the zingee's 'O' rarely counts for much

'0'

\'O'/

:D

This is the "explain the zing to the dude that got zung" thread.

my professors in college were always complaining about how Comp Sci majors would end up looking bad b/c it was so much harder to get an A in their classes as opposed to Baby Psychology

baby psychology was presumably repeated because:
1. it really sounds like you are just throwing out a fluffy bullshit example thing, like "underwater basket weaving" but "baby psychology" would actually be really fucking complex, because babies don't talk
2. I don't know that most schools would have an actual baby psychology department or major?
3. It was just a really weird choice, when you could have said English or undergrad psych or art history or something

Guys p. sure it's called developmental or child psychology.

i long for the reality in which the study of small childrens minds is for real known as 'baby psychology' for it is surely more hospitable than our own

like my friend has twins and I like one and the other one kind of annoys me it makes me feel terrible in retrospect

"I hate that little brat, I can tell he's going to be one of those people who sucks his teeth, whenever he has any."

OK lol. Speaking as the putative zing-slinger in that "Baby Psychology" post (which I agree wasn't a zing), mh has mostly got it: I was struck by the usage of the seemingly made-up "Baby Psychology" (instead of developmental/child psychology), the randomness of the example, and the odd implication that "baby psychology" was a breeze.

maybe it's psychology for babies, that'd have to be a pretty easy course

"tell me about your father"

”well i only just met the guy tbh"

all I can say is that the "Baby Psychology" thing was kind of an in-joke among the professors at the college I went to, it's not really supposed to mean anything, it's simultaneously a joke about easy majors and comp sci people not understanding humans at all

you're bad at jokes

either way that was the least important part of that post, i didn't want to offend anyone who actually majored in liberal arts or whatever

lol the one group you're actually concerned about offending are liberal arts major?

why r u guys so mad at baby psychology idgi

^^^^^^^^^

see Matt, it's not so hard

genuine pity in my heart for u guys

mixed with a tinge of contempt of course

I saw the first season of Storage Wars. Went down easy. They did a brilliant job eliding over the economic realities driving the show.

Dr Morbius is just waiting for the right ilxor and a bunch of balloons to make it OK that his wife died and he never traveled.

1. I don't really understand that
2. I don't think that really applies to Morbs
3. I am stealing that the first chance I get
