There is too much stupidity in the world

[Dracos]

Logs, because I am too lazy to retype in my brief moment of attention whoreism, venting.

Shairthewm (9:15:26 PM): I am...outraged
Rezantis (9:15:49 PM): Outraged?
Shairthewm (9:15:50 PM): And more outraged because really, there is no good way of dealing with the stupidity I face.
Rezantis (9:15:57 PM): Do tell!
Shairthewm (9:16:04 PM): Today has been a bad day for mankind.  And by mankind I mean me.
Rezantis (9:16:04 PM): Share your tales of stupidosity!
Rezantis (9:16:14 PM): And by 'kind' you mean 'evil'.
Shairthewm (9:16:16 PM): Okay...which do you want to hear first?

Tale A?  Tale B?  or Tale C?
Rezantis (9:16:23 PM): Tale A!
Shairthewm (9:19:16 PM): Okay, that would be the IEE lecture.

Where we are mandated to go.  Which I could not ge out of the course because it is a SHITFUCKER course and the administration bans people from trying to skip out of it.  It is a shitfucker course.  They teach us, in vastly mystified terms about volts.  And positive and negative and all that crap.

The professor, who is a fuckhead who doesn't like being called professor and insists we all call him bill, sent out an email complaining that people were sleeping in his class.
Shairthewm (9:19:26 PM): And saying that he will not stand for this.
Shairthewm (9:19:38 PM): While he gives lectures on such difficult things as protoboard
Shairthewm (9:19:43 PM): or diodes
Shairthewm (9:20:11 PM): In response to this...I can do nothing...  Because the course is graded entirely by whim.
Shairthewm (9:20:18 PM): It is a one credit shit course
Rezantis (9:20:27 PM): Remind me how much one credit is.
Shairthewm (9:20:40 PM): that the administration will happily bullshit as absolutely required.
Shairthewm (9:20:49 PM): An average semester is 15-16 credits
Shairthewm (9:20:53 PM): I am taking 22.
Shairthewm (9:21:05 PM): It translates roughly to 2-4 hours of my life a week.
Shairthewm (9:21:07 PM): Wasted
Shairthewm (9:21:08 PM): on this crap
Shairthewm (9:22:40 PM): And every single day is mandatory.
Rezantis (9:22:50 PM): /me pats.
Shairthewm (9:22:53 PM): It's not a 'hey, this is fuckshit, get a D and you pass'
Shairthewm (9:22:54 PM): nooo
Shairthewm (9:23:03 PM): it's 'hey, this is fuckshit, miss a day and you fail'
Shairthewm (9:24:37 PM): You know I referenced that as one of three tales.
Shairthewm (9:24:42 PM): Which do you want next?
Rezantis signed off at 9:28:37 PM.
Rezantis signed on at 9:28:58 PM.
Shairthewm (9:29:45 PM): wb
Rezantis (9:30:00 PM): Peeeerrraaagggeee!!!
Shairthewm (9:30:07 PM):
Shairthewm (9:21:07 PM): Wasted
Shairthewm (9:21:08 PM): on this crap
Shairthewm (9:22:40 PM): And every single day is mandatory.
Rezantis (9:22:50 PM): /me pats.
Shairthewm (9:22:53 PM): It's not a 'hey, this is fuckshit, get a D and you pass'
Shairthewm (9:22:54 PM): nooo
Shairthewm (9:23:03 PM): it's 'hey, this is fuckshit, miss a day and you fail'
Shairthewm (9:24:37 PM): You know I referenced that as one of three tales.
Shairthewm (9:24:42 PM): Which do you want next?
Rezantis (9:30:37 PM): Tale B comes next!
Rezantis (9:30:37 PM): :-)
Shairthewm (9:31:49 PM): Ah... The 8 am tale.
Shairthewm (9:32:09 PM): Where someone from Atlus Quality Assurance decided that they would lay the knowledge smackdown upon me.
Rezantis (9:34:39 PM): Hmmm?
Rezantis (9:34:41 PM): Atlus?
Shairthewm (9:34:57 PM): Yes.
Shairthewm (9:35:02 PM): In RPGamer's Ed Section
Shairthewm (9:35:11 PM): Brian paraphrased his rebuttal aptly as:
Rezantis (9:35:12 PM): Oho?
Shairthewm (9:35:19 PM): Masamichi45 (7:27:03 PM):  Hence my intimation that his rebuttal should be titled, "Why I Like Being the Man's Bitch."
Rezantis (9:36:03 PM): Muahahaha.
Rezantis (9:36:10 PM): I'll have to go read.
Shairthewm (9:36:23 PM): It got, admittingly, my fastest rebuttal sent ever.
Shairthewm (9:36:34 PM): I barely took the time to polish up my initial response post that was made.
Shairthewm (9:36:40 PM): Because mainly...
Shairthewm (9:36:49 PM): I was offended that the fellow hid behind his corporate logo
Shairthewm (9:37:00 PM): while attempting to do this bullshit.
Shairthewm (9:37:14 PM): http://www.rpgamer.com/editor/ed083004.html
Rezantis (9:46:52 PM): He more than slightly misses half of what you said. o_O
Shairthewm (9:47:28 PM): Yes.  Yes he did.
Shairthewm (9:47:45 PM): And his article response was basically hyped as the truth coming from industry.
Shairthewm (9:47:56 PM): because he sent it from his corporate atlus email account.
Rezantis (9:48:08 PM): Oh dear.
Shairthewm (9:48:34 PM): And that naturally garners hype.  Ignoring that a QA person is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified title for bugtester slave with no actual say in any design anywhere.
Shairthewm (9:48:43 PM): At least, not since the early eighties
Shairthewm (9:48:53 PM): when the bugtester would be like one of five people on the team.
Rezantis (9:49:22 PM): /me snickers.
Shairthewm (9:50:08 PM): The days when a QA person had anything to do with the process more than "Here's a sheet a paper dumbass.  Check to make sure it works as specified.  If it doesn't send it back."
Shairthewm (9:50:13 PM): are long gone.
Rezantis (9:50:57 PM): Bwahaha.
Rezantis (9:53:48 PM): And C? :-)
Shairthewm (9:54:12 PM): C.  Let's see, what was C.  
Shairthewm (9:54:42 PM): Oh yes.
Shairthewm (9:54:52 PM): They tried to teach me binary and hexidecimal again today.
Rezantis (9:54:58 PM): :D
Shairthewm (9:55:05 PM): That makes attempt 7.
Rezantis (9:55:20 PM): BUT DID THEY SUCCEED? :O
Shairthewm (9:55:47 PM): I will kill you and piss on your grave before having your body launched into the moon by goat catapault.

Guns don't kill people. Stupid people kill people.

[kpjam]

Sounds like a fun day.

Remember.  People not only get more stupid as you get older, the circle of people you meet shrink as well.  Meaning, you're stuck with the same stupid people until you get a new job!

[Yuthirin]

Speak softly, Dracos.

Carry your Boomstick with you at all times, though.
