A classmate’s contribution about the nature of friendship.
Sitting in class today and discussing the types of friendships. It’s based off of book 9 of Nicomachean Ethics.
Types of friendships:
1. Instrumental (useful)
2. Loved for itself (pleasant)
3. Both. Complete friendship.
...And a classmate out of nowhere brought up befriending strippers. And how with strippers, it’s only possible to have the first type of friendship. #2 and #3 are only possible if one gets married to a stripper.
...Do I want to recruit another troll to this board? Except I’m not interested in befriending this person, lmao.

This isn’t the first time he’s said total nonsense in class lmao.
Ever hit electronics items hard until they start to work correctly again? This is how men are as well. I think they call it percussive maintenance or some shit like that
We should not though be trying to limit who can be posting on this forum.
Interesting that he talks about strippers in the college class.
I also feel that some, like non-stripper women, could object to that kind of a characterization.

The teacher was right to figuratively call him an idiot.
I think people would get pissed.

What would be weird about that?
I think the instructor *tries* to lead good discussions. But the people who tend to speak up the most are not exactly insightful contributors.
I swear, people in upper level political science classes (that I’ve observed so far), fall into either being really smart and articulate (whether or not I agree with them) or being the exact opposite. The difference is even more stark than business students.
1) I was behind on the readings for that day.
2) I was texting someone at the time.
Too bad Nicole doesn’t like me anymore. I wonder if she would think he was cute.
The thing about participation is that it can be the difference in a grade. If a professor sees a student at the end of the semester with an 89.5%, but the student didn't participate the prof barely remembers that student, than that student will most likely end up with a B+ that was a midterm question away from an A-. But if the prof sees the 89.5% and remembers that the student was very active in participation, well, that student might just get that A- instead of the B+.
Challenge accepted. Made an 89%.
I hated everything that didn't pertain to my major, and even once I graduated basically nothing that pertained to my major was useful in real life. So basically a lot of money for a piece of paper that says I'm better than someone that doesn't have a piece of paper. Oh well, I say it made me the man I am today, that's what I tell myself every once in a while.
In class today, another dudebro (different guy than mr stripper friend) wanted to rant about how having a proper one-on-one debate (about any subject) was impossible these days. People are too emotional and care about coming to a consensus rather than a true back-and-forth.
The reason? Because of the #Metoo movement.
I need to get back to not listening to wtf other people are saying.
I took women's studies class for fun and the professor was really cool... she even offered us extra credit for going and getting tested, or getting pap smears, etc. She wouldn't look at our actual results lol, but if we showed her proof that we went she would give us a one-time extra credit. I thought that was kind of cool, it related to the curriculum and encouraged people to keep up with their reproductive health. Win/win
