Eagle Rants: October 24, 2012

• i still dont get it.... whats wine tuesday?

• to all the people talking about wine tuesday...... shut up

• Pepperidge Farm remembers when EagleRants used to be funny, but Pepperidge Farm ain't going to remember free of charge, so how bout you go out and buy some Milano cookies

• @ "Find almost any straight guy and take off your pants." I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!

• We talk in the hallways sometimes on floor 3 of one of the dorms here [not saying which one :)]and I want you to know that I really like you. Do you like me too?

• @ "Liberals R Tools, I pretty much disagree with 98% of everything you say, but you are by far the best/most hilarious commenter on this site. Keep them coming!" Why thank you very kindly! I lift my cigar to you in across-the-aisle friendship.

• Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get?

• not following you back on Twitter

• Education should be free.

• @"Honest question: can a member of CAUS explain to me why it makes sense to ask for a freeze on tuition at a private school that all of us have willingly chosen to attend?" Why not? Should we not try to change a school that we go to for the better?

• "To whoever reads this: i have attempted to travel back through time to kill Hitler. If you dont know who that is, I have succeeded." Who's Hitler?

• I am JUST so done with you.

• Why is the sky always falling? For once, shut up and be happy that you're breathing! WHO CARES IF HE DIDN'T TEXT YOU BACK

• What's the bet the people demand tuition freezes are also demanding higher pay for professors, more diverse and expensive food options, and more money for student government initiatives?

• If two people are happy together, don't try to change that.

• Can you just say hi to me when you see me? It's driving me crazy.

• To anyone who doesn't understand why we should resist exorbitant tuition rates because we all "chose" to attend an extremely expensive school: Supposedly we chose our school for the education and opportunities it would present to us, not for the price tag. Why should we be the only ones with the choice to attend AU? What about the people for whom choosing tens of thousands of dollars of debt (hundreds of thousands in some of our cases) is not an option? Do they not deserve the same education and opportunities as us?

• You are selfish.

• #winetuesdays is actually trending.......

• I don't understand. We texted every day before you left for three weeks for Belgium. Now you're back and you don't talk to me at all. And then I screwed everything up by drunk texting you and now you're disgusted with me. WHY ARE THINGS SO COMPLICATED.

• @sophomore sick of friends - go out for recruitment! guy or girl, you'll have the opportunity in the spring. I was a sophomore when I did and it is one of the best decisions I've made at college so far.

• #winetuesdays is for hipsters.

• @"men’s spaces: public space is men’s space," That is a common misconception. As a man, there is a higher probability that I will get in to a violent exchange with another man than you. Also, simply stating that we should “just tell your bros to quit being such d-bags” doesn’t add to the conversation and assumes that all men associate themselves with men who act as such: we don’t and the insinuation that we do sexist, insensitive, and is the exact image of manhood and men’s sexuality that we would wish to combat with such a group.

• why are all the #winetuesday-ers commis?

• @"Girl waiting for her bf to propose. You sound pretty dumb too so…" She's dumb because she wants her long term boyfriend to propose? Umm ok. Lol. You can tell you are single and probably always have been/always will be. To the OP: hang in there. He will propose. Just be patient.

• I'm so lonely it's sickening.

• Why does Starbucks hide their frappacino menu? So annoying. After giving up my beloved cinnamon dulce frappacino when it no longer appeared on the menu, I discovered today that they do in fact have all the old frappacino favors. They just don't want you to know. Unless you specifically ask. WHY?!!!!

• @"i’d probably offer to be the first female president while you’d be the first lady president’s first lady" aww thanks. ur rant totally made my day and lifted my mood. ur vibe is correct, but if I were to ever be first lady to a first lady president, I'd pick u. ;)

• @"Anyone else always feel like they're going through the motions of living without actually living?" Every day, my friend. Every day. I feel like that song from the Repunzel movie where she sings "when will my life begin"

• @feminazi saying men shouldn't have a safe place to talk about men's issues: wow, you're the reason girls like me hate feminism with a passion. people like u killed whatever good was left in the feminist movement.

• Sitting in y room sans pants cause my roommate is out. Life is good.

• loling forever at people whining about how feminists want to "take rights away from men". no one would need safe spaces if public was made safe for all people. but god forbid I be too fat, too skinny, black, brown, female, ambiguous of gender, disabled, or anything other than hot and complacent. even the Internet is considered a men's space. nowhere is safe so I lol to keep from screaming.

• @Person with the Quandary Regarding a Seemingly-Lonely Person: You don't know unless you talk to these folks bro! Say hi, ask them how they are doing, if they have friends, great you can be another one, if they don't have any, then be their first one!

• @supposed baby Hitler killer. why would you kill him when you could just kidnap him and take him to live in an evil baby orphanage and raise him to be nice / in a place where he can't hold public office?

• If you insist on commenting on how attractive my friends are (when we both know damn well that I have a one-sided crush on you) then we won't be spending time together anymore. If you're trying to tell me you're not interested: MESSAGE RECEIVED; I picked up on your "subtle hints" after the first 30 or so clues. But God, do you have any idea how much it sucks to hear you go on and on about my friends as if the person sitting next to you didn't also have XX chromosomes and emotions.

• Noooooooo....... Why U NO LOVE ME!? I GIVE U SWEET LOVIN' ON THE BED AND ON THE FLOOR!

• Insert obligatory AU hipster iPad Mini rant here...

• “@men’s spaces: public space” A men’s space would NOT put any limits on women’s spaces. There are legitimate concerns that could be met with such a group: the inclusion of transmen and gay men, suicide risk mitigation (suicide rates of under 35 men is currently FOUR TIMES greater than

• @Cloud Atlas: I highly doubt that... That movie is well kinda bad storywise. It's just pretty to look at.

• I'm self paid to this school. No rich parents no rich well ...anything. I work my butt off, have good grades and huge tuition bills. AU why won't you help people like me out rather than spending millions on the wonk campaign or students who can rely on their parents... There is no hope for an increase in scholarship or anything... That is unless your daddy donates a few million already

• CAUS self promotes on eagle rants and its obvious lawl

• Ranting while I poop, pooping while I rant!

• I kind of wish I were Grumpy Cat...

• Thanks person on my floor who moved my laundry while I was at class to the dryer. I owe you, it was so nice!

• ...there's a typo in the subhead of the first movie review under the scene section. I generally like the Eagle, but you're making it hard for me here.

• *cookie-cutter

• Taylor Swift

• So if first wave feminism was about passing laws that allowed women to vote , and second wave feminism was about passing laws that gave women equal pay for equal work, then what is third wave feminism about? I get the feeling it is mainly about abortion rights. Am I wrong here? I would like to think of myself as a modern feminist, but I'm pro life and I just don't see eye to eye with any feminists I meet here...

• Why is the library giving away sheep?

• I love when people flip out over stuff that does not matter AT ALL to the world or society or daily life. Calm yourself.

• KEEP CLAM AND PROOFREAD

• I wonder if Liberals R. Tools is just trolling or is actually serious.

• Re Jerk Store: You're their top selling product.

• That awkward moment when...

• Is this real life?

• I'm so sorry, I just laughed at the word "stimulate"

• safe spaces for men: 1. everywhere 2. everywhere 3. everywhere at night 4. everywhere at 3 in the morning #bye

• @sophomore tired of friend group: Hey! I'm a freshmen and i'm still looking for a friend group! I'm probably screwed...

• hey freshmen in anderson, if you keep insisting on taking the elevator to the second/third floor, i will gladly help you in your goal to shave precious seconds off your trip by drop-kicking you the f*** out of the elevator when the doors open. sincerely, a sophomore who didn't do that kind of crap last year.

• Ugh Downton Abbey, why are you so heart-wrenching this season?

• I thought I was over you.

• Honest to God, I think grad school is sucking the life out of me. I feel like all I do is whine about it, but I swear, it honest-to-God might kill me.

• Cover your mouth when you YAWN. For the love of GOD, you look like an IDIOT.

• Hos against bros, lets go

• Stupid is as stupid does
