a 500$ cables and couple electronic chips package is hardly "expensive equipment"

STEM is more than computers. See this shit?

It cost 2000 dollaridos. You need to attach it to a 4000 dollar frame for it to do anything. A STEM faculty has a shiton of expensive equipment like this laying on every lab for specific careers. STEM equipment is expensive.
 
tbh 2k is a session of university in the us so im not sure what your point is
 
I went to college to be apart of dudebro culture by joining a fraternity, which was awesome.

Rushing was pretty much playing 'edward fortyhands', which means you have two 40s taped to your hands and you got to finish 'em before 12am or else you're a lil bitch and not welcomed into the boy's club. Two 40oz steel reserves. Think about that. That's a lot, so much in fact, there was this lil' kid named Chris that puked all over himself 2hours to midnight and I still had one forty left and I really wanted to smoke a cigarette bad but couldn't so my friend was lighting cigs for me and being my personal butler while everyone is cheering at me to drink, drink, drink. So I said fuck it and gulped that motherfucker down after 3 or 4 swigs 'cause YOLO right? That was the word everyone was saying back then while TOOL blasted in the background followed by Gucci Mane.

And that's how I wasted $500 dollars paying for obnoxious friends that would make Patrick Bateman blush.

Can you make this applicable to Antifa clashes with Neonazis for the sake of the thread?
 
So was this supposed to be a thread about minor lolcows who are college students?
 
I actually go to a private liberal arts college, and seeing all the buzzwords used in the course descriptions, the fact that there is an "office of diversity" and all this other nonsense, the fact that they were celebrating feminism, the fact that I've encountered SJWs at it, and seeing what other universities are doing makes me want to drop out. Though when I see how little the one I go to does compared to all the shit places like Hartford and Yale do, I thank myself for avoiding those institutions and picking the one I'm at, which isn't nearly as extreme as the others, despite having some tendencies towards it. Though it was a breath of fresh air when people in my dorm put up Trump signs on their doors and a MAGA flag in the window above the front door, so I guess I could at least say that while this place is infected, it's not beyond all hope.

I will say this, though, despite all the negatives I mentioned, I still prefer this to a bigger college, because if you're having trouble with a course, you can always talk to your professors and they're ready and willing to help you. I say that's something I could never get at a state or community college.

But hey, I didn't come to this website to white knight, I came here to bitch about stuff and laugh at stupid things online, so let me share one of my favorite pieces of bullshit that I've experienced here!
When I moved into my dorm, they left a note on everyone's door talking about pronouns and asking people what theirs are. I was taking a German class, which has three gender cases for nouns, and that's considered exhaustive, yet they say this list of about five isn't. Not to mention that a cuck in that German class asked "What about all these other pronouns? How do we work them into German?" Even the professor didn't know how to respond, so it was pretty amusing.

The American university I attended was chock full of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans taking advantage of their GI Bill benefits, so along with the swarms of international students from overseas, they kind of balanced out the stereotypical American SJW betamales and legbeards. I graduated before the general election, so we weren't even 100% sure that Trump would win the Republican nomination at the time, but I did meet at least two students and a tenured faculty member (my cell physiology prof) who were eager to vote for Trump and trying to convert everybody they knew, plus a few more who were sympathetic to the cause but couldn't vote due to not being citizens. I did not have the misfortune of having any libtard cuck professors, but except for the cell physiology prof, they were all pretty much against Trump and for Hillary because they preferred the establishment, even if they didn't like Hillary.

There were a couple borderline incidents that made me do a doubletake though, as if the internet SJW culture was seeping over into RL. One time I was with a mycology prof collecting specimens in the wetlands when she found a centipede and in a passing referred to it with "her" and "she" pronouns. I said something to the effect of "Wow, I didn't know it was possible to identify the sex/gender of a centipede with the naked eye alone. That's really impressive observational skill!". She kind of bristled at my comment and said she couldn't actually tell whether it was a male or female centipede, but she preferred to use female pronoun as a neutral default for organisms in order to counteract 100 years of everyone else using male pronouns for the same purpose.

Another time I overheard a couple of Tumblr-y SJW type of students conspiring to file a complaint against an untenured professor because they felt the department did not have enough POC and the professor was discriminating against POC or something like that. It was hard to follow, but it made my stomach turn, because the gist of it was that they didn't like the professor's personality or attitude and were trying to crucify him on those grounds, without any legitimate grievances about any possible shortcomings of his as an instructor or researcher.

And on one occasion, while in a public study space, I made a joking remark about the incorrect grammar of a quote someone had written on a whiteboard. This tumblr girl flanked by a pair of beta numales showed up just then and immediately started retorting how it was a problematic jibe because the quote was supposed to be from an author famous for writing ebonics poems or books or something.

Another time I was in conference with this grad student for this course we were teaching, and she was almost literally triggered when someone mentioned Trump's name in passing connection with an election forum event or something of the sort on campus that would force us to reschedule our next meeting to a different location. Like it took ten seconds for her to calm down enough to get back to the topic at hand.

The other times were usually me reasonably arguing for various anti-liberal, anti-progressive viewpoints in different history classes to the discomfort of libtard students and sometimes the prof. Usually the profs were pretty good about entertaining a dissenting opinion backed by critical self-analysis, but the students sometimes did not get past the base emotional outrage and were not so tolerant.

I guess it probably depends on the institution though. Some schools or some departments are probably bonafide lolcow factories while others are productive and beneficial contributors to American economy and workforce.
 
I go to a small little college in my town because I couldn't really afford to go anywhere else and I thought it would be a small little happy community. Turns out their graduation rate is literally 20%, and thanks to a bunch of shady shit they've done behind the scenes my debt after two years is rivaling the cost it would be to go to one of the big universities around here. I've had professors so incompetent that I was the only one in their class because most other students got fed up and left and I've had some professors that have put me weeks behind everyone else because they straight up forgot to add me to their roster. Doesn't feel like it's all that worth it tbqh fam.

If North Korea doesn't count as a lolcow, how can universities? There may be many lolcows there, but by the same logic you could make a thread about "the internet".

I see your point. I even dare to suggest to change the name of this thread to something like:
-Future Lolcows
-Degrees on Useless Shit
-SJW's meet Academics
etc...

Except it's not in Community Watch anymore so it doesn't have to conform to that subforum's standards.

Everyone get back to powerleveling. Nothing to see here.
 
I've always felt that the reason College's are pushing this social justice agenda is to generate more income for the admins (psychopaths) at the top.

A lot of palms are being greased to be sure, but the radical feminist/Marxist types were always lurking in the wings since way back in the 70s or earlier.
 
I really just want to get schooled in photography, have some educational background in that, and make some money doing that ideally.

If not that, I'll do it on the side, finish my criminal justice degree, then go be a cop or something. Then I'd be justified in decking some Antifa fuck if they tried to hit me.
 
Some observations I've made as a conservative 28 year old full time undergraduate student in a borderline STEM field at a state university.

1) All of the kids are obsessed with Snapchat. It's all they do and all they think about. I took a field trip for one of my classes, and for the entire 40 minute drive both there and back, a kid in front of me did nothing but take selfies while adding those image macro caption things on them. Why these mundane activities are worth sharing, I do not yet know.

2) 80% of girls dress themselves in yoga pants, sweatshirts, and Nike running shoes on a daily basis. I find this to be incredibly boring.

3) Most of the Chinese and Korean students (of which there are a lot of) seem to be incredibly wealthy. One of these kids recently traded in his late model Jaguar coupe for a new Maserati Gibhli. This wasn't just hearsay either, I've seen proof with my own eyes.

4) Kids love virtue signaling and discussing the problems currently plaguing society, but offer no possible solutions, and rarely will they even consider discussing finding those solutions.

5) Indian kids seem to yell a lot in conversation. I'm not sure why this is, perhaps it's a way of coping with poor English skills, but when you engage in conversation with them, they scream words at you as if you are deaf.

6) Literally everything is about diversity. Diversity is the be all and end all of even the most mundane aspects of the university and its operation.

7) They are absolutely atrocious writers, both in terms of style and grammar. I have had to do a number of peer review projects this semester and was quite frankly appalled by how terrible my peer's writing is. I understand that what I read were rough drafts likely thrown together an hour before they were due, but I can tell just by the style and overall flow that they weren't going to improve much beyond the low bar they set for themselves.

Will add more when they come to mind.
