Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves, for the statement that I am about to make is one that has been debated for centuries and is at the very core of some of the world's oldest and most influential belief systems. It's a statement that has sparked countless philosophical and theological discussions, and has been the subject of intense scrutiny by some of history's greatest minds. Are you ready for it? Here it comes: "The guy didn't resurrect because resurrection isn't possible."

definitely not oniony. Grades are a whole ass scam and do not at all reflect what you know. The people grading are incredibly inconsistent and a large portion of college grades is kissing ass and the vast majority of what the grade consists of is nonsense that wont ever be useful beyond college.

Think for 2 seconds about the real world. When you have to learn a new skill or be trained to do something for your job does your boss give you a grade? never. you just learn it and do it. The college money machine thrives off of separating students into classes and its just an overall terrible system. It especially profits off of people fighting and doing anything to meet arbitrary standards that have nothing but fiat value. Real educational value is virtually nonexistent anymore.

To be precise, it is a yield stress fluid, which means that when pushed a little bit, it acts like a solid, whereas when pushed a lot, it flows like a liquid. The (fuzzily defined) amount of push separating the two states is called the yield stress.
