What really gets me is the "I've never failed a single student before" line.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? Is that supposed to be a metaphor for capitalism?

They can't even consider for two seconds what their actual belief system is. Everything must start and end with owning the libs

Every semester you get at least one or two fails for the students who literally turn in nothing. This person has obviously never worked in higher ed.

2) It attempts to compare a system for the equitable distribution of resources across an entire population with a system intended to measure individual achievement. This is as nonsensical as positing that under a socialized health care system, the heart rates, blood pressures, weights, and other vital statistics of patients would all be averaged together rather than being individually charted and treated.

this is a very good rebuttal and im saving it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That is definitely written by a person who would also tell you that working is good for work's sake and the fact that you get paid for working is a bonus to a job well done and not the reason for working.

I work 80 hours a week (but 20 of those hours are exercising, 20 are power brunch, 15 are napping stratégerie, 5 are meditation time)

I remember that breakdown, it was all meetings, power brunches, strategy naps and 'other '. About 10 hours a week were what normal people would consider to be actual work.

The moral, of course, is that the students should kill and eat the teacher and then seize the means of grading for their own use.

The real tell is that capitalists always assume everyone is lazy and they would rather die than work together to make socialism work

After the class gets a lower score because some people decide to "be lazy", the other classmates would probably figure out quickly who isn't pulling their own weight and devise a solution to that.

The second test average was a D! Nobody was happy, and for some reason, seeing the way the trend was going, they all decided to do gently caress-all for the 3rd test and they failed it like idiots.

Now I, as a very intelligent capitalist teacher, give one student an A+ because that's the grade I gave his father when he was my student. Three lucky students get Bs and everyone else fails.

That story is obviously bullshit because real professors leave the grading to their grad students and only show up to write poo poo on the board for an hour a week and not take questions.

the only person to ever peddle the "9/11 was an inside job" bullshit in my presence was a professor of mine

he did this during the middle of a class, apropos of nothing

save it as a .zip file, open it in explorer, move the image out as a file?

I know that works for MS-Word files, and can be the saving grace if you've got a corrupted document or one that is too large of a file to open.

edit: yep, worked fine, you just need to go to the xl folder and the media folder after that.

Yes, we watched vampire movies in class. Then discuss said film as it relates to mythology.
