Topic: Berkeley removes 20,000 hours of online college lectures because deaf people complained no subtitles

Subtitles help if the lecturer mumbles at a critical point.

Also subtitles mean:
1) You don't have to take notes because the notes are pre-written.
2) You can get through an hour lecture in 5 minutes of reading.


COLLEGE WOULD LITERALLY SAVE PEOPLE SO MUCH TIME if professors simply emailed everyone their lectures in written form. Instead of 6 hours a day in classes, it's now 30 minutes reading them. And no need to take notes since you have it written down.

lectures aren't prewritten though. first they have to actually happen. a good professor is not reading from a god damn script.

PS fuck the deaf

just because you are too dumb to differentiate real sources from fake ones doesn't mean other people are weird

I don't watch TV or the news either (or read the news either) which is why I sometimes seem uninformed on current issues.

I do occasionally (once every few days) check @realDonaldTrump to see what's going on. But even that not very often.
