ebl Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Our written language is getting stupider by the minute. First, it's the "st," "nd," "rd," and "th" added to a date (like today, August 26 would be written as "August 26th." You don't need the "th" on it, as it's read that way when written as "August 26"). Now, for an encore, I'm seeing written fractions as "1/3rd," "3/4ths," etc. The simple term, "1/3," is read as "one third" so no "rd" is necessary. This is definitely something brought to you by the "Apostrophes in Plurals" ( ) crowd. Eric
wumwip Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 ^ That's so stupid! Wow... I'm really gonna hate school now...
Foxy Roxy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I don't understand why I should have to install an older version of iTunes just because I needed something faster.
onewheeled999 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 So I was at my annual school carnival tonight, when there were like three fights at once, and the police showed up. A full 45 minutes before the carnival ended, they forced EVERYBODY out of the school. If you stopped to ask a security guard or policeman a question, like I did, they would SCREAM in your face to tell you to get off school property. So that means I couldn't get a school worker to help me get my backpack, which was left in the gym. It's still there. I can't get it until Monday. This whole night was just miserable, having a policeman yell at you so viciously when you haven't done a thing is a horrible experience.
wumwip Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I really really really really really REALLY suck at algebra... they should make it an elective... along with science. You're never going to use those two things in life. With math, all you need to know are the BASICS: Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide. That's ALL... why does this world have to make EVERYTHING so freaking complicated?!?!?!??
SharkTums Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 ^Actually I still use basic algebra on a weekly basis and I don't have a job that would be considered in the math field. Also, science being elective? Um, yeah, you may want to learn something about how the world around you works. Maybe there's something else going on here though because I don't know too many 21 year olds still taking Algebra.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 A 21 year old in Algebra? Yeah, that's a little odd. Especially considering I'm 16 and in a Pre Calculus class.
Foxy Roxy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I believe the point of teaching math outside of engineering and science is to build up advance problem solving abilities.

Maybe there's something else going on here though because I don't know too many 21 year olds still taking Algebra. I gained nothing from taking science classes in high school. Now economics is actually worth your time, since you learn the IMPORTANT stuff. And, I'm not saying I'm taking an algebra class. I passed them all, I just think they're stupid because hardly anyone will use it ever in their life... and even though I passed those classes, I still suck at it, therefore I didn't gain **** out of it.
spacemtfan Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Just when I think reality television couldn't get any more stupider..."Jersey Shore" appears in front of me and proves to me that there is no hope for the television industry. People actually watch this garbage! They are only feeding the beast!
jray21 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 ^Haha! Jersey Shore is some of the best crap on TV!
AllenA07 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Now economics is actually worth your time, since you learn the IMPORTANT stuff. You know math and those subjects that "nobody will ever use" are pretty critical to understand economics?
spacemtfan Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 ^Haha! Jersey Shore is some of the best crap on TV! I'll admit, Snooki getting knocked out was the best thing I have seen on MTV in a while.
kcsteve Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Okay, my rant: People with whom I share a name who can't be bothered to actually know their email/Gmail address and enter mine instead. The amount of crap I receive because of these idiots is ridiculous. And no, it's not spam. These are people registering on websites or signing up for newsletters. In hindsight, .@gmail.com probably wasn't the best choice.
BigDipper 80 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I really just despise the planet right now. Everyone seems so...fake. Life, it seems, is just a big game of charades that no one can ever win.
Angry_Gumball Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Cursed Intamin Cable... I blame it for hiding my PS3 games. Baffled as to where they can be.
wumwip Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Now economics is actually worth your time, since you learn the IMPORTANT stuff. You know math and those subjects that "nobody will ever use" are pretty critical to understand economics? Not really. But economics and US history go hand-in-hand, that's for sure.

Hmm, obviously Geometry wasn't your thing either, cuzz your logic doesn't compute.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I hate being politically correct. Especially in the workplace. I'm tired of reps at the job lying to me in the face because of poor ethics but strong political correctness.
wumwip Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I can't beat the Fill-Bots 2 level in Rhythm Heaven! I keep screwing up on the back beats!
spacemtfan Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I can't beat the Fill-Bots 2 level in Rhythm Heaven! I keep screwing up on the back beats! Rhythm Heaven is quite a difficult game! I've only played it on my friend's DS, though. Dude, I can't get past stage 8 on Super Castlevania IV! Those stupid flying eyeballs that drip lava/blood always hit me and send me back underneath the spikes (which kill instantly).
wumwip Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 ^ It's difficult at times, but it's very fun and has some catchy music tunes. One of my top favorites: My rant: I have watched numerous video that PROVE Activision doesn't give a rat's end about Crash Bandicoot or Spyro... WHY ACTI?!?! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!!!?
Jds03 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I just spent two hours writing and uploading images for my Intimadatour PTR only to loose everything instantly in a safari crash.
amyzoo Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I just saw a girl wearing a tank top that looked like she hadn't shaved her armpits for weeks! That's not right, I don't want to see that- wear a shirt with sleeves at least
Nrthwnd Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Darn. My avatar is almost "at an end". The 100th Anniversary PNE, ends it's run thru this coming Labor Day weekend.
