Did anyone clip DSP's Grand Canyon thing? I've seen it mentioned here a few times but I don't think I've seen any video of it yet

How do you bumble your way through life and not know the Grand Canyon? Even if you're a exceptional individual consoomer, so many shows and movies feature the Grand Canyon. It's a pop culture fixture and it's honestly unbelievable he didn't know about it.

To be fair, most CS 101 profs can't teach for beans. They are so bored of basic for loops and functions they don't give a single shit. They only teach because they have to. Buuuut you can find all the resources you'd ever need online. Even back before the current internet there were great online programming resources.

My expectations are kinda low for an American's authentic Italian's understanding of world geography but holy fuck how can you be American robust and an authentic Italian and not know where the grand canyon is?

The people that come out of a CS class not knowing how to actually code don't last long, I put some of the blame on the students who think its lecturers responsibility to hand hold their way through programming. Most of the cool stuff you do yourself, the assesments in Western education are bare minimum ezpz baby mode. At least from what I've heard about Russia and Chinas education dive into stuff like memory allocation way quicker and actual coding instead of several dumbass project management modules and "how businesses are affected by code"

DSP is geographically retarded, and his Microsoft Flight Sim streams just showed it off. During one stream he flew around Mt. Everest, and someone (probably Derich) tipped and said that the summit of Mt. Everest was the highest point on Earth, and DSP said “Oh, I didn’t know that…”

That is a fact that we learn in elementary school.

DSP’s lack of interest in furthering his general knowledge about the world is so weird to me. He’s as ignorant as the dumbest people I have met throughout my adulthood. He seems to have zero interest in reading a book, or even browsing a Wikipedia article about something, which is the least someone could do. When he says he doesn’t know something on-stream, instead of quickly googling it and finding the answer in fifteen seconds, he just goes “oh well!” and stays ignorant, or just hopes some random wheelchairs in his chat will tell him.

Just caught up with the DSP autism from the past week, and I love how these never-seen-before whales show up out of nowhere to push DSP up to the surface for him to take a breath every time he is about to drown in the sea of his own misery, thus prolonging the journey of constant suffering and embarrassment that is his life.

And I'm just sitting here pointing and laughing, enjoying the train wreck without having to spend a single dime. Keep paying that Cowflix subscription fee, whales. It's much appreciated.

Phil did nothing wrong, he did everything cromulently

This has been one of the most boring weeks in a while when it comes to DSP streams. Every time I’ve checked in on him, his tips have been really high, and that makes him soul-crushingly boring. Last night he hit the tips goal pretty early, and from what I saw, he tried to beat the same Monkey Ball level over and over again for almost ninety minutes. It was like watching a replay over and over and over again, with the same annoying sound effects (that yell the monkey does when you fall got stuck in my head). But I guess the fact that he didn’t have to raise anymore cash for that day meant he could just go on auto-pilot for the rest of his stream. I swear it’s like DSP’s brain is constantly running in low-power mode. Any mild effort puts his brain in danger of overheating and his circuit boards frying. (I mean, he actually DID overheat last night and had to take off his baked potato foil vest)

oh he just said he didn't know where it is. everyone was making it sound like he didn't even know it existed.

We’re talking about someone who confused Mt. Rushmore with Mt. Everest.

What are you talking about dood. I went to Mt. Everest K. *snort* and I climbed all the way to the top on both Washington and Lincoln's face. So quite being a moron and learn your geography. Some people just don't get it but it is what it is I guess

 

[Fact Me Till I Fart]

Once again, Blooper comes through.

This chucklefuck is whining about playing remakes/remasters of old games, but then is so hyped to want to play REMASTERS of the PS2/Xbox GTA Trilogy. Also, as many mentioned, Phil fears Samus.

Blooper World Order Big Ups!!

I found Metroid Prime 2 to be difficult sure but one hell of a game, especially for the Gamecube era, I enjoy those single player games, it just times me out from the constant grind of forever Multiplayer

And no wonder Phil hates Nintendo, he's a racist POS who deserved to lose his sponsors as well as Ad revenue

Holy shit, he's so whipped and cucked that he's terrified of playing as a woman in a fully covered suit that only shows her face. Granted it does break off when she dies, but still most of the game there's no immature non-adult booba or ass shown. It's crazy how sexist he's being by trying to be a white knight. Like most people online who complain about attractive females.

Great now I need to drink the same amount of gin Phil does to get over this


Matoor adult dood


Ok so I went back a bit and listened to this and a few thoughts of how this has come. First, he graduated in 2004 in Ct with a degree in Finance. Economy was massively expanding especially in the finance industry, getting a job should have been very easy so Phil is an idiot. Second he talks about jobs requiring prior experience to get into entry levels which is stupid. Especially when there was an expanding economy in that sector, jobs will hire you if you just apply or at the bare minimum give you an interview. The prior experience is their wishlist but they will take what they can get. Third, he talks about internships being unpaid which sounds like he didn't actually look for an internship. It sounds like he just heard what the complaint was of marketing, communication majors, and other pointless majors like journalism about internships being unpaid and assumed it was the same not knowing that most internships for degrees like finance, accounting, analytics, engineering, etc actually pay their interns to do the work because their work is needed. Fourth, he talks about spending all this time at school and working. Uhh Phil, if that was true, then jobs would have seen really good grades and work experience to go with that and have at least interviewed you for positions. So I am guessing he spent a lot less time than he is proclaiming he spent at both of those and spent wayyyy more time at streetfighter events. Fifth, he complains about the system being about the rich. No Phil, you spent more time playing street fighter than studying during school and didn't get a job planted in your lap. Sixth, his Wells Fargo story. That financial part of the firm was a pretty common practice back then and is probably now, he is just terrible at explaining it. People consolidate debt all the time with banks. The bank will give you the single payment, at a higher rate due to your bad credit, and put it against an asset so they become a secured creditor. The firm probably went out of business due to losses of the firm with foreclosing all the houses due to the drop in home values. Those people who "went back to square one" are the ones who decided to walk away from the mortgage because it isn't worth the loan amount. Its not predatory lending like he says it was.

Which brings me to the conclusion that he didn't pay attention in school, didn't use any school resources to look into internships to see which one he could actually do (since they were paid internships), cared more about streetfighter tournaments than his grades, graduated and just expected a job to fall into his lap which never happened, pretended others had jobs fall into their laps because they had "connections" (which you can do so fucking easily Phil, just show up to a job fair and start talking to people. Talk to someone and have a good conversation. Then get their business card and send them a thank you email so they remember who you fucking are and boom you just made a connection to a firm.), and then when, presumably daddy, got him a job at Wells Fargo (a fairly large bank that you could move up in the finance industry coming from a small college), you didn't understand anything about the business or bothered to learn and left after a year. Your advice to this guy was terrible and I hope it was a troll tipping him and not a serious student asking for advice. Because the only one wasting that piece of paper is Phil

Another funny thing is that it's a fucking finance major; the hardest math class he had was like, business calculus which is basically pre-calc with some token derivatives specific to business practices. Accounting and economics majors have it way, way worse. Finance is about as easy as it gets in college for the math-centric business degrees. Our boy struggled with basic algebra and the fundamentals of calculus, along with all of the other brainless information dump classes related to business. But he was valedictorian!

 

[Si vis pacem para bellum]

Ok now you are just lying. There is no way this man got a Finance degree

So he got a business degree with a focus on finance, which typically means he didn't have to take a handful of the business classes and took some 101 finance classes instead. I agree though theres no way he retained anything.

Derich hasn’t tipped in years. When he did he had to steal his mom’s credit card.

Acting Ethically, Responsibly & Legally

Acquiring Discipline

Phillip is 0 for 4. That school is terrible

Only thing to point out here is accounting doesn't have much more difficult math classes. But Phil wouldn't be able to last since you have tons of rules to follow with accounting and Phil would give up instantly

 

[der rademacher]

I said that in the Philisms thread today with the caveat that my Latin is rusty but nowhere on the diploma does it say which specific degree he got, only that he has achieved a Bachelor's degree while attending the Charles J. Dolan school of business at Fairfield University.

Perfect environment for our lady's... man

 

[Iron Hamster]

I don't understand why people are having such difficulty with the valedictorian thing. Is it really that hard to believe that Phil had a higher GPA than 29 Basketball-Americans? Just the fact that Good Boy Phil showed up to class every day and turned in something for every assignment probably put him at the top of that class.

He needed a blind man to correct him on a simple read.

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

"Not once did I ever find myself attractive even when I was lifting and big and buff."
Phil was NEVER buff he still has those stick arms from the old arcade pictures.

Enjoy dying inside a little bit mate.

That just says he got a business degree, which when whatever dude verified with the college something like 6 or so years ago they found out he had a Business Degree, and we can only assume the focus on Finance is why his dented head calls it a Finance degree.

As I tell my little ones when they're frustrated with the teachers, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

Well lemme spoiler this because it's personal experience in the field over a couple decades but the TLDR is Coders come from shitty coursework and coding camps now, serious comp sci is relegated to a few bastion colleges anymore.
Before 9/11 all comp sci coursework was hardware, software, low level programming and hardware understanding, etc. Afterwards they started migrating towards two major things that are ruining Comp Sci, but could also be the proper way forward if implemented better. Firstly is separating hardware and software. I've interviewed dozens of programmers who had no idea how hardware worked and couldn't assemble a computer with a guide. This is atrocious. Our layers of abstraction are an interesting problem to solve but if it means that 99% of programmers lack an even basic fundamentals understanding of hardware that's bad. The second is pushing with the tide of further abstracted programming languages. Most comp sci/information systems (software) degrees will cover some tiny bit of basics, like a few weeks of talking about hard drives, and talking about binary but then press forward into programming in modern abstracted languages. They play lipservice to learning programming before programming language but in practice this isn't done. Programming and Programming languages are separate topics and because the former isn't taught the people who are taught the latter are fucking awful shit programmers who can functionally get something done theoretically but lack the fundamentals to do it in any concise, efficient way. Code is a clusterfuck and wasteful on CPU time. Part of this comes from the unending march of hardware power meaning wasting CPU cycles is less and less of a problem every year but then again would you rather run a version of Steam that is hardy as fuck, nigh inpenetrable, has a functional menu, only uses HTML in the store section, is super fast and snappy, and could run on a graphing calculator this saving your precious CPU time for the OS and games you play, or the bloated piece of garbage getting daily micro updates we have now? Likewise with Ventrilo vs Discord for voice chat.

Only thing to point out here is accounting doesn't have much more difficult math classes. But Phil wouldn't be able to last since you have tons of rules to follow with accounting and Phil would give up instantly

Well, funny you point that out. Default Business degrees require accountancy basics since bookkeeping is a must in owning a business. It is among the most difficult in the business degree-work for most. But people who are going to work in places giving out loans, they get degrees in finance or less well favored business degrees with focuses on Finance. This lets you take some fluffy memorization heavy but math and bookkeeping absent courses.
