Dude wasted 4 days being angry and thinks he won.
IDK if it’s a dude; girls will do some absolutely sociopathic shit to each other when they’re crossed

I don’t know, kind of sounds like they learned something and that’s a win.
Sometimes indignation can lead to amazing things, somebody told me in 2000 that I couldn’t make a 3D game for the web using 2D software and I felt so challenged and pissed-off I actually programmed a 3D rendering engine using that tool so I could make a virtua tennis style game playable on the web.
A world first out of spite.
Edit: In case anybody cares the tool was Macromedia Director which was a 2D raster authoring tool that you could use to make Shockwave games. And the feature that came out in (I think) patch 6.5 made 2D sprite skewing a thing which enabled me to make this!
Did they learn something? It’s 4 days later, the girl probably doesn’t realize the two events are related
Yes, they taught themselves the subject matter.
Imagine sitting through class presentations and some incel tries to bully a girl, badgering her with questions and a “this is common knowledge” attitude all because he is so fucked in the head he thought she was mocking him.

Now imagine a girl doing the same and you won’t think twice about it.
What? Of course I would. Assholes asking questions the presenter clearly wasn’t prepared to answer with an assholeish attitude suck regardless of gender.
Better than wasting years being angry about it wishing you did something at the time
You could just not do either
I prefer the third option.
I feel like if that comes easily to someone, it’s a kind of privilege. Pretty normal human thing to get hung up on petty insults, especially if someone is not in a position to be very self assured. Maybe there are better ways of dealing with it though.
Also, they are still dwelling on it after leaving college. I guarantee that it didn’t go down like they say and there’s either embellishment going on or it’s what they wished they would have done, but it never happened

Getting her crying is satisfying enough.
Can totally understand that. Been preparing to destroy someone for 3 decades. The end will be glorious.
If you’re three decades into trying to destroy someone, and you haven’t done anything yet, you’re just lying to yourself.
Been preparing to destroy someone for 3 decades.
If there’s a story here, I would like to hear it
So long story shot. When I was a kid (7/8 y/o), an extended family member kicked us (me and my direct family) out of our family house when my dad and uncle passed away.
Unfortunately, there was a dispute of this said house and blah blah law this and that. Homeless.
The said guy got ahold of the house and been staying there.
Fast forward today, been working hard to get monies. I got a wind of family conflict of this guy, money issue is apparently the cause so he attempted to sell the house. I bought the house through third party (friend’s name) and I rent it back to him.
Soon he will have a granddaughter or grandson, the day he returns back home with the newborn will be the day I kick the whole family out.
It doesn’t matter what your uncle did to you, you are kicking out your cousin and their kids from the home, who might have no idea on all of this. Get prepared to be hated…
That I dont care. I will burn down everything till he cant even cry.

Bro deluded himself into denial
Learning is never a waste of time, even if it’s for petty reasons like this. Not only does he get his revenge, he also now knows more about a topic he wouldn’t learn about otherwise.
Yeah, this is some “green text” bs.
The quote is also older than twitter.
That’s literally how you win.
Winning is never getting into a pissing contest to begin with.
Why would I not get into a pissing contest when I can cut metal with my stream?
That is equivalent to crabs pulling each other back into the bucket so none can escape.
If one of the crabs was angry enough it would burn a hole through the bucket.

Something similar: knew a girl that was wrote her bio master and she was like “you’re all below me”, one day she asked me to read her work for spelling mistakes, took a week intensively researching the topic and made several remarks on wrong sources/ better sources, found data assignment mistakes and content errors and wrote a comprehensive critic to the work. I’m feeling kinda sorry for what I did, she never handed the work in & is now a single mom. I’m far from the only reason for it, but I think that it pushed her over the edge with the decision to give up her academic career for good. Ooopsie.
Hey so you said :”she was like” but you didn’t really offer explicit acts about her behaviour confirming that’s really what she thought. It’s predictive text.
So did she really say you were below her or was that a feeling you get when you meet a confident person and determine this on your own because of feeling self conscious around that?
Her “bio master” as in her Master’s thesis? Why would she not have someone in her cohort read it? What happened with her PI? Were they just not checking in on her work at all? How could they get so far into a Master’s that she’s in the process of writing her thesis that you could find better sources in a week?
Sounds like the above person was cohort. They didn’t really specify they weren’t just that she asked them. So there was probably a reason and she trusted them.
I figured they weren’t since they described her as acting like she was better than them for her degree. It made it sound like that put her apart from them but idk.
Or Insecurity and crippling low self esteem with a boundless assumption that everyone is comparing themselves as better or less than can eat people alive.
Considering that is sounds like she was a pretty unlikable person so I’m surprised she got enough into a relationship to have a kid
The above op said “she was like” which is predictive text but no real story about how they got to that conclusion so I’m getting the feeling they themselves are an unreliable narrator. I’d take a beat before jumping in and entirely vilifying someone you don’t even know described by another person you don’t even know. It is the internet after all.
Why do people act like assholes don’t get into relationships? Have you taken a look at real life? They get into abusive relationships based on constant resentment that often break fairly soon, but they do get into relationships.
Or this never happened.
That’s my take this story sounds fake af
I really don’t understand what drives people to make these type of comments.
Bro whether it happened or not doesn’t really matter. They’re not trying to sell you a scientific study. It’s an anecdote. Even if it is fake it’s not going to destroy your life or financially bankrupt someone. Do you yell at Comedians saying that they’re lying about a funny story? Do you question everyone in your life and call them all out too if you don’t believe them?
The absolute worst that could come from lying about a random funny story is causing someone to let out a disappointed sigh if they find out it is fake. Compare that to the disruption of someone always showing up and saying “It didn’t happen.” I know which I prefer…
seeing as you’ve climbed all that way to die on a hill defending a shitty story about ruining someone’s life as being ‘funny’, you deserve the added salt of pearl-clutching disapproval that someone didn’t laugh about it.
Oh cause it sounds, and and almost gaurenteed, to be bullshit. I dont understand why you have such a problem with someone calling out someone else’s bullshit, but thats your right.
No, it sounds bullshit to you. You have no guarantee that this is bullshit. You have nothing to fall back on. You were not there. Moreover, weirder things continue to happen every single day in reality. I have an issue with someone who has no connection to the story just dismissing it outright and acting like everyone should believe them and their opinion despite it having zero supporting evidence. Not to mention you’re doing it in the funny community. Funny does not require truth, as mentioned above. So like I said, unless you’re actively calling comedians a liar then your own point doesn’t stand up to this. Comedians routinely tell bullshit and it’s a social contract to not interrupt and not crash it. Same contract applies to funny anecdotes in a comedy community.
You’re not calling out bullshit. You’re crashing a party.
Nor do You have any facts that what they said that made the story was believable. A complete internet stranger posts “She was like”… it already smells like bullshit to anyone with half a brain. Yet That’s all it took for you to take a deep dive on a story vilifying a complete stranger and defending it as ‘funny’. This says more about you adopting a shit personality than any story let alone humour in general.
Also what fuckin party are you talking about? You think this is a party? Get outside and touch grass.
What a party 🙄
She has a vagina. A lot of dudes will put up with a lot of shit in exchange for sex. Doesn’t take long to get someone pregnant if you’re not careful (barring medical issues of course).
She has a vagina.
My instinct says this above story is made up (or heavily edited from reality) but I see your instinct is too eager to expose to everyone just how much you hate women
I don’t hate women. If anything my comment was disparaging towards men.
Misogyny has rotted your brain all the way through.
Really? You don’t know a single dude that has a kid with a woman that treated him like shit because he was young and thought she was the only one that would talk to him so just accepted he behavior? I’ve seen that scenario play out several times.
I think you’re the one with brain rot given how much you’re arguing with everyone about a story you don’t even believe.
Not quite efficient. I would have known better things to do during four days
Let’s be honest, we’ve all done a lot less productive things back in college.
Some say it happens occasionally after as well…
Studying the topic of the class that you’re enrolled in? such a wild concept.
Bro that’s just learning without the extra steps

Did they start clapping after she cried?
Violence is easier.
So I trained four days and on the day of her presentation I knocked her right through the wall.
Better?
Read through the comments, and still not sure if the title is a typo or a joke…
Had to read the title like 4 times to even catch the typo
I hate when people say “uni”.
You would hate Australia.
and the UK
And Canada
And Germany.
Better than people confusing it with college though
those arent the same thing?
A university is a college but a college is not necessarily a university. (At least in the U.S)
Community colleges and State colleges vary from Universities usually that Universities require graduate programs. Not sure all the specifics but if you want an Associates degree you can usually get one at either. A masters degree you can’t normally get at a State College. (Exceptions might exist, I’m sure someone will shit on my breakdown and correct it haha)
I wish this was as straight forward as this tries to make it. In the US there has been a shift to re-designate colleges as universities based on the number of graduate and non-graduate programs, requiring at least one of each as far as I can tell. The side effect is that a lot of state colleges are now state universities with individual “colleges” within them for the specific program groups.
Which is to say that some state colleges were correctly rebranded as universities, but you can go to a state college and have it be a university.
(And yes, even further exceptions exist and I look forward to being enlightened about the various universities in the middle of nowhere serving 15 people.)
They’re different words, aren’t they?
They’re the same word, just pronounced differently.
And English has never had two words mean the same thing
I think it’s already been explained for the most part in other comments but yes, here (UK) there’s a difference between college (post-16 A-level equivalent) and university (post-18, requires college or A-level first)
…but why?
College is just a bunch of pictures pasted together
Not everyone lives in the US. Here in the UK College and University are very different things.
It doesn’t matter where you live. I just hate the term “uni”. Say “my university”, “NYU”, “Princeton”, or something like that. I don’t have an objective argument against it. I just don’t like it. It’s like the word " ain’t ". It’s in the dictionary now and technically acceptable, but I hate it.
You realize that universities outside the US and UK only have a very nondescript moniker or some obscure title that would not help you identify it in the slightest, right?
I could say “Back in TU Heidelberg” and you would look like a personified questionmark.
Then say “at my university”. I think people will understand that you don’t own a university, and you are referring to the one that you attended. Again, it’s purely a subjective issue. I get that I’m in the minority, but I still hate the term.
Are you really asking all but a few countries on the planet to stop using the word they’ve been using for ages because being exposed to it bothers you personally?
I’m actually interested in how this plays out.
I’m not asking anyone to do anything. I’m just saying that I hate the word.
If I said I hate spaghetti, would you assume I want all spaghetti around the world banned and destroyed?
Well now Lemmy will exclusively use “uni” just to piss you off. You really painted a target on yourself
I also painted a vagina on my stomach, but I guess that’s not really relevant.
Ain’t was always a valid contraction for “am not”, but too many people misused it until grammarians convinced everyone it wasn’t a real word. Besides, words aren’t handed down from on high. If it’s in the dictionary it’s because it was already in use. What’s the point of a dictionary if you can’t look up the words people are using?
In the 70s and 80s we were taught that it wasn’t a proper word. Of course, whether it’s proper or not, I hate it.
I also hate “irregardless”. If I said that word to my English teacher I would have been slapped into next Tuesday.
Irregardless, you ain’t getting slapped at uni.
I hate it too, but where I am, everyone says it so, and now they’ve converted me. Send help.
You didn’t “research the topic”, stupid. They gave a presentation about the inner workings of the porn industry. Worker’s rights, contracts, the whole thing.You spent four days watching the inner workings of the porn industry. Not the same.
