Aljazeera is biased. They never talk about what's happening in Qatar when the Prince dethrone his father. I doubt their Agenda.

Annual Gargantuan Feet & Chin conference? What are you presenting?

That sounds like fun. But no. It was on Petrarch and his influence on Renaissance poetry. It wasn't too bad, but I have a tendency to talk too quickly.

I mistrust things that start with a capital letter for no apparent reason.

It's the swag morning digest.

Every news agency is biased in some way or other.

But Al Jazeera isn't nearly the mouthpiece of Al Qaeda as many Americans make it out to be. And I would also support Fred's assessment that they aren't anti-American as much as they are more pro-Arab world. But as you point out, there's some selective ideas of what "pro-Arab" means.

Congrats.

The awesome thing about old literature and history is that dead people cannot refute your claims.

No, it was only within my class. There are about six of us, plus the prof.

Thanks! The bad thing about it is that people have had a long time to think about it, and you can't read all of their thoughts throughout your career, let alone for a presentation.

Good point. That sounds worse than studying law.

"Apparently, you should have been aware of Bobby Table's paper from 1782 on this topic..."

Gonna have a shift change from next month. Gonna start working 4 hours earlier, so 2-11pm.

I both love and hate people like that, especially the articles that keep saying "Obviously you will have noticed..."

Academia is an endogenous cycle of pointlessness and 20/20 hindsight

And a whole hell of a lot of fun. For me, anyway.

Good move, IMO.

Exactly.

You should get into golf, it's sort of like Academia, with sticks.

No, I hate golf.

 

[IrishZebra]

Now you do, soon you will love it.

Golf sucks. It's for elitist assholes who like to have an expensive past-time while they watch the world burn while stealing all the money from the middle class! :groan:

Are you suggesting that golf competitors lower their career ambitions to fighting each other over who gets more caddies and the better parking lot spot?
