That's... welp. That's pretty infuriating. Again. Damnitall.

I'm gonna do absolutely nothing and sleep in!

*brofist*

Even though I'm currently not in school, i.e. don't have spring break. The sentiment, it counts.

No... no damnit, you cook the roof rabbit before making a sandwich out of it. What are they teaching people nowadays when they can't even make a proper roof rabbit sandwich?

Also, that's not how you do sandwiches. I guess they could have been going for some vile corruption of french toast, though.

EDIT: Did you know, that when you mix A&W rootbeer and apple juice, it tastes *sip* like cough syrup? Gah!

agnostic just means no affiliation not unbelieving, I don't identify with a church but I believe in god

Snipe post to get this out of the way; that's not  representative of most agnostic beliefs. The closest you've got there is agnostic theism. Agnosticism is only tangentially related to church affiliation (There's plenty of non-religious or non-spiritual reasons to attend church, natch); it's primarily a position on the nature of truth or knowledge. It means without knowledge. Knowledge =/= belief, etc., so forth, so on.

So the second bit, not unbelieving, is accurate, but the first isn't. Be careful with that, heh.

Crazy generous person crazy generous It's a good thing.

Look forward to the day I'll have the free income to do stuff like this, though. Anyway, yeah, going for the 10 indies; spreads the love more, it does, and more love is mo' bettah.

RIP, Earl Scruggs.

That's a fellow who will forever be in my music playlist.

... on the other side, I didn't even know he was alive. Doubleshocker. If I'd bothered to find out, probably would have sent that man a letter of thanks or something.

Draconians also get a dragon form synergy if Gryph makes it that far.

Anywaaay. Spiderform, win game through 'till lair. Basically. Then otherstuff. Not sure what a decent god is, though. I'd probably go with Sif for book access or maybe Ashenzari because shapeshift but eh.

I think you mixed up "philosopher" with "asshole"

On the other hand, I can pretty easily see that as the sort of perspective that folks with little to no understanding of philosophy would take... but yeah. The ratio of swimmers to non-swimmers vis-a-vis philosophy students I've met is higher than non-philosophy students. Tearing apart everything you personally believe in to look at its systemic insides as a job description tends to make folks fond of relaxing practices Then existentialism and all its related kin: The answer to existential angst is either beer or chill-th'-fook-out (or suicide, which comes if they don't choose one of the two. Ehn.). Asshole philosophers tend to either get ignored or come from other disciplines first, in my experience.

Also, unfortunately, you don't get to murder people because they're assholes. Fisherman swims to shore, gets thrown in jail for 20-life. Joke's on him~ Philosophy gets the last laugh; eat social contract, ohohoho.

Anyway, re: Math; I'd have had a lot more luck learning if people would have actually taught it as what it is, namely a language. Major problem being that fluency in mathematics is something that most ground level math teachers frankly lack -- when people say "What is the point of this?" they're basically asking "Translate this into <Spoken Language> for me." A person with a very limited understanding of the language can't really do anything but throw their hands in the air, unfortunately.

Now, there's problems justifying a second language to people who don't plan on speaking it, but that's a different issue; the whole 'shutting off half of world' thing applies as your justification there. Pretty much everyone (in places with compulsory education, anyway) is at least limitedly conversant in math.
