My dissertation on media consumption habits of rural Southerners was boring, I guess.



She's a cute girl, but what the hell? A Ph.D. for this?







I've got good news for her. She's about to get paid. She is exactly who runs corporate twitter accounts, as well as who writes for both clickbait & legacy media rags. Vulgar, indebted whores who think degree = intelligence.

And let me remind you. Degree/Credential in username or bio indicates mental illness, midwit IQ, & status insecurity. Disregard, block, or ridicule on sight. Its just as bad as the pronoun posse to me.

I never use Dr. in my name outside of official academic business.

And then this one.



The dissertation title: Investigating Colonialism & Black Feninism in R&B and pop-culture with a focus on Beyonce and Rihanna

That's not exactly representative of all academia.

This shite is unequivocal proof why most children should learn a useable trade and avoid further Prog/Dim university level indoctrination.

Don't confuse this with STEM as all of academia.

"The prude, the whore, and the girl next door"


I bet her thesis advisor knows exactly which one she is.

I hope the girl up top is English and not American. In the United States, the period goes inside the quotation marks.

Sounds like an absolutely lovely read compared to mine on novel physical and chemical solvents for CO2 separation applications...

To be clear, these are undergraduate thesis projects—not doctoral dissertations. Crap they may be, but this is a far cry from an indictment of the entire academy.

I'll tell you what happened, the greatest generation retired from their higher ed positions. The GI bill helped many of those guys get an education and become professors. Those crusty old GI's wouldn't have put up with this shite.

They hand out most PhD’s like candy nowadays

Just write some useless dissertation and try to make it make sense and boom! You’re a Dr.!

When I saw this my first thought was the NASA intern that replied to Hickam telling him to suck her D and B. She lost the internship.
