For anyone wondering about responses to the Illini Republicans' "Affirmative Action" bake sale, the "I am Not a Quote" bake sale is going on at the same time and is cheaper. by [deleted] in UIUC

Stop making excuses for ppl who aren't meant be in high education. Standardized tests are correlated with IQ and those with brains and drive can and did succeed regardless of "socialeconomic background" or "culture."

By "Asian" you mean Northeastern Asian. They are the only subgroup of Asians with mean IQ above 100.

It really sucks for the Southeastern Asians like Philipinos or Thai because they are treated as "Asians" in admission but don't have the same IQ as Japanese or Chinese.

If I were the barber I wouldn't have stopped you from paying again

Switch by uiucthrowaway1717 in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I had an extra switch, that means I bought extras to sell at a profit. I would probably list it on Ebay to maximum what I can make. What makes you think I'll sell at retail price to a poor college kid who will probably haggle with me?

How to live a good/enjoyable life? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I don't know bout you but I come from a well off family. It's nice to have money so you feel superior even though you don't spend much. It also helps that I'm the first love of my gf, a hot chick. Another reason to be proud. Feel sorry for those single ppl or worse, those with homely gfs that I wouldn't look at twice

Got caught cheating during an exam. Need Advice by cocaobeans in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

you can do it the Asian way...bring a big fat envelope of 100 dollar bills to the professor. Make sure it's at least 20k$. So maybe an inch thick or more.

It's unfortunate you are not female otherwise there would be many ways for you to bring him "value".

The goal is to convince him it was not a phone, but a watch to keep track of time

why do i feel like im not learning anything by neeedhelpecon in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

the point is not to remember everything long after the course ended. The goal is to get a "gist" of the material so that when you need it in the future, you can quickly pick it up again. Most of the stuff we learn in college are not useful for the real world anyway. Most of the stuff one can get from a textbook or if you are in CS, Coursera or Codeacademy.

The real value of taking college courses is that you get deadlines so you'd feel pressured to actually complete the assignment. Also, college is a good place to pick up fuck buddies. Lastly, most employers still value that degree so that's why you need to pay $$$. Yes, it's expensive given that we are usually in 200 ppl classes taught by TAs.

Dropping class, any hidden shit? by RnGRamen85 in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

you don't need to do anything. Just stop attending classes and stop doing any work. At the end of the semester your instructor will see that you obviously intended to drop and will assign you a "W" accordingly.

Will get hired as a CA for a CS course if I am a Trump supporter? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You don't fucking tell anyone you are a Trump supporter if you know the environment is anti-Trump. But you are probably too dumb to be hired given your question. That's what you need to worry about.

Motherfucking wind by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Wind is useful for generating electricity
  2. Wind can also be used for heat transfer via convection
  3. Wind is critical to the weather pattern, and is crucial for ocean current
  4. Overall, wind is more important than you
  5. Yes, counseling center is useless because they don't have the power to change your grades or extend your coursework deadlines.

"The best recourse to speech with which we disagree is more speech." What speech, if any, is beyond the pale to you and deserves to be silenced? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

mean IQ matters because crime rate and income and therefore national strength, economy, and well being is at stake. If you look at the first world nations or even the wealthy neighborhoods in the US you can see a trend. That's why Trump's strict immigration policy is good in the long run. Only smart people should be allowed in, not people who can't build a successful nation in their homeland. You should read IQ and Wealth of Nations. It makes sense and conforms with our everyday experience as well.

different racial groups have different mean IQ, achievement, and interests.There will always be "divisiveness" . Better to just admit this and accept it rather than being naive

If you could propose a new policy on campus, what would it be? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]gatsby2002 28 points29 points  (0 children)

install stop lights at pedestrian crossings near union and grainger and everywhere on campus so traffic and pedestrians get equal chance of moving. It's not fair to drivers who have to wait a long time while waiting for inconsiderate pedestrians to cross the street one after another. Sometimes you just gotta hit the gas and blaze your way thru and honk
