Hahaha some of these cases. Anyone remember this commercial?
"John Leonard watched a television commercial touting a range of items ('Pepsi Stuff') that consumers could acquire by redeeming 'Pepsi Points'...The scene then switched to a student's school, as a Harrier jet came into view and landed on a bike rack. The cockpit opened and the student stepped out...the words 'HARRIER JET 7,000,000 PEPSI POINTS' appeared...[Leonard] enclosed 15 Pepsi Points and a check for $700,000 (Pepsi permitted consumers to buy additional points for 10 cents a point.)"

Contracts: Cases and Materials (7th Ed.), Foundation Press
I wonder who won the subsequent law suit?
The court, presided over by Judge Kimba Wood, rejected Leonard's claims and denied recovery on three grounds.
1. It was found that the advertisement featuring the jet did not constitute an offer.
2. The court found that even if the advertisement had been an offer, no reasonable person could have believed that the company seriously intended to convey a jet worth roughly $23 million for under a million dollars.
3. The value of the alleged contract meant that it fell under the provisions of the statute of frauds, but the Statute's requirement for writing between the parties was not fulfilled, so a contract had not been formed.
so
fuck pepsico.

Everytime I think that beavotron is done earning my ire I am unpleasantly surprised.
Taught animation by pixar?
I seethe.
oh munkus
when will you learn to accept me and quit all the hate?
i have decided that there is enough room for two beavers in this forum
so long as it's widely accepted that i'm the cuter of the two of us.
and it's not just pixar, let's not forget dreamworks and fucking ILM
I don't buy the beavotron con. AC may be your pawn, they may fawn over things you've drawn, but I'm not gone. I'm still on like Ghengis Khan, so say "So long!" as I bring it on.
no that already happened and i lost terribly
i told him already he's an ace rapper, now he's just rubbing it in my face
not very friendship-like if you ask me
I'm studying animation at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
It's the bee's tits it is so fun

I have spent every single day, from eight or nine am until around ten pm, at my school
working my ass off
saturdays included, except they kick me out at six instead of ten, so I have to go home
and on sundays, I am racing to finish my work
each week I am given a sketchbook assignment where I have to fill fifty pages of a sketchbook with drawings, four drawings per page
that's for one of my six classes. Plus I have a shitload of assigned reading.
This week for my animation class, I have one week to do three different ball bounce pencil tests, each consisting of a minimum of twenty but more likely thirty drawings each. My third part of that test, I have fifty-six frames to draw by hand. Not complex, but the timing and spacing for them is the real hard part.
That's two out of six classes.
I seriously put in fourteen hour days on schoolwork every single day.
It is fucking ridiculous and amazing.
Rank your weeks sound like a total ass haul of work but for some reason it sounds so awesome. It feels like by the end of all your school shit you're going to be paid the big bucks and have an awesome job. Hopefully.
Also, can you tell me that simple recipe again for the brussell sprouts where you do put some olive oil on them and then bake them in the oven.
I am going to start this bitchy angsty post off with a sweet fact: my advisor here at school is the namesake of X-Men's Senator Robert Kelly
I've been having a pretty bad career crisis these past few days. I'm on my first month of classes in college, and basically know that I either want to pursue psychology or screenwriting. My writing class is total bullshit - just a bunch of teenage writers furiously masturbating to avant-garde formatting and superfluous vocabulary. This gives me a bit of hope, because I basically feel like I don't need to learn to write - I could just maybe get some style changes from the classes I take. Psychology, on the other hand, is different - you're not going to get a career in that shit without studying it.
So I have two paths ahead of me.
Psychology:
Stable, well-paying job
Very interested in it
Get to be an awesome doctor
Get to work in a hospital
A lot of work (I'll be in school till I'm 32 with internships and all and studying after that)
I need to go to med school, and while I'm a psychology whiz kid I've never had the knack for biology (although chemistry comes naturally). I'm not bad at it, but I am not really a hard sciences guy.
I'll have a very structured life ahead of me - school, work, not a lot of time to do what I want. This does not appeal to me.
Screenwriting:
Creative output - a big deal for me. I romanticize the artist's life.
I've got a knack for it.
Doesn't require schooling.
Doesn't really matter what I study.
Not a very stable job - requires talent and a lot of luck.
Kinda requires me to live in LA or New York.
Has the "ritz" to it.
Deadliiiines
this is all very stream of consciousness, and for good reason. it's not a decision I need to make right now, but I need to make it soon, because pre-med starts early. currently I go to a liberal arts school, and I've heard a lot about med schools accepting more and more liberal arts students, but I am probably not going to be here all 4 years, and I have more than a hunch that wherever I go after here is going to be based on which path I choose.
right now, I am leaning heavily towards psychology, but I just don't know about pre-med and the years of insanely rigorous work ahead of me. of course, if it's work I'm interested in, who the hell cares how long I spend doing it?
I'm not typing this looking for an answer from you guys or anything, but it's a college thread and I'm in college and this is the shit I'm thinking about.
You just started school, who cares? Just pursue a psych major with the intent of becoming a psychiatrist (which is what you're really describing); if it falls through or you change your mind you can become a screenwriter. It isn't like you won't be able to pursue a career as the latter because you have a B.A. in psych.
Edit: This would be more problematic if you (1) did not have an alternative passion or (2) had an alternative passion that required substantial schooling or a specific major [and were trying to decide if psych is the degree for you]. The traditional psych major issue is "man I love psych, but I don't want to go to medical school, should I still major in it [given that I want to make more than 25k a year when I graduate]?" Luckily that is not your problem

You take them, and you put them in a pot
and you out some water in there, too
and maybe some herbs
and then you load that pot into a fucking rocket and shoot it into the sun because Brussel sprouts suuuuuuuuck

well, as someone who took biology/neuroscience, i'm gonna tell you right now, biology starts playing a major role in psych. well, not so much biology, but physiological processes which tend to be a hybrid of bio and chemistry (lul kinda like biochemistry!!!)
(neuro is basically a more sciency way of saying psych, also there are more sciency reqs like math and biochem and whole courses on chemical cascades which are so fucking boring it hurts me a little to think about it again, but most of the basics are shared with psych, we had to take psych 1000-3000 and like, perceptual processes, abnormal behavior, animal behavior all that junk.)
I kinda gotta wonder why you have trouble with bio but like psych? I put it in the exact same vein as psych. It's memorization of concepts, process and definitions. There are very very few equations for biology (until you get into the biochem stuff) it's all just memorization, same as psych and to a lesser degree, neuro
example: one of the central points of biology, learning the parts of the cell:
one of the central points of psych, learning the parts of the brain:
same bi'zness
lol i know there's more to it than that, but seriously, same sort of stuff... depending of course on what field of bio you're talking about, biochem, macro bio, micro bio, ecology, conservation...etc....ecology is mathy... stat mathy at that, boooorinngggg, but the bio that gets used in psych is more like the cell bio type of stuff... memorizing junk

neuroscientists and psychiatrists are awfully different. I mean, granted, psychiatrists are, by necessity, taught the biological means of administering treatment, but just because they know exactly how SSRIs reuptake all that damned serotonin doesn't mean that they are the people doing research on how the size of the amygdala pertains to PTSD. Neuro is not a more sciency way of saying psych - they're totally different, and while I am interested in being a psychiatrist or, maybe, a psychologist, I would never be a neuroscientist.
Really, I know a fair amount of psychiatrists, and while studying biology isn't anything close to arbitrary, once they had finished their residency most of them only utilized it in understanding the latest psychopharmalogical developments, as they had become private practice therapists or residents at places like Rockwood or Bellevue.

are you actually telling me they're completely different when i just told you i did a neuro degree?
they're seriously not that different
you're saying psychology degree
as in psychology undergrad
which is different from a psychiatrist who requires further education beyond the undergrad level
at the base undergrad level, neuroscience and psych share about 75% of their courses...(shared as in they are cross-listed)
the main difference is you need chemistry and math to get a degree in neuroscience as well as neuroscience 2000, 3000 and 4000
BUT if you are taking a psych major with a science degree (really weird choice) you need math and chem as well so eh!
you are right that neuroscientists have a different role than a psychiatrist
but neuroscientists typically at least have their masters... at least.
that's where the differentiation comes in, not during the undergrad phase at all.
yes, neuroscientists and psychologists share a fuckton of courses at the undergrad level because each is useless without a rudimentary understanding of the other.
i am talking about the duties performed by these two careers in post-grad and in the workforce.
so while I am good enough at biology and chemistry that I would be willing to study it, I wouldn't want to make it into a career. hence, I would not be a neuroscientist, although I would be a psychiatrist.
also human anatomy comes a lot easier to me than other types of biology. i don't think that this is uncommon.
I have spent every single day, from eight or nine am until around ten pm, at my school
working my ass off
saturdays included, except they kick me out at six instead of ten, so I have to go home
and on sundays, I am racing to finish my work
each week I am given a sketchbook assignment where I have to fill fifty pages of a sketchbook with drawings, four drawings per page
that's for one of my six classes. Plus I have a shitload of assigned reading.
This week for my animation class, I have one week to do three different ball bounce pencil tests, each consisting of a minimum of twenty but more likely thirty drawings each. My third part of that test, I have fifty-six frames to draw by hand. Not complex, but the timing and spacing for them is the real hard part.
That's two out of six classes.
I seriously put in fourteen hour days on schoolwork every single day.
It is fucking ridiculous and amazing.
Rank your weeks sound like a total ass haul of work but for some reason it sounds so awesome. It feels like by the end of all your school shit you're going to be paid the big bucks and have an awesome job. Hopefully.
Also, can you tell me that simple recipe again for the brussell sprouts where you do put some olive oil on them and then bake them in the oven.
I just wanna do it right, ya see

oh cool, misunderstanding duder
yeah maybe you're right about understanding anatomy coming easier than bio but i kinda wonder why, because to me, it's all the same kind of learning
curious my good sir, very curious
you should make that your honors thesis for psych

it is the most boring semester.

not very friendship-like if you ask me
It's the bee's tits it is so fun
spectre, bees don't have tits you silly goose
Psh, no-go, robo.

Tam is a good friend on the internet, munkus
I refuse to let anyone ruin the adorable moment.
So which of you is Norbert and which of you is Daggett?
Ive decided that anyone with a dancing avatar cant possibly be bad.
Rank your weeks sound like a total ass haul of work but for some reason it sounds so awesome. It feels like by the end of all your school shit you're going to be paid the big bucks and have an awesome job. Hopefully.
Also, can you tell me that simple recipe again for the brussell sprouts where you do put some olive oil on them and then bake them in the oven.
I just wanna do it right, ya see
tam needs more shout-outs
he's a cool dude on the internet
amongst many uncool dudes on the internet
mysst: la la la la la la la i am plugging my... eyes and not reading your scandalous messages of disgusting scandal, la la la la la la!

So I have two paths ahead of me.
Psychology:
Stable, well-paying job
Very interested in it
Get to be an awesome doctor
Get to work in a hospital
A lot of work (I'll be in school till I'm 32 with internships and all and studying after that)
I need to go to med school, and while I'm a psychology whiz kid I've never had the knack for biology (although chemistry comes naturally). I'm not bad at it, but I am not really a hard sciences guy.
I'll have a very structured life ahead of me - school, work, not a lot of time to do what I want. This does not appeal to me.
Screenwriting:
Creative output - a big deal for me. I romanticize the artist's life.
I've got a knack for it.
Doesn't require schooling.
Doesn't really matter what I study.
Not a very stable job - requires talent and a lot of luck.
Kinda requires me to live in LA or New York.
Has the "ritz" to it.
Deadliiiines
this is all very stream of consciousness, and for good reason. it's not a decision I need to make right now, but I need to make it soon, because pre-med starts early. currently I go to a liberal arts school, and I've heard a lot about med schools accepting more and more liberal arts students, but I am probably not going to be here all 4 years, and I have more than a hunch that wherever I go after here is going to be based on which path I choose.
right now, I am leaning heavily towards psychology, but I just don't know about pre-med and the years of insanely rigorous work ahead of me. of course, if it's work I'm interested in, who the hell cares how long I spend doing it?
I'm not typing this looking for an answer from you guys or anything, but it's a college thread and I'm in college and this is the shit I'm thinking about.
You just started school, who cares? Just pursue a psych major with the intent of becoming a psychiatrist (which is what you're really describing); if it falls through or you change your mind you can become a screenwriter. It isn't like you won't be able to pursue a career as the latter because you have a B.A. in psych.
Edit: This would be more problematic if you (1) did not have an alternative passion or (2) had an alternative passion that required substantial schooling or a specific major [and were trying to decide if psych is the degree for you]. The traditional psych major issue is "man I love psych, but I don't want to go to medical school, should I still major in it [given that I want to make more than 25k a year when I graduate]?" Luckily that is not your problem

I have a better Brussel Sprouts recipe.
You take them, and you put them in a pot
and you out some water in there, too
and maybe some herbs
and then you load that pot into a fucking rocket and shoot it into the sun because Brussel sprouts suuuuuuuuck
well, as someone who took biology/neuroscience, i'm gonna tell you right now, biology starts playing a major role in psych. well, not so much biology, but physiological processes which tend to be a hybrid of bio and chemistry (lul kinda like biochemistry!!!)
(neuro is basically a more sciency way of saying psych, also there are more sciency reqs like math and biochem and whole courses on chemical cascades which are so fucking boring it hurts me a little to think about it again, but most of the basics are shared with psych, we had to take psych 1000-3000 and like, perceptual processes, abnormal behavior, animal behavior all that junk.)
I kinda gotta wonder why you have trouble with bio but like psych? I put it in the exact same vein as psych. It's memorization of concepts, process and definitions. There are very very few equations for biology (until you get into the biochem stuff) it's all just memorization, same as psych and to a lesser degree, neuro
example: one of the central points of biology, learning the parts of the cell:
one of the central points of psych, learning the parts of the brain:
lol i know there's more to it than that, but seriously, same sort of stuff... depending of course on what field of bio you're talking about, biochem, macro bio, micro bio, ecology, conservation...etc....ecology is mathy... stat mathy at that, boooorinngggg, but the bio that gets used in psych is more like the cell bio type of stuff... memorizing junk
You try to rap, chap, but your meter could be sweeter.
PEACE
neuroscientists and psychiatrists are awfully different. I mean, granted, psychiatrists are, by necessity, taught the biological means of administering treatment, but just because they know exactly how SSRIs reuptake all that damned serotonin doesn't mean that they are the people doing research on how the size of the amygdala pertains to PTSD. Neuro is not a more sciency way of saying psych - they're totally different, and while I am interested in being a psychiatrist or, maybe, a psychologist, I would never be a neuroscientist.
Really, I know a fair amount of psychiatrists, and while studying biology isn't anything close to arbitrary, once they had finished their residency most of them only utilized it in understanding the latest psychopharmalogical developments, as they had become private practice therapists or residents at places like Rockwood or Bellevue.
are you actually telling me they're completely different when i just told you i did a neuro degree?
they're seriously not that different
you're saying psychology degree
as in psychology undergrad
which is different from a psychiatrist who requires further education beyond the undergrad level
at the base undergrad level, neuroscience and psych share about 75% of their courses...(shared as in they are cross-listed)
edit: 4 second year neuro courses at my school, check the cross-listings:

the main difference is you need chemistry and math to get a degree in neuroscience as well as neuroscience 2000, 3000 and 4000
BUT if you are taking a psych major with a science degree (really weird choice) you need math and chem as well so eh!
you are right that neuroscientists have a different role than a psychiatrist
but neuroscientists typically at least have their masters... at least.
that's where the differentiation comes in, not during the undergrad phase at all.
i am talking about the duties performed by these two careers in post-grad and in the workforce.
so while I am good enough at biology and chemistry that I would be willing to study it, I wouldn't want to make it into a career. hence, I would not be a neuroscientist, although I would be a psychiatrist.
also human anatomy comes a lot easier to me than other types of biology. i don't think that this is uncommon.
Hi5
oh cool, misunderstanding duder
yeah maybe you're right about understanding anatomy coming easier than bio but i kinda wonder why, because to me, it's all the same kind of learning
curious my good sir, very curious
you should make that your honors thesis for psych
5kgs! my head must be maaaassive. also i talk in sonar
bloop bloop bleep
