With these kinds of articles, they always find the uptight parent who thinks the professor went too far; they never find the rational one who thinks the story is ridiculous and that those same uptight people need to lighten up and get laid more.
Wrong. Intelligence is an absolute. My mental capacity doesn't change based on where I am or what I am measured against. Ranking may change, as may the measuring stick, but that ain't what you said.
You need to check yourself better if you want to play in my league.
See: Boring.
Do better. Find an angle with some purchase. That one has nothing.
I can destroy the rabble here. That is a simple fact. I would prefer it if they were at my level, but they are not. Their models are marked Fisher-Price®, and such cannot stimulate me intellectually.
Just give up. While you may wish to test yourself against me, I'm not particularly interested in testing you, for there isn't much point in valuing you. Even if you were to be so high as to be my twin this is still P&N -- a place where the quality of discussion actually manages to be lower than /b/. We could accomplish nothing here. The soil is barren. No seed will ever take. This is not a place where you can be a big fish in a small pond, for the other posters aren't fish, they are simply pollution -- pollution that will choke off the oxygen to any functioning brain.
That's not a brush-off. If you wish to test, I will preen in the light and judge you by how expertly you wield your light of discovery. I'm just saying that I've already seen the other side. Whether or not you disappoint, there is nothing but blandness there. P&N is shit and as such is nothing but my occasional dumping ground. The particulars of how I perceive you will not change that.
If we are all simply gravel in your shoe, why bother with us at all? Do we only serve to bolster your feelings of superiority?
EDIT: If it makes you feel better, you need not worry about me replying to any more of your posts. I am clearly unworthy.
I'm a philosopher. I will continue to stretch my mind without artificial boundaries.
I have delved into the heart of reality. You haven't yet touched the surface.
You have a loooong dive ahead of you if you wish to reach to where I sit.
Their relationship seems to me to be more emotionally intimate than you'll find in your typical nonsexual relationship. Speaking from experience (Navy security), with a male shipmate, there are some personal areas you avoid because it'd be gay. With a lesbian, you don't go there because you don't care. With an ugly girl, you only have basic interest, mostly because if you're not decent to the ugly girls, the hotties will hear about it through girl talk and won't have anything to do with you. With a cute girl, your interest is due to your sex drive trying to get you laid -- real interest in the vagaries of her life doesn't begin until you start getting the impression that she might be a keeper.
It's not an exact match for siblings, either. Tweens tend to have cruel positional battles. Teenagers are too awkward, distant, and wrapped up in themselves. Adult siblings are carrying baggage, and have lives of their own.
Rukia and Ichigo's emotional interplay is overly complex for a simple stereotype.
Ichigo is the front man.
Chad is the stalwart friend: the backbone.
Uryu and Renji serve as masculine benchmarks.
Orihime is the bumbling sidekick and adds a little unrequited attraction byplay.
Rukia is.... what? She's too complex for a sidekick. Too involved for just a friend. She's central to Ichigo's life as a Soul Reaper. Without Rukia, what is Ichigo? Just a pinball reacting to circumstance. It is Rukia who brings everything into focus and gives meaning to his life.
As for Rukia's apparent lack of romantic interest, I don't think her defenses would allow her to initiate, or to give in easily if interest was shown in her.
I don't think she'd give in to anything much short of a hero being awestruck and becoming resolute to sweep her off her feet. So, basically we're talking about either Ichigo or Renji realizing that they can't live without her, with nature then taking its course.
The show is actually good. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is by the same creator as The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
So, basically what your saying is you'd be happier fucking a cartoon then mila kunis?
Rukia over Mila? There's no contest. I don't think Mila could hold my attention for more than a month or two.
A choice between Hyoyeon and Rukia would be harder. Or Hayley Williams.
But Rukia is just epic.
Holy shit. You've just shown that you've never been anywhere NEAR an AP class.
AP is full of nerds taking class VERY seriously. It is the nerd mindset to compete academically -- it is no laughing matter. (Not necessarily a competition against anyone else, but a competition with oneself to reach perfection of 100%.)
And for the record, I took several AP classes back in the day. Math and science. You know, shit that matters.
I'm surprised you don't really understand high school students better than you do, with all the cartoons you watch. There was nothing academic with this quiz. Or do you just connect with the professor on a certain, perverted level?
You're not an authority on the matter.
What is your professional skill? I'll make sure to point out the fact that you are not qualified to comment on anything not directly related to that, or to anything governed by common sense, such as in this case.
2. Educating people requires more than common sense. Everyone learns differently. Common sense doesn't tell you how best to educate them or how to get through to them.
You're not an authority on the matter.
Actually, I am. I've been in education for almost my entire career. My focus is on technology in education, as the district's technology coordinator. I've worked with teachers and administrators on integrating technology in the curriculum to improve learning and prepare students for their future; a future that's going to depend on technology.
The teacher proved a point; America has some serious hang ups with sex.
But, when it comes to conservatives having affairs, it's OK - because they will ask God for forgiveness and all will be well.
Also, LOOK!! There is a terrorist over there!!! Get him before he kills America!!
Are you posting from said AP class right now?
You are clearly aiding the terrorists, you filthy socialist.
Setting up computers doesn't give you the authority to analyze psychology class, sorry.
Sorry, but "setting up computers" is only a small fraction of my responsibilities. If you had any idea what you were talking about on this subject you'd know that. Clearly you do not.
You don't know me. You have no idea what my qualifications are.
And yet, you continue to try to place a 32 year old man in a high school class.
Ah, internet buffoonery at it's finest.
Or you continue to try and be a 32 year old man, from your high school class. :hmm:
You don't know me. You have no idea what my qualifications are.
But if that's how you want it to be, I expect that you'll refrain from commenting on anything that is not directly related to your occupational specialty. Obviously you wouldn't be an authority on it.
If you think being a technology coordinator is just "setting up computers", you're either uninformed, a fool, or both.
I'll comment on whatever I want to comment on... and everyone else will do the same.
