        yeah. I left it. I figured I was sorta like the girl in the comic. Had a dream, followed it, got the degree but found the work did not really pay the bills, switched to doing something more cubically.

          Out of a class of 157 only one person I know still does science.

          Video game designer, planetarium host, using their trust fund to be a scuba diver professionally, someone went on to be the rubber stamp for helping a company bulldoze land, I went into theater and screens.

          1 person went on to JPL and they were already in their 30s owned a house next to the college and had been enlisted in the military. The other person I know working at JPL didn’t go to college and builds the rocket detachment systems for a salary worse than a telemarketer and says they don’t understand math and leaves it to other people to tell them what to do.

          We don’t want to pay smart people to ponder the world anymore. They just want people to help maximize profit from it. Apparently we should all come up with new exploitable stuff on our non existent free time.

      Isekai is religion for the modern era. “Oh, don’t be sad he was hit by truck-kun, he’s in a better place now.”

      Note, I’m all for this. If I die in an accident, I firmly expect friends and family to workshop a story plot at the funeral

        “I know we are all sad that corvi has left this world but do not worry, I am certain he is using his secret OP ability he got when he reincarnated in a fantasy world to get a harem of big tiddy anime gfs right at this moment”

        “Who the fuck is this Dagnet guy and why did we let him give the speech?”

            Wait til you hear about the season arch about how The Evil Big Tiddy Goths (an emerging sovereign nation from the nord) is about to attack the harem.

            (Season 2 features attack from the south, angry octopi, with big tiddies)

            I hope there will be snacks at the funeral, we gonna be a while.
