Math/Physics/Chemistry/CompSci-EEng(with some demented Algorithms/Circuits professors) is indeed universally tough stuff. You can tell simply by watching people studying humanities and other stuff go outside their uni at 8 PM with a relaxed look, sitting down on the steps and opening a beer while STEM people simply shuffle home looking like they have been soul-sucked by dementors for 8 hours.
I really, really <redacted> hate it when people ignore my jokes, and FYI, this happens every-<redacted>-where, not just here at CFC with you humorless bums.
Twitter and Facebook are especially egregious in this regard.
Why is all the best music in languages I can't understand? I can't learn them all, much as I'd love to. Breton, Occitan, Lithuanian, Hungarian... the list always grows.

In comparative terms of coursework, labs and demands placed by collegiate staff? Yeah. As to why I don't do it, I wanted to but decided on doing it later for personal enjoyment because you're virtually unemployable without connections and the right degree.
Finding a job once you have a degree in any of the majors...
Welcome future revolutionaries!
3 of the last five people I recruited were from Humanities: a PhD in comparitive philosophies; an MFA (and temp-worker art curator) and a history major who is finishing up the last year of college. The other two were an attendant care worker and the son of a press man.
Studying Humanities is great, I was a lit major; but becoming a revolutionary is better. However, we have also recruited Post-grad biologists (my gf is one); MDs, attorneys, an engineer, a German engineer; mathematicians, and farm workers, electricians, musicians; a Swiss social work professor, et al.
My "poor life decisions," are as follows:
1. Employment for life
2. No college loan debt
3. Not giving my life dreams up for a paycheck
4. Kicking bourgeoisie ass
5. Kicking government agency ass.
6. Kicking Trot, "lefty" and liberal ass.
7. Looking good doing it...
Ugh my mom again. I wanted to bring my girlfriend down to Portland to meet the folks but my mom is having none of it because she's black and my dad is afraid of going against my mom since he's still trying to get back on her good graces after his affair several years ago. The one girl that I'm truly happy with and she has to be melodramatic about it, literally sobbing around the house trying to garner pity or sympathy from anyone.
We were even gonna stay at my sister's place to spare my mom but this is how the conversation basically went down;
S: "Want to go for birthday dinner?"
M: "Is Leonel coming down?"
S: "Yes."
M: *Gets real quiet* "Is he bringing his girlfriend?"
S: "Yes."
M: "Where are they staying?"
S: "At our place."
M: "Don't do that! You're supporting them!"
S: "..."
And that's another thing! My folks are behaving like I came out gay or something! My mom is sobbing and my dad is like "Whatever your decision, you're still our son and we still love you." In fact, I'm pretty sure if I came out gay, they'd have a better reaction. "Is your boyfriend Asian? Does he know all the good dim sum spots? That's all that matters."
I still hold up hope that she'll come around. She came around for Hispanics and Japanese and is starting to come back around to Filipinos, but this racism crap isn't cute anymore.

Maybe spoke too soon about not getting a jerb this summer. Got a call today for a co-op job in St. Louis, got to go down to the factory and do an interview/plant tour next Friday. I need to have a pair of steel toed boots and I called my in-laws to see if I could borrow a pair for a day but they decided to just buy me a pair and send them to me.
I know, these are raves, but they are related to a rant I just posted here.

Also, I really thought people would read way to much into 'reverse sexism' in my last post and jump on my back for it.
I'd love to, but for some reason the past couple nights I haven't been able to sleep at all, which I guess is a separate (albeit somewhat related) rant.
Naw, it's far more insidious than that. The unipony breeding program is easy. You just throw a tarp over a stump and coat it in unicorn piss and they'll hump that thing like crazy.
