I refused as a kid to learn Imperial, because Metric seemed obviously better and I wanted to do my part. I switched to Linux in the *mid-00s*. The LLM stans have no idea the strategic reserves of obstinancy we have collectively stockpiled.
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.
The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.
Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

The only cause the elite care about is ensuring that their set is totally immune to consequences. The Dem establishment would prefer the appearance of a more humane society, but only so far as the privilege of the upper tiers is absolute. Everything they've done for *decades* points to this.
Yup. Even if Trump's policies were both effective and popular (lolololol, I know), Trump's pardons *alone* would be ample fodder.
This weekend Trump pardoned *yet another* drug lord and *yet another* infamous scammer!
This isn't low-hanging fruit, it's fruit delivered in a holiday basket!

And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.
Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.
Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.
Duh.

I've never encountered more students who say they hate reading. Students who want to be teachers, writers, or both. I wonder if "hate" means "I have trouble reading," but I also talk with so many students who write in a genre but refuse to read in it. They can't see themselves in relation to others.

@noncompliant.bsky.social I *am* sincerely curious. I can think of some arguments one might give for why "pirating" the same copy of something that one has paid for but cannot access would be considered unethical, but none that I can think of rise above the level of strawmen.

Omar stated unequivocally that the guy who ran aid to the contras probably doesn’t care about human rights and democratic principles but the consensus Washington position was that he was above reproach on this matter and she hated him simply because he was Jewish

The funniest thing is that even before the tried to do this all with LLM nonsense it had gone way downhill in its logic, so at this point kinda might as well, like it is constantly guessing wrong anyways with no corrections possible

Turning off the AI in Gmail causes your account to no longer slit your emails up through Primary, Promotions, and Social. That's because Google is a petulant little bitch who doesn't like that you told them to fuck off with their bullshit slop scam.

I've often found mild euphoria in the opening bits of getting sick, the specific mix of feeling a bit strange and disconnected yet also more aware of my body is kinda neat, and an underappreciated aspect of getting vaccinated is getting that feeling and knowing it's *not* a virus about to go ham
