  • As someone who did go to engineering school, I did not read funkless_eck’s comment as denigrating artists, in any way. I read it as denigrating the unrealistic requests made by art-illiterate clients.

    Both their and Captain Aggrevated’s comments where about the unrealistic stresses put on their professions by the subject-illiterate colleagues/clients. They’re highlighting the pain, which is cathartic but not how a real class would work; however, I didn’t assume they’re in here seriously proposing new pedagogy. This is the internet.

    Humanities and Shop classes that teach the basics of other professions show that even the basics are more complex than an outsider would assume. So, yeah, engineers should round out their curriculum so they don’t become jag-offs that expect unrealistic expectations.

    I don’t know what class you missed though, because you took a joke aimed at those dismissing your profession and chose to internalize it instead. Talk about playing to type; the self-obssessed artiste. If you’re an artist, hold the standard higher, please.









  • As someone whose employer used SVB at the time, that intervention to provide stability directly affected me. Sorry it’s not a black and white scenario.

    I didn’t track that you were advocating for a Democrat fed chair. I’m fine with that and would prefer it, though I do think The Fed is one of the last examples where partisanship is held mostly at bay. Wonks gonna wonk, as it should be. Yellen was the reason I started paying attention to The Fed in the first place.

    Lovely pun of a name, BTW. My vegetarian fam showed me how good seitan could be.
