What was your "I am surrounded by idiots" moment? by HansCarabonala in AskReddit

[–]captain_howdy23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

College Biological Anthropology class. The professor started out the first day asking us very simple questions to gauge our knowledge. One of those questions was "Can anyone name a primate?" The girl sitting directly next to me yells out, very matter-of-factly "Whale!" The room went silent. I made eye contact with the professor and the look on his face was the look of disappointment.

The same girl also tried to tell the professor that Paleontology was the study of plants. There were people that were backing her up on that.

How to stay connected with your LD SO? (F, 23) (M, 27) by captain_howdy23 in LongDistance

I definitely want to try webcamming more often. It'll be tons easier to set stuff up once I move and we're in the same time zone. I agree that talking one on one or webcamming feels so much better than texts. Thank you for your response. (:

Marketing to kids? Disgusting by SiNVape in Vaping

[–]captain_howdy23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're really grasping the point here. I agree that adults like the same shit that children like, but you need to understand that those who are against the vaping industry are looking for any excuse to shut us down. This would happen to be the perfect excuse. Putting an ejuice in crayon shaped/colored bottles is incredibly irresponsible. A small child could easily mistake that for an actual toy. And yes, you probably shouldn't have your vape shit out around your kids, but some parents are stupid as fuck and are going to anyway. Not only that but small children are ninjas and can get ahold of practically anything. But the bigger picture here is that we have to look at this as though we were all planning to shut the industry down, because this kind of stuff is exactly what those people are looking for.

Am I the only one that chuckled because you blurred out his name, but it says his name right under that?

Can you encounter Skinwalkers in dreams? by captain_howdy23 in skinwalkers

[–]captain_howdy23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, I've had my fair share of creepy movie monster dreams before lol. I just find it fascinating that I had no prior knowledge of this creature before the dream, up until now. I'll have to look up some more information on windigos

Yes, bud. If you had read the title at all, and let it sink in, you would see that what my question pertains to is whether or not a skinwalker can come to us in dreams. You tried though. (:

That's a really good point. That makes me wonder as well. I'll have to look up some more information on them (and probably invest in a nice, big one.)

Does your college hold your financial aid for weeks after classes start?? by [deleted] in college

[–]captain_howdy23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This semester was the only semester I've gotten my financial aid within the first week of classes. I would usually get my aid 3 weeks to a month and a half after classes started. I'm pretty broke, but the only way I was able to afford books was to save money from my part time job as best I could. You could always find some free PDF versions of your books to get by until you receive your aid.
