iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.
my friends held an intervention for me to "stop asking intimidately specific questions". i tried to explain that i am just a good listener but there is apparently "a line between follow-up questions during small talk and interrogation tactics that gets crossed sometimes". turns out my curious nature is "scaring the hoes"
when i asked for examples i was told that "do you think your tendency to show appreciation through restoration is part of a greater life philosophy or is that coincidental?" and "is your communication with allied forces satellite or radar based and is it vurnerable to cyber attacks?" are apparently "inappropriate questions to ask someone you just met at a club". but i disagree. as if you wouldn't be a little bit curious about the answer? yeah that's what i thought
[ID: question by anonymous: did they answer the question though ///end ID]
the navy officer i asked about cyber attacks did answer my question very thoroughly. he also answered other questions such as "when refueling on sea, which boat is the primary course holder?" and "would switching to another government branch affect your retirement benefits?" and generally provided a lot of information over the course of a fascinating hour that as a former government employee myself i am pretty sure he should not have told me. but i also think he would have told me his social security number if i asked nicely (i didn't, I was busy learning about the tactical advantages of speedboats).
the guy obsessed with boat refurbishment that i asked about his tendency towards preservation gave me a really haunted look, said "holy fuck" and then after a moment of consideration "i think i am too drunk. i'm going home" and proceeded to leave. in my defense, it was well and truly meant as genuine curiosity and not as the attempt at psychological warfare it turned out to be. he unfortunately did not answer my question.
...he was also the catalyst for the intervention i received.
OP your friends are 100% wrong and “that person at the bar who asks you the question that makes you rethink your whole life because they Actually Listened” is a long, storied and honourable place in the pantheon of strangers you will meet. Sounds like you’re doing a bang up job, well done.
yeah, you're fine, please keep doing that, it's important work.
academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches
"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell
I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.
I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.
I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.
The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

Op made the post unrebloggable lol but I want to add that this is actually a very good way to learn any languages. Hell, I do this with my own mother tongue too
You should turn all those words into flash cards. I recommend using Anki to do so.
I feel like not enough people are kicking up a fuss about the loss of online spaces specifically for kids. Flash games, MMOs like Club Penguin, forums with human moderators who kept everything in order... all of these used to be super common and a lot of people online started out on those. Nowadays kids are diving straight into the deep end that is social media because there's nothing specifically for them anymore.
I'm not saying that bringing back kids' games and forums would magically fix the issue of online safety, but it would be heaps more helpful than banning them from social media or requiring everyone to hand over their ID to access websites.
listen it's especially important to me because i WAS a kid on the free lunch program growing up, but it's actually UNBELIEVABLE to me that there is ANYONE who isn't in favor of "kids get to eat at school no matter their household income"
i know i'm speaking to a panel of like-minded individuals here on the blue hellsite when it comes to this, but i just?? i truly don't fucking Get It???
it's just wild to me that there are actually people who AREN'T on the side of, "yeah, i want all children to have access to food at school if they need it"
like? being on the opposite side?? is straight supervillain shit??
GOD FORBID i spend $14.70 a month in taxes to make sure a child has at least one reliable meal a day (preferably two--shout out school breakfast program, those french toast sticks always fucked severely) even if that isn't the case at home
"but what if their parents can pay for it and just aren't?" then they're bad parents and that child still deserves to eat??? hello??
When I see a child being an absolute asshole and an adult publicly berating them for it, I don't think, "The parent is doing a good job by teaching their child that actions have consequences." I think, "Now I know where the child learned it."
I've worked in childcare and while it's not 1:1 (any type of parent can raise any type of kid, there's a bell curve, and we don't see the whole situation anyway) there is a... really strong correlation between a kid's behaviour and their guardians' behaviour towards them. Like you talk to their parents once and all their behaviour suddenly makes sense, and if you see them with their parents when the parents don't know you're there then all their behaviour REALLY makes sense.
Twelve year old boys who give up on anything they don't immediately don't know the answer to and yell and punch walls when they get upset sometimes have an undiagnosed learning or emotional regulation disability, but 90% of the time they have parents who snap at them when they don't immediately know how to do something and who yell when they get upset.
We learn how to treat others from how others treat us.
And the loudest example of how to behave is how the parent treats the child.
I just really wanted these next to each other
vic michaelis, the madlad that you are
I cannot stress enough, that Vic choosing to just spend a full year setting up a full force psychological assault on Sam that included FORGING A DEED TO HIS HOUSE AND MAKING HIM EAT SAND, instead of trying to win in any way was the greatest power-move I have ever seen.
Trying to explain Vic Michaelis' performance in the most recent Game Changer episode: what if Amelia Bedelia was chaotic neutral
the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"
ok but actually smthn that’s so cool about the olympics is how insanely wide the range of body types is. like put simone biles next to lebron james next to ilona maher next to katie ledecky next to sha’carri richardson. not a single one of them looks anything alike but they’re all at the absolute peak performance for their respective sports. idk i just think it’s awesome to see just how varied humans are and how no matter what body type you have, there’s some sort of sport that’s full of people who look like you <3
