I can see what svaro means by that

even in uni *gasp*

Well yeah

<:npc:502497359419408384>

<:npc:502497359419408384> what should I think anon

Because these are meant to be the cream of the crop studying chemistry because they're good at it

Instead of coming up with something themselves

they're meant to be good at chemistry

Not complete mongoloids who can barely understand what's going on

🤷

Its because people pass high school that should be held back

specialisation has its disbenefits too

But the schools want to look good so they pass as many people as possible

Even the quantum mechanics we learned was literally easy peasy

I once cringed because the article I received from my professor had an error.

yes samaritan

exactly

I know because I shouldn't have passed lol

it's production-based assessment

how many graduates do you produce

^

no quality assurance yes haha

I'm the biggest under achiver to have ever lived

@ebinmemes22, horse with fingers.

Ofsted ruin schools with that shit lmao

I passed with a 30% attendance rate and doing basically no work so

Fuck

Remember kids if I could do it so can you

I've been bamboozled

kinda same, i got the subjects alright, passed all my tests and exams quite alright but i was taking the piss 100% of the time

I still do no work lol

I really fucking should have paid attention

yep

And I'm passing my exams with reasonable margins lol

@ebinmemes22 basically, they evolved to be similar to giant ground sloths or bears.

I studied like 2 times and that class I got 2nd highest grade

but then ceo's kids wouldve gotten into the uni and i'd be stuck doing fuckall anyway

If I put in minimal effort next year I'll get a first ezpz

but that's eastern europe forya 😛

@Little Boots it was also the biggest land mammal ever to have lived, it isn't gonna be climbing any trees

Systems fucked and it is as far as I can tell because of lack of discipline

I wouldn't have bludged so hard if belted us lets be real here

weird mix of no discipline but no freedom either

Or finding some other reason to walk on 2 legs lol, I doubt it's pelvis would allow for it

Or at least made me run 3 laps around the field

welllllll

i was really antischool lol

running around the fields didnt help haha

Ah yes sign here name and id to take a piss but I can also just sit on my phone all day and none gives a fuck

@ebinmemes22 I know, but it still evolved finger-like appendages without needing to climb trees. Rather, it used them to grip limbs to nibble off the branches similar to how giant ground sloths functioned.

Clearly svarozgyc is a Richard and Mortimer fan too

lol

school is no place for smart kids

It’s that old thing of “convergent evolution” that I was talking about taking place.

I only learned to enjoy sport right as I left school

i got kicked out of uni for not attending PE

tru story from eastern europe

@Little Boots and it didn't have the intelligence, social structure or ability to walk on two legs so it didn't become smart. It'd need a lot of work

It's not just about the fingers, it's about ending up using them to hold things, like a baby or a stick

@ebinmemes22 I know. I’m just showing how fingers could develop without needing to climb trees.

Thumbs are a different story.

Ye but in the overall argument that was had in the first place it doesn't help much lol

Thumbs is the part that prolly requires tree climbing lol

I might try to do an entire hypothetical species development and try to hypothesize potential ways appendages needed for gripping tools could develop and see if it’s possible without needing to climb trees.

Well octopi can grip things

They're pretty smart too

Their problem is that they're trapped underwater

There's even a species that catches fish to ride on their backs for fun lol

Hyper intelligent crows.

Hyper intelligent trilobites

Hyper intelligent potatoes.

This is something that needs to be said: There is NEVER such a thing as "two equally qualified candidates." There is ALWAYS someone who is more qualified, even if it's just marginally.

Maybe someone has an extra three weeks of work experience, or scored two points higher out of a thousand on a "relevant knowledge" test. There are NEVER equally qualified workers. Ever.

If they're coming up with identical scores, then test more. Eventually one will come out ahead.

Yeah but their CV is unlikely to go into that exact detail level

And also whypipo bad guise

That's why I'd strongly prefer a blind hiring system, where you can't discriminate on race because you don't even know who the fuck you're looking at.

All you know is "College Degree X" with "Y GPA" and "Z score" on some skills test to filter out the chaff.

Or maybe it's the kind of job where people can submit a portfolio of prior work, so you can judge people on that.

There still have to be interviews

To do those tests

Most interviewers, from what I've read, don't actually know what the fuck they're doing. Instead of hiring the best people for the job they just hire whoever is the best at bullshitting the interviewer.

Effectively, like the American voter they end up hiring the person they'd want to have a beer with instead of the person who is legitimately most suited for the job.

Given that, most companies would be better off if they fired the HR department and rented out a classroom in some local high school to have prospective hires take a pen and paper test. Whoever gets the best scores gets the job.

You'd probably end up with better workers, far more so than if you trusted an interviewer to do the job for you.

But then who would Stacy complain to when her boss dares to put his hands on her shoulders

Huffpost

I don't trust voters, and I don't trust HR departments.

What I trust is an unbiased, objective performance metric. Even if it's just a knowledge test. At the very least you're selecting for people who are willing to study intensively in an effort to get the job they want.

Someone that's willing to spend 10+ hours cramming for a firefighter's exam is probably more qualified than some jackass from the local community college. If you're worried about physical abilities, then have them take a physical test too and add that to their overall score.

Accurately reading polls is like shooting a shotgun.

Stupid?

You get a spread around different places but a pretty consistent spread at a target

Also, accuracy goes to shit when you're far away.

Except for the 2016 election

True

Where they were shooting blindfolded

the polls were pretty accurate for the 2016 election

>99% hillary

they were just interpreted in a retarded manner

The problem with the 2016 election is they started shaming everyone for supporting Trump, so a ton of them either didn't answer the pollsters or they lied and said they were a Hillary voter.

Yep true
