1:58p - I love the smell of Meta-Stupid in the morning!
It's a good smell! It smells like incoming wank!
Over at  stupid_free, up-and-coming Wank all-star ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) two_stabs passes along this entry from the newly minted (and probable source of future posts here) sex_debate:
Can lesbians have sex? And is anal penetration sex?
So soon after tovasshi's sex_debate community is founded, stupid_free worthiness is generated post-haste, reaffirming my faith in the stupidity of folks on the internet.
NO, PEOPLE. The VAGINA is the MAGIC HOLE and the penis is the MAGIC SHAFT and together they create sex molecules. Otherwise, you're just shooting blanks.
(Okay, the "sex molecules" crack was pretty good.)
Several S_F posters don't see the stupid, as the OP answers his (her?) own question in the next sentence and is clearly looking for discussion more than a pat answer.
two_stabs takes this dissension with maturity and humility.
That is to say he replies with variations of "No, I'm right; the OP is an idiot" and macros. .
Small now, but growing (and growing nastier) by the minute.
Full disclose: I'm in the thread, but I was more interested in this comic than the (lack of) stupid at hand.

11:31p - Academic wank ahoy!
I found this one in ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) wank_report, and it's too good not to share with the class. Academic wank makes my day.
Meet bob_the_normal. Bob is a freshman taking a (community) college English course from a professor who has certain standards to his grading. Bob strongly feels he deserves an A. The professor, apparently, disagrees. Bob proceeds to write up a complaint to the lj group academics_anon, a community with many members who work in in higher education.
How do I get an A in this class? I'm at the point where I'm going to ask him in the final week what he thinks I'm going to get... and if he tells me a B I will, basically, threaten to take all my essays to the English board for review. I have no doubt they will find my work excellent, and far above the average 1B student. I think this is completely unfair. I see that he wants to make people try harder, and that is fine... but it costs my future, not his. I'm not okay with that.
Is this merely the post of a disgruntled student, or could the professor have darker motivations?
To add to the pain of that, a very nice Greek girl is in the class and she has very good writing -- but she herself tells me she thinks that my writing is better. He gives her all As. He is Greek.
It's unclear whether he's looking for advice or validation, because he ignores the former and receives none of the latter. In fact, the community pretty much lets him have it with both barrels.
The entry itself is almost genius in its sheer amount of pretension, but the comments are where the wank really starts to flow. Bob apparently has some problems with constructive criticism. It's impossible to quote all of the good stuff here.
( Some highlights )
