Honest take.
I never deserved what I claim I did.
I breezed through a simple Master's program DASA (Demographics and Social Analysis, UC Irvine)
I just used SPSS, which is like Excel meant for the social sciences.
I could post a thread in some forum. Manicbaseball was the place.
I didn't really UNDERSTAND sociology and used incorrect veribage. "I said... this disproves the null hypothesis, thus proving my hypothesis correct."
The teacher graded on a STRICT curve... "Ok, you got 8 of 15 problem correct A-."
I got a 3.44 GPA in my MA. I didn't work very hard. I just made assumptions, ran them through SPSS, and drew conclusions like a script rather than a student.
I DID spend $1700 to get the REAL SPSS, but my license ran out a couple computers ago. From 2008 to 2015, I was hooked on putting any and all data into SPSS and running analyses.
I would sperg out over my YouThink "career" of my journals. All my posts were designed to get a discussion going, like a random topic and the meme of 2002 was "All of Electric's journals change topics" - Travbowman
YT really did help me get over my mom. I invited her there, by choice. That is where the name Thinkerbell comes from. Her name.
She posted there too, and was funny but aggressive. Her idea of "relaxing" is what she calls "arguing with idiots" on YT.
Her favorite: CowDung. (Snarky libertarian/conservative/Sanders supporter)
Least favorite: Explodo (Warmonger)
As Electric, I just talked and was very Nixonian.
I always tried to find a third side to every issue.
Hella gay.
