They see you when you're sleeping. They know when you're awake.
Wow, calling the FBI.
I do not know how Santa got away with it for so long either.

« on: February 06, 2016, 04:58:50 PM »
I am watching two series currently: Criminal Minds (Season 7) and the original Law & Order (Season 3)

And I watched the second 300 movie this evening for the sole purpose of seeing that one actresses breasts.

I check on her to see if she's asleep in my brother's room since he's not home. She's not sleeping on the bed like she does sometimes. Nope, she's sleeping on a pile of dirty clothes in the corner.

Like.....why?
What Kal said is correct.

Hey there Deci. Something kind of similar happened to me with fireworks. I also ran down the stairs in my old place pantsless, but carrying an energy sword replica when I thought someone broke into the main part of the house. Turns out, my friend had just gotten home from the bar (it was about 02:30), and she had knocked over the Christmas tree while drunk. I found her lying in a in a mess of tree needles and ornaments, so I left her there and went back to sleep.

You left her in front of broken ornaments and tree needles? Why didn't you help her up at the very least?
Have you ever tried to lift/help out a blacked out slightly over-weight woman? It is no easy feat.

Cool, good luck to both of you.

Is the Dutch you guys speak the same as in the Netherlands? Or do you guys have different words and accents?
The Dutch spoken in Belgium is called Flemish, and it is spoken in Flanders. There are some sub-dialects as well. Although the words between the two are nearly identical, the pronunciation can be quite different. The Flemish dialect has more of a French influence, whereas traditional Dutch tends to have harsher pronunciation with a distinct similarity to German.

I feel bad for anyone who feels the need to perform studies in supplement to demonstrations delivered in lecture halls.
It's not even funny how hard you would fail if you'd try to pull that over here.
You must have some really shitty instructors then.
My instructors are some of the best there are. I'm just at the part of my education where simply attending class is never enough and the professors stick to the necessities and most difficult portions in class.
Sounds like denial to me.

If they're so talented, how come they're not educating in a country with more prestigious institutions?

I might not pity you so much if you said those materials were for a research project, but seeing as they were just for a summerical exam, I'm inclined to say that your instructors are failing you.
As an American student getting their Masters at a European university, I can assure you that the expectations for students at tertiary education institutions is quite higher than a lot of American universities. Outside of the very top universities in the U.S, there is a lot of hand holding, second chances and easy A's. That does not exist at my institution.

The students in my program are the top students from their previous universities, so to be exceptional out of a group of students who are already considered exceptional is quite a feat. Erasmus students are even held to lower standards because of the level of difficulty in the program. They are not used to having to study and keep on top of the materials. Nor are they used to the entire outcome of their grade dependent on one exam that tests them on everything covered throughout the semester.

It is very difficult to understand without experiencing it directly, but I can assure you that it is quite different and more difficult than the average American university. It has nothing to do with the competence of the professors, but rather that self-study and making connections in the material is expected of the students. The complexity of the material makes it impossible to cover everything class, so students are expected to be responsible and diligent. If they are not, then they really do not deserve a degree.
Hey now, this is not how you play "Tell the europoor they're inferior."

I legitimately have not attended college in thirteen years, as I said previously, and therefore am only busting his balls because he's subamerican.
Please bust his balls no longer. He may need them someday.

Serious / Re: Political compass test (superior version)
« on: December 24, 2015, 08:47:24 AM »
The problem I have with these kinds of tests is that my support for ideas depend significantly on their implementation
I agree with this. Although the results are what I expected, the questions are too general and I find them difficult to answer. For example, I am highly likely to support civilian conflict resolutions as opposed to military ones depending on the circumstances. I also view government responsibility from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective. In terms of third country engagement, my feelings are even more diverse because I believe immaterial factors are incredibly important to the development of strategic partnerships and foreign policy in general.
