    Yes you did fuck face. That’s the truth. I reached out to you because I was in a bad marriage and drowning in my addiction.  I was on my way to rehab when you spilled everything on SSS. You’re the type of person who puts his foot on the top of the head of someone drowning instead of offering a hand to help. You’re the worst person I know.

    Newsflash dickhead, I never had access to SSS. I know this is hard for you to comprehend because fantasy and reality are both a blur in your meth rattled head. You see, ever since I got a job and a family I haven’t posted with any of the same volume or giveafuckness since Hornfans almost 20 years ago.

    It’s a sad world when I find myself aligned with a guy who outed his own brother with horrible shit that has been held against him for a decade because this guy wanted to have some fun hating on his own family. But here we are. I’m with this guy on Beau Vine’s academic pomposity towards a student who deigned to miss class due to a natural disaster. 

    I’ve received death threats on the last few pages. Let’s not get dramatic. 

    You are a weak shitheel suckling from the government teet while the world burns around you. You’re doing nothing and getting paid while you act above it all on this thread, Professor. Spare us your righteous indignation. Also, consider laying off the sauce with your posting habits.

     

    I outed my own brother?? Lol. Is that what that shitfucker made you all believe when he begged for leniency in the SSS? Bizarro world.

    One whose students turn in absolute shit work that takes forever to grade if they don't come to class.

    If you act like a responsible adult, people will treat you like a responsible adult.  If you don't, they won't.  

    It's not fucking complicated.

    And you’re making it complicated. You stated the guy had too many absences (lol) but was doing “pretty well” which is likely a B average.   You might be better suited for teaching 2nd grade English where attendance and conduct matters.

    Sounds like your class sucks. Don’t know where you teach but I’d venture to guess your class only starts to add students  once the desired profs are full.

    I’ve offered thoughts and questions math, Houston, Austin, etc. I’m not a wet blanket and think that some of the shit that’s magnetizing some of you guys to this is comical or worthy of balance. Admonishing me to be nicer, post more like you, or leave is not going to have the intended effect. There are plenty of us reading this thread who have independent thoughts, so get over the selfishness, common in everything I’ve ever read from you, and deal with differing positions. 

    Between you and Brad whining, the original question I asked of Greenspoint still hasn’t been answered and it is entirely germane to the discussion. Guys that come on here referencing percentages without citing the reference or origin to the actual math creating the percentages are either p-hacking the topic to make a show of their view or hijacking the topic using bad math. It appears the irony is lost on both of you guys that that is explicitly and obviously what I tried to get clarity on while you each climbed over yourselves to defend the guy by telling me to get out of the way of whatever the facts are that you’d like to see, that also aren’t prevented by any single poster also posting. 

    Tl;dr. You’re an annoying bitch. On every board.

  6. I wholeheartedly agree natural sciences degrees by themselves are shitty and only allow you to teach HS biology, but many of them are springboards for careers in medicine, pharma, and if played smartly with a business degree or good business acumen, can land yourself on the good side of health care (not the shitty side where I work, think ChiTownDoc side)

  7. College didn’t educate me for shit. I was already educated by the time I got there. All college did was get me a degree that allowed me to get a second, high paying degree that educated me plenty. 
     

    How many majors are marketable and allow for jobs that can sustain a family, owning a home, etc???  Sure, you can get a philosophy degree and end up starting your own business in something completely unrelated and have $50M in the bank by the time you’re 50, but most likely, you’ll have some shitty 30k/yr job and live in an apartment with roommates forever and lament how life isn’t fair. 
     

    Here’s a solution. You want a degree with zero real life usefulness that doesn’t pay for shit once you graduate? Make the universities have the student pay in cash —those majors are not eligible for loans.  Oh, you don’t want to study engineering, business, or natural sciences?? Too fucking bad, hippie, leave. 

  8. Way too much emphasis in this country on telling all kids they need to go to college.  I don’t have the numbers, but it “seems” like, compared to every other country on this planet, we have more colleges/universities per capita. Also, unnecessary. There needs to be a much bigger driving force to vocational jobs, which pay very well, and do not incur the massive debts that traditional colleges do. That begins at the HS level with good counselors and realistic parents.  
     

    I have no faith that it will happen.   I just paid back over 400k in my wife’s school loans and took about 7 years (accelerated in the last 2). Many of those loans were private loans with up to 12% interest. Absolutely fucking criminal. And she had collateral, she’s an MD. But, in residency, only making 60k/year, you can’t expect to put any kind of dent in that number and the juice is running the whole fucking time. 

  9. Finally, one of the teams I support wins a fucking championship, but cheats its way to it (getting caught is the part I actually give a shit about), giving this city another fucking asterisk on its only major championships. 

  10. Talked to my parents almost every day while in college/school. If 2 days went by without calling, my mom would passive aggressively say, “ohhh, it’s so nice of you to call and think of us”. Must be an immigrant family thing. They just care more about their kids than whiteys
