SMP Life is Being Drunk -Random Content thread - Page 216

Follow up to something posted previously way up thread. Article from the Atlantic I found interesting and very much a worthwhile read. If accurate, seems a bit disturbing to those in the teaching field and educational establishment and to those concerned with the degrading of free speech and intellectual inquiry. Seriously*.

The coddling of the American mind

Is this same thing occurring in the University systems of the UK? Somalia? Chile? Putin’s Russia?

*Or as serious as I can make myself be.

Haven't finished the article but that is disturbing. Millenials scare me even more now.

Here I was just complaining how college is the worst service because the consumers have no real power in the system but now I see that's probably a good thing because they can't handle it.

I am naked* right now typing this post in my favorite thread of SMP. I just took a hot bath and sitting naked is very comforting and helps the body cool off. If this post makes you puke then I have fulfilled my Hobbesian** duty for the day.

*Technically not true; I have an analog wristwatch on my left wrist.

**"No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death: and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."

Baths are un-American. You should take showers, like the French.

What's your metric for overweight? Maybe you're over or under height.

Further news on the plane fire thingy. The pilot had one more flight scheduled before retirement after the one he aborted.

He has decided to take early retirement.

They are overweight because they eat the right amount.

I'm exactly as tall as I should be for my height.

If you are overweight, I suggest you move to the Moon. You are a victim of Earth's gravity.

And your legs need only to go to the ground and no further. The rest is excess.

If you are underheight, falling through the event horizon of a black hole is a decent, albeit temporary, fix.

I am now worried my poop is incorrect. Do I go by mass or volume?

Both - density is the key.

I shall retaliate with a great vicious piece of British satire that you lot have almost no chance of appreciating and it serves you right. BTM2 might possibly .
