      I don’t know, kind of sounds like they learned something and that’s a win.

      Sometimes indignation can lead to amazing things, somebody told me in 2000 that I couldn’t make a 3D game for the web using 2D software and I felt so challenged and pissed-off I actually programmed a 3D rendering engine using that tool so I could make a virtua tennis style game playable on the web.

      A world first out of spite.

      Edit: In case anybody cares the tool was Macromedia Director which was a 2D raster authoring tool that you could use to make Shockwave games. And the feature that came out in (I think) patch 6.5 made 2D sprite skewing a thing which enabled me to make this!

      Imagine sitting through class presentations and some incel tries to bully a girl, badgering her with questions and a “this is common knowledge” attitude all because he is so fucked in the head he thought she was mocking him.

          So long story shot. When I was a kid (7/8 y/o), an extended family member kicked us (me and my direct family) out of our family house when my dad and uncle passed away.

          Unfortunately, there was a dispute of this said house and blah blah law this and that. Homeless.

          The said guy got ahold of the house and been staying there.

          Fast forward today, been working hard to get monies. I got a wind of family conflict of this guy, money issue is apparently the cause so he attempted to sell the house. I bought the house through third party (friend’s name) and I rent it back to him.

          Soon he will have a granddaughter or grandson, the day he returns back home with the newborn will be the day I kick the whole family out.

    Something similar: knew a girl that was wrote her bio master and she was like “you’re all below me”, one day she asked me to read her work for spelling mistakes, took a week intensively researching the topic and made several remarks on wrong sources/ better sources, found data assignment mistakes and content errors and wrote a comprehensive critic to the work. I’m feeling kinda sorry for what I did, she never handed the work in & is now a single mom. I’m far from the only reason for it, but I think that it pushed her over the edge with the decision to give up her academic career for good. Ooopsie.

      Hey so you said :”she was like” but you didn’t really offer explicit acts about her behaviour confirming that’s really what she thought. It’s predictive text.

      So did she really say you were below her or was that a feeling you get when you meet a confident person and determine this on your own because of feeling self conscious around that?

      Her “bio master” as in her Master’s thesis? Why would she not have someone in her cohort read it? What happened with her PI? Were they just not checking in on her work at all? How could they get so far into a Master’s that she’s in the process of writing her thesis that you could find better sources in a week?

        The above op said “she was like” which is predictive text but no real story about how they got to that conclusion so I’m getting the feeling they themselves are an unreliable narrator. I’d take a beat before jumping in and entirely vilifying someone you don’t even know described by another person you don’t even know. It is the internet after all.

          I really don’t understand what drives people to make these type of comments.

          Bro whether it happened or not doesn’t really matter. They’re not trying to sell you a scientific study. It’s an anecdote. Even if it is fake it’s not going to destroy your life or financially bankrupt someone. Do you yell at Comedians saying that they’re lying about a funny story? Do you question everyone in your life and call them all out too if you don’t believe them?

          The absolute worst that could come from lying about a random funny story is causing someone to let out a disappointed sigh if they find out it is fake. Compare that to the disruption of someone always showing up and saying “It didn’t happen.” I know which I prefer…

              No, it sounds bullshit to you. You have no guarantee that this is bullshit. You have nothing to fall back on. You were not there. Moreover, weirder things continue to happen every single day in reality. I have an issue with someone who has no connection to the story just dismissing it outright and acting like everyone should believe them and their opinion despite it having zero supporting evidence. Not to mention you’re doing it in the funny community. Funny does not require truth, as mentioned above. So like I said, unless you’re actively calling comedians a liar then your own point doesn’t stand up to this. Comedians routinely tell bullshit and it’s a social contract to not interrupt and not crash it. Same contract applies to funny anecdotes in a comedy community.

              You’re not calling out bullshit. You’re crashing a party.

                Nor do You have any facts that what they said that made the story was believable. A complete internet stranger posts “She was like”… it already smells like bullshit to anyone with half a brain. Yet That’s all it took for you to take a deep dive on a story vilifying a complete stranger and defending it as ‘funny’. This says more about you adopting a shit personality than any story let alone humour in general.

                Also what fuckin party are you talking about? You think this is a party? Get outside and touch grass.

          A university is a college but a college is not necessarily a university. (At least in the U.S)

          Community colleges and State colleges vary from Universities usually that Universities require graduate programs. Not sure all the specifics but if you want an Associates degree you can usually get one at either. A masters degree you can’t normally get at a State College. (Exceptions might exist, I’m sure someone will shit on my breakdown and correct it haha)

            I wish this was as straight forward as this tries to make it. In the US there has been a shift to re-designate colleges as universities based on the number of graduate and non-graduate programs, requiring at least one of each as far as I can tell. The side effect is that a lot of state colleges are now state universities with individual “colleges” within them for the specific program groups.

            Which is to say that some state colleges were correctly rebranded as universities, but you can go to a state college and have it be a university.

            (And yes, even further exceptions exist and I look forward to being enlightened about the various universities in the middle of nowhere serving 15 people.)

          I think it’s already been explained for the most part in other comments but yes, here (UK) there’s a difference between college (post-16 A-level equivalent) and university (post-18, requires college or A-level first)

        It doesn’t matter where you live. I just hate the term “uni”. Say “my university”, “NYU”, “Princeton”, or something like that. I don’t have an objective argument against it. I just don’t like it. It’s like the word " ain’t ". It’s in the dictionary now and technically acceptable, but I hate it.

          You realize that universities outside the US and UK only have a very nondescript moniker or some obscure title that would not help you identify it in the slightest, right?

            Then say “at my university”. I think people will understand that you don’t own a university, and you are referring to the one that you attended. Again, it’s purely a subjective issue. I get that I’m in the minority, but I still hate the term.

          Ain’t was always a valid contraction for “am not”, but too many people misused it until grammarians convinced everyone it wasn’t a real word. Besides, words aren’t handed down from on high. If it’s in the dictionary it’s because it was already in use. What’s the point of a dictionary if you can’t look up the words people are using?

            In the 70s and 80s we were taught that it wasn’t a proper word. Of course, whether it’s proper or not, I hate it.

            I also hate “irregardless”. If I said that word to my English teacher I would have been slapped into next Tuesday.

    You didn’t “research the topic”, stupid. They gave a presentation about the inner workings of the porn industry. Worker’s rights, contracts, the whole thing.You spent four days watching the inner workings of the porn industry. Not the same.
