I've never heard of an adjunct being tenured, that's interesting. Regardless, it's kind of an aside to the point of the article which was no tenure = fear of offending a student = watering down your class so that no one can find anything offensive in it.
I played the campaign of Halo 1, ODST and Reach. I think ODST is the best Halo game.
My two older brother and my dad and I played a ton of Halo 3, ODST and Reach multiplayer, and we'll still get it out during the holidays when everyone is home.
I never really held an affinity for the series but the multiplayer served and continues to serve as a real rallying point for my family when we all get together.

adjuncts aren't tenured
they're part time staff who will not be invited back to teach the next semester if they piss off too many students, have a bad pass/fail rate (regardless of why) because there's always more people who need the money out there
they're like one rung up from TAs but TAs usually have a better deal of it
Most adjuncts have to teach at a couple different schools at a time to make ends me.
Like a few at a comm college, one at local uni, etc
It's cheap for the schools, cause then there's one less full time salary/benefits person in their budget
but it's awful for the instructor, especially when you consider they have to have a masters at least, phd preferred to get in which means they've probably got some student loan debt
My terrible googling led me to this:
Assistant Lecturer $41,424
Lecturer $53,791
Senior Lecturer $70,544
Associate Professor $85,724
Professor (bottom of scale) $92,834

Which doesn't seem to bad.
Those are not adjunct positions, those are full time gigs

basically if I could play Halo without being master chief and somehow inside the Destiny engine that would be ideal
ODST and Reach both accomplish dis outside of the Destiny engine.
If you play ODST on the hardest difficulty it really makes you feel how dominant Master Chief is because you are just a scrub and like more than 2 grunts is prolly gonna fuk ya up

It's a rested rye. They have an unaged rye they released some time ago, and this is that product, only having spent three more years in a new white oak barrel.
And yeah, charcoal "mellowed" - which is to say filtered.
It's no whistle pig, but I might like it more than bulleit. Which I damn well better because it is 20 dollars more per bottle. Limited release.

I realize I've been very salty and fanboyish about all things Xbox ever since E3. I guess I was legitimately mad and upset that the chain of events MS set in motion when they started the Xbox has culminated in a Fallout game that doesn't have actual dialog choices, and that has dredged up a lot of immature fanboyism from my younger days. Apologies if anyone found that offensive or annoying.
A shooter on Macs is a dumb idea, and someone had to talk Bungie out of it. My teenage self spent countless sleepovers with friends, rigging Xboxes together to capture the flags and eat pizza until the sun rose on virgin faces. "Let's bring our Macs together to play some games, you guys" said no one ever. Macs are for music, and pretending to write.
Singer is, if nothing else, a consistent shining example of why academic freedom is important.

It feels strange to want to read and respond positively to comments on the internet.
I went and read the Barnes article as recommended and found no obvious link beyond the very general "disability is discussed".
I'm v opposed to shit that Tim Hunt said on a scientific basis because as a scientist he should present evidence for his claims other than the experiential. That being said, the attack on philosophers of late for doing philosophy is the dumbest goddamn shit and highlights why tenure is really damn important.
Read a good article by an anonymous author who was identified only as an adjunct professor at a large U.S. university (adjunct means no tenure for those not up on academia employment). He said that all his lectures are now prepared for the current environment where offending a student risks dismissal. This is a thing he agonizes over and loses sleep over because he needs his job. He also said other adjuncts he knows have the same fears.
Some people will find that great, as of course being offended is amongst the worst possible things. But consider that the line between being offended and being challenged is razor thin, varies from student to student, and for some students anything that challenges them is perceived as offensive. It is of course your right to take to the internet and attempt to get a mob going, which can cause not only dismissal of an unprotected professor but unemployability if a large enough stink is made.
And of course this offended student can be anyone. It needn't be a black, gay, or trans student. It can be a religious student (of any religion) a conservative student etc. None of these viewpoints can be safely challenged by an unprotected professor. It only takes one student to be super offended, take to the internet and get a dogpile going, and the university will drop you on your ass because you're an adjunct and they hired you into that position because you are pretty expendable.
So yes, tenure is super fucking important because we are quickly reaching the point where only tenured professors can say things that challenge students.
I think I read the same article. Was it on Vox?
The one I read went to great lengths to pin the blame on oversensitive students, even though it was obvious from the text that the crux of the issue is that adjunct professors are expendable.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Halo will forever have a special place in my heart because of the very amusing names for the various chapters.
The connections with Marathon and my resulting interest in the AIs also makes Halo most intriguing to me. Unfortunately they're only there a little bit.

It was never mac only. That's marathon. It was going to be Mac and PC, simultaneously.

If you're full time. Most adjuncts aren't. And they're often in debt up to their eyeballs because Amurrica.

Is this why she is no longer your girlfriend. Seeing you so thoroughly dominated by an adolescent meant you no longer appeared a viable mate.
Unconvincing, but hilarious to those of us who share Krug's hatred of austerity asceticism.

No. You don't.
