murder rank	Tue Jul 08 02:31:00 And becomes a pirate. ----------------- MIT Pirate Certificate The MIT Pirate Certificate became available in the Fall of 2011. Students who have completed Archery, Fencing, Pistol (Air Pistol or Rifle) and Sailing should send an email to ahoymitpe@mit.edu with name and MIT ID number once grades are posted for all four courses. Check PE&W history after each quarter. Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/mitpe for updates. The MIT Pirate Certificate is designed to recognize the completion of the undergraduate Physical Education & Wellness General Institute Requirement. The MIT Pirate Certificate is only made available to MIT students and is an incentive for undergraduate students to complete their Physical Education & Wellness General Institute Requirement of 4 physical education & wellness courses. It is not a stand-alone certificate. Non-MIT courses and life experience are not counted towards completing the certificate. The MIT Pirate Certificate is for entertainment purposes only and does not give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities. https://ph....edu/about/pirate-certificate/
Sam Adams rank	Tue Jul 08 05:32:07 I wonder if their health and wellness class is real or its "healthy at any size" left wing pseudoscience.
Rugian rank	Tue Jul 08 11:39:08 The idea that American taxpayers should be on the hook for paying people's student loans to attend this shit was absolutely infuriating. Fuck Biden.

williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 08 12:29:23 I wonder if one day before I die, Ill ever see conservatives actually get upset about a real problem, instead of mocking actual problems around the world and clutching their pearl necklaces in fake outrage at nonsense? I doubt it.
williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 08 12:35:36 roughly 6 Pirate diplomas are issued per year to students enrolled in qualified programs. Im guessing the cost of that per year is, say, * 5 minutes x 6 of a bored secretary printing it out. 30 minutes work per year by a secretary who gets the same wage whether she's got nothing to do or loads to do, lets say USD 15 at most * 6 x Ink and paper, say at most, USD 0.5 Total estimated cost: USD 15.5 per year. Absolutely enfuriating. Fuck Biden again and again and again
Rugian rank	Tue Jul 08 13:11:59 How many students end up getting degrees in absolutely worthless fields like African American and Womens' Studies, Polysci, Sociology, etc.? The fact is that there are a bunch of people going to college that dont need to. And thanks to liberal government student loan offerings, universities have massively jacked up prices because they know the taxpayer will eat the cost. University attendance should only be promoted for STEM and other fields that are actually worthwhile. More high schoolers should be encouraged to view trade schools as an acceptable alternative. And the idea that a person needs to go to college in order to get a good job is one that needs to be signifantly reworked. College frankly is, at least for what it costs these days, a massive financial scam.
Pillz rank	Tue Jul 08 14:32:09 The standards need to increase, so people who are actually capable and competent end up as our credentialed experts - not wtb's and carbon fiber masculinity lady.
murder rank	Tue Jul 08 16:31:38 "How many students end up getting degrees in absolutely worthless fields like African American and Womens' Studies, Polysci, Sociology, etc.?" From MIT? Probably not a lot. And political science and sociology are not worthless. -
murder rank	Tue Jul 08 16:32:04 But most importantly ... I want to be a pirate. :o(
williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 08 16:36:22 Well, thats easy. Get accepted as a paying customer for one year at MIT at an average cost of $12,938⁠ and apply for a joke diploma they hand out for fun which costs them an estimated utterly outrageous $2.5 per diploma. Fucking fucking fucking Biden.
williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 08 16:49:22 Really, the essence of outraged MAGA Rugians is pathological jealousy. Wait, you mean that guy who was getting beaten by his drunken dad from the age of 6, started drinking by the age of 12 to try to numb his misery, was living on the streets by 14, has no teeth left, eats from the garbage bins outside of McDonalds and will be found dead behind a dumpster before he's 50, was given a food coupon last week?? For FREE??? While I, brought up in a safe neighborhood, 4 years at Uni paid for by my parents so I could just continue gliding through life into a reasonable job and whose biggest problem in life was having to pull a wisdom tooth last year, have NEVER receieved a food coupon? This is so fucking unfair. Fucking Biden.
