Important Question.

[Lorizael]

I just got this email from the professor of my epistemology course.

Hi Class,

Just a reminder to email me your final papers by midnight tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec 22nd). I won’t be able to accept any late submissions, so this is an important due date that I won’t be able to extend.

So my question is, when is the paper due?

11:59 pm on Tuesday

[ZEE]

I COMPLETELY disagree.

When your paper is late and you are screwed AAHZ told you so.

[Lorizael]

Just the answer I was looking for. Now I can procrastinate another day.

[ZEE]

AAHZ told you so.

[Lorizael]

Do you want to make it interesting, AAHZ? The paper is worth 40% of my grade. If I turn it in late, I'll fail the class. So if I pass the class, you must agree to be an interesting poster who puts thought and creativity into each individual post. And if I fail the class, well, I don't know, you get the satisfaction of knowing that I failed a class on the off chance that I got to prove someone on the internet wrong?

Whoa! High stakes!

[loinburger]

What's the subject? I'll write it for you for $20, although unless the subject is static program analysis then you're probably looking at a C at best if I write it.

[Lorizael]

Epistemology. But it's a 1500 word paper on a topic of our choosing within the field of epistemology. I can write 1500 words on essentially anything, so I'm not all that worried. It's just... because I can write 1500 words on essentially anything... I tend to procrastinate a whole lot when I actually have to do that.

[loinburger]

I will pay you $20 if you write the paper on episiotomies; I'll up that to $40 if you can convince your teacher that it was an honest mistake

[onodera]

The correct answer is "email him back and ask this question".

[Lorizael]

Yeah, but that seems like a dick move, in all honesty. "Hey Prof, is the last possible minute to turn this in tonight or tomorrow night? I want to make sure you have as little time as possible to grade 25 term papers and a firm awareness of who to blame for that."

[Bereta_Eder]

Tell him his date defining was unepistemological.

[Lorizael]

I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THAT JOKE. THANK YOU.

Always better to ensure you don't cause a social faux pas, especially if all you have to lose is failing your entire course.
