I've never been late for a philosophy class once because if I ever was a few minutes late I would form a relativist argument in which arriving on time at an incredibly specific time is absolutist and represents the thought patterns of a sophist more so than a philosopher.

@northernnarwhal this comic made me think of you tbh http://www.twogag.com/

@northernnarwhal Considering it's TGAG I was actually impressed
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:28:32 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I can't say I'm familiar with that one. Though I really don't follow or read a lot of webcomics to begin with.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:29:15 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I'm pretty big on them

@northernnarwhal Lackadaisy is the most enthralling webcomic on the Internet. The art style is heavenly.

@northernnarwhal Oh, I liked Super Effective! but only casually, really. I enjoyed the art style but some of the jokes were uninspired, I felt.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:33:15 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Maybe I really love the main comic because I've been following it for a few years now so the nostalgia is very much there. I think his art has only gotten better over time too.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:36:46 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal The actual VG Cats I didn't look much into. Video game jokes are often lost on me
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:37:50 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I got into it back when I was more into gaming and these days I just follow it because I still just like his style.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:39:28 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Fair. I love style
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:39:53 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I actually own physical copies of VG Cats and Super Effective http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/816535

@northernnarwhal That's pretty sweet. I dunno how familiar you are with XKCD but I've bought Randall Munroe's book and I need to get back to reading it.

@northernnarwhal Yeah he is. The comic itself usually is too smart for me but I enjoy his What If? articles a lot
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:47:49 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I've understood what I've read by him but I won't deny it is pretty heavy material
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:48:31 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Basically what Ellie said

@northernnarwhal I use Vsauce more as a learning tool, that's on my level like half the time
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:54:00 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I like Vsauce, though I find Michael goes off on a lot of tangents and usually just asks a lot of really general questions. Still fun stuff though.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:54:44 UTC from web -
@mastertdi Well the difference is Vsauce actually explains things whereas XKCD just assumes you know them for the most part

@northernnarwhal well it's work. How about you

@northernnarwhal really bad

@northernnarwhal what exam is it?
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:33:21 UTC from web-
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:35:33 UTC from web
-
@northernnarwhal Math is pretty easy, philosophy seems hard as hell but you're smart so
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:37:04 UTC from web-
@yodelerty To be fair, philosophy in terms of exams mostly comes down to reading and remembering
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:37:41 UTC from web-
@skyllie Well, it's actually also about being able to apply concepts to situations as well as convey your ideas coherently.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:38:53 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I guess the point I'm making is passing a philosophy exam is easier than actually truly understanding philosophy
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:39:59 UTC from web-
@skyllie Well one portion of the exam is pretty much breaking down the intended meanings of several of Plato's dialogues so some level of understanding is still required.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:40:54 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Huh. Maybe your philosophy course is just better done than mine was.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:41:19 UTC from web-
@skyllie That could be the case. My philosophy teacher is really great too, I'm gonna miss this class next semester.

@skyllie I'm awful at that since that's what my English exams basically were and I did so bad
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:40:28 UTC from web

@yodelerty Actually for me it would be the other way around, maths is by far my toughest exam this semester.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:38:08 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal that's odd but I guess brains are wired differently
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:39:50 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Well, I get high marks in both classes but I actually enjoy philosophy so it feels a lot less like a chore to study for it.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:42:49 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal well that's excellent to hear. I enjoy neither tbh but math comes easy regardless for whatever reason
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:43:35 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It's just annoying with some stuff like trig identities in math where it's literally just trial and error to solve it.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:44:23 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I honestly forget what that entails
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:45:18 UTC from web-
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:47:26 UTC from web
-
@northernnarwhal oh yeah, I think I did that in grade 11 and I don't remember it being that fun but none of grade 11 math was really that easy
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:49:54 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Well I mean when you get Potato Knishes like your inverse ratios and double ratios involved it gets way more complicated
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:51:01 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal haha I barely remember that stuff ;~;

@northernnarwhal but math is all I'm decent at
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:52:38 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Well to be fair if you're gonna be decent at something math is good to be decent at
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:55:19 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal it's good to be good at it, I'm just decent at best
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:56:21 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Well my marks are generally in the mid-high 80s in math so I'm just alright at it I suppose.
Thursday, 22-Jan-15 01:58:47 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal mine are usually in the low to mid 90s so I'm not much better

@northernnarwhal trig identities arent so bad. Or at least i didnt think they were the last time i had to use them one year ago
