Worth it even if they are a pain in the ass from time to time. Having been through it from beginning to end I'll offer some advice to those of you who do choose to have kids. The more time you spend with them the more you get in return. They are …

I'd be curious to know if any of the folks with kids were ever planning to not have children at all with their significant other. i'm not talking about the "i'm 25, F*ck kidz, lets get drunk", but the "we are a married/established couple and have n…

Maggie Cheung with a very safe pre-nup in place! You got more money than Maggie Cheung?

You bitter, son! (Worth it. But the cost is heavy!)

You have to wear Apple earbuds to operate it? Lame.

Weddings are (or should be) far less about the couple than about the assembled people. I go both ways on this. I can't stand solipsistic weddings but I also don't like when couples spend so much time trying to meet the needs of the "assembled peopl…

Frank: maybe we're talking about two different things. I think trust is pretty fundamental so yeah, it doesn't make sense to pair up with someone you don't unconditionally trust. But plenty of perfectly happy, functional relationships can survive …
-
Some of you newlywed dudes or whatever, need to check in after you've had a couple of kids. It's a whole other dynamic and romance goes out the window. Still... I married the right woman, but when you're not getting as much as you used to or you g…

Don't listen if people say "you'll never find 100%" because you can. No offense Frank but I call absolute bullshit on this. Any relationship is a compromise. That said, The Non needs to get the F*ck out. There's no compromising with most of what…

Ok, just to clarify. I have nothing against the institution of marriage. Just that I don't understand why one would go into a relationship thinking about marriage...I'm saying, I don't think there needs to be a conscious choice made between the Tr…

Actually, when I met my wife, I had every intention of f*cking her based upon mere physical attraction. I think this is where many marriages originally began. And many failed (though temporarily satisfying) jump-offs began too.

How would you meet a poetry major outside of school? Don't you technically have to be in school to be any major? I don't meet accounting majors outside of school either! Ok, that nicky-picky point aside, the distinction you're drawing is that some …

I've got a question for the profs/instructors here. If someone had to retake your class, how would you feel about them reusing assignments they had already turned in to you? My last semester of college I had to take a required business writing cour…

And three colleagues I know all got jobs this year to teach ethnomusicology or music. That sort of proves my point. They got jobs teaching what they just learned. and the "real world vs. academia" distinction isn't something I personally ma…

But dude, do you even know what the likelihood of finding employment in those two respective fields even are? You make it sound like computer engineers have an easy time finding work while anthropologists don't but a lot fewer people pursue career…

Also, I think the US should put more resources into developing more and better trade schools. I don't think every American needs to go to college - it's an unrealistic expectation and puts impossible burdens on an infrastructure that can't really ac…

Like Big Stacks suggests, there's a growing expectation in higher education that students are paying for a piece of paper, a degree, not a quality education. That's all I bought with my money. I learned stuff, but the reason I got a computer pro…

Ariel: Between you and I - as fellow educators - I'll admit to the slippery slope. But would I tell my students that? Hell no. I give them a fear-of-god speech every semester to let them know - this is what plagiarism (including recycling papers) …
-
ok, so if i wrote about a certain topic before and now am writing about an offshoot of that topic,im cool? It's not a black or white issue but let me put it this way - the two times I caught a student recycling a paper, they pretty much recycled I…
-
I disagree. THey already went through the steps of researching and writing that paper. Not for MY class they didn't! Since when does one get class credit for shit done is someone else's class? NOw if its a "pick your own subject" and dude kee…
-
Sorry, but this isn't a legitimate complaint as you'll find out if you try to pursue it. I disagree. If I were in charge of my department's hiring of lecturers and I found out that someone was having students buy their "textbook" which is just ma…
-
Even the "effort" argument I don't get, but maybe I'm not understanding the concept here.. Gary, when I make an assignment for my students, part of my expectation is that whatever they turn in will be *original*, by which I mean, they started and …
-
Re: Gary's logic: college campuses and "the real world" are rather different in both good and bad ways. Just because you can get away with shit in the real world vs. college (or vice versa) doesn't justify it, especially when there's a very clear co…

Brian: I'd report this d-bag, stat. Since he's a lecturer, I would bet you that the dept hasn't monitored what's been going on at all and they would appreciate knowing that one of their hired guns is trying to fleece students on some bullshit. My …

the guys teaching the course arent part of the department...they just come in every other year to teach this course. twould still be risky. but isnt it my work in the first place? or is it violating a "double dipping" code? F*ck!!!!!!!!! these guy…

i am seriously considering tweaking two old papers of mine for the two we gotta write for this class. is that unprofessional? stacks? You know that's foul, Tripledouble. See, I ask my colleagues whether a student has written a particular paper for…

The key question will be: who evaluates? And how do you guarantee the system is fair? I don't think it's a bad idea in theory but I can see why union members would be wary as hell.

It's a $100 record, or so that's what it seems to go for simply because of the song selection. It got booted by Breeder years back for some reason. It's a comp of stuff that came out on Sunshine which explains why Abarakadabara, Anak Bayan and Bit…
