Sorry for the bad picture I kinda scrambled to get it, but yeah my prof went fully into the whole "in communism you don't own your toothbrush" stuff and then put up this slide.

I'm glad that my webcam and mic was off because I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes at that.

edit: idk why the pic is rotated and idk how to fix it

    I had a econ 101 prof who would lecture, ask a question to the class (like "do we think the curve will go up?"), no one would say anything, then he without fail would say "I see smiling, I see nodding, silence is consent" and move on. It was the weirdest shit. Got an A though.

        I know, lol, English wasn't his first language by a long shot so I don't know what exactly he meant by it but he would say 5 or 6 times a class.

          There's a similar old saying in French: "qui ne dit mot consent" (one who does not say a word consents). Obviously it shouldn't apply to sexual consent, but it's usually said in group contexts, something like if you don't speak up, other people will think you're okay with the situation.
