>this is me
am I making it? sometimes I voice opinions just because seminars are slow as fuck and I can feel the profs sinking in depression and awkward silence
imagine you getting home all sad about what she did so you sit on the couch with an angry expresison on your face and your arms crossed and she gets behind you and kisses your neck and say "user... it's just my job you know, don't be sad, come here" so she slides her hands across your body and buries your head on her big warm tits
Next class, just sit right at the front You'll pay more attention to your teacher and less attention to the retards in your class. Focus on what's being taught and nothing else, my friend
Henry Martinez
You should've told her it's only silent if you're an anglocuck

I recently got into a lengthy autistic argument with a prof in the middle of a class and now we're late with the actual lectures. Don't do this.
I do this all the time. I don't remember how the subject came up but my professor used the word "octopi" and I quickly pounced on his error to inform him that the word octopus is of Greek, not Latin, origin, and that it makes more sense to use the Greek suffix, giving us "octopodes".
Dylan Moore
Octopodes just mean eight legs.
Ryan Brown
Yeah, it's also the plural form of octopus.
Michael Edwards
why wouuld ever go to a philosophy lecture and not speak? isnt that the fucking point? to learn by engagement and thorough testing of what the professor is telling you?
Owen Long
>saying pseudo-intellectual in real life OH NONONONO
This is 101 with 100 kids in it. No, your Young Conservative Party reading group quotes are not hot takes and the fundamental party differences have nothing to do with this discussion on war. All you are doing is airing your pompous insecurity from years in private school. In a real school you would be beaten and sold to the middle east for a basket of rice.

Seriously, it happened so fast. First all those reddit posts regarding the NZ shooting, now this thread...

Hunter Thomas

Joshua Wilson
Pseud stands for Pseudointellektueller. That means the p isn't silent.

Adam Morales
Pseudo has a greek ethimology, the P is absolutely not silent. OP take your revenge on that pseud teacher! >pic related
>take philosophy class to become more knowledgeable about the world around me and myself >say nothing and just agree and listen to what other people say
I feel like a new man!
Caleb Wright
Or just use "Octopuses" or "Octopus(plural)" cause we're speaking English here.
Where did this idea of using latin plurals for some words even come from? We don't do it for other loan words
Grayson King
didn't happen but very very funny post usually i'd steal a post like this for my stand up routine but obviously i can;t as it wouldn't work verbally
No you’re here to shut up and keep your head down while you get your certificate proving how very very smart you are, stupid wt boy
Like said. Shut up nerd.
Gabriel Cruz
who knows, maybe reading green texts out loud is the only way to make stand up comedy funny
Eli Brown
>Taking a philosophy class >Philosophy here means a “history of smart people discussing famous arguments” class >Wonder why the professor and other students don’t seem to care about your hot takes
Honestly, if the class is ever structured to have a dialogue it’s mostly for the teacher’s amusement, for your enjoyment, and to keep things fresh.
Reality check though: you’re not historic, you’ve no skin in the game (published anything lately under your real name, user?), and you’re probably not smart because most freshmen aren’t.
If people, especially the professor, are telling you to shut the fuck up, you probably should listen, the classroom is not a battleground and people who see it as one learn less and fail more.
Michael Thompson
user, you're a grown ass man, i know it feels horrible to fuck up like that, but just own it, yeah im the pseud man, if anyone asks you wtf was up with that, you didn't get enough sleep, so brain didn't work so good and laugh it off don't worry about it, don't drop out or you'll regret it forever, in a few months no one will remember that shit except your friends just to poke fun of you from time to time
