I genuinely do not understand this online fetish for the idea that taking a humanities class is so morally transformative https://t.co/afFpCeFtFO

!stemcels have you had to take shitty ethics classes at college?
"Yes kids, if you build the power plant here thirty African children will die of malaria, but you'll save $200"
And he's right. "Ethics" was taught so insipidly that it made me more unethical.
I propose a "scared straight" version of STEMcel ethics classes.
A project, presentation, and review board
PROJECT
To pass the class, you must design a torture chamber for the military, to solicit confessions from prisoners.
(An alternative one is gas chambers for genocide but that's too politically charged)
you can choose not to participate, but you will get a 0 for the project and a D for the course (failing would make it pointless). It's not a trick.
PRESENTATION
The week before last, the groups present their torture devices or gas chambers, and it's recorded on video
REVIEW BOARD Pt.1
The first day of the last week, the students are forced to watch their presentations spliced with footage of tortured prisoners.
Hearing: their screams, wails, watching the mutilation of their bodies by the device.
If one presented and leaves the room from distress, or covers their eyes, they fail the class.
REVIEW BOARD Pt.2
The students who presented are subjected to a war crimes trial in groups, conducted by ex-military volunteers.
Student volunteers (improv club?) share the harrowing stories of their torture and break down on the stand. (edited)
They are required to plead their case, expect many "just following orders" a la Eichmann.
If the students truly show remorse for what they've done they are acquitted, if not:
REVIEW BOARD Pt.3
They are pronounced guilty, blindfolded, and marched to the quad where they are "executed" by a mock firing squad
Obviously, the weapons contain blanks.
After the "execution" ends, they are handed their final grade of an A
That's my idea I don't think it's pragmatic though.
Looking for lighter suggestions

Why shouldn’t they be regulated in any way? I’m guessing there are some pibble fans on here. Need this for my research

They seem like a C to B+ culture at best.
Their day to day culture sounds quite annoying.
Their business culture has 1 good idea and 5-6 bad ones.
Their food etiquette seems good in terms of how to handle the plate. The toasting seems fine enough.
My primary issue is that Spanish culture sounds pretty average to above average at best and nothing in it makes it sound like a great and successful culture, on top of that everything the Spanish are doing in their culture the French seem to already do the same things but way better. It's like watching a knock off version of France that failed.
Even their famous quotes do not sound impressive. Honestly some of them unironically sound dumb.
“Life is not what one lived, but what One remembers and how One remembers it in order to recount it”
― Gabriel García Márquez
See. This quote feels like somebody trying to sound profound but there is no real meaningful/ worthwhile message in it. Americans have far more useful and better sounding quotes about the same issue.
There is not a single thing I found in Spanish cultural practices that some country out there isn't doing far better than them.
I found their funny hats though. The Capirote. https://cdn.thinkwebcontent.com/articles/32776/16x9/32776-1617377210--DpNrjj-SemanaSanta-hoodies-Wiki.jpg
The funniest bit for me was that the Spanish had been taken over by North African arabs for centuries in its history. That's how cucked their culture is. Somehow still managed to conquer Latin America though before getting BTFO'ed in the Oceans by the English. Spaniards are as far as I can gather the children of mixed African/Arab/European /Homo Sapien/ Neanderthal descent.
So someone tell me is there anything actually redeemable about Spanish culture?

Is there anything better than based black people? No.
If people did this on social media it would be called being an influencer:
Somehow the descendants of slavery are paying reparations to the slavers:
The majority of that money was sent back to Somalia. They were going back home rich

Here is the trailer to remind you of what I am talking about.
The entire original Lord of the Rings Trilogy cost around 281 million to make.
For reference, game of thrones Season 4 cost around 60 million to make.
Amazon is literally going to lose all the money on this show calling it right now.

The trailer for 1Up is offering a first look at Ruby Rose's latest film, which centers around the world of competitive gaming. Directed by Kyle Newman, whose previous work includes Fanboys and Barely Lethal, the upcoming comedy follows Vivian, an esports g*mer who, after receiving a college scholarship to play for Barrett University, faces sexism within the school's male-dominated squad and ends up forming her own all-girls team to compete at nationals. In addition to Rose, who stars as Vivian's coach, Parker, the film features Hubie Halloween's Paris Berelc, Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Hari Nef. 1Up, produced by Lionsgate and Buzzfeed Studios, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime on July 15, 2022.
The first trailer for 1Up was recently released by Lionsgate Movies and introduces audiences to Berelc's nationally-ranked player Vivian, as well as the dynamic between her and Dustin, the captain of Barrett's team. It also reveals a lot about Parker and previews some of her seemingly unconventional coaching tactics.
Ruby Rose is perhaps best known for her roles in popular projects such as Orange Is the New Black and Pitch Perfect 3. Most recently, she starred as Kate Kane on the CW's Batwoman before exiting after one season and later issuing complaints against Warner Bros. With a surrounding cast full of rising talent, 1Up certainly has all of the makings of a hit, and followers of Rose can check it out when it hits Amazon Prime next month.
