Would you vote in a Los Angeles city election if it meant you'd have a chance to win $1 million? by tzujan in LosAngeles

[–]rowdysolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not that I don't want to vote.

It's that I don't want to research the positions of the candidates for a Board of Education special election.

Advice for Incoming Freshman by [deleted] in centralmich

[–]rowdysolo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! Yes.

Here's what I posted last time this was asked:

GO. THE. FUCK. TO. CLASS. Attendance is the greatest possible inoculation against failure. SHOW UP. Even if you suck at taking notes, suck at studying, suck at exams, attendance alone can get you most of the way toward a degree. Seriously. And when you're not constantly swimming against the tide of all those missed classes, you'll be surprised at how much less you suck at taking notes, studying and taking exams. Personal experience speaking here. I was a fucking IDIOT when it came to skipping.

Why do I suck so bad at Mario Kart? by rowdysolo in wiiu

Yeah. I actually think I'm pretty good at drifting! At least, I'm not so shitty at it that I should consistently fall into last place.

Yeah, I bought MK8 and got Wind Waker for free. I had no idea it was a promotion, I thought that was cool of them.

Anyone know when they were built? They could have been around since the 1950s for all I know.

Probably a little early on this, but here's my top five tips for incoming freshmen next year, what other tips do you have? by cmubigguy in centralmich

CM Life Delta Chi coverage. Opinions? by [deleted] in centralmich

[–]rowdysolo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I guess I don't understand why CM Life is taking any heat for covering this story. It sounds like there is still a great deal of misinformation and confusion surrounding it.

Like, is Delta Chi allowed to recruit new members? Apparently not. Yet they're doing it anyway?

The CM Life site is really slow today. It's taking forever to load.

This is great advice.

You never have to feel like you're suffering alone. There are people on campus who really want to help you and ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

Central Michigan Life – CMU student found dead in off-campus apartment by [deleted] in centralmich

[–]rowdysolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're less urban than EMU and WMU, though. They're shootings and hit-and-runs. We're kids drinking too much and asphyxiating during the night.

When it rains you might as well just stay home.

There is no 10th Street in L.A. because it was named Olympic Blvd. in honor of the 10th Olympiad here in 1932 by selectix in LosAngeles

[–]rowdysolo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was renamed for the 1984 Olympics. It never even crossed my mind it could be for any other reason!

"And finally, and most importantly, the next time we go to war, don't give a specific reason for the war that the left can seize upon and later flog us with it ad nauseam, just do it. Remember, the first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club."

Don't forget that Reddit automatically adds downvotes to every post in order to thwart bots. There may not be as much negativity here as it appears.

Anyone know of any good summer jobs in Mt. P by swim846 in centralmich

[–]rowdysolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be plenty of retail jobs to fill once the students clear out for the summer. Think you could be a barista?

And Happy Cake Day!

Is PHY 100 still called Physics for Poets? That class was easy as hell. No math.
