More of you need to learn about these ☝️
I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird
If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals
Mental illness is Off-putting. Trauma and stress make people hard to be around. There are no perfect victims. If your framework for someone under pressure are people who cry photogenically at home in the bathroom or at night when everyone else is asleep and then wake up and act like they're fine then you will fail to recognize it when your coworker who's normally really nice suddenly blows up on someone for leaving forks in the company sink.
Everyone is going through shit. And it doesn't make it okay for them to treat others badly, but it also sometimes makes it difficult for them to recognize that they're treating you badly, like the person on the phone with 9-11 who no longer realizes that he's telling the operator about his day and not answering questions. When your friend of ten years who has a new boyfriend suddenly starts being a massive bitch to you about your weight maybe she's just being a cunt, or maybe she's internalized some bullshit. You don't have to take that, but you Can go "Hey, what the fuck?" And that is often more helpful than you realize. It is easy to assume that someone who does something cruel is acting with intent, but especially in cases where someone's behavior changed in a short span of time, they aren't, any more than the person who is convinced the beanbag chair is going to fix them.
You don't have to give people endless chances. But you should give them at least one chance. Because on your worst week, it's going to be you crying at your friend's birthday party because she ran out of chili before you got to have some, and you're going to want some grace for yourself.
All of this and also, sometimes you just cannot control your reaction even if it’s harmful or mean. Which also doesn’t make it acceptable to treat people poorly, but it does tie into the give people a second or third chance and communicate before deciding they’re just terrible now
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
Petition to DC to add the little bat ears to the speech bubble everytime someone imitates Batman
kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it
"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?
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.
in addition to all of the above, there are some jobs which set you up as an authority in your field, at least compared to someone who doesn't have the education or experience.
most often, these jobs require licensure and/or involvement in a professional organisation, like doctors, lawyers, accountants and others. that license, and often letters after your name, signify to the public that you've got the required knowledge and experience to present yourself as an authority on a topic.
so, a cardiologist is presenting themselves as an authority on medical matters relating to the heart. a patent attorney is presenting themselves as an authority on a specific area of intellectual property law. a cpa is presenting themselves as an authority on certain financial matters, usually accounting, auditing, and/or taxation.
this is backed up by the license given by the licensing group where a person lives. essentially, your state, province, country, whoever is issuing the license is saying 'we've vetted this person's credentials and they're someone whose advice you can trust.'
if you're going through school and getting by with consulting ai constantly, how can i, as a person with no knowledge or experience in the field, possibly trust you to advise me? how will i know if you're telling me something real or something hallucinated by ai? how will i even know you did it in the first place? maybe your answer is a gleeful, 'you won't.'
you're right, i won't. you'll keep being right up until the moment my house falls down because you didn't bother to do the thinking in your architectural courses, or the math equations in your construction degree, and let ai pass the class for you.
if you do not gain the knowledge yourself, your authority will fail your clients. and when that happens—and if you're relying on ai for schoolwork, it will happen—they'll be in a position to sue you. they will quite possibly be successful. and there goes your professional reputation. it doesn't seem like a big deal, but losing your license or certification, or having it suspended or any other disciplinary action is often a matter of public record, because people who seek out advice from licensed professionals generally have the right to know the character of the professional they're using. so even one instance of a poor outcome, depending on how catastrophic, could end an entire career path. a lot of this stuff isn't just 'oh, i'll pick it up on the job,' because the degree teaches you the thinking framework that your colleagues will use. and if you don't do the work, you can't build the frame.
all that time you spent not working towards the knowledge in school will come back to bite you. that is what character is for.
Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.
Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.
No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.
He didn't do it.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
