It's so tempting to try and find one of those imported Kei cars! 🚗 If I wasn't trying to go carless I would opt for the cutest smallest one.

I've been thinking about this while teaching undergrads. There's so much pressure to get straight As, and to appear not to struggle. If a class is "easy" that's a compliment to the professor. My students have full-time jobs and don't want to or can't show up a lot. AI exacerbates all this.
