Poll Question
What do you think?
Agree
Disagree

Much of school consists of studying, memorizing and following instructions. It's very indoctrinated. Leaves little room for creative exploration, theory constructs and self-discovery. If you're able to produce anything off-curriculum it's not accounted for in marks.

Reading Books Is Not Inherently Superior To Watching Movies
Poll Question
What do you think?
Yes, it is superior
No, it's not
It depends on the book & on the movie
I generally find movies of books I have read and enjoyed quite disappointing. I guess that during the reading process I am building a mental image of the people, their environment, their attitudes, etc. and these rarely match the director's ideas.

Yes, then you heat just the right amount of water
This is an abomination

Celebrity News Is Actually Interesting And Entertaining
Poll Question
What do you think?
Ofc it is
Absolutely not
It depends, I guess?
Celebrity news is something I despise, and I despise very few things. Why do the news outlets believe that I should care about who a songwriter’s boyfriend is, or who said what to someone else that has a lot of money? It’s pointless, it has no impact on my life whatsoever, and it’s mediocre entertainment at best.

So many of these are just personal choice. Why should anyone say that any food is an abomination unless it’s poisonous? Don’t tell anyone what they should eat! And don’t judge them either!!!
At least those are personal opinions. Not like the flat earth one.
