How stupid is the average slapper?

[chockfullofthat]

I got 144 on this:  http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/world

I also have a piece of paper that says I'm an engineer, however, I once got a 22% on a final and failed the fundamentals of engineering 8 hour test.

starting a masters in optics at a "new ivy" lol

Is optics a physics or materials science degree?

physics, but it's essentially an optical engineering program (what i applied for elsewhere)

[stab]

That's sick, especially coming in with an economics background.  I'm looking at some applied physics grad programs that have optics departments so I thought I'd ask.

MSc Stats.  I'm old as dust

There is something inherently stupid about this entire place. Ergo, coming here is evidence that you are stupid.

i didn't finish high school, i then went to community college and attemped the same class 3 times and failed. i now wash dishes and put labels on things, DDUUUURRRRGGGGHH

You're missing a premise, but the argument goes:

All slap forums are places that are stupid
All places that are stupid are visited by mostly stupid people
All slap forums are visited by mostly stupid people

That way, if you're on slap it's evidence that you're stupid.

[Fake Tits]

When I'm super hungover and alone I like to watch friends re-runs when it's on TV.

I like Joey and Rachel the best.

I think that sums up my brain power.

What I like about Slap is it's a good mix.  Some of the people here who don't have the fancy degrees have smart things to say.  Why don't we keep it at that?

When I am told "fuck off nazi" by a pal for being german, I do see a lack of education/ maturity on this forum.
Especially when the person is officially 23 years old and his e-mail ends with '.edu'.

You're going to fuck up the curve if you come here using Socratic method when we are trying to argue how stupid we all are.

Hopefully this will help steer the ship back on course.  Here is a picture someone took of me recently at friends birthday party...

since you asked, BSc in applied econ from cornell, starting a masters in optics at a "new ivy" lol

Not to put you down, but since you want to advertise your 8th standing Ivy degree on a message board, the AEM program is part of the state funded portion of the university.  You know what I'm talking about.

And no, I didn't go there. 

[Yu Dum]

In all seriousness though I am curious about what pals have a college degree and what the degree is in?

I'm at the University of Memphis studying for my bachelors in Journalism. My focus is news broadcasting. I just started a year ago, so I'm still pretty new to the whole thing.
Also, I'm not the most intelligent person. I've learned to keep my mouth shut lately. Saved me heaps of trouble.

yea that program was a joke, what's your point?

edit: also i like how I'm "advertising" it when i just stated a fact as to where i went, i'd be the first to tell you the whole ivy designation doesn't mean shit, hence me pointing out how silly it is that schools desperately want be in the list of "new ivys"...marketing!

Your use of the term "New Ivy" just put down all the schools on that list, which I haven't seen.  Just so you know, I sent a nice rejection letter to your alma matter to go somewhere else that wasn't the 8th piece of turd in the toilet.   

What the hell is a new Ivy?  You put it in quotes.

I don't believe academic achievements are a great measure of intelligence as many of the brightest people I know have failed or scraped by in educational study. There is a saying a heard not long ago that goes something like "Simple minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas." I think this might sum up Slap somewhat.

Congrats on getting in to your top choice bro, also I feel like it's rare to see someone on here crafting such artful metaphors

I'm in my '30s.  Nobody gives a shit where I went to school.

[the snake]

it's time to realize that Slap is international, not only "american", so fuck off america and respect to the worldwide skate community

i wouldn't say that but probably should've reached the same conclusion

[kook nukem]

I'm studying electrical engineering, but I usually feel kinda stupid.

[Pango]

Despite my pic I do not attend Penn State but I'm currently going to enter my senior year at URI after transferring from Ithaca College and I'm a double major in Secondary Education and History.  Its good to know a lot of other Slappers know or are currently shearing the struggles of being a skater and being a full time student.  It sucks, as most of you would probably know, that being a student or even working (I work in a construction company over the summer) you can not get a lot of skating done on weekdays.  Legit during the school year I pretty much only skate weekends if weather up here is actually decent, but what I'm curious about are how much better are kids who are college age who do not go to school?  There is clearly an advantage I see depending on their job hours.

Yes I have been asked by some of the student I teach in Providence if they could skate with me, so damm awkward

real talk though I selected What!!!?!?! b/c honestly speaking we are constantly learning and that is one thing I love about being a teacher.  You learn even more from the students than most believe.  Also I hate those people who have the smartest person in the room vibe i.e Richie Jackson and usually those people are just compensating for something most likely regarding their ego
