IRC destroys and helps homework

[Leo]

You know, when there was one of me, I thought it was funny. Now that there are three of me(okay, two plus gangs), trolling Mia has lost its luster.

So, Mia, would you like to go grab a cup of coffee and talk about something boring like stock prices and mutual funds?

[Arsenal 10]

Ugh, our communication paper was so boring. Seriously. It was painful.

Yeah, that's the reason I don't like finance; the analysis of the market is boring as hell.

Macro is also lame because it's assumptions and simplifications of their models and the mathematical links between these models is so tedious, I find that I can't believe it to be true. Sure, it may do some useful predictions sometimes, but a lot of the time it's just useless. The world isn't that simple.

I like micro (well, I guess more managerial economics now that I think about it) because of the practical applications it has. Pricing strategy, game theory, optimisation etc all have ways that you can actually use the skills in a real way. When I'm out in a job, I can see how these skills will (hopefully) set me apart fromt the rest.

[Mia]

I liked the graphs I will admit, the demand and supply makes sense to me. Rather simple.

I love communication classes. I love figuring people out, I love giving a speech. It is just easy to me. I can stand up and give a speech on  the spot as long as I know the material. I have found speaking classes/communication easy peasy. It is just logical sense to me. Though accounting is logical sense too mathematically at least.

you know, if you guys don't exercise any self control on your trolling, you may force ppl to make rules about it. we just had a huge CockPony over someone burritos with much less justification, without making it clear what offends them beforehand; now this person has asked you to stop. show some maturity.

How rude, to bring up srs bzns. Are you intentionally trying to hurt my feelings? Don't answer that...

Besides, GS, I and leo were more directing that at each other than at mia... but yes, you're right anyway so ill stop.


And what is WRONG with you people... when i was studying marine engineering and control systems, i had to take a compulsory buisness ethics course... also related economics courses... (yeah...i did EVERYTHING).
Worst time of my life in coll! Mostly the ethics... The eco i could handle, it was in essence mathematics after all.
I guess it takes a certain type of mind set to be good at monees. An old people kind of mind set.
I was referring to arse as an old person. When a girl talks business, its just hot.

I did study micro eco for a bit, if more out of self interest than anything esle, Macro economics is what we had, what we needed...>_>
I found micro economics far more interesting than macro, its a lot more factual than macro...macro economics seems so...theoretical.

Market research in itself has always failed to pique my interest, can't blame me, i just like water, but individual market research was at least more interesting than looking at the bigger picture all the time.
I agree with arse about the practicality of micro...or managerial eco.
Being able to quantify individual needs and economic behaviour is hella interesting if you're into eco. Though then again, you have stuff like opportunity costs and shit that you CANT quantify...
Economics eatzes your brainz.

That's my impromptu slice on the pseudo-on-topic discussion.
[/attempt at redemption]
Bai bai old people, ill be back to read the semi interesting replies.

I resent this, im more like you than other's when i go a-trollin.







Why am i trying to boast about that? Wtf is wrong with me?

[Mia]

I had to take a social problems class (required for all business students). General education for my university requires a racial issues class too. For me, that includes an old African American dude who didn't even want to teach the class and didn't listen to students. Somehow I managed to end up with an A- in the class despite not understanding half the time what he wanted us to actually do.

[Leo]

No gangs, GS is the only person I have ever met who can do a good impression of me, and he does it so well that I could probly let him use my account for a week and no one would notice.


Back to school stuffs, I have this Spanish paper that I really need to finish tonight but of which I have only done some planning for...in English. Gonna be a long night, and then I need to study for my 3 finals tomorrow + pack my bags for my flight on Friday.

[Arsenal 10]

Haha yeah, supply and demand is good stuff. I had to do an ethics paper too. The lecturer was awesome though so it was a good paper.

Oh, and I got a job a few days ago at the university. Yay! I'll be a tutor all of next year in first or second year economics paper.

Can you speak/write fluent Spanish, Leo?

Come on - Mia is a good sport about this, and some of us obviously need the outlet that only Mia can provide.  Mia, would you consider starting a racy thread, and we can concentrate out wit-substitute there?  You would have to make an appearance from time to time, but if you did, I would stop trolling your other posts.  This seems like a fair compromise, neh?

Otherwise, realistically, this will erupt again regularly, since there is no rule about it, and if there was, we would play the margins.  Because that's what we are - risk takers.  lol.  BTW when I leer like this in real life, women swoon.

[Leo]

Arse, I can speak it fairly well, but my writing leaves a little to be desired. Usually, I tell people that I'm at a conversational level since I can talk to natives but it's obvious that I'm not completely fluent. This paper, however, is a 5-ish page research paper that has to be completely in Spanish, and I need to get it done now so that I can start studying for my other finals.

And Mia, fair warning, I'm not sure if a dedicated topic would be enough to keep me in check. As you know by this point, Leo jumps at anything first and asks questions later.

You're just saying that because he's white!

@arse
We had to study MACRO supply and demand for a while...it was...convoluted...

[Leo]

But what would his whiteness have to do with anything? Mia's white and I obviously don't treat her better than anyone else.

Dont you get me started on Mia! All day, its mia this and mia that, she gets ALL your attention. You heartless philandering basterd!

[Leo]

You're just jellin'.

[Buck Turgidson]

I am not white.  I am a rainbow.  And I ride a pony.  My pony's name is Mia.

[Leo]

See what I fucking mean. This guy is better than even young me could have ever dreamed to be.

Maybe I'm too old for this routine; maybe it's time for me to pack up and head out on a journey without myself.

[Buck Turgidson]

Leo, flattery will get you everywhere.  Except in Mia's pants.

[Mia]

I am not starting a topic because you're immature idiots who cannot control yourself. I simply will not indulge you any longer. Keep it up and I'll just add you to my ignore list.

In regards to Arsenal, I enjoyed the graphs actually since I understand the factors that shift the curves either right or left or along the curves. Usually was on our test.

And bleh tests. I haven't had any papers this semester but that is what I am best at. I have math and accounting exams soon. Going to die this week. But hey, if I am still around Saturday, I'll go celebrate.

I can control myself, sometimes, on occasion, under a blue moon in September, when the house of Akaroth is bright with the shining of two stars.

Now stop trying to sound smart, you're in the RIA and we don't take kindly to smart people.

Yeah, don't be so black and white - I controlled myself once, too!
