      I spent most of Intro to Theatre screwing around on the internet, which may explain why I got an F in that class (that, and I didn’t have the book).

      I came up with my best edits to TV Tropes while in Psych 101.

      Now I take school more seriously and actually take notes, which are filled with explicit language, colored font, and random side notes.

      Meh I suck so hard at taking notes (I have a form of slight dyslexia when I was tested for this summer, nothing overly major but yeah, just the odd thing here and there and basically I suck in handwriting), so concentrating on taking too many notes would mean I’d probably not be able to get what was being said AS I was taking notes and get lost.

      (Really Ms/Mr. Lecturer, it’s because I want to concentrate on what you say… really! No! No! Put down the tazer! Please! Have mercy!…)

      So I don’t take as many and I just take a dictaphone. Granted while I’m in a taught masters, I only have about 7 hours of lectures a week. We’re supposed to know a lot of this stuff by now, just refreshing our memory on a few things plus seminars from people on whatever the hell they’re researching or have researched (oh the fascinating world of seaweed!). But I still drift off a little there sometimes thinking of story ideas. While some biological knowledge is kind of a given, sometimes they act ike everyone is a dead on expert in their specific field.

    HAHAHA! AWESOME!

    …but I side with Sarah only because my roomies drive me nuts with their non-nonchalant attitude towards school (no, I’m not a school nazi, but when finals and midterm week roll around I don’t like being woken up at 1 AM in the morning because they’re calling me, beginning me to open the door because they always forget the keys to the room.)

    I hate people like that. Yes, university is for higher education, BUT it is also for learning more than just textbook knowledge. It’s also that time when you’re supposed to be experiencing life to the fullest, not just sitting at home looking at books all day.

    One wonders how Dorothy wound up with a boyfriend with that attitude. What, did he follow her home freshman year of high school and make her feel obligated to keep him?

        Interestingly enough, that’s kind of how I met my college boyfriend, he followed me around. Since then, I’ve discovered that mace (either the pepper spray or the medieval weapon) is much more effective in dealing with that problem.

        Actually, David’s more like Joyce than Walky. Though of course he’s a little like Walky. Anyway, we have discussions at length about how he’s Joyce and I’m Walky. Though the superpowers apply either way, I guess.

        The “It’s Walky” website has a search engine. Click the “Search” button on the top-right part of the screen in-between “Limited Prints” and “Giftart”. Under query text, type: “like little girls”. Then, bingo!
        http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040705.html
        “There are things outside that are meaner and stronger than you. Like little girls.”

        And there you have it. Probably, it’s more effort than one might want for a quick little gag, but whatever. It’s there if you want it.

      You know a part of me wonders if Mike not being as assholish is because he was never abducted and he’s not trying to fool anyone nor is he biding his time at all. That he won’t be the same level of assholism we see on sp! or something

      OR THAT’S JUST WHAT HE WANTS ME TO THINK.

    OK, wow. This is the first time a Willis punchline has made me actually laugh out loud in a long time. Nothing against him though – I almost never laugh out loud at any webcomic ever, excluding Hark! A Vagrant and Bob the Angry Flower. So the fact that he made me laugh at all is, to me, an indication that I am definitely going to enjoy the direction this comic is going.

    Also I wonder who the TA is…

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
