"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

"oh, but this course is just a distribution requirement, it's not for my major"

Does saying things that are true and that you know are true only matter when someone is giving you a little prize for it?

[galileosballs]

Tumblr doesn't like to do this kind of ethics, so I have to phrase this carefully, but it's a question of character. And a person's character is clearest when they're being asked to do the right thing even when it doesn't matter to them.

I don't want to live in a world in which doctors and lawyers and politicians just ignore the responsibility to research and verify when it's inconvenient for them. When they're busy. When they have something they'd rather be doing. The world I live in is already too full of those people in positions of power. I'll be damned if I let there be more of them.

Just finished a cross stitch of this!

slamming your knights visor down when you’re finished talking to them, like slamming the phone back on the receiver.

Turning around to leave only to turn back and lift the visor up for one last remark before slamming it down again.

brother what

[fiollaigean]

everyone meet my good friend Brother What, the tiny 13th century monk who lives in my phone and helps me with spelling. he's a little confused but he's got the spirit.

[fiollaigean]

Brother What has a wonderful steady calligraphic hand that he uses exclusively for drawing judgementally squiggly lines under words

Inspector...?

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

constantly making airy offhand comments to my preferred younger son about how he’s next in line for the throne after his brother but he still hasn’t killed my detested firstborn for me. kids these days have no fucking initiative.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I keep sending them off on “boar hunts” together and wouldn’t you know? they keep coming back after with big smiles and boar heads and the unmistakable stench of brotherly camaraderie. what sick sad days are these!
