how come there isnt a single college professor out there that realizes the address bar on chrome doubles as a google search. every time i see a professor open chrome and then type in google.com i lose 2 days off my life span

[goodsprings]

this post is making college professors mad every time i get a notification on this post and its a professor upset that theyve been Called Out i just gain back 2 days of my lifespan so keep it up, i might eventually regain all the days i lost watching yall try to figure out how to use The Internet

[cosleia]

Also people don’t seem to notice autocomplete happening so they laboriously type the whole thing even though it’s RIGHT THERE JUST HIT ENTERRRRRRR

[mixxtapej]

Bonus round: college professors not realizing the YouTube autoplay so every damn time you finish watching a video the whole class has to painstakingly watch the timer run out and then the professor is shocked when the next video starts playing

Horace 3.20

Non vides quanto moveas periclo,

Pyrrhe, Getulae catulos leanae?

Dura post paulo fugies inaudax

proelia raptor,

quum per obstantes iuvenum catervas

ibit insignem repetens Nearchum: 

grande certamen, tibi praeda cedat

maior an illi.

interim, dum tu celeres sagittas

promis, haec dentes acuit timendos, 

arbiter pugnae posuisse nudo

sub pede palmam

fertur, et leni recreate vento

sparsum odoratis humerum capillis;

qualis aut Nireus fuit, aut aquosa

raptus ab Ida. 

Do you not see, with what peril you stir up 

the cubs of the Gaetulean lionness, Pyrrhus?

A little after you will flee from battles

as a timid rapist.

When she goes through the obstructing troops of young men,

again seeking the unparalleled Nearchus: 

big contest! Whether the prize falls to you,

or a greater one to her.

Meanwhile, while you bring forth swift arrows,

she sharpens her dreadful teeth,

the judge of the fight is said to have placed the palm under his naked foot, 

and to recreate with a soft wind,

the shoulder covered in scented hairs, 

just like Nireus, or the boy, 

having been seized from watery Ida.

Horace, Ode 1.29

Iccī, beātīs nunc Arabum invidēs

gāzīs et acrem mīlitiam parās

nōn ante dēvictīs Sabaeae

rēgibus horribilīque Mēdō

nectis catēnās? quae tibi virginum

sponsō necātō barbara serviet?

puer quis ex aulā capillīs

ad cyathum statuētur unctīs,

doctus sagittās tendere Sēricās

arcū paternō? quis neget arduīs

prōnōs relābī posse rīvōs

montibus et Tiberim revertī,

cum tū coēmptōs undique nōbilis

librōs Panāetī Sōcraticam et domum

mūtāre lōrīcīs Hibērīs,

pollicitus meliōra, tendis?

Iccius, are you now jealous of the rich treasures of the Arab?

and are you training for an aggressive military action

and for the kings of Sheba, previously unconquered,

and for the horrible Mede,

are you tying chains? Which female barbarian of virgins

will be a slave to you, having killed her boyfriend?

What young boy, out of a palace,

will be stationed at the wine ladle with his hair scented with oil

having been taught to shoot Seric arrows

on his father’s bow? Who would deny that

down-flowing streams are be able to glide back up

to the steep mountains, and the Tiber to be reversed,

when you, after promising better things, are hellbent

on exchanging the books of famous Paneitius,

having be bought from every place,

and the Socratic house, with Spanish cuirasses.

Laws of Productivity, No. 1: “Get started.”

[theclonewriter-blog]

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

[queenotrera]

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

[terpsikeraunos]

because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks

[destroymales-deactivated2023032]

Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history. 

[who-am-i-hedwig]

I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like really dumb. She’d ask a ton of doubts and questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking. But the thing was that she’d almost always top the class examinations and everyone was like???? They all thought she was cheating and stuff and obviously even the teachers were very biased because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class, and she was regularly accused of cheating. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating but the whole class and teachers totally believed that she did. I’m pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks affect her. She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and she’d lag in studies because she couldn’t bring herself to ask doubts in class or ask for help from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people?? This girl endured taunts and jeers and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask such doubts for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend?? I was just, idk it just really changed me in some way.
