There was this movie, 'dont look up'

There is also narrative to scare society. Because frightened people are easier to manipulate with.

[DangitBobby → t0bia_s]

So how do we tell the difference between something actually scary and something designed to manipulate us?

[t0bia_s → DangitBobby]

Does articles like these scare you? If so, why?

[DangitBobby → t0bia_s]

I don't remember the article in question so I can't say, but I can tell you that you didn't answer my question.

On: Ask HN: Difficulties with going back to school

The open university so far is doable for me while working full time. I study Part-Time, BSc at this pace takes 6 years.

Full Bsc Degree costs around 20k€ I believe. Sometimes the money I paid for the module is biggest motivation to do the work needed, sometimes I enjoy the courses. First year (cyber) did take very few hours with my current work experience. I am in second (full time equivalent-) year now and it's getting a bit more interesting, but still nowhere near the hours I expected to put.

Their math materials are awesome - I wish I would have taken maths over cyber. (But would have much less of a life because I would need to put much more effort)

Edit: I should add maybe: I am self taught working in a DevOps position and am older than you. I left school after 10 years, and I don't have the high school requirements to study in most universities in Europe.
