Imagine the following scenario: you meet someone in college, and when you graduate at 22 you don’t want to split up. They say sure, let’s live together, but we need to get engaged; if it doesn’t work out we can just break it off. After a year you realize your lives are much better together. You decide to get married but not to have kids until you’re 30. If it doesn’t work out you can divorce, but you sign a prenup and at least no kids would be involved.
If you both have clear and compatible career goals, that scenario saves you a lot of dating drama and gives you valuable support. I wouldn’t call someone in that scenario “weird.”

Study for college. Seriously, just allocate many hours a day for it. it’s boring at first but gets better after a while. You don’t have to go to an Ivy League, any mid-range state college will have cool people and walkable infrastructure. If you don’t have a lot of money, do the first couple years at a community college and talk to counselors to make sure the credits transfer. Once you’re in college, be proactive and seek more advice.
AI has a strong boom/bust cycle. We’re currently in the middle of a “boom.” It’s possible that this is an “eternal September” scenario where deep networks and LLMs are predominant forever, or…
Thanks! “The Slaying of the Spaniards” sounds like something out of Borat, but it shows how we take things like international rescue operations for granted these days
FWIW apparently the deer was tame and she only kept it while making a movie (and maybe for a bit afterwards while she was recovering from a miscarriage.) In the movie, her character was followed around by a deer so it had to get used to being near her beforehand. source
