I never understood people's fascination and obsession with sex, or more specifically, to have it. I don't see why it's a mark of pride to have had sex before going to college, or before graduating it, and I don't see why not having sex is such a big deal. I don't see why people (more often men) comment "that dude…

I got:

I just realized my comment was unclear, and I have fallen victim to the whole "say" vs. "write" pit. What I meant was, I hate it when I see "should of" written instead of "should have". Especially in video games and blog posts.

Haha, true, but I couldn't resist the urge to rant about that particular thing. I can stand almost any grammar/writing mistake (even the dreaded "you're/your" switcharoo) except that one.

OMG I (as a non-English major) hate it when people say "should of" instead of "should've" SKLJDF:S:JK HELP

Pffft. Team Katniss. She is just too cool for either.

I should have been more clear. Without the altruism of scientists, we'd still be using oil for lanterns instead of electricity. However, BiologyOnline is an almost obsolete no-name (compared to ScientificAmerican), and there is literally no gain for her (humanitarian, scientific, academic, or monetary) if she were to…

First off, who expects a professional scientist to do anything for frickin' free, when they have, I dunno, research to carry out, meetings to hold, papers to publish, and actual paid blogs to write??? I mean, scientists will often do things for CHARITY, but c'mon. They're smart people. They won't put their valuable…

People who say "chick" to describe the female gender are always douchebags.

Sssshh...someone just wants to complain.

Agreed! At my university the econ and philosophy majors are the absolute worst out of these "intellectuals", and they'll try to use their twisted understanding of society to justify their bigotry. The hard sciences do have their own version of the bigot-"intellectual", but they are far fewer in number, at least in my…

It's not just science "intellectuals" (emphasis on quotes)! Liberal arts "intellectuals" are guilty of this too! Only they use "cultural" and "economic" reasons to justify their rampant sexism/racism/homphobia. In my university it's those philosophy/econ major buttholes who ruin people's days. One econ major once…

Cheer up Chief! At least this year we got froyo on campus!

Yeesh. I don't know if she's doing this out of pure irony, or what.

I'm really sorry about how you're being treated overseas. The exotification and de-normalization of black people is awful. Apparently some East Asians think that black people even have different colored blood. BlackinAsia (tumblr) wrote beautiful posts on that matter (and he's a Duke alum, too ;) ). Also: the…

The issue with her article is how she concludes. She has experienced racially based discomfort in Uganda, and then praises her "anonymous" life as a white person in the U.S, while seemingly ignoring the fact that non-white citizens experience racial discomfort everyday in the U.S. You'd think that her experiences in…

GASP *spasms uncontrollably*

This reminds me of this awful article some student at my university (white) wrote about her experience in Uganda. It's not totally related, but it's hilarious how oblivious some people are. http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2013/…

ahem. I have calmed.

EXACTLY. To all those who wonder why middle schoolers are so fucking miserable all the time, IT'S BECAUSE OUR MOUTHS WERE WIRED SHUT WE COULDN'T EAT WE COULDN'T TALK WE WERE SCREAMING INSIDE BUT YOU DIDN'T HEAR ALL TO GET SOME SUPERFICIALLY STRAIGHT TEETH
