Your question presumes the institution exists to serve students. To the owners of society it provides an extraordinarily cost effective means of social control.

In before the brony horseshit.

This is like using a computer to simulate an abacus.

You forgot to mention arbitrary reboots that wipe out the entire universe.

No one.

She looks about to fly away before the sun rises upon the damned.

Those self-driving Google camera cars made it to the moon too! But now I am jaded and want to visit Alpha Centauri from my laptop so get to it.

It sounds like the Psychopath Effect: I’d wager he’s charming, charismatic, outgoing, and has the town wrapped around his finger and believing his never-ending train of lies while not giving one single fuck what he did to the victim.

This happened this morning then? How drunk do you have to be to not see a fucking parade? Blind drunk, I guess, or maybe driving too fast and losing control.

You’re right, more kids die at track from congenital heart defects than they do playing football. Five minutes on google demonstrates that clearly, but facts rarely seem to matter on gawker.

He sold CNET to CBS for $1.8 billion in 2008. By 2013, however, he was filing for bankruptcy

What about the visibility issues? How do you see around the solar panels? Because the in-cockpit instrumentation is a bit shite too.

At this point, that man is your enemy and do not let up on the legal pressure one iota. And don’t listen to a single overture of his bullshit. It absolutely drives me crazy to hear over and over again how women continue to let these parasite bullshit men use their credit cards.

That’s really tough hon, I don’t know what to say. But you know, seven years is an accomplishment, most people on the autism rainbow have no relationships at all, in my experience.

I never saw this movie. That makes me some kind of monster or outcast. But after missing it as a kid, I really, never could get motivated to see it later. It always looked like a goofy Teen Wolf version of time travel to me, and really who could care about that. It never seemed very serious. Flame away, I am…

Oh my god it has a Facebook comment system and morons want the removal of Frankenstein — the foundational novel of science fiction — for some incoherent New Wave bullshit by a NAMBLA lover. Fuck Dahlgren and fuck Delany.

She’s not just the best “woman” scif-fi writer, being better than Le Guin who is the only one close to her, she is one of the best sci-fi writers there is. Bar none. And she’s a wonderful fantasy writer too.

C.J. Cherry is one of the best and most criminally underrated scifi novelists in my view. She is the one who probably had the most sexism against her in terms of awards and acclaim of any quality sf writer. Her incredibly dense sociological takes of alien societies should be textbooks.

How is Jack Vance or C.J. Cherryh left field? They are brilliant writers if you are reading. Some of her other picks are a bit odder, but none of them are out of whack. This is actually a solid top ten list. Nobody can actually create the “best ten sci-fi novels” list of all time, it’s a ludicrous excercise in…

Literature, music, television, and movies do not impose content restrictions on their readers, listeners, and viewers because they are not worried about the consequences.
