If they treat education like a product, they can't very well bitch when you act like a consumer.

I said something so clever, I'm quoting myself on the Internet!

Cain, at some point you posted a line, not sure if it was yours, about the disconnect in the SJW dialog... something about how one one end of the spectrum, trans kids are being thrown out of their homes and beaten, but most of the net dialog is about not offending somebody by using the wrong pronoun --- You got a copy of that floating around? I want to savor it some more.

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

That was Scott Alexander, aka Yvain from LessWrong.

I think it was one of those, though I'm not entirely sure.

QuoteSo, I saw this post somewhere in the past week in passing, and I have to comment on it. I forget where and I can't find it now. But any of you who are Trekkies (I'm sorry, but we're not Trekkers. You're a dork, own it) probably have seen it. It's that Date A Trekkie ad that has a blond woman in a TNG era engineering uniform giving the Vulcan salute while being human and smiling. The post was the sort of "spot-the-poser/what's-wrong-with-this-picture" sort of thing. The only thing that I could spot being wrong was that the uniform was ill-fitting. In the opposite direction, in that the uniform was not visibly constricting. Look dude. The lady is obviously a model doing an ad and possibly not a Trekkie. Maybe she is a Trekkie anyway. I don't see what's poser about it though, other than, perhaps, she's a cute female human giving/returning a Vulcan salute. Like you haven't seen a Frenchman played by an Englishman fixing Sarek's hand in the salute, or, strangely, being able to do the nerve pinch after the mindmeld. If you're going to nerd-shame the girls, don't complain about forever alone. FFS, it's Star Trek. It's only slightly more internally consistent than the Bible.

"There's a theory of my brain being stuck in two different dimensions. I get so mad, I yell, and talk fast I sound like I'm barking.

Also the giant amount of Conflation that occurs in conversations with me is scary enough. I don't choose to tune out, or slip out, but god damn it I admit it makes the conversations more fun. Somehow I believe my brain is trying hard to stop me from killing all of you. My obsessive compulsion to detail when I troll, lurk, and design is something I learned to admire now.

A year ago I thought maybe just maybe I might be slight autistic since it tends to have a wide spectrum in conditions.

Also I'm getting older which means I'm slacking off when it comes to hating you all. That and my newfound love for singing has occupied my time. I hope I get into the biomedical engineering field. I want to see if I can implant a device that can monitor and record the stupid things I say. My gift to you jackasses for giving me so many lulz over the years. I'm like that Jesus guy except I don't feed the poor. I grind their dead bodies into gun powder, and blast tea baggers with them. No one said I have to go down quietly. In fact I'm going down laughing until I shit my pants. Shitting your pants brings you closer to God. Why else would God allows us to eat at Freebirds, and Hard Rock Cafe.".
