All the courses are cross listed phys and math and I think most of the people doing it are applied math people

but there are phys people working in it at UW

I've seen those scams before

Usually it's preying on desperate CS undergrads, but the lingo here seems to be about the same

Very Indian-coded as well

Hold on wait I think I remember this guy having another retarded scam sounding thing

let me see if I can find it

He has a monthly printer ink subscription

The comparison is that it's like those paid lists you can get yourself out on, that essentially turn into a way to send you glazing correspondence trying to get you involved in random other scams

So this consulting services will give you basic survey-level help, and then push you to spending on their affiliate services

I don't care enough to tell this guy he got scammed, but I am nice enough to give him actual school advice

thus is the duality of man

Yeah, you can't convince someone desperate they are getting scammed

(and tbh it's a lost cause unless you're actually friends with them)

here you go spooky

got him to tell me the service he used

He spent 10k for this

Spooky you will really like this comment chain

Indians who are trying to do higher education but not the scam degree mill kind are so interesting

Thank you for your service containing them to Canada 🫡

This guy is not even the problem kind who flooded into community colleges to just work at timmies instead of actually doing school

this is the kind of guy who will do his 4 year degree here, then try to move to the US

so he is your problem in 4 years

and yeah, I've seen scam services like that, exactly what I expected

Unless trump stays on for his 3rd term as planned

Indian fatigue is so real, I think he's too late ngl

some will always sneak through, but if he's the kind of guy who keeps getting scammed like this

I don't think the odds are that high

me when an Indian discord scam bot joins the server

They won't fucking leave my poor physics club server alone

this is the kind of shit they post

oh i saw that same offer in another server i'm in

lmao

Yeah they are a plague

The indian bot did not respond and I had to ban them

stupid fucking shitniggers

b0b you were the least likely person to post that

I had to do a doubletake

Not really, but I did reread your name

my hatred for the indian runs deep and hot

Who's doesn't

I dont think anybody likes them

not even indians like india they're all trying to leave it

fedex is so incompetent that they failed to deliver a nonexistent package to me in a different country and also don't have their own domain name for automated messages like this

haha, yeah how quirky of them

you should def click on that link btw

the link with an @ in it

my research direction that i have been working on solidifying involves both Legendre polynomials and Lagrange polynomials. There is no way that becomes confusing.

My dyslexic ass had to reread that lol

Reading Asian written book "This disparity can be seen in how humans treat dogs, with some treating them as members of the family, and others treating them as food. No viewpoint is intrinsically right or wrong."

Tried to slip that one in huh....

I think both sides are wrong

Got 3 emails rapidly, two announcing retirement of longtime staff, 2 announcing which people from other departments (sociology and psychology) are coming to replace them. I feel like thats a bad sign and a half lol

both emails said this btw

Yikes. lol

I had my two favorite coworkers move on to National Grid in the past three months, due to problems with the company (I found out they were leaving the week before they did) That and a slightly unfavorable performance review, its amazing how all of a sudden my outlook on this job has changed from something I could do forever to wanting to move on.

My local member of parliament thinks I'm gay. I live with my mother. My brother. His wife and daughter. And I keep getting letters that start off with "dear Mr. and Mr. Canaris"

time to double down

Today’s dollar tree bullshit: I broke up a fight today when a customer attacked the cashier for pretty much no reason

Race check

Cust was Light skinned black, maybe mixed, cashier was light skinned Hispanic (I think)

At least there was no beheading this time

Checks out thank you

Proceed

what sort of police stick does Dollar Tree give you to break up fights?

full on baton? or one of those sorta whip-cane things

are you allowed to byo- improvised weapon? equip some brass knuckles or something

I would not bring brass knuckles for self defense at a dollar store

that crosses the line from self defense to actively trying to harm people

Intimidation purposes

dollar store probably sells costume swords or something. that may work

just do it like taxi driver and have the spring-loaded pistol contraption up your sleeve

most stores would have the manager at a minimum w/ some sort of tool for this exact situation

ik it wouldn't be an actual blackjack (especially in NJ)

but it's funny realizing that Vinny as the manager, is the one it's issued to

Nothing.
