[sweboy]

that's strange, i don't remember that picture being taken

[sweboy]

guys it just occured to me that "i spilled" and "ice build" sound exactly the same

[808]

"Isle of view" and "I love you" sound exactly the same if you say it at normal speed.

[Already_Taken]

that could come in handy one day

[Reaganista]

swe they will ban u 4 sayin that

[Iskandar]

No I'm not. I've just been de-italicized. I can ban you to prove it if you want.

[mph4ever]

this is exactly how nazi germany started

[Iskandar]

But seriously where did my italics go.

[Reaganista]

well that ****ing sucks

[mph4ever]

No I'm not. I've just been de-italicized. I can ban you to prove it if you want. obviously some moderators are more equal than others

[sweboy]

swe they will ban u 4 sayin that

i hope they dont do that!

[Chaindrive]

But seriously where did my italics go.

You lost 'em when you switched from Supermod to Mod.

Now you're a stealth mod.

Some questions that I had to answer for a job prescreening:

These words belong to the same logical family:
AFGHAN
INDEFINITELY
SYNOPSIS
STUPENDOUS
BURST

Which of these words does too?
GLACIAL
COMPANION
RESCRIPT
HIJACKER

I don't think I understand these I went with glacial

These words follow a logical progression:
TRUSTFUL
SALTWORT
TOMORROW
OFFENDER
EXERTION
ROYALIST

Which of these could come next?
PEDIGREE
HYPNOTIC
ARTERIAL
JUDGMENT

I went with hypnotic

can some person smarter than me tell me how to do these

[Iskandar]

Some questions that I had to answer for a job prescreening:



I don't think I understand these I went with glacialNo, it said Afghan so the logical answer is hijacker.

[beso negro]

Was this a psychiatric test, or an intellegence test?

it was a logic an aptitude test required for a job interview.

[beso negro]

No, it said Afghan so the logical answer is hijacker.

lol you are correct but for the wrong reason.

it's HIJacker because each of the words has three consecutive letters in it:
aFGHan
inDEFinitely
syNOPsis
STUpendous
buRST

[Reaganista]

that's not logic

[mph4ever]

it is for serving burgers at wendys

[Iskandar]

lol you are correct but for the wrong reason.

it's HIJacker because each of the words has three consecutive letters in it:
aFGHan
inDEFinitely
syNOPsis
STUpendous
buRSTI was kidding. It's a stupid thing to ask a potential employee in any case. They could ask you something relevant to the job you'd be doing instead.

[Reaganista]

they could make you play spot the difference

[sweboy]

or where's waldo

[beso negro]

I was kidding. It's a stupid thing to ask a potential employee in any case. They could ask you something relevant to the job you'd be doing instead.

obviously they want only the brightest engineers so how can you blame them. they did ask me some job relevant questions at the end but the first 30 (out of 40) were logic and brain teasers. All companies in the private sector do that, at least in this field.

still trying to figure out the second one.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Seems more like pattern-spotting than logic.

[mph4ever]

seems more like spa spotting than anything

[Iskandar]

Seems more like Trainspotting.

Oh, **** it.

[Chaindrive]

You know, that was my thought.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The answer is arterial.

[beso negro]

but why

[Dave de Sylvia]

4th and 5th letter in each word are the 1st and 8th in the one that follows

[beso negro]

nice did you find that online somewhere

[Iskandar]

I guess this is to see if you have a cold, calculating mind like a computer instead of any lingering traces of humanity.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Nope, just figured out the pattern. I just googled it though and found a full test paper of them (without solutions): http://web.media.mit.edu/~walter/MAS-A12/week4notes.html

[Reaganista]

about 95% of the difficulty in those problems comes from the time spent converting the letters into numbers
unless you weren't allowed to write anything then it would be about how many numbers you can hold in ur head at once

[beso negro]

don't need numbers for this one:

These words follow a logical progression:
SUNKEN
MONASTICISM
TUESDAY
WEDGIES
THUMB-SUCKER
FRIVOLITY

Which of these could come next?
SQUANDER
SATIATE
MINE
TABLE

[Reaganista]

table for table top gaming

[beso negro]

come on tway that's one of the easier ones i thought you were a genius

[Reaganista]

sunken - cuz of the basement dwelling
monasticism - cuz they play a cleric or sommat
tuesday - tuesday is gaming night
wedgies, thumb-sucker, frivolity - self explanatory

it's table top gaming

[McP3000]

that looks intense Beso Negro

[Chaindrive]

These words follow a logical progression:
SUNDAY (KEN)

[beso negro]

i see where you're going tway but semantics aren't important for this. the sequence and pattern of the letters is what you need to look at.

[Chaindrive]

Isquandar.

Happy now?

:D

[Dave de Sylvia]

My favourite kebab shop in the world is called Iskander's.

[Iskandar]

Yeah but that means it's Turkish and they aren't really people. But I hope that every time you go there it reminds you of this forum. So you'll associate it with skewered meat.

[FattyKnee]

He's talking to Tway except Tway's got imaginary posts atm.

Racist.

[Mister_Che]

that would be less laughable if you had an ounce of aviation knowledge. flying a boeing passenger jet 10 feet off the ground at 300 mph into the side of a 3 story building without taking out any of the adjacent light poles is almost 99% impossible. the plane is not that agile.

on top of that they covered the lawn immediately after, nobody "important" in the pentagon happened to be killed in their office, and there are absolutely no jet engines, wings, seats or luggage in any of the pictures i've seen, maybe you can help me out there. oh yeah and the government seized all surveillance from private businesses that would have seen the "plane" immediately after and it is still classified, which the tapes of the planes hitting the WTC are not. this is all indisputable in my eyes.

I figured I would respond even if the thread was closed:

1. Light poles:

2. Government seizing surveillance:

It's evidence, so it had to be seized. If it still has use in a trial, it will be held until it's no longer needed.

Major lol at all the supposed evidence to the contrary being indisputable in your eyes. Maybe you could use a new pair.

Tomorrow I'm going to have to put up with an entire city of drunk people thinking it's cool to be Irish. Why, God, why?

Irish people are Cat-olics.

so what? you get your italics back and checked your brain at the login

there is no such thing as an irish prod. theere are prods that live in ireland but they aint irish

did he work there at that time, there was a nice old lad there at that time. if i was going to a gig in dublin then the foggy was the only spot, still is to be honest. there, or the international, or maybe hogans.

Wait are you serious?

sure, they are not irish, not like the irish anyways. they gave paddy the vote, but they kept the land and the link to britain. that makes them not irish

oh, and if you remeber in the last history lesson i gave, they took all the oak forests to fight the spanish too!

[Smokey D]

You don't think any Irish ever converted?

Anyway, that's about as silly as saying the English aren't English because they're from Friesland or whatever. If my family had lived in a country for 800 years or something, I'm pretty sure I can claim nationality. And aren't heaps of Irish actually descended from Spanish people and Vikings?


oh, and if you remeber in the last history lesson i gave, they took all the oak forests to fight the spanish too

Lol.

[808]

Proddy dogs.

[Iskandar]

sure, they are not irish, not like the irish anyways. they gave paddy the vote, but they kept the land and the link to britain. that makes them not irishScotland and Wales are politically tied to Britain and there are still Scottish and Welsh peoples. Though I admit since Celtic culture in general has been on the decline for the last few hundred years it's harder to draw firm distinctions.
oh, and if you remeber in the last history lesson i gave, they took all the oak forests to fight the spanish too!Are you sure you didn't just lift that from the plot of MacBeth.

so what, you're actually mauri now or something?

ha ke ke ke ke

i'm not really sure where the irish are from. i associate an irish gene pool with brown or fair hair and a red beard, if they grow it. i read somewhere recently that the vast majority of scots are descended from paddies, not that you coudl tell by the way they play rugby though.

[Iskandar]

Aren't you forgetting that the Maori were there like four thousand years before white New Zealanders.

(I don't actually know the exact time frame so back me up here.)

His name was Jim. He looked like a 70-year-old version of Elvis.

i read somewhere recently that the vast majority of scots are descended from paddies
Scotland was colonised by successive waves of Irish in the late Roman period. 'Scotti' was the Latin word for 'Irish'

[Smokey D]

to what?

Protestantism. I bet a few ethnic Gaels somewhere converted and that they had children whose descendents still live in Ireland today.

so what, you're actually mauri now or something?

No but I'm definitely a New Zealander.

Scotland is called Scotland because the Gaelic Scoti invaded it during the Dark Ages. Whether the 'vast majority' of todays Scots are descended from the Irish invaders, I dunno.

But Irish is a nationality, not an ethnicity.


Aren't you forgetting that the Maori were there like four thousand years before white New Zealanders.

(I don't actually know the exact time frame so back me up here.)

More like 400-600 years. And I don't get why that makes me any less a New Zealander.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I bet a few ethnic Gaels somewhere converted and that they had children whose descendents still live in Ireland today.
Ireland has had 500 years of Protestantism. The likelihood of there being a Protestant who isn't majority Gael is miniscule.

[Smokey D]

Assuming that there is an overwhelming majority of people in Ireland who are majority Gael. I'm not sure about the demographics, but lots of Irish people are descended at least in part from Vikings, Scots (I dunno if they were originally Scotti) and English people. The idea that all Irish are ethnically Gaelic is as stupid a national myth as all Irish are Catholic.

I mean, as far as we know Celts came from middle Europe but most males in the British Isles including Ireland have ancestors from Iberia and few if any from Central Europe.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Well I was using 'Gael' as the opposite of 'Anglo-Irish.' That's assuming 'Gael' includes all assimilated Vikings and Normans. My basic point was that the Protestant Anglo-Irish community in Ireland has mixed with pre-Protestant Gaelic-Irish for centuries and the likelihood that there is a pure Protestant class or anything close to it is ridiculous.

[Smokey D]

Yes I can agree with that.

[McP3000]

congrats

well through the fog of time i seem to remember him. jaysus, we could be distant cousins or something hahaha

was it not more like scooti


More like 400-600 years. And I don't get why that makes me any less a New Zealander.
have you played rugby from pre-school onwards?

theres a school close by that won't let catholics in. in the south east that is. up to 30 years ago, interbreeding was shunned by the middle and upper protestant classes. i know of families and business' that were destroyed by such prejudices. any of the directories up to the time of the free state that listed catholics as "gentlemen" were used as list to target pre free state sympathisers. my very own house was seized by the free state because a catholic unionist lived there. they all emigrated. so maybe not in recent time since there are not that many practicing catholics left and the proddies seem to have relaxed the rules a little but for a very long time before that there was an exclusive protestant class.

[Smokey D]

have you played rugby from pre-school onwards?


No. Soccer is more popular than rugby.

But it's highly unlikely that class was completely non-Gaelic let alone non Irish.

[Iskandar]

Scotland is called Scotland because the Gaelic Scoti invaded it during the Dark Ages. Whether the 'vast majority' of todays Scots are descended from the Irish invaders, I dunno.

But Irish is a nationality, not an ethnicity.And the Gaels displaced the Picts who were there before them and in turn were displaced (in the south) by the Anglo-Saxons. I find it hard to believe none of these people mixed with each other. Europe is about the worst place (aside from probably Africa) to claim you're a "pure" ethnicity.
More like 400-600 years. And I don't get why that makes me any less a New Zealander.I thought the Polynesian cultures were a lot older than that. I guess they arrived at New Zealand later than most other places.

Either way New Zealander is a nationality. I mean I don't get the impression you have a culture distinct from that of other Anglo nations.

[mph4ever]

No. Soccer is more popular than rugby.

another myth undone

But it's highly unlikely that class was completely non-Gaelic let alone non Irish.
i guess over the course of centuries there were a few.

[Iskandar]

So wait, does globalization mean I'm going to have to start caring about soccer.

[DBoons Ghost]

I enrolled my daughter in a soccer program! I look forward to being one of those idiot parents on the sidelines who screams at everyone.

[808]

My sister plays in a soccer league, and my mum's told me that several parents have come close to fighting each other. I hope you don't become one of those guys.

[Iskandar]

I take it this is like hockey dads in Canada.

[cobert]

This lack of blue-green skin is whack.

I just signed up for my campus 'greener behrend' club so I can be even more pretentious and act like an environmentalist.

I also just totally bombed an Art History test. This won't feel so terrible when my girlfriend comes up to visit me in a few hours.

[Iskandar]

I don't know why people keep saying it's greenish. It was blue. Everybody must be colourblind but me.

I don't know what a behrend is (though it sounds German) but environmentalism is cool as long as it's actual environmentalism and not "green" marketing hype. Which it probably isn't. Idk you tell me.

Also lol at art history.

[808]

It depends on your computers colour calibration and all that good stuff. It was definitely a little bit greenish here on my end, and my settings are perfect.

[Iskandar]

It's about as green as Shell's desperate attempt to show the world they care about the planet.

Or any fuel company. Or any company in general.

[808]

It's more blue than green but there's some green to it, no doubt.

[Iskandar]

I never touch the settings on my computer and it always looked deep blue to me.

[mph4ever]

wait. has something changed around here colour wise?

[808]

Jeremy pulled the blue skin.

[Iskandar]

Also known as the only good skin.

[DBoons Ghost]

My sister plays in a soccer league, and my mum's told me that several parents have come close to fighting each other. I hope you don't become one of those guys.


Nah I'm kidding, and yes Drop it's just like hockey dads in Canada.
Truly dei the "sessions" are at 9AM on Sundays. Pretty sure I'll still be asleep.

[808]

What if someone "steps" to you?

[mph4ever]

help me out here, i'm colourblind. i run light as my style, should i have noticed a change?

[808]

Jeremy took out the blue skin. There were no changes made to the light skin.

[mph4ever]

it all looks blueygreeny to me

[808]

Get your eyes fixed.

[DBoons Ghost]

What if someone "steps" to you?


Lol.

[808]

Lol.

It happens, man. I read about it online.

[DBoons Ghost]

Yeah I haven't heard that saying since the late 80s is all.

[cobert]

I don't know why people keep saying it's greenish. It was blue. Everybody must be colourblind but me.

I don't know what a behrend is (though it sounds German) but environmentalism is cool as long as it's actual environmentalism and not "green" marketing hype. Which it probably isn't. Idk you tell me.

It was definitely more green than blue.

Behrend refers to Penn State Erie, or Penn State Behrend, the campus I'm at.

It's definitely legit environmentalism, it's not some ploy to get people to feel comfortable while buying **** they don't need. I can dig it.

Art history is an interesting class. I only took it because I thought I needed art general education credits, but nobody told me I was already getting one for being in the campus orchestra, so I really didn't need it.

This test straight raped me, the professor puts study guides online before each test and the one for this test was awfully misleading and had little to do with what the test ended up having.

[Iskandar]

It was definitely more green than blue.No.
Art history is an interesting class. I only took it because I thought I needed art general education credits, but nobody told me I was already getting one for being in the campus orchestra, so I really didn't need it.Interesting maybe but totally useless. What's your major?

[808]

Art history.

[Iskandar]

Art history is the major people in other majors like to laugh at.

[beso negro]

I have a friend who majored in art. graduated last year. still looking for a job.

[cobert]

No.

Yep.

Interesting maybe but totally useless. What's your major?

Secondary education.

[beso negro]

in what subject

[cobert]

Art history is the major people in other majors like to laugh at.

Actually that's business. Saying "I'm a business major" is usually saying "My parents wanted me to go to college and I would feel like a loser if I didn't, plus I wanted to delay adulthood and party a lot, except I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life because I lack motivation, so I chose a ridiculously easy major."

I ****ing hate business majors. I overheard a mechanical engineering major say his GPA was a 2.8 last semester, and some business major started calling him stupid and saying his was a 3.6. No ****, you don't have to take calc 3.

[cobert]

in what subject

Social studies. I'm going to minor in history.

[808]

I have a friend who majored in art. graduated last year. still looking for a job.

I'm pretty sure most recent graduates are still looking for jobs, no matter what they picked as their major.

[beso negro]

no not if you are in engineering/math/science and can pass a security clearance. also helps if you live near D.C. and Baltimore.

[mph4ever]

I have a friend who majored in art. graduated last year. still looking for a job.

nearly everyone who graduates this year is going to be still looking for a job a year later, no matter what the major/minor/either. if any of you have the chance to extend your time in academia then take it, seriously.

Why do you keep being a mod and not being one.

[808]

I let some other user have my dei account when I was a mod under that one, and he told everyone so Jelle removed all their powers. Then he made me mod under this name. When the boards got ****ed over, I was promoted to admin and I guess Jeremy didn't like that so he demoted me down to regular user.

[McP3000]

[808]

It's a secret (I didn't do it) and my name is not in italics. Unless you're talking about dei, then I don't know. I don't have the password or email to that account anymore.

[McP3000]

why. Can't you just get jeremy or superpeer to reset it for you

[808]

superpeer is not an admin anymore, I don't think.

[McP3000]

oh dear

is it just jeremy? if it is my point still stands

[808]

Nevermind, superpeer is still an admin. He wasn't for a while, though.

I'll ask one of them later.

[Iskandar]

It's a secret (I didn't do it) and my name is not in italics.It was the last time I was online. Weird.

Jelle needs to be an admin because Jeremy isn't really online that much (understatement).

[Smokey D]

I ****ing hate business majors. I overheard a mechanical engineering major say his GPA was a 2.8 last semester, and some business major started calling him stupid and saying his was a 3.6. No ****, you don't have to take calc 3.

Finance and economics both require pretty good calculus skills.

What exactly is a business major? In NZ if you do a bachelor of commerce you specialise in either Finance, Eco, Accounting, Marketing or some other thing.

Oh, and management.

I don't think you can do 'business' as a major.

[808]

I think most business majors here focus on management.

[Iskandar]

I think you just answered your own question.
I don't think you can do 'business' as a major.If you do something business-related and/or go to a business school you call yourself that. Economics is often considered separate from "business" in my experience though, probably because it has less to do with actually running a business or some **** like that.

[cobert]

Most people that major in business are just business management. I understand that economics is a lot more complicated that management.

[Smokey D]

I think you just answered your own question.

Why are you guffawing at people in business majors then? Doesn't sound like a dumping ground for dumb people at all.

[Iskandar]

Why are you guffawing at people in business majors then? Doesn't sound like a dumping ground for dumb people at all.I don't remember doing that. I was making fun of art history majors.

Or taking the mickey. Or whatever you Zyeelenders say.

Business is useful but patently boring. Economics somewhat less so.

Then there's politics which seems useful but actually isn't.

[808]

I took economics with a Persian dude. He was pretty cool.

[Mr. Ron]

this chick in my English history class is an "art therapy" major. LOL

[Dave de Sylvia]

The most useless major is obviously labour studies. Whatever happened to Danish anyway?

[cobert]

wut

wut
idk what it even is really


sounds like you use arts and crafts to help people get rehabilitated or some stupid garbage

[cobert]

Pretty sweet gig.

[gregulus]

Any business major who tries to talk down to anyone for their GPA is delusional. That said, I do know a lot of dumb engineering majors too. Few things are more annoying than the average pre-med, though.

[Smokey D]

My cousin does music therapy. I assume art therapy is something similar. Basically it's using music (art) to connect with mentally ill people or disabled people. Probably deeply rewarding but not financially so.

The most useless major is obviously labour studies. Whatever happened to Danish anyway?

It's probably pretty good if you have aspirations of being an apparatchik, which Danish probably does.

[Dave de Sylvia]

yeah but i mean you hardly need a qualification for that

a loud speaking voice will usually suffice

[Smokey D]

Not one step backwards!

[beso negro]

anyone else wake up in a pool of their own vomit?

wow what a night

[Iskandar]

It's probably pretty good if you have aspirations of being an apparatchik, which Danish probably does.A union apparatchik, I take it.

Or a union leader.

Labour studies is probably as useful as women's studies or something. Just because it's specialized doesn't mean it's useless.

Though there is Carribean studies.

[cobert]

anyone else wake up in a pool of their own vomit?

wow what a night

My entire residence hall smells like puke.

[Iskandar]

If you puke you drank too much.

[Knifeboy]

if you puke you're a pusssy

[gregulus]

If you puke you drank too much.

You don't say?

[Knifeboy]

i puke when i don't drink enough!

[mph4ever]

i never puke from drink

there is something in certain tomato based sauces that stops me digesting, never feel sick but have to stick two fingers down my throat the next day and most of what i consumed since the sauce comes back. mad tasting food and drink in reverse

[cobert]

I don't drink, so I can't relate.

[McP3000]

smoke weed

[Iskandar]

Every day.

[McP3000]

hell yes

[beso negro]

drugs are dumb drinking is so much more fun

[McP3000]

both are beyond fun what are you talking about

i prefer getting smashed though

(i also get baked 5x as much as i get drunk though)

[Knifeboy]

I drink because I love the taste. i don't think I'd enjoy the taste of drugs, so i've never done them

[beso negro]

I can't smoke it would prevent me from getting a security clearance.

Yet the older I get the more I realize marijuana is much safer than alcohol these laws make no sense.

[Iskandar]

drugs are dumb drinking is so much more funAlcohol is a drug and a more potent one than marijuana.

[Knifeboy]

Yet the older I get the more I realize marijuana is much safer than alcohol these laws make no sense.


I agree completely

[McP3000]

I can't smoke it would prevent me from getting a security clearance.

Yet the older I get the more I realize marijuana is much safer than alcohol these laws make no sense.
yeah basically

if everyone was baked there'd be no broken laws. we'd be just chillin and too lazy to do anything

[Iskandar]

Marijuana is probably about as harmful and cigarettes and those have never been illegal so.

[McP3000]

Marijuana is probably about as harmful and cigarettes and those have never been illegal so.
but cigarettes are addictive and prone to use more often

but i guess i you get bigger emotional swings off weed

[Knifeboy]

ugh, cigarettes

stinky sticks of crap

[ridethelib]

Smoking anything is bad for one's health.

Make brownies and cookies instead. -__-

[Mr. Ron]

I've decided that I do not want to teach anymore.

[Iskandar]

Why not? It's a noble pursuit.

[gregulus]

Why not? It's a noble pursuit.

Teaching at any level below the university level would be terrible. Even then, teaching introductory undergraduate classes would also suck.

[Mr. Ron]

Why not? It's a noble pursuit.
I realized that my heart just isn't in it, and I don't have strong enough conviction to go on with it. I've been doing a lot of thinking about it and I think this is for the best.


I have no clue what else I want to do though, so yeah...

[Iskandar]

Teaching at any level below the university level would be terrible. Even then, teaching introductory undergraduate classes would also suck.Yeah unless you liked working with children which I imagine most elementary school teachers do. Not teenagers though. Nobody likes them.

Plus you get to shape young minds. Power! Unlimited power!

[gregulus]

Yeah unless you liked working with children which I imagine most elementary school teachers do. Not teenagers though. Nobody likes them.

Plus you get to shape young minds. Power! Unlimited power!

Yeah, but you get in trouble if you do anything deemed inappropriate.

[Reaganista]

the dropper how do i put you on ignore

[Smokey D]

Ron, you could become a policy analyst or an HR guy. Or lots of other things really.

There's lots of jobs out there for arts graduates which don't strictly relate to your major. My mum was a history major and she worked in the movies.

[Reaganista]

you could take the lsat its ez

[Smokey D]

What is lsat?

[Reaganista]

law school admission test

[cobert]

Yeah unless you liked working with children which I imagine most elementary school teachers do. Not teenagers though. Nobody likes them.

Plus you get to shape young minds. Power! Unlimited power!

I want to teach high school because the kids are able to understand more complex ideas. I would prefer teaching an AP class, but I know I'll get caught teaching some idiots.

I'm probably actually in it because I do indeed like the unlimited power associated with mind control.

I WILL TEACH THEM SECTIONS OF A PEOPLE'S HISTORY

Teaching has a high burnout rate, it's no surprise to see somebody decide their heart's not in it.

[FingersOfStone]

conservapedia is even funnier that stormfront:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality_and_Choice

[cobert]

Conservapedia is insulting to intelligence.

[beso negro]

me and a couple members of the libertarian club are diligently working on libertypedia.com which is set to debut sometime in 2011

[McP3000]

lol that would be awesome

[FingersOfStone]

Many believe that Islam is, with Atheism, currently the greatest threat to Christianity and Christian values, [5][6][7] and the overwhelming majority of modern terrorists are Muslims.

http://www.conservapedia.com/Islam

bahahahah

[mph4ever]

islam will rule by 2050

only ones strong enough to oppose it will be americans that will be mostly heterosexual white, black and hispanic christians

america will have developed enough defence mechanisms that isalm will not take it on

a quicker route would be an immediate halt to american foreign policy and a rapid return to total isolationism, like when the native americans ruled

[Mr. Ron]

Ron, you could become a policy analyst or an HR guy. Or lots of other things really.

There's lots of jobs out there for arts graduates which don't strictly relate to your major. My mum was a history major and she worked in the movies.
Yeah I have to talk to my adviser to see what I could do. I just never really did something in life and said to myself "Wow, this is what I really want to do for a career."

[Iskandar]

me and a couple members of the libertarian club are diligently working on libertypedia.com which is set to debut sometime in 2011Or we could use the real Wikipedia which tries to be impartial and is far more extensive.

[McP3000]

wikipedia is not impartial though

[Iskandar]

Oh yeah it has a liberal bias.

Not really though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

me and a couple members of the libertarian club are diligently working on libertypedia.com which is set to debut sometime in 2011
that club sounds like a barrel of laughs

[Iskandar]

Hey you're a neo-liberal which is pretty much the same thing.

[McP3000]

Oh yeah it has a liberal bias.

Not really though.
you see id agree with you but normally you compare sources to a moderate standpoint, not your standpoint

[Mr. Ron]

wikipedia has reputable content professors are just jealoz

[McP3000]

super jealous

[Iskandar]

you see id agree with you but normally you compare sources to a moderate standpoint, not your standpointI wouldn't agree with you because you're wrong and people who think Wikipedia and the MSM have a liberal bias are the fine folk who brought us Conservapedia.

[McP3000]

Conservapedia is a trolling site

tyvm

edit: MSM?

[suspect device]

all wiki contributors should be shot. then we wouldn't have to doubt if what they say was true or not

[McP3000]

oh great a new pnwi troll account

[Iskandar]

Hey, I'm a Wiki contributor! I take great offense to that!

[Dave de Sylvia]

Hey you're a neo-liberal which is pretty much the same thing.
Doesn't mean I actually like talking about it.

Why post on an alt when your main isn't banned.

Unless he thought he could keep it a secret. The very idea is laughable.

hey i know more about technology than you do about kebabs so don't be so silly. i was trying out my new avatar for size and couldn't resist commenting on the wiki reliable bs

and anyways, there is that little traffic around here that the alt account makes it look interesting, all the bold stuff and mph4ever everywhere

I don't know all that much about kababs though there is one called the Iskandar kabab.

Wikipedia is reliable sort of except when overenthusiastic nerds edit in their interpretation of fanon or some bs. Also new articles without any sourcing are obviously no good.

[Mr. Ron]

so who says the original authors were not just over enthusiastic nerds and everyone believed them

you have to learn to stop seeing things through the eyes of an interpreter because their opinion is obviously influenced by their circumstance

you must be your own authority

[Mr. Ron]

whenever I see the word "Kebab", I hear a woman with a thick mid-western accent say it in my mind.

[mph4ever]

her name is donna kebab
