You will never be able to convince me otherwise and I can't prove it but drunk Dean Winchester absolutely listens to early 2010's White Girl Music and Sam and Cas are just, like, forced to witness it and his denial about it the day after
To myself, raised in an environment that glorified and romanticized restriction and suffering:
There is no victory in skipping dinner, or lunch, or breakfast, or morning coffee, or dessert.
There is no victory in refusing heaters and air conditioners and fans and heated blankets.
There is no victory in denying yourself sleep, or showers, or movement, or water, or a comfortable bed, or taking the elevator vs. the stairs.
There is no victory in refusing pain meds and heating pads and ice packs and medical help.
There is no victory in punishing yourself needlessly, in telling yourself that this pain you feel is because you are bad to the core and deserve it.
There is no victory in choking back your laughter and your tears, to keep an imagined equilibrium of safety that is really just a dry, cracked, empty, endless emotional desert.
You are here. You are in this body, and this body is yours. You deserve good things. You are alive, and that is messy and loud, and messy and loud are okay.
It’s okay to live abundantly. It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to indulge. This paralysis of self-punishment, self-restriction, self-loathing is not healthy or good for you.

My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.
You know what truly gets me about Project Hail Mary, is the fact that we as humans are so scared of being the only thing alive in this universe that we wrote a book about finding an alien life form, vastly different from our own and we had our Character make friends with it. To the point that he effectively sacrifices himself to save him.
Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.
I’m really starting to think you people don’t understand what university is for. You’re buying the accreditation that you can do these things. It doesn’t matter how you do them.
I can assure you if you're going to school to be an xray tech or a surgical assistant it does very much matter how you do the stuff your accreditation says you can do. We aren't all business majors.
Yes, but you actually can’t do an X-ray without an X-ray machine and you can’t do surgery without scalpels. We already rely on technology for everything. Offloading cognitive tasks just frees us up to do more. If you can do your job with chatgpt, but can’t without, you can still do your job. I’m sure you would find university much much harder without access to google or the internet too.
Do you think scalpels are magic and do a little song and dance and perform the surgery themselves like Beauty and the Beast characters and the surgeon is there to conduct the background music
What do you think will happen when your employer, who hired you because they saw you have a certificate to say that you have specific skills and knowledge, starts expecting you to have and use those skills and knowledge and you can't because you think a university degree is just a piece of paper that you buy
"Offloading cognitive tasks just frees us up to do more"
When you're in school, the cognitive tasks are there for the explicit purpose of being brain exercises. It's weightlifting. It is FOR building your mental muscles and making you a stronger thinker and planner. "Offloading the cognitive tasks", then, is just Not Doing The Weightlifting. What happens when you pay for your gym membership and just stand around messing around on your phone? Nothing. Nothing happens. Just money leaving your wallet. Nothing else.
Using AI is a short term pleasure that is going to fuck you over in the long term, and by the time you realize that you didn't build the necessary muscles you need for the cognitive tasks required of your ACTUAL JOB (or, like, adult life in general), it's going to be too late to do anything about it... except going back and doing the real work all over again to get you up to speed.
And if your response as a college student is "Ugh i'm already good at this though, i don't need the practice" -- sweetie, you have no idea how good at it you could be though. If you're good at it now but you keep working on it, you're going to ASTONISH yourself in a couple years with how good at it you can get. I was a good writer when I was in college; I am an ASTRONOMICALLY better writer now, because I put in the work. But you have to lift the weights and build your muscles to get there, even when it's tedious. There aren't any shortcuts for this. You can be content with your own mediocrity, or you can believe that you're capable of growing towards brilliance. Which one will you choose, mediocrity or brilliance? You get to pick right now.
I’m a Surgical Assistant and that ChatGPT stan pissed me off so I’ll use my job as an example. 90% of our job as surgical assists comes down to memorizing the names and usages of the thousands of unique instruments and equipment and sutures involved in surgery as well as having the critical thinking skills to anticipate the needs and expectations of the surgeons we work with. That’s a “cognitive load” that cannot be pawned off on a computer. If I relied on ChatGPT to tell me what instruments to have ready for a case, it would create a composite of what the most likely instruments to be used in a given surgery and assuming that it’s even accurate, it would be effectively useless if my surgeon didn’t use any of those because each doctor is different. Surgeons get pissed off if you give them the wrong diameter size suture, so why would I rely on a soulless algorithm to tell me what my surgeon wants? And if I’m not figuring out for myself what they may need based off my own learning and not machine learning then why am I even there? There’s a reason robotic surgery still requires a surgical assistant and a surgeon to operate the robot, technology is an easement not a replacement for human labor and in college learning is the labor you should be doing.
A common thread with ChatGPT simps seems to be that they truly believe all labor is as easy as their cushy middle management jobs in the tech industry. “Buying an accreditation” might work there but can you imagine someone in the medical field not actually knowing the subject they’re licensed or accredited to know? I’ll give you a hint: the word we typically use is malpractice.
Genuinely FUCK AI it's made some students so lazy. I'm finishing me degree now, my 10,000 word dissertation that's only a fraction of a MA diss or a PHd thesis, if you use AI for an undergrad, don't consider going above that. You will probably not be able to do it. This degree lays the ground work for all later development, and if AI wrote your papers then not only will they catch you out for it, but you are gaining nothing from a £9250 per year course.

HEY GUYS
I need some help if any of yous can!
If any of you know any literature on modern Cults (Peoples Temple Manson family ect....) CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW??????
It's my dissertation topic and if anyone has any recs I'd be veryyy thankful!!
Honestly “thanks I hate it” is one of the funniest phrases in the English language
i one time told my italian professor “grazie lo detesto” and she lost her shit, so it’s not just english
“¡Gracias! ¡Lo odio!”
“Danke, ich hasse es.”
“Merci, je déteste”
Tak, jeg hader det.
Bedankt, ik haat het.
Спасибо! Я это ненавижу.

This is actually a lot harder to translate than I thought because we don’t use “hate” the same way like English does. Yes, there’s an overlap for sure, but the English “hate” is a lot wider in meanings than the Lithuanian “nekenčiu”.
Moreover, the whole “verb+it” construction sounds clumsy in Lithuanian except for very specific cases.
I saw the Russian above and it also sounds suuuuper unnatural, idk. And I don’t speak other Slavic languages, but I have a suspicion this is a common theme in the Balto-Slavic family.
I’m sadly not a translator and I don’t know how to translate this into either of my native languages so that the phrase keeps its register, connotation and meaning. Saying “thanks, it’s complete shit” would be what I’d say myself if I wanted to say it in Lithuanian, but this loses so much of the flavor the original phrase has.
I don’t know if other people had this issue in their languages. I want to consult some people who are smarter than me xD see what they think.
For now, have the Russian:
Спасибо, это ужасно
Soasibo, eto uzhasno
Thanks, that’s terrible
And the direct Lithuanian translation:
Ačiū, nekenčiu to
Achoo, nekenchoo toh
I would like to second @svperluminous ’ point for German. I’ve seen “Danke, ich hasse es”, it does get used like that on the internet by now, but it’s clunky, actually, for the reasons outlined above.
(They ignored this when they internationalised the McDonald’s “I’m loving it” slogan and “ich liebe es” was such an unnatural, clearly American shit phrase - wait, actually very fitting for McDonald’s commercials 😬)
I’d rather SAY (out loud, IRL) something like “Danke, das ist schlimm” (Thanks, that’s awful).
Ich find ja, die eleganteste ugs. Übersetzung ist “danke, nein”
in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.
A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement
we did it! we saved the fucking whales!!!!
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is
Further info for those interested
FUCK YEAH KEEP PROTECTING THE WHALES!
