I don't fucking care that your kid was able to complete his or her first semester at some Tier-3 school in their liberal arts major with a barely passing GPA when you are providing their education. Contact me when your kid discovers viable nuclear fusion or time travel.

I fucking hate this generation of babies and their parents. The next batch of kids will need someone to wipe their ass.

Exactly. That also pissed me off when an extra game was added to the schedule, but I didn't have T-Dub to vent to before. Incidentally, I found a job/scam where I get paid to blog.

one time after the last t-ball game of the year, they handed out trophies to everyone

well, one guy on my team was named brooks, and the trophy shop made his a girl, boobs, pony tail and all

even at like 8 or something we all laughed at him

he was crying, his parents trying to console him, and he turned around and chucked the trophy over the fence and into the busy street adjacent

lawwwwwlll

fusion is already viable

if it wasnt, we wouldnt be here

what you are looking for is controlled fusion

which we will have once the materials catch up to the controls

wait

are you suggesting that the liberal arts are somehow less valuable?

sure... it MAY be less rigorous because studies are often self-directed and a lot of people are fucking retards but I think you may want to re-evaluate this statement

nobody cares your little brat makes good grades or sucks up to the teacher the most.

The "Baby/Swimmer on Board" stickers suck also.

I actually think the next generation will be better off. All these kids coming up now are raised to be self involved to the point that they will be emotionally withholding from their children so their kids are going to have to fend for themselves and subsequently be better off for it.

You can say the same about every bumper sticker.

Nobody cares which politician you support, stop plastering it all over your car.

Nobody cares where you go on vacation, nor do I care to figure out what those 2-3 letters in the oval stand for.

Nobody cares which religion/scientific theory you follow, so stop plastering those tiny symbols everywhere.

etc

the pyschiatrist told me I should reward myself for minor accomplishments to help boost my self esteem and keep me motivated to build up to bigger goals.

Rewarding yourself is not the same as expecting a reward from others.

I understand their value, but they are only worth the discipline the student puts into it. And most liberal arts majors are lazy, daddy's money, pot-smoking hippies who will proudly serve coffee and pizza until they learn a skill. Then they will manage those who serve coffee and pizza. I can honestly say this as a student in the College of Management and CHASS.

I was raised by German immigrants who never hesitated to administer beatings as a preventative measure against future fuckery on my part. They always told me to stop acting/talking like "a fucking idiot" when I was doing so. They cut off my allowance when I was 12 and told me to cut grass, get a paper route, rake leaves, and shovel driveways if I needed money.

If I got in trouble at school, they'd kick my ass and tell me to not embarrass them, instead of running into the classroom and demanding to know why the teacher was "singling me out."

I think I turned out better than I would have the other way. I'm already an arrogant prick - I don't think telling me how special and unique and amazing I am from birth to adulthood would have been beneficial.

Sounds eerily familiar to how I grew up. My parents never actually paid me an allowance, they just paid me small amounts to do work around the house until I was 12-13 and then I started mowing yards and doing odd jobs for neighbors 'til I got my first real job at 15. I'll probably be very similar as a parent.

Just like me....my parents would spank me randomly sometimes if it had been a while since my last spanking because I "probabaly did something and got away with it anyway"

You were lucky that you got allowance...I was told that I should just be happy that I am giving a nice place to live.

There was only one teacher that I ever had that my parents felt was in the wrong.

lol at pilgrimshoes t ball story

we came in 7th out of 8 teams at a basketball tournament in high school

they had some giant awards ceremony and we all got ribbons, ours were green for 7th

We had some serbian kid on our team who took the game way too seriously for someone who averaged 6 minutes and 2 points

As they officials were putting the ribbons on our necks, he blocks them from putting it on him and looks at the rest of us

"You should feel ashamed of yourselves. You play like horsefuck and still want reward ? "

Then he storms off and eventually withdrew from school like 2 days later

Last I heard he had been court martialed (or their equivalent) from the Serbian Army
