Before World War 2, some Jews were allowed to leave Germany and emigrate as long as they gave the Nazis all their money first (and found somewhere willing to take them, because being racist about immigration is not a new thing in e.g. Britain or the US). Presumably this was the free market at work and thus fine and good?

I get that, to a degree. But pulling your books out during social engagements? Seems way more likely to be some kind of martyrdom display to me.

But that’s because with semi-maturity comes the power to attend class and resist the urge to half-rear end anything you think you can get away with.

Lol she couldn't be a more stereotypical phd student. She's actually mad at the bf because she's doing a doctorate at a private school and he's just getting a degree from a community college. That's the true issue that post is about. It has nothing to do with the character of his efforts or whatever, it's about 'how can you give a poo poo about any of this, don't you know that I'M GETTING A PHD". Can't wait for her to start rolling her eyes whenever he mentions anything about school in the next few years, it's going to be great.

Her main issue with him was that he was lazy and sat around playing video games and smoking weed all the time. Now he is not being lazy and sitting around playing video games and smoking weed all the time, and she is upset and wants him to slack off. She didn't realise how comfortable she was with their relationship dynamic where she was the awesome productive academic and he was the lazy fuckup. Now that he's not being a lazy fuckup, she feels threatened so has to find some way to reassert how she is the "good" one in the relationship. After all, what if he works hard and gets his life together and then realises that he could actually do better than her? Instead, she'll sabotage his efforts to study and make him feel like his hard work is actually worth poo poo compared to the gleaming towers of academia that she and other "real" students occupy. When he fails, she is then safe and will never have to critically examine her own life or improve herself because she's so successful and great compared to her uneducated pot slob; she'll always looks great by default. If she actually gave a poo poo, Ms "I teach people at this level for a living" would offer to help or give him some kind of study advice to make it all feel a bit less overwhelming. It's a big life change going from being a lazy pot smoker whose free time is his own to having homework and trying to learn math again after a decade of not using it. Maybe he is dumb and finds easy subjects difficult, but it's really lovely to judge people for being smart or dumb because they have no control over their innate intelligence. The only thing they can actually control is how much effort they put into learning things, and he is apparently putting in a lot of effort and getting great grades as a result. It's pretty telling that she finds his hard work and success threatening rather than exciting. Maybe he is making a bit of a show of being a student, but that is probably because she clearly makes such a show of her identity as an academic. She's clearly used to being "the smart one" - whatever lipservice she pays about him being smart: quote:He gets great grades because he's an adult at a community college attending class with a bunch of teenagers basically, not necessarily because he's smarter than any of them, just way older.  She in no way thinks he is smart and hates the fact that he is succeeding.

I feel for the guy, honestly. I was on the fence about applying to grad school (and was probably the only linguistics grad in my BA group to not want to be an audiologist). When I decided to take my GRE, I doubled down probably way too hard on the math part and took that GRE prep book drat near everywhere on the off chance I had some time to kill and could go over all the 9th grade level math formulas I'd forgotten about since it'd been seven years since I'd ever used them. I love the 'smart but doesn't apply himself' complaint. Beep boop I am a PhD student. I only date the most exceptional of mental stock.

"why didn't you buy one with seats in the back?" "why do you keep it when it breaks down so much" etc. Typically at a really opportune juncture, like when I'm skinning my knuckles trying to fix something). That being said, comparing it to her ex boyfriend's car was typical reddit-level shitheadery. The only acceptable answer there is to say to get out and walk it if it's such a hardship.

P-Mack posted:Delaware offered compensated emancipation but the slaveholders wouldn't take them up on it. Because they really, really liked slavery. Then the offer wasn't high enough is their position. I do need to repeat that Austrian School Libertarians who are the absolute most hardcore don't actually believe in evidence. If you don't believe me, let me quote the Wikipedia page here on one of their biggest names: "He wrote that conclusions could not be inferred from empirical observation or statistical analysis and argued against the use of probabilities in economic models" Granted, the other more mainstream position for Libertarians is that Slavery was defacto wrong because those agreements weren't willingly entered upon so the Slaves had a right to be free. This then runs directly into an issue of what the proper use of force was and a lot of Libertarians get caught up in the old "You can have your pound of flesh but you aren't allowed to spill a single drop of blood" issue.

But seriously, when you haven't had to find the cosine of something in however many years, I don't fault someone for having to relearn it. Math teachers were full of poo poo when they said we'd need that poo poo in everyday life. Most I've ever used was, like, figuring out the area of something.
