I've got no problems with anybody's kink, but that was the last straw after a long line of sexism, racism, and just plain bad advice.

That's why I'm going for engineering.

If I'm going to blow thousands of dollars on education, I'm at least going to blow it on something that actually NEEDS a crappy backwards brick-and-mortar building to teach effectively. :I

still can't do engineering in my bedroom, too many forms to get rat neurons
Pretty sure computer science is an engineering major, or at least it was for me... In retrospect kind of silly, as the vast majority of physics and maths involved, while vital for any other type of engineering, is totally irrelevant to a programmer. I guess the skills that they teach are kind of useful, but seriously, most of it was just learning for the sake of learning something.

Had to give up on a book (on eroticism) because it tried to convince me that rape is erotic.  You go, book.
Anything that people think is erotic is erotic. There's your lesson.
People are awful, perverted monsters. That's just how the world works sadly.

Look, if they're talking all about how it's super-gross to eat testicles for sexual potency and ohhh, we couldn't possibly do that, that's too gross, and then you feed me the slow, lovingly described leadup to a rape over five pages, I think that's nasty.

And it's a poorly written book, too.  The prose is good, but it winds up being a couple stories, a couple recipes, and "this is aphrodesiac" and "this is not aphrodesiac" for page after page after page after page.

Everyone's into Something, and there's Someone for Everything.

However, semi-consensual sex is actually as common a kink amongst women as ze bottom is amongst men.
Unfortunately.
But just as everyone likes Mcdonalds because it's a little bit seedy, those who've actually found something terrible in their burger will never go back.

So whilst a writer writes erotic fiction about the things which turn them on, I'd imagine rape fantasies aren't exactly your thing.
Best bet is simply to find a different book and never look back.



Anyway, the reason why I'M sad, bad almost-consolatory metaphors aside-

Played some PvP in Rome 2. Pikemen make me sad.

Uni has started again, my mother is still a psychopathic paranoid bitch when it comes to me driving and I am still acutely aware of just how much cash and time I'm wasting learning 'Computer Science'; a subject I am more than capable of learning from the internet for free.

*sigh*

Quite late on this, but anyway: if you feel this way, why not be a mathematician instead, and learn programming on the side? I believe that if you want to be a programmer, it's more important to have some kind of degree rather than a specific one, though I could be wrong. And a math degree can make you pretty adaptable, and even somewhat more desirable than someone with a CS degree.

The time has returned! Time to sign up for AP tests!

I fret over whether I should take the AP Biology test when I have not studied for it at all, worry about AP Calc, and ponder Psychology. X_x

And if you don't, you'll always have... uhm... Canada!

And Scotland!

And Luxembourg!

And [other smallish countries (wait, Canada is small?) unexpectedly represented and espoused on this forum]!

Yup, most of the Sciences, like physics, mathematics, and the like end up in programming jobs anyway.

If you can tell me how to solve Log6(x+4)+log6(x+3)-1=0, you're more likely to ace your calc exam than I am to pass my pre-calc class with a C-.


Also, my arms hurt soooo bad. I pulled muscles all over the place at the gym yesterday ;-;
