      I stopped reading after I read this at the beginning of the second paragraph:

        I agree with Karel Čapek on this.

        What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? --- The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

          A decade! In less than a decade I got a PhD in CS, never mind an ordinary degree!

          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

              Interesting perspective. I compressed my four years of study into five years.

                You probably tried to ZIP a RAR archive. It happens to the best of us. ;P

                  0. You spend more than 4 years to get a CS degree...

                    Actually, that's the #1 sign that you're meant to be a clickbait drivel writer. Lo and behold...

                    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                      In one night, I came home drunk and got the third degree.
