How does one take screenshots in terror from the deep?

Go for a swim in the ocean and invoke Dread Cthulhu's name three times?

Unless you meant the game, in which case I have no idea.

Nevermind.

Do you guys know of an audio hosting site? Something like imgur, but for small sound files. I've got a bunch of .wavs of the results of my messing around with a tracker, mostly riffs, and I'd put them up for critique in Creative Projects, but I don't know how to host 'em.

Vocaroo or Souncloud are my first thoughts, but you could just share Dropbox links.

Perusing the "non-western" humanities course list to register for next semester, I see a number of courses with names like "Asian studies" and "African-American Studies." What are these? The title suggests they are classes on history through a certain lens, but the blurbs are missing for these and the name is ambiguous at best. Google doesn't really produce any results explaining them, just people touting or complaining about them.

...  you probably wouldn't be able to get a decent idea unless you specifically contacted (one of) the teacher(s). In my experience, the content of those sort of classes tend to very much be influenced by whoever's teaching them. If there's not a summary or available syllabus, there's basically no telling what it is. It could be history, could be sociology, could be philosophy, could be... a bunch of stuff. Course number (HIS vs PHI vs SOC, or whatever the normal nomenclature is for your area) might give an idea, there, but your best bet is direct contact with someone involved in the class.

I'm imagining a biology class where you dissect an asian and finally realize that our organs are actually made of plastic.

It's not only made in China, it's made of China?

[hops]

It's the other way around.

Chinese products are made out of dead chinese.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

Also gonna depend on what level the class is.  There's lots of weirdly specific classes within ethnic studies groups.  I had an Arabic Studies class once that was entirely focused on poetry and architecture in Moorish Spain.

Not a real question, but what jobs do you guys do/are studying to do, and what is it about?

I'm thinking of going into computer science, but so far I don't really have a career planned.

[Arx]

Computer scientists are very employable, I know that much.

[Helgoland]

Pretty much that.
I'm studying mathematics, and while I have no idea what kind of job I'll get later on, I know the above holds true for mathematicians as well.

I'm a full-time wage-slave. I work a desk job for a utility company. Actually pays quite well and the works not terrible, although mentioning my job to people is like involving billing etc. complaints. I don't work in billing, don't blame me!
Point is, there are jobs out there that pay decently that you can get with only half a uni degree, although it's far from my dream job, it's better than Walmart!
