So because of my stupid 160 class, I have a bullshit assignment that requires me to not use any technology for 72 consecutive hours. Yeah, I know, bullshit. Well, I need the grade in the class so I'll be gone from 12:00 AM Thursday to 12:00 AM Sunday (Eastern). Be sure to have all your parties while I'm gone.

I might sneak a pop in once or twice but I won't be on IRC.

But we can't have parties.

You always start them.

You'll have to do without me. I'm sure Anya could probably start one...

Wait, says who?

How can they even tell?

Hell, did they even consider that running water can be considered technology?

I assume by no technology they mean no recently developed technology, right?

They obviously can't tell. It's an honor thing but we have to write responses and th guy's been doing this long enough that he can probably spot a bullshitted paper.

And yes, technology meaning recent, a.k.a., fun things. No phones, music, computers, gaming, television, etc.

Every of us has a ⑨ inside.
----------------------------
An assignment.

That requires not to use technology.

What... is actually the assignment for it to require that?

You should write a paper about how you nearly died because you couldn't use your dialysis machine.

Oooh, write one about how you nearly fainted in your home because you weren't allowed to use the carbon monoxide detector installed in your home and a gas leak occurred!

As a Buddhist, I think it's a good idea to leave all technology from time to time and give us some time to ourselves, away from our material goods.

Go for it and don't give up!

I couldn't agree more, it certainly won't kill you despite what some may think. Also hooray for fellow Buddhists :p

Oh I'll be fine, I just think it's annoying how he's FORCING us to do it.

Sukasa - Send Private Message

What I disagree with is the idea that your teacher has any right at all to tell you what to do with your time outside of class.

Hint: he doesn't.

That's an odd assignment. Good luck with it.

Could someone update the GDC thread in my absence? I obviously won't be able to. Thanks in advance.

One hour remains. Hope the moon doesn't fall.

I'll try to look after it, but I'll be at work for the most part. But hopefully we'll all help out.

They obviously can't tell.


My reply would seriously be "I slept in all day until random hours of the night, because between not having my digital alarm clock to wake me up and not having anything to do I was bored shitless."

It'd be honest!
