...My parents didn't have to give me that "invitation". :-) 1961 or 1962 edition World Book.

1982, in my case. And invitations were rarely necessary in my case: I was one of those weirdos who would grab one at random and start reading just to fill time on a slow day.

Sounds like a class full of future barista's not STEM majors . ::)

Unless to satisfy a graduation requirement, her arts course sounds like something few STEM majors would willingly take. I've worked in "T" for mumble mumble decades. 19th Century English Lit would have been more to my taste.

Reminds me of being an inquisitive child and asking my parents or grandparents a question about a word or fact? They'd immediately say "the dictionary is over on the shelf, so is the encyclopedia, so why don't you learn"?

A product of liberal controlled education.

Very likely. Along with that, if this college student is a recent high school grad, their middle school or junior high years were video-school-at-home, courtesy of Covid and the teachers unions.

Video: Attack at San Jose’s Santana Row investigated as possible hate crime

https://www.ktvu.com/news/santana-row-attack-possible-hate-crime

Ummmmm ... how many here could distinguish Hebrew from Polish or Kazakh or random language? That the attackers recognized the language evidences the attackers' likely ME origins.

Arrests made:

Attorney among 3 charged in Santana Row attack outside restaurant

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Prosecutors have charged three suspects in a daytime attack outside a busy Santana Row restaurant, including one man who is an attorney.

The Akoyans family name may be Armenian, a poeople group that lives in the Caspian Sea area in and near Iran.

I supposed that it is possibly that what Coventina presented were so distorted or abstract that the student didn't recognize the examples as human. Or maybe the examples were visibly obviously male or female, and the student was afraid of the consequences of pointing out those facts.

It's more likely, sadly, that the college student is lazy, unmotivated, and nearly illiterate (i.e. (s)he thought Fun With Dick and Jane was a porno with Spot and Puff doing bestiality).

The DUmpster / Re: Did Israel actually tricked Trump into war with Iran?
« Last post by SVPete on March 17, 2026, 07:47:58 AM »
The DUchebags always conveniently forget to mention that this "war" was started by Iran way back in November of 1979 with the storming of the US Embassy in Tehran and holding of American hostages for 444 days. President Trump is just doing what Presidents before him never had the balls to do to finish what Iran started.

I'll bet there are at least some MSM folk who blame whichever outlet did the nightly Day ### broadcasts for Reagan beating Carter.

Ignoring historical context has been one of the US MSM's SOPs for their misreporting of the campaign against Iran. Chicken-Littling Iran's empty and exaggerated threats is another.

I think he may be embarrassed by all the pro-Iranian propaganda that's been posted in the last couple of weeks.  Since hostilities started, I've seen DUmmies repost claims that every US military base in the Middle East has been decimated, that the Abe Lincoln was either severally damaged or sunk, that the US or Israel was focusing on destroying civilian infrastructure, that US soldiers were captured by Iran and being held as POW's and that US casualties were enormous and being covered up.  My favorite was a video that came from some Chinese source that claimed Iran was holding back all their best weapons for some big counterstrike.  And they keep bringing up the hypothetical hypersonic weapons (capable of Mach 14!!!!) that Iran claims to have even though there is no evidence that these weapons actually exist.  ...

DUmmies have been buying and posting that absurd nonsense? :rotf: :mental:

I've been seeing all the absurdities you listed on FB. My favorite absurdity so far was the video showing the sinking of the frigate Dena by the torpedo hitting her several feet above the waterline. I think there are at least some DUmmies who know that torpedoes do not work that way.

ETA: Just saw an AI vid on FB claiming the Lincoln is afire in the Dead Sea. :rotf:
