Most transfer students into, e.g., T6 schools where a substantial majority of people have no difficulty obtaining a summer associate position or post-graduate employment have a perfectly fine time. Everyone is relaxed because everyone has theirs. But when there are fewer jobs to be had, then transfer students are viewed as "taking jobs away" from homegrown students, and resentment emerges.
Those damn transfers need to go back to where they came from.

Another possibility is that many fine IRL people are complete shits on the internet.
I mean I hope I'm better than this IRL anyway.

Haven't been on TLS much, clicked on it through "View New Posts" and neglected to notice Pollito's time stamp. Whoops.
That's said, don't you have better things to do than call out a 10-day necro?
