O god I am such an asshole. Someone just insulted me so I corrected their spelling.
Agh I may need professional help.
Why are you upset at being an asshole to someone who insulted you?
Well actually now I think about it I insulted him first by implying he was thick.
I have a problem with thick people, which is not the best attribute in a teacher, I can tell you.
Ah, yeah. It can be pretty frustrating trying to teach someone something when they just aren't getting it, and also while they are doing a poor job of explaining why they aren't getting it. I know that feel bro.

Hey there @poshniallo, just wanted to say I agree with and enjoyed your post on Anarchism, but I don't want to get involved in that thread because it's dumb.

Oh good - the reactions I sometimes get to my posts make me doubt my sanity sometimes.
So quick question, would any of you be interested in a thread about political civil society and in the US and abroad?
I think if it was very specific it could be good, but otherwise it will just be 'America sux' vs 'America roolz'.
Maybe if it just wasn't about America? Explicitly? That might work.
I am focusing on political civil society as the poli sci term. The basis of society through mostly non-governmental associations. Going to be using a bit of Putman's "Bowling Alone" and I have another article on how the internet has decreased the civil society of the US more.
This is a very focused political science thread. I am not really talking about America's culture on it being awesome or sucking.

It helps that I am also a sort of ambivalent quasi-Anarchist I guess. Although I usually just use words like Leftist or Socialist, since a lot of people won't get terms like council communist or Anarcho-Communist. Also I suppose one of the reasons some people got really ticked off was your remark about them not understanding stuff because they are all American college kids.

Yeah, well, there was never going to be a way to say, 'American 20-somethings don't have enough experience of the world' nicely, though I was trying. That in itself is a little bit American, I think. If you said that kind of thing about me as an English 20-something, I would have replied, 'Pass the bong then.'

It's part of a demographic I think you're missing about the 20somethings in question - they've been told they're amazing and wonderful because self esteem is best esteem, and mostly had that proven because the arbiter of exceptional achievement - American public schools - simultaneously fails to educate and tells moderately intelligent kids that they're amazingly brilliant.

But anyway, if one of you homps actually wants to make a game, I call dibs on lead engineer.
I'm making a game for a college software engineering project. You can totally help us out if you're willing to work for no money or credit. In fact, at this point in time you've already done the same amount of useful work as two team members!

Tav I'm busy with grad school so you know, but I'm happy to help if you've got solid tasks and goals to which I could contribute piecemeal.
@durandal4532 haha, just saw this notification now. Thanks for the offer, but you're fine. The lecturer is grading us on our contributions as well as our overall project, so I'll do pretty well for my contribution even with a crappy project.
Also, I wouldn't want to show anyone how shitty some of this code is. Uggggggggh.
This seems like a good time to mention that I love one idea behind the Irish education system... you just study as normal for your entire school career, then they give you like 10 massive test covering 17 years of material that graduates you from public education.
You can't teach to the test because it would take forever.

I don't always communicate well here - I'm not American or 22, everyone just assumes everyone here is. I'm a 42-year-old bookish Englishman with anger management issues. I'm gonna seem like I have a stick made entirely of condescension and sarcasm up my arse to a lot of people.

You missed the whole idea behind self esteem and the end of tracking of students was from the Baby Boomers not wanting to hurt their children's feelings for not being good enough.

Yeah. Serious cabin fever here. It's only been a few weeks and I'm getting really frustrated with not being at work. Especially since almost all my friends are having sad times, so hanging out with them is depressing.

That's interesting way to do it, but how will they deny funding to the elementary/middle schools that need it if the students are only tested in High School?

Might be called Traffic Shaping or Traffic Prioritization.
Or it might not support it at all. A lot of ISP-supplied routers don't.
(I have QoS on my Linksys at home and I love it. It goes HTTP/HTTPS > Xbox > everything else > Bittorrent.)

What, are you some kind of English teacher?

Cabin fever is setting in remarkably quickly.
