Most people who stay in academia do so because they couldn’t hack it in the real world.

That’s why they get so squirrelly when you ask about work experience, they either don’t have any or they blew it super hard and had to return to the academia bubble.

I find that people high up in academics tend to lose touch with reality.

I remember in college one professor ranting and raving about how students worry about grades too much and that we should all focus on actually retaining the material.

It’s like yeah that’s a pretty thought but 70% of the class was there on scholarship so if we don’t make the grade we don’t finish and have a mountain of debt.

On a separate occasion the dean of engineering wasted 2 full lectures of ethics class ranting about how we should give to the alumni association and how “it’s a privilege to be here so we need to pay it back.”

There were over 100 people in that room who were in at least $60k of debt to the school and we still had another semester left before graduation.

These people have brains the size of planets but couldn’t comprehend in the slightest how reality gets in the way of their pretty little egalitarian ideals.

Sprint yourself to starvation then bust at the finish line and die.

Salmon are so based for doing this so I can have lox on my bagel

I’m so tired of these woke ingredients and liberals ruining my food. Have you seen baby oil recently?

There’s no fuckin baby in it

I feel like it’s pretty common for kids to see the actions of adults and think they’re all stupid until they themselves become adults and finally see what motivated those actions in the first place.

The few adults I’ve run into who maintained the whole “everyone else is such a moron” both overestimated their own intelligence by an order of magnitude and were cripplingly narcissistic.

It’s still inert.

Inert simply means that the chemical bonds are relatively stable, not that they’re indestructible.

You can decompose anything if you get it hot enough.

I was extremely baked when I asked that but I think it was a question about how some light will reflect off your eye into your eye therefore you’re seeing your own eyes.

Do you see your own eyes? Like without a mirror

Slots are just reusable lotto scratchers.

Blackjack is probably your game because it’s simple and I’ve seen minimum hands as low as $3.

Just don’t do what I did and convince yourself that you’re good at it because you did well in New Vegas.

Different slopes.

On top you kill one person per whole number increment. 0 -> 1 kills one person

On bottom you kill infinity people per whole number increment. 0 -> 1 kills infinity people

You can basically think of it like the entirety of the top rail happens for each step of the bottom rail.
