more reasons why i probably won't get tenure

  • i think that people who use the term "intellectual" unselfconsciously are specifically non-thinking people
  • i cannot stand to be lectured or scolded
  • i also cannot stand to be praised
  • i can quickly and accurately identify ass-kissery and bullshittery and i'm sure it shows on my face
  • somehow, i am fond of the people everyone else dislikes (with authoritarian exceptions, of course)
  • my underwear shows over the top of my pants, every single day

hmm... are you saying that louder than usual... or is the larger font an unintended quirk... ?

i have a hard time believing the praise one.

cuz: larger font is unintended, and now i bet it's smaller than usual. shoot. can't figure it out.

dhawhee: well, i spose there's different kinds of praise, and some are more condescending than others, eh?

Fortunately (for some), even if your identification of asskissery and bullshitery shows on your face, your garden variety asskisser and/or bullshitter cannot read. faces, that is.

as opposed to... "nice pants!"
