As someone who did go to engineering school, I did not read funkless_eck’s comment as denigrating artists, in any way. I read it as denigrating the unrealistic requests made by art-illiterate clients.

Both their and Captain Aggrevated’s comments where about the unrealistic stresses put on their professions by the subject-illiterate colleagues/clients. They’re highlighting the pain, which is cathartic but not how a real class would work; however, I didn’t assume they’re in here seriously proposing new pedagogy. This is the internet.

Humanities and Shop classes that teach the basics of other professions show that even the basics are more complex than an outsider would assume. So, yeah, engineers should round out their curriculum so they don’t become jag-offs that expect unrealistic expectations.

I don’t know what class you missed though, because you took a joke aimed at those dismissing your profession and chose to internalize it instead. Talk about playing to type; the self-obssessed artiste. If you’re an artist, hold the standard higher, please.

-Finer than frog hair

I’m impressed you found this insult without it being directly in response to you. You’re a good detective man, even if a sad one.

Much love from your fellow Lemming, QQQ

Not a possum detective, that’s for sure. They don’t know shit about those critters!
