Re: General discussion chat Are they trying to infantilize or pussify everyone? I noticed that whenever they have these "smart people" schools it's horrendously... overbearing in how it pushes a certain mode of thought. If I was completely mental I'd have a conspiracy in my head about how it was some government plot to stifle free thought but I honestly just think that "San fransisco culture" has hijacked education with social justice. I was made to do something like that in my school when I attended, it was going through some hyper liberal phase of really gunning for "all inclusiveness" and pushing some strange "love everyone and always be friendly" attitude on us. I'm certainly a liberal, but I'm not THAT liberal. So the whole "write a message to everyone in your class/year" task was par for the course, they wanted you to send nice messages around the school to all the other students. So what I decided to do was counter it with giving out messages with complete honesty about the recipient and signing it with my name. So there's 3 kinds of message to write The person you don't talk to or care about "I think of you as amicable, yet dull. I regret admitting that you are of no consequence to me. My condolences." Someone who is a cunt to you "I find you extremely petty and utterly contemptible but at least that makes you interesting. I like you for giving me the occasional exciting argument or fight that breaks up the boring day-to-day stuff. You're not my valentine, I have to say. But thankyou for the sheer excitment I feel whenever you try to set my hair on fire" Someone you know and like "Hey I know you already, this message is pretty pointless as you are already fully aware that I enjoy your company. So enjoy my opinion about this assignment instead." The trick is to use a wide vocabulary and never duplicate your messages so you can point out that you put throught into your messages and you decided to be honest. I'm thinking of offering this anecdote as advice, please use a school's idiotic assignments as an instrunment for pissing off the staff. And whatever you do, when asked to apologize... never apologize. That way you prepare yourself for the real world by staying outside of the hugbox. You come out of school as a decent person with some strength of character, instead of these mindless hypersensitive idiots I keep having to deal with in my university.
Re: General discussion chat @hati Yep, you nailed it. And the teacher's response to me telling them that I know no one is, "you should have been making friends." I'm antisocial and I only have a few friends for a reason.
Re: General discussion chat It's for that reason I believe the assignment is stupid. Not everyone can accomplish it, that and it's dumb to force people to write valentines notes to the entire school. Are men just writing to women and vice versa or is it to everyone?
Re: General discussion chat To everyone. Yep. Found this, want. $11k. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/612674121/overview/#

Re: General discussion chat Micro IRC update; Some guy came on complaining about the lack of progress and dalek and others took to him. This guy could not say a single sentence without cursing. He was later warned by tomartix. It gets better, he claims to be a IT technician. But as Cira stated a IT technician just be a guy putting in Lan cables in a server room... Stay tuned for Daniels update .
Re: General discussion chat Wtf happened to control+space. New vehicle selector now occupies the control-E combo of the old selector. Control-space looks sexy as fuck though, when it works in future
Re: General discussion chat fucking windows it won't activate whatsoever, so make that 30 days of driver:sf and MM2 before i'm back to VM
Re: General discussion chat This is absolutely brilliant. I had a similar assignment once, I simply handed out blank papers. It worked, since they weren't signed and nobody knew who had been handing out blank papers.
Re: General discussion chat i agree but ubishit won't fix driver:sf, otherwise i wouldn't even bother trying to get windows 7 working
