"Prove that the sum of two irrational numbers is an irrational number" is not a valid homework question.

Soylent Pudding posted:Not really, which is why I clarified that regardless of sensibility it's still something that is terribly frustrating and possibly offensive to a lot of students seeking medical treatment. If you're pregnant and get offended when a medical facility asks if you're pregnant, you seriously need to grow the gently caress up. It's time to start taking into account that you have a thing growing inside your loving beer gut and learn some responsibility. We don't need some deformed offspring walking the streets at night, mangling people, just because you lied to a doctor and took medicine that changed a normal kid into the monster from It's Alive.

How loving hard is it for some of y'all to grasp that non sexually active students get upset when doctors don't trust that answer? This is doubly true down here in the deep South, "That Doctor wouldn't stop questioning my commitment to Christ."

On the other hand, it's equally likely to be "Are your parents going to sue us if there's anything important you're not telling us?" from the university staff's side. Personally, I sympathize with both sides but American culture today is such that the university most likely will get sued if the student lies and the university proceeds in error as a result. It's never the special snowflake's fault.

Cake Attack posted:lol wow what class is this for? Introduction to Advanced Mathematics. It's a high-end math class only for people that like math enough to major or minor in it. I saw that question and wrestled with it for a while before I realized that I was trying to prove the impossible. I felt like a dummy but really, a college professor teaching a 300-level math class should know better.

I swear to god every time someone rides a longboard across campus, 3 morons see them and decide it's a great idea. I almost hit one with my car today when he was more focused on pushing off every 3 feet than looking both ways before crossing the street.

Alright, kiddo, someone asked you what the gently caress you were talking about, so go ahead and enlighten us about whatever "social experiment"/class project/viral marketing thing/attention-seeking ploy you've come up with. It's your time to shine.

gently caress calling the 5-0, what we need here is some street justice. Carry one of the big liter bottles of the reddest sports drink you can find with you to class, and then beat yourself over the head with it for letting people get away with spraying you with poo poo for months

I'm in an MBA program. The classes are typically small and rather interactive with the material. Someone brought up an example about downsizing, citing a study that people who work at a company that is experiencing layoffs typically have health issues correlated. Weight gain, high blood pressure, depression/anxiety, whatever. So people who are being laid off or those who are worried can have lingering health issues. One of the weirdo engineers in the class pipes up "But if they're underperforming employees, why does it matter if they have health problems?" I thought it was a dark joke and I snickered. He was serious. So, yeah, I met the guy who personifies the beep-boop soulless Scrooge robot that all the MBA jokes are written about. He's also smelly and wears cargo shorts to every class.

As are a lot of early CS students or people trying to become engineers. Soooooo many of them are like "oh what, you have to actually work to get these high paying high prestige jobs? gently caress, man." chemosh6969 posted:I'm running a business, not a charity. Except that these days "downsizing" often means "how can I eliminate 1/3 of the staff, force the rest to pick up the slack, and quit giving them raises?" Downsizing very commonly means that the boss decided he isn't rich enough and is going to go on a rampage of dicking over as many people as he can.
