Venting Thread Delta - Now With Easy to Follow Rules

[Prospero101]

Or at least waiting to see what the point of the exercise is. Separating oneself from their preconceptions of morality and the nature of the universe seems like a fair way of starting a philosophy course.

Or unless the professor wants you to separate yourself from your preconceptions of morality and immediately adopt those of the ancient Greeks with zero consideration or discussion, because they were SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER THAN YOU.

[Master Gunner]

Yeah, I have had...issues...with certain philosophy majors and professors before. Aristotle was wrong about pretty much everything. And an asshole.

[Prospero101]

I have some serious hangups about my university philosophy professor. Fuck you, Dr. Carper. And your tweed.

[Master Gunner]

Actually, come to think of it, I've only known two philosophy majors and both of them are cool people. One came into computer science after he finished his philosphy degree and is now doing a PhD in AI research at Waterloo (and he completely wrecked the ethics class we took together). The other is a good friend of mine who I can endlessly annoy by exploiting her thought processes and philosophical passions.

Really it's the concept of philosophy majors and professors I dislike, rather than the people.

[Kapol]

Unless the teacher's next move is to drop their trousers.

Then he's just trying to explain the moral concept of having no rules. After all, no rules means no pants.

[Prospero101]

Oh, I really have nothing against the concept of philosophy or the people who study it (aside from Dr. Carper). I just despise the way I was taught philosophy. I feel like it undermines its central concepts.

So I've been doing some reading of my own lately. Being a classics major lends itself well to the study of philosophy, actually. We're accustomed to slow, ponderous writing about broad, ill-defined ideas.

FUCK ARTHRITIS

it's in my fuckinf arms now

fuck my life - i won't even be able to push myself around in awheelchair [a contingency i'd thought ov what with my arthrits being confined to my legs]

thanks mom for passing this down to me- dad's side of the family are all able-jointed.

oh and thanks to the two of you for settling in one of the worst places for this; cold, and nearly constantly wet; just great for those rheumatoid flareups

[ZePancakes]

Writing up treatment sheets and there is something maddening (in the dull sense) about writing "KVp AP + LAT" & "0.54Gy" multiple times over multiple pages.

RRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH

[Prospero101]

I'm sorry, you're what, fourteen?

How fucking dare you. How fucking goddamn shitass cunting dare you, you little squirt. I took a shit bigger than you this morning. How DARE you presume to tell me how to do my shitty dishwashing from your ivory tower of the goddamn grill.

ALL YOU FUCKING DO IS PUT SLABS OF MEAT ON A HOT PIECE OF METAL. No,I am not exaggerating or speaking in ignorance of the fry cook's trade. I can see you from my station, you wee little cunt. Don't you fucking DARE yell at me again to run all the way across the goddamn kitchen to go get you your knife or your goddamn spatula because you're too fucking lazy to set up your station when your shift starts. Don't you fucking DARE stack sixteen thousand metal tubs full of cheese and marinara and batter and god knows WHAT ELSE on top of my perfectly clean plates and tell me to be done in twenty minutes.

DON'T. YOU. FUCKING. DARE.

[Darkobra]

Give him the Tyrion Slap! And if you're wanting to entertain yourself in the process, use one of the metal tubs! They make a funny noise when you crack it over someone's skull.

[Prospero101]

You ever solve anything without violence or the threat thereof, Darkobra?

[Darkobra]

Wouldn't be as entertaining OR as fast.

[Prospero101]

For God's sake, Mother, if I'm doing something wrong, tell me so I can correct it. Don't just passive-aggressively ignore it until you can use it as ammunition in an argument.

[Deedles]

If I actually crack I usually scold/rant people into submission, even though I'd like to punch them.

[Darkobra]

For FUCK! SAKE! NEVER link DIRECTLY from your e-mail! A guy posted on a public forum "Look at this e-mail I got! We're getting a surprise soon!" See if it wasn't me first on the scene? He'd have lost all his bank details and his account information.

I thankfully managed to use the access he GAVE ME! I didn't have to use any tricks here! He GAVE me it unwittingly! And I deleted his entire thread for him.

Now if that forum was an active one, he'd be fucked. Mods couldn't respond fast enough. God knows when HE was going to get to it. So I did it for him! But even though I did him that courtesy, I cannot be angrier at just how stupid people are.

[Darkobra]

Now he's arguing with me over HAVING to change his passwords. I'm tempted to pull out the ultimatum "YOU change them or I will."

Fuck sake. Does NOBODY take security seriously anymore?!

[AdmiralMemo]

OK, Mrs. Customer... How is it my fault that you were too stupid to type your own name correctly? Please explain this. I will wait.

[Duckay]

Yes, sir, you have a right to free speech. It is still unbelievably rude to loudly comment on a stranger's body in public.

[viscomica]

Now he's arguing with me over HAVING to change his passwords. I'm tempted to pull out the ultimatum "YOU change them or I will."

I say if he was the stupid one let him deal with the consequences of his acts. Sometimes you just have to take a step aside for your own sanity.

[Dutch guy]

Just email some select threats to a few airlines. I think he'll get the message after a few hours of FBI questioning

[Darkobra]

That would be endlessly entertaining!

[Phailhammer]

Yeah, but you probably wouldn't be there to see it.

[Prospero101]

Oho, so you SMOKE too, do you, asshole?

Ohohohohohohohohoho! I've got you by the short hairs now, you little pissant.
