This is beyond petty, but when I type "fuck" into my mobile, my autocomplete prompts me to add the name of a specific university.

Guess which one.

WTF motivates you to say sh!t like that?

I use up all my filters at work.

I'm so there with you, polly_mer.

Hmmm. Harvard? Or Trump U?

I continue to receive positive feedback for the "wall of text" posts as being useful to people who want to learn about the problems and don't read as extensively as I do.

Thus, I'm usually writing for that audience, not the person who responded, which is why I often skip a point-by-point rebuttal in favor of the next researched post on the topic.

If you don't want to read it, then don't, but then don't also make statements like, how could anyone have known <something that has been readily available for decades as a steady stream in the popular press aimed at an educated audience>?

Wait, someone's talking about Trump U on these fora? :)

Our first "serpent's tooth!"

Well that certainly squares, because you are tired.

Me thinks thou art indeed a student, and I'm not the first forumite to do so.

[polly_mer]

I have to go get something else done and that was most of the time I could devote to these fora this week.

You are welcome, lurkers who need someone other than Professor Sparklepony as well as anyone else who doesn't get enough perspective from outside a local bubble.

Or what if we had a system where choices like that didn't have to be made. Just because things exist like that now does not mean it has to be that way.

Unrelated to anything above...I think...

If it weren't about something so serious, I'd enjoy a good game of dueling metaphors...

Nearly everything you post makes me want to reply with the blank face emoji.

I'm grateful we have the benefit of well-equipped experts who can discuss things like epidemic vectors and statistical variations with good sense and confidence.

I mean that sincerely.

The wisdom and experience represented here are so valuable, and so worthy of our respect.
