You know what really grinds my gears?!
I'll pile in to the "will wear a suit happily, but not every day" camp. Both (large-ish) companies I've worked for have required I dress nice but not suit-and-tie nice. Dress shirt or sweater and decent pants is my typical go-to. Jeans are cool but I don't wear 'em every day.

My goal is to never work anywhere that a tie is required equipment. Not that I mind wearing one, it just tends to speak to the company culture and I'm not really uptight enough to (happily) work somewhere that would require one.

I thought we learned from the election thread that if you ever change your position on something, you're a fraud who only believes what you said the first time?

Quit pandering to your audience, Polen. :lol:

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

People who think Facebook group chats are a good replacement for organized discussions. Good thing these forums have a predefined place I can gripe about this.

Edit: Wink
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

Are we really discussing this again? This has come up through at least 3 different alumni. I'm tired of seeing this whiney shit about the Millennials. Make a new social media if you guys want to keep repeating the same things over and over, and take your back pills.

Nobody ever said that. Very few current students have a desire to make a build thread, talk about home improvement, or jerk each other off about guns. What that is indicative of is another ball game.

The group chat is NOT the reason for the lack of students on the forums. Find another scapegoat.

Mmmmm, the forum is so salty this morning.


I propose we all stop caring what the current students do. As stated, they have zero interest in making a build thread or doing anything worth documenting, so screw it. Besides, if you actually get them on here and participating, the first time you suggest they don't make the same stupid mistake you did, it turns into a teary-eyed pissing match.

At the very least it'll keep Taylor's hair from turning gray before he's 25. :dunno:
