I just got an A- in Philosophy

[Pekka]

That's big bunch of BS. I can take philosophy if I want to. I can take ancient folklores if I want to. No one makes me take them to get my degree. I do as I choose. You should have the same option too. After all, you are adults, you should have the power to decide what's good for you, right?

Nuh-huh, is that university completely free from public funding?

[Pekka]

But congrats on outstanding job anyway

oh and ps. I have other courses as well.. some of them are not so computer oriented . Like mathematics!

[Pekka]

Tuomerehu, mine? no, but I only HAVE to take 1 credit worth of Swedish, and I don't even have to take it, if I write an essay. Booyaa!

The vast majority of my courses are not directly computer related this term. Mostly math courses.

Computer Science is more math than programming...

Congratulations Asher.

My daughter also informs me that she got straight A's in her first semester at med-school.

General Education (GE) units posted my GPA as well. I took philosophy and a ton of environmental courses... Now I'm just gross poluter; at least I know how I am affecting the environ.

[Pekka]

Asher, yeah. We have lots of required math courses. But that's true what you say. That's what you need to do, get supporting courses, and mathematics is definitely supporting, vital and very relevant.

Internship is harjoittelija like we have for many companies while you're studying..

credits are like opintoviikot.

Asher is, you know, Canadian. In case you didn't know where Calgary, Alberta was...

Of course this is a very special troll, with but one target. I can't wait until the target hits this thread...

JohnT, Oh yeah.... how could I forget

No matter, Canada roooooooocks.

It's not going to happen. Asher is on ignore and will remain so indefinitely. Presumably he's desperately seeking revenge for the terrible injustice of UR being made a mod, as if that was something to do with me.

That's not to say that I didn't nearly die laughing when I heard (courtesy of the proverbial "little bird").

Ming has made it clear that this sort of thing will result in restrictions, so I'm not going to put myself in the firing line for something I don't really care about.

Anyway...

Good for him getting an A- (if that's in fact what happened - as I said, he's on ignore). It's not that hard in an introductory course, but many people manage worse (you should see some of the cretins I've taught).

[JohnT]

I managed worse. Consider me cretinous.

But were you one of the "damn studying, let's go to the pub" crowd?

You sound so proud.

I have successfully figured out how to use the ignore list and will brag about it continuously, it shows I am infact learned and mature.

I don't see how it's possible to manage worse. I skipped 95% of the classes and skimread the material and wrote bull**** essays on it.

Philosophy is the art of bull****. I'm just good at it.
