@aymannadeem I typed "aym" into gmail for help spelling your name & found this: "18% hotter than the average nerd."
@aymannadeem I'm curious what the relative trends in your hotness and average nerd hotness have been since 2011.

@psobot Wow. That's just like term tuition divided by class days in term? Quick math makes that sound about right to me.
@psobot I remember at one point in first year doing a per-hour-of-class calc. Which would be ballpark $16 for me.
@psobot oh wow, crap, that was just tuition. Although I also didn't put nonclassdays in the denom.
@psobot curious what "student finances improved over time." refers to!
So many arguments on twitter. So much sarcasm and snark. So little anyone actually getting through to each other.
Replying to @Jason
@Jason @KMBTweets @shanley I'm listening to you say this, and trying to believe that you're intending to be genuine. It's really hard.
@Jason @KMBTweets @shanley Which means I think you have some leveling up to do in terms of actually *sounding* genuine, if indeed you are.
Replying to @Jason
@Jason My sense is that your recent tweets have led @nrrrdcore and others to feel like they're not respected by you. And as I said before 1/
@Jason @nrrrdcore 2/ others don't experience your intent, just your impact. If those aren't lining up, you might want to rethink your
@Jason @nrrrdcore communication strategies, because it would suggest that they're not working very well.
Replying to @Jason
@Jason @nrrrdcore It... matters. But it's not enough. At the end of the day, it comes down to how ppl feel as a result of interacting w/ you
Replying to @Jason
@Jason *nods* I get that. And it's why I'm engaging with you right now. Because I think you can do better still :)
Sometimes I want to go up to everyone in an argument and whisper "I'm on your side."
