Or protest in just about every country in Africa run by them. I think the Oakland Police Assn should just use the fire exit door and see how long those BLMs can stay locked up. It would get boring/nasty pretty quickly I would think.

That really is a bigoted statement. I know it will be hard to believe but black people are just as individually different as white people. I know, right? Surprised me too the first time I talked with a black person.

Wouldn't you have had to talk to at least one more to know they were different?

I hid in a corner to listen to several talk. I wouldn't want to know too many of them... you know what I mean.

lol, I haven't heard anything. My next door neighbor is one of the deans there. If I get a chance I will ask.





I'm confused what makes these people different from your average annoying religious zealot?

A guy on the subway last night tried to hand me a "socialist bill of rights".

QuoteAmong the incidents detailed by Mic include a woman who said she sat in a meeting with dozen men who “stereotyped women as being nags.”

Whoa, irony.


A GOOGLE-INCUBATED PROGRAM that has been targeting potential ISIS members with deradicalizing content will soon be used to target right-wing extremists in North America...

In the pilot program countering ISIS, the so-called Redirect Method collected the metadata of 320,000 individuals over the course of eight weeks, using 1,700 keywords...

[The group is now working] to target other extremists, including on the hard right...

“Our efforts during phase two, when we’re going to focus on the far right in America, will be very much focused on the small element of those that promote Nazi ideology and imagery, or memes. The interesting thing about how they behave is they’re a little bit more brazen online these days than ISIS fan boys,” Frenett said.

He noted that this new target demographic is more visible online.

“In the U.K., if someone in their Facebook profile picture has a swastika and is pointing a gun at the camera, that person is committing a crime,” Frenett said. “In the U.S., there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. So we found that when we’re looking for individuals that are genuinely at risk of carrying out annuda shoah, that they’re relatively open online.”

“Some thought it was only a satire. They used to laugh about it. They thought it was a joke. They are not laughing anymore. Today they realize the gravity of the situation.”...

The next phase will also home in on changes in users’ behavior.

“The idea that you can’t measure consumption patterns online is frankly absurd,” Frenett said.

Hey, ladies!
Feeling burdened by all that freedom?
Looking to get back to basics?
Do you yearn for a strong, decisive (potentially psychotic) man?

Eh, hmm... I like you. Don't get me started ranting on your ass.  >:(

Why does this get this reaction? What gets you hot?

I wasted my 20s on the art meme, so I found it funny.

Okay, 'funny', I'll let you have that. But not necessarily accurate. I'm not in the mood now but I've already taken one guy down a good while ago who had made such a statement. Took him down good! He couldn't respond. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because the general public doesn't know any better and often tend to believe some of the myths churned out across the media. They don't have the slightest clue of the richness that can be learned from a 'good' art school. Things way outside of the realm of the Arts. Granted, there are some bad ones and you're wasting your time if the major is from some run of the mill college.

In the meantime, the most waste of time classes that I've ever taken were all the totally bullshit required Education classes. Especially after you've had a few. After that, it's nothing but redundancy by mandate.

Idk about art schools specifically, I do know that at most universities, your average liberal arts, and even many social science degrees are about as useful as toilet paper in today's job market.  I had professors reassure me that my arts degree would be so in demand, and actually make me more money than non-arts majors, and being the gullible SJW college kid I was, I bought it.  Took me years of on-and-off unemployment and crap paying jobs to realize it was all a lie.  As far as I'm concerned, much of higher education is a scam.  Vocational degrees should not be looked down on, and instead of telling kids that they can be anything they want to be with their transintergender studies degree, how about pushing STEM degrees since many of those careers are so in-demand, that employers often have to look overseas for qualified employees?  /rant

Yeah my story is pretty similar. I wasted my 20s eeking out a living in a couple different art industries.  Went into business and financial investing in my 30s and my life immediately turned around for the better.

What's funny is my parents owned an artistic business and were so prejudiced against students out of art school. They flat out refused to hire them because it would take too long to reprogram them and they were always lazy and stupid. Every field I've been in, especially subjective ones like art, it's always been about hustle more than anything else.

For the most part, I agree with both of you. But the real problem is that we have saturated the halls of higher learning while at the same time eliminating our jobs. At least, the jobs that pay anything. It's pretty much across the board.

From childhood, all along, I wanted to be a psychiatrist. When it came time to pick a major, I chickened out. Not proud of this but it was mostly because I dreaded having to take higher math courses such as statistics. After getting a bachelors degree, a masters from a very prestigious institution and the equivalent of a second masters, there was a time that I very much regretted not going into psychology. Then I did a little research and a lot of thinking and realized that I would have still ended up in the same damned sinking boat if I had. It really crosses almost all majors; albeit, some more than others. Very few have survived. Even then, they've often managed to spit out their seasoned professionals in favor of the juniors or cheaper (and not necessarily better) foreigners, be they outsourced or insourced. Wouldn't mind so much about that if we weren't forcing our own out who are in need. You know the story.

Ultimately, no one was more shocked at how much I learned in Art school than I. One must remember, art is a form of communication. The trick is understanding what is being communicated, why, and how it's done.

I'm intensely curious to know, what you thought the job of a psychiatrist actually entailed. Because the reality is just dishing out pills.

Did you perhaps wish to be a psychologist or a sociologist instead?

You're right. In actuality, it turns out that what I wanted was to be a psycho-analyst.

Bingo! I aspired to be an artist in my teens. My high school art teacher even wrote me a letter before I graduated trying to convince me to go to art school. However, his note also contained a critique of my weakness too: technique. I could come up with some pretty good ideas and. given enough time to work on them, produce what I'd envisioned. Eventually I'd taken almost every art class I could and was taking the college prep art history classes with all the other promising art students. It was there that I witnessed who had the capacity to be a real artist and who didn't. Sure, give me a few hours and I could come up with a drawing of you that will actually look like you. The real artists could do that in a few minutes. You've got to be good but you've also got to be quick too. ;)

At about 3:30 minutes in Hockney starts talking about using the iPad for his art and addresses this:

Making one's living via painting, drawing or sculpting is often not the way that many successful former art students make their living; and not necessarily because they cannot find work. I'm talking about where it eventually leads one. Art school is the catalyst for them. Many of them end up taking their learning and using it as architects, filmmakers, photographers, set designers, art or classroom teachers, musicians, fashion designers, furniture designers, curators, historians, writers, producers, marketing and graphic designers or display artists. Sometimes, like many other degrees, it will require additional learning; be it in schoool or on the job training; but it can provide a great background to move you in all sorts of directions. If you limit yourself solely to those 3 plastic arts, than you either aren't going to a good art school or you truly don't understand the vast exposure an art degree can provide.

Wait until she sees Moonman.


Why would the most hardcore liberal politician in the country want to lower the voting age? Hmmm...
