Yeah most Psych majors I've met have always had something seriously off about them.

Much in the same way if they had a humor major, only the most unfunniest people on the planet would take it.

You mean you haven't been to Evergreen?

Took a psych course as a non-lab science in college. Can confirm, there was a ton of "physician, heal thyself" going on among the student body.

The course was "Sensation & Perception," which ain't as sexy as it sounds, and it's been more infuriating to know the stuff I learned than satisfying. It was mostly a "how our brains fuck stuff up that we see and nearly everything we see is wrong" class.

F'rinstance, there's "The Moon Illusion." Even after you explain the whole thing to people, some will still swear up and down that the moon IS bigger when its near the horizon when it's just a trick our stupid brains play on us. I should never have learned it. I'd be a lot happier.

Psych majors want to get a degree so that they can figure out what's wrong with themselves. Or, worse yet, EVERYONE ELSE (because they are the only person who isn't crazy).

not to mention prescribe their own drugs. One for you, two for me...

It actually makes me wary of the whole "go back to school" thing: for me anyway I took classes, worked and had to go to the one place to write my papers that was open and had the internet, which was a 24 hour adult store my friend worked at. Floppys were going the way of the dodo and CDRs were still like .75 cents a piece. Plus who wants to ostensibly waste a whole CD with one 20 page paper? So I just emailed my papers to myself, under the .edu address. After I graduated I was happy and didn't think to move them and someone stole my laptop, which was pretty much crapping out anyway which is probably why it was sitting on a curb with a half cracked screen. Anyway I didn't think about those papers for almost ten years and they were as gone as my .edu address. I did my best to shrug it off, like I didn't waste all of my money and time and most of my employers (potential and actual) understand that but it's hard to explain the feeling of loss. Now a syllabus is online. The WORST CLASS I took was an online one. It's probably easier now because more people have these but they expected you to "attend" a discussion that never worked, and also I was at fucking work. If I had to think about what I would ask for for my birthday it'd probably be a new Micron pen and a Philip Roth's worth of cocktail napkins.

heueheheheheh

You want to lock her in a room for 3 hours while she fills out a tedious multiple-choice question that is scored based on outdated social norms and leading questions?

That's a seriously tortured euphemism, but yes.

I think you can also play osu! on the screen.

It's been possible for close to a decade now. I took notes on a convertable tablet laptop 5 years ago, and it didn't cost a fortune to buy.

I just happened to come across a bunch of articles written by interns on various sites. Paying people for work is so 20th century.

Aopparently, to a millennial, online shopping and and studying at the same time equals "balance in my life".

I mean, I know your video-editing software isn't so good, but this shouldn't be too rough.

They're already regretting closing XBox Studios.

The sad thing is that this clearly IS edited, as you can tell by the bits where you hear her briefly talking over herself.

It took a few takes to get just the right amount of spergy awkwardness.

This seems to be the thing. I don't really watch much TV but I see those apple commercials with the montage; it's very.. "Mac." Not a good or bad thing but it's kind of like when Volkswagon introduced the world to Spiritualized with that Ladies and Gentlemen We're Floating in Space commercial. I liked 'em since Spacemen3 and anyway I was like "oh shit, here comes a new style of marketing..." It's good for the band and great for the product but having an iPhone isn't going to transform you into a Supermom..

Those commercials for ITT Tech, Devry, etc. have a very "real" feel to them: "I was just like you, watching Amazing World of Gumball at 10 in the morning paying 100 dollars a month to live on a couch with a curtain wondering where my philosophy major got me.." not that that's like me or anything.. so I enjoy the honesty of something where "not an actor" means just that. I think after the whole "I'm a mac/PC" thing Microsoft had to go in the opposite direction marketing wise.

oh my god. exactly. thank you.

Finally!

Can you put linux on one of these things?

I'm sure you can but I doubt it'd work. I had a bitch of a time setting up my dual monitor from my laptop on Ubuntu as it was.

If God had intended us to use Linux, He wouldn't have given us Windows.

I'm sure you can. I'm all about legacy hardware, so it'll be a while before I get my chance

Hmmm Keyboard doesn't work? Okay, never mind.

There's cheaper ways of getting a tablet PC with Linux on it, especially if you're willing to go the ARM route.
