no but in all seriousness, my main 'disdain' for different majors is just how much i feel like that person is more educated than me. and i don't mean that from the utilitarian, spartan engineering standpoint wherein only discrete and financially rewarding job skills are 'worthy' points of education. but like, i feel as though most music majors or art history majors or history majors or computer science majors or biology majors will be four years more educated than me on those subjects.
whereas with a handful of majors i feel like that person just isn't meaningfully more educated than me- they can't speak authoritatively or act authoritatively on much of anything, financially rewarding or otherwise. those are the majors that make me go 'brah... c'mon, brah'.

One of my buddies that studied... whatever the heck you'd call that in English, something with politics, kept telling awful stories about two thirds of the people he studied with.
People at a university level that complained about lectures and how they'd rather be somewhere else.
You're an adult. There's no compulsory attendance. Go drink your ass of if you want. We call it responsibility. Just don't complain when you flunk it.
So for some reason dell pulled the 64 bit version of their bluetooth drivers for the precision 4400.
Whatever, download drivers for other precision models, works fine. FU Dell.
Troubleshooting compounded by the fact that our asshole previous IT guy went into people's BIOS randomly to disable bluetooth. "Oh, it looks like your bluetooth was disable in the BIOS, but now it should work fine" *boots up windows* what? Still not detecting a device? Fine. *inputs service tag at dell support page and goes to download relevant drivers* Page not found eh? *sobs*
The dude I was helping was a baller though. Talking about how I have a good reputation in the office there and that I don't give up! I'd rather have the reputation as the guy that effortlessly solves all the problems and is desired by all the women, but I'll take what I can get.

My BA degree is in Writing and Literature. When I was attending school, I was amazed at the number of fellow students who neither read nor wrote.

One of my Fraternity Brothers handed in a paper on the History of Presidential Powers During Wartime wherein he used the word "escaladed" about a dozen times. I believe he received a passing grade.
sometimes i have really weird thoughts that are even too weird for this forum (you guys being probably my most casual social circle by an order of magnitude)
so a guy at the office said the problem with people hating on suckerpunch is that they went into the theater thinking they were going to see inception when in fact they were going to see saving private ryan - saving private ryan was a "terrible" movie with amazing visuals, and so is sucker punch

Like sure I'm a woman and I'm skinny, but I'm still a neckbeard.
Makes me sad.
...how?
I live with my parents, spend most of my time doing geek ass things, have no love life and I fill the void in my heart with candy and cheetos.
Do you often yell at people for not liking the same D&D Ruleset that you like?
I've never played D&D.
Does that shorten my neckbeard?
That depends. What P&PRPGs have you played.
And I don't think you have to fret about neckbeardiness. Being geeky and a bit reclusive doesn't really make someone a neckbeard. At least to me, that word is associated with a lot of the more assholeish things geeks get up to when they become sufficiently detached from reality.

I had a wonderful dream last night.
By wonderful I mean it was terrifying. I live for these. Being jolted awake by a voice on the phone saying "STOP ASKING QUESTIONS." in a haunted house.
Driving into this town, there were tower-ish houses with weird things stacked in them all the way to the hundred foot ceilings. The first one was just mattresses. I think the last one was cat food.
What? I like cats.

I don't really understand how you get from Suckerpunch to Saving Private Ryan at all. Unless they happen to be on at the same time in the same room on 2 different screens.

A grasp of rhetoric and language is important, yo.
My joke English major power is the ability to write perfect haikus or tankas in about 5 seconds on any topic. My real one is making grown men cry.

I like you.
Syllabic writing, at least the traditional forms, are almost never practiced in contemporary writing.
Haiku also need not follow the 5/7/5 formula we've been taught. Most haiku written today doesn't, not even the stuff coming from Japan.

People are big on the 5-7-5 when doing joke haikus, but they never do the traditional season word.
I know both are archaic and not-universal conventions but I am always waiting for the seasonal giveaway word that never comes.

Does that shorten my neckbeard?
I thought that had been challenged long ago and wasn't mandatory as of like a century ago. It's still official?

It depends. Can the sentence be changed to be "I've never played D&D, I prefer much more simulationist systems"?

well, for me it's mandatory. Really, I think it mostly needs a sharp juxtaposition between two images.
