    Tried using StackOverflow back in my college days and was confronted by a barage of people practically telling me I am stupid fuck in subtle and not so subtle ways. I am sure people on there being rude and demeaning didn’t help their case.

        Graduated summa cum laude…no thanks to them. I dedicated my degree to all the random Indians who had STEM related topics on youtube. Those guys dragged my ass throguh college for sure.

          I dedicated my degree to all the random Indians who had STEM related topics on youtube.

          This is the most relatable thing I’ve read all week. No way in hell I would have graduated had they not dragged me by my feet screaming through the math courses. For all of YouTube’s faults, those videos are true gems.

          I also ended up relying quite a bit on random old lectures from professors who can actually teach. No idea what schools they were lecturing at, but I wish the one I was at had more professors like them. Instead, they were all research professors who were being forced to lecture (or grad students in the same boat).
