Because the point of undergraduate studies is to produce well-rounded individuals who are ready for a variety of different paths. The papers you write for film theory help you with written reasoning, analysis, and thinking critically about media. Pre civil war history helps you take others' perspectives and find connections between causes and effects. We want art students with some knowledge of science and vice versa.

My sister was born Deaf but didn't go to a specialised school. A boy from her year came by our family's shop and asked me to teach him sign because he thought my sister was "cool." I spent a few weeks meeting with him and teaching him the basics. He and my sister have been together for about 8 years now!

If you really feel like you can't "burden" (hint: you're not a burden) your friends or family, find a therapist! You'll have someone whose sole desire is to listen to whatever you want to say.
There's likely free or cheap mental health services in your area - search for community counseling, community health centre, therapists with scaled rates, etc. Memes can't replace therapy!

TLDR: Plastic is the least effective storage, best when you need something cheap and short-term. Aluminium and glass are comparable alternatives with different advantages.

TLDR: Teachers have to teach to the average, not the individual. You have to learn both how to find creative solutions to problems AND how to follow directions and tested ways of thinking.

TLDR: Given enough traction, a small vehicle can pull a huge load for at least a small distance - so that's not a great measure for the vehicle's overall performance.

"Personally I would much rather go sit in some shitty dive bar full of honest local vagrants for $2.50 per beer, than go to an overrated club and pay $200 for a bottle of vodka and be surrounded by arrogant preppy dudes in their $900 shoes"

TLDR: There are interesting consequences to everyone being able to change their appearances at will, though generally people will still find things to be unhappy about.

TLDR: There's probably never a good reason to not treat someone like a person, and there are certain identities that deserve the respect of an authority.

Well part of it is if I'm buying chocolate for my kids I might as well buy some for myself. But mostly their utter elation is infectious. :)

It's possible. More research is needed, but use of puberty blockers may lead to decreased bone density. But with monitoring bone health and mitigating other risk factors, puberty blockers should be pretty safe.

Yup. Basically pills that stop the body from releasing the hormones that trigger the development of facial/body hair, breasts, etc. They can help trans kids avoid the discomfort/dysmorphia that comes with growing into a body that doesn't match how you feel. And if they decide they want to go through puberty, they can stop the blockers and resume the process.

I don't know if cage fighting is the best evidence since the point is to hurt your opponent and cis women do some damage too. But if you want to avoid this issue while respecting people's identities, let trans youth take puberty blockers so that women don't have to go through male puberty developing muscles and strength they don't want.

Physicists liked the joke so other authors list F.D.C Willard (felis domesticus, Chester Willard) in the notes thanking him for his contributions. Gotta love a good boy doing science.

Of course, it's never as simple as all that. Some research has indicated a link between environmental toxins and development of autism - but the relationship is not yet clearly defined and it's unclear how exposure to pollutants interacts with other risk factors like genetics.

TLDR: You can't literally pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and many poor people can't even do so metaphorically. The supposed greatest times in America were marked by many social services and community efforts - not bootstraps.

Silly @guest_ , it's not a TL;DR if it's only 3 words less than the original text (112 vs 115)!
