Random Rants XLIX - IT CHAFES MY ARSE!!!

[Takhisis]

Don't do the readings.

Welcome to college.

People still read?

I don't mind the cost of the books as much as when the prof puts them as required reading but then never has us use them once (and actively tells us that the book is pretty useless). WHY DID YOU HAVE US BUY IT THEN YOU SILLY MAN!

As you can tell, I'm still annoyed at my physics prof over that.

This isn't related in any way to you being so cheap that you make proxies for Magic cards instead of paying the few cents each card is worth?

What's the advantage of Roman numerals over Arabic?

They can be incised more easily.

Nonsense. All 'Arabic' numerals can be used in those square forms thata re used in clocks and schtuff.

People buy books for college?

I just photocopy them.

An established man in the service of his lord, erm creed or calling, how is that not shmexy? It matter not what age your parents are if you're a young adult. Though I suppose the social scene of 18-22 year olds actually does wear thin over time as you move out of it. New theory: RT doesn't partake of the fruits of his siren's call, instead it's a curse he bears. Beating off the droves of adoring in-heat co-eds with a stick and a thick book of Marx quotes.

That might've worked back in the '60s (i.e. when Reindeer Thistle was in college age) but now being a pinko is so out.

Tak, puh-leez. Numbers aren't your thing, huh? 2013 minus 1968 is 45. Closet Trot. :/

Left college in 1992 as a student. Came back as a liberator.

Humanities student reporting for duty, sir!

it's interest to spot that you never said you graduated.

 

[ReindeerThistle]

Nope. Total drop-out. I left to organize!

Gori's right. You don't imagine a gravestone is going to look right with "digital clock face" numbers do you?

 

[Takhisis]

Nope. Total drop-out. I left to organize!

This goes right in with the CFCer stereotype of people who haven't finished uni.

I'm not the one who's going to be looking at my gravestone, man.

 

[madviking]

Naw, but you can look back fondly at co-eds. It's a unique life experience that gives you legitimate excuse to just hang around with 50% of your peers being cute, smart, 18-22 year olds of the desired gender.

i object to the underlined.

So even though my roommate just told me I'm nice and he loves me, those feelings might not carry through? Like, maybe not even into his upcoming sobriety?

Do you want him to love you?

 

[JohannaK]

Did anybody mention man-on-man love?

 

[Borachio]

Second only to pony on pony action. Amirite?

 

[JohannaK]

Unorite. Man-on-man always takes precedence.

#fiftychat, I need you!

 

[Joecoolyo]

Rant: My history course is making me feel stupid

Or, at least one of them is. The other one is pretty interesting.

 

[Takhisis]

Fiftychaaaaaaatttt!!!!

 

[hobbsyoyo]

They wouldn't hire me last year because I didn't have design team experience. Now that I do have it, they say,
'I see you have worked with the satellite team. Why do you want to work for us [aircraft manufacturer] if you dislike airplanes?'



Spent 3 very productive hours with a study group. We finished 1.5 problems.

 

[ReindeerThistle]

@Hobbs: tough break. Sleep in.

Rant: effin US gov't is giving the BRV delegation a bad time about visas, and the BRV is canceling the Maduro event Wed I was going to attend.

Spoiler even moar emo :

Top five cities in US with the pickiest women in dating.

3. Minneapolis

Naturally, I get upset over something I have no control over and whine about something ultimately trivial.

Top Ten Most Adulterous Alumni

1. University of Minnesota

I hate you, Minnesota.

Always have, always will.

I will never understand why my bastard parents dragged me out of my native Colorado in the first place.

Sorry. Feeling vengeful tonight, for unrelated reasons. Just wanted to post this before I forget again.

This goes right in with the CFCer stereotype of people who haven't finished uni.

Although that's mostly just because we're still in uni, or haven't gotten there yet.

 

[ReindeerThistle]

Tak's ribbing me because I am a commie...
