an otaku fujo that gets bullied by life and everyone else 24/7
It's like a masochists personal heaven to be in, and a sadist's heaven to watch.
It wasn't fun though... I'm not the "I'm gonna play Dark Souls one handed" kind of masochist, but rather the "I want you to take the folding knife from my right pocket and trace the tip along my spine as the stereo plays some kind of shitty stoner rock." kind.
Booooo. Tomoko was made to be bullied, so that's what I'm going to do!
You are an evil, evil, man. Adolf Hitler Jr.
 Bullying is a serious dedication, and my parents always told me not to quit at things! I will bully her come high water or hellfire and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

My biggest gripe is that this move is another step towards making college essential education and ruining the value of a diploma.
It already is. If you want a job that pays more than minimum wage, you need a degree.
It's already a societal requirement, we don't need to give it a foundation by further excusing it.
By giving people who couldn't previously afford it a chance at higher education, you're giving them a chance to rise out of the vicious cycle of poverty. We'll all be better off for it in the end.
By making higher education a requirement instead of an option, you're diminishing the value of it. There's no reason why someone needs to get a bachelor's degree to be a McDonald's manager, and because of actions such as this policy it will only gain more traction.
It's not going to be a requirement. Nobody's being FORCED to go to community college. The option is there for you if you need it.
You just said that it's already a requirement for jobs above minimum wage, how is it a good thing to further support that policy by offering college to more people instead of fixing the education system in the first place?
No, I didn't say it was required. I said it was essential. Small, but important difference.
In today's job market, you cut your options significantly by not having a degree.
That's a problem of semantics. If it won't lead to argument over word choice, then I'll say that it was poorly worded on my behalf.
You're cutting your options significantly by not having a degree in a state of which there is still a financial barrier in the way of attaining one. So instead of tackling the problem, we're attacking the symptom and only fueling its progress. Instead of saying, "Hey, it's a problem that basic jobs are starting to require higher education", it instead support the policy by making it even easier to do!
So if this isn't the answer, what is?
Instead of railroading people into higher education, fix the problem at its source: core education. Fix curriculum and stop increasing standardized testing. And I don't mean Common Core, I mean actually fix it instead of doing the same-old-same-old with deceptive advertising. I hope you don't expect me to write a bill here, because I assume you know enough about the state of core education in the US to know that it is a serious problem. If you don't, I'll be glad to keep discussing it.
I don't disagree that public education is terribly flawed. However, nearly everyone on this site disagrees with me about Common Core [many because they don't really understand it, but I wont jump to conclusions]
I certainly do think CC is a step in the right direction. The end-all, be-all? Unlikely. But we wont really be able to measure its effects until maybe a decade down the road since it's still so new.
My mother's a teacher and my 12th grade English teacher was an ex-journalist who heavily researches Common Core, so forgive me if I'm a little too close to the subject. I'll simply leave my view on CC at this: if it functioned how it is advertised, then I would be all for it. But they take huge liberties in their description of it, and I don't agree with the reality of it.

The problem is that it's a step toward an inarguable requirement, not that this policy makes it one. You're lending further credence to the common practice of disbarring people without diplomas. At that point (if it isn't close already) it's "live comfortably or on minimum wage". That's not a literal requirement, but it's a railroaded choice.

At that, instead of just throwing more people at colleges, it would be much more beneficial to the poor to fix public education. This policy is an attempt to fix a symptom, not the problem.

That implies I'd agree to sex with someone I knew nothing about before this! I need at least three preliminary dates and six months before I could commit to something like that! Even then it's not a guarantee that I'd do "that"!

Well then by that logic if I happen to go off and resurrect the Cult of Belldandy...
Haruhiism a shit, just accept it.
Pretty much this. I didn't say pointing out it wasn't first was meaningless, but trying to pick out haruhi for that reason comes close
Jeez Baha, you're taking this too seriously. Haruhi was just the first example to come to mind.

I just look towards neutral-ish user reviews that give the pros and cons, watch some gameplay (not first-party or biased sources, of course) and keep up with news on games I'll potentially buy. It's not like you have to spend 15 hours a day watching a twitter feed to know this stuff, it's just preliminary before a purchase.

The point is haruhi isn't the first show with an omnipotent teenage girl
Well duh, that's like saying The Day the Earth Stool Still was the first piece of science-fiction ever. I'm just pointing out that it's been done before, and years before Madoka rolled around.
Pointing out madoka wasn't first is no more meaningful that pointing out haruhi wasn't first
Then why'd you make the distinction yourself? hmm?  Everyone knows that a longer-established name is better than newer ones, so the Church of Haruhi > Church of Madoka. Baka Buzz Killington.
