Ahhh the hope, then he realises that the most he'll be doing for three years will be marking the ins and outs, then getting shit over exams. Or he could genuinely like that, in which case, more power to the man, albeit he's probably as interesting as a wet fart.
Spoons gimme a college update, how's it looking?
Got deferred from Columbia. Applied to a bunch more places that you'd probably disapprove of. Have a few more applications then just waiting it out till the spring unfortunately.
If he's in audit, he'll hate his fucking existence within months.
Only job I could think that would be worse, it's the equal to planting your face against concrete.Originally Posted by Luca
Test.
Stats? And the most important question, did you apply to Duke?
It's not my disapproval by the way Spoonsky, it's that of society at large. Do you really want to condemn yourself to a lifetime of being friendzoned and watching your female friends getting banged out by 'assholes'? You only get one last chance to not be a pussy and that's in college, don't fuck it up and resign yourself to an embittered life of an overmedicated over educated middle-class self-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.
Your egalitarian fantasies are just that, fantasies. All those idealistic liberal hell holes you build up in your mind, will organize and segregate themselves along the exact same socioeconomic lines you detest so much. But worse, they will disingenuously claim otherwise. You will be marginalized as a provincial ordinary public school kid from Utah. You didn't go to the right prep schools, your dad doesn't have a wikipedia page, and you're not sick enough to make up for it in other ways.
Listen to me. I know what I am talking about. Look at Mokbull, for all his blustering he is still in a fraternity, a former tennis star (if I'm not mistaken) and I would be surprised if he doesn't do all right for himself. This is how life works. You either buy in or you are left behind.
Have a day off, mate.
...I'm so bored at home, I need to get back to law school and hating my life
It's like Merts short absence on here was the deep breath that he took before he opened his mouth to start hurling again.
Have to give him credit, he is really committed to that persona of his.
Apart from when it's pointed out what an obviously wrong cock he is at which point 'Oh it's just lols bro'
See, even college choice is basically about having sex in your mind. Also I bet that me and MokBull applied to similar places, and that Stanford would also qualify as a liberal hell hole to you, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
It's not about sex, it's about status and respect in society. The female attention is an inevitable byproduct.
Stanford is a 'liberal hell hole' but it still has enclaves of 'patriarchal privilege' which can train you to thrive in the outside world (which Mokbull is shamelessly participating in). And besides, the Stanford degree and the associated network you'll develop in and of itself transforms your life into God mode, the same could not be said of some no name liberal arts school.
I'm quite enjoying him.
For anyone interested, this was a complex sentence although I have no idea why as she didn't give me a reason.
Unless I've read their style guidelines wrong, I will have to go through my entire manuscript and change 'quotes like this' into "quotes like this" (with similar reversals for quotes within quotes). Why? It looks crap like that, and I will inevitably miss a couple out and ruin the full thing.
Ctrl F works in Word.
You could use the replace all option too if you've only used ' in quotes.
It probably isn't possible to write a paragraph (or sentence) without using an apostrophe so you'd have to be some sort of anti-abbreviation deviant to manage it over anything longer.
Good idea.
I can"t imagine what could possibly go wrong with that approach.
I did say only if he used ' in quotes which isn't too far fetched in academic writing.
Also, with ctrl f it would highlight all uses so he could change them manually a lot easier.
So back in your boxes.
It"s still pretty farfetched.
Nobody is claiming CTRL+F wouldn"t help, but it"s hardly groundbreaking advice.
Not really, in academic writing abbreviations shouldn't really be used.
Yeah, there shouldn't really be any contractions in academic writing. But there might be some in quotes and that.
It's a massive pain in the arse anyway and goes against everything I've ever learned for quoting.
I have to clear all my own permissions as well. It's a disgrace. I should have just kept it to myself (and Benny hasn't made that Lofty cover for me).
Sure, but there could be possessive apostrophes and as Boydy"s post mentions, words within quotes.
Find and replace all of them to start with, and then find all the instances of "t, "s and replace them back. Five minute job.
There we are, that works.
As long as you include the space to remove any midsentence quotes starting T or S.
Or just chuck the whole thing, what is the point anyway.
BTW we got a high speed camera for the lab this week. Expect slow motion videos of me posting during work hours soon.
You might be able to get an article out of the visible stink lines.
Toby, well played.
An article? Five at least.
Conference paper, article, book chapter, follow-up 'Some thoughts on...' article and conference paper, and then a load of spin-offs about the methodology.
None of which will ever be read or cited in subsequent research.
Oh it will be cited (by myself.)
Also my advisor asked us to heckle an environmentalist that will be presenting at a nearby university in April.
The grant money is finally in so I will be working for the Israeli Department of Defense for the next two years.
Got my ass a counselling placement sorted, starting in the next couple of weeks. Not sure if I've mentioned it on here, but I can't wait.
Obviously money talks louder than THE SCREAMS OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN.
Doing what? Do you have to live there?
No, I get to stay here fortunately.
Just some studies on alternative fuels for their MURDEROUS BOMB-DROPPING JETS.
My friend's brother was 'offered' (told to apply by the people deciding who gets it) a post-doctoral position in Jerusalem and he BOTTLED IT.
If the money was good I would take it (I know absolutely nothing about life in Israel.) From there it is an easy path to Harold's backyard.
Starting my placement next week and I'm looking for insurance options. I've come across a website called 'therapist insurance' and it's just taken me a good 30 seconds of looking at the address to realise that it wasn't 'the rapist insurance'. I mean, I know you can get most things insured nowadays but fucking hell.
Finally handed in my MA dissertation.
I thought you were done like two years ago.
Reminds me I need to fill a form so that these wankers give me my MS at the end of the summer.
I didn't even start this two years ago.
I started this in September 2014 and should've been finished September 2015 but had to get extensions because of the shitty depression and that.
I see. Congrats.
Thanks.
PhD now? I am expecting you and Lewis over here before 2017.
