what's up

I post a large amount of random things, usually.

The worst part about having mental health issues is that you’re seemingly required to have a breakdown in order for people to understand how hard you were trying to hold yourself together.

I have never seen it explained so well.

Somewhere between bleeding on the bathroom floor and doing drugs till I couldn’t feel anymore, I lost myself.

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die

[frociaggina97]

i know a lot of people study just to get paid well but girl this is engineering be for fucking real take this seriously

I've also seen a sudden uptake in sentiments like "the people who are getting chatgpt to write their essays for them are the same people who would have plagiarised or bullshat or cheated some other way 5 years ago, this is no different" and

1) yeah but it's now so much easier to do it, meaning the folks who Might have done that but decided it's actually less faff to just learn the material no longer have that last layer of restraint

2a) the folks plagiarising or bullshitting are at least exposing themselves to the true material while doing so, rather than a machine's vaguely plausible hallucination, which means they're at least learning A Bit, and

2b) they Know if they're pulling something out their ass, they know that information is bullshit and will not help them in the real world, whereas chatgpt stans will not only submit that info as their work but they also tend to Believe it and therefore take bits of it with them into the wider world

and critically,

3) it was always bad to plagiarise and cheat in academia, like I'm not talking about copying your friend's standardised test in high school that's whatever I don't give a shit I'm not a cop, but academic integrity in higher education is a real issue with real consequences and always has been, whether you're submitting organic bullshit or AI slop.

I literally just listened to Oz Media read a reddit post about a guy who is like, 2 years into a Bachelor's in Nutrition who has come to the horrifying realization that, because of using ChatGPT to do all his coursework, he is 2 years into a Bachelor's in Nutrition and knows absolutely nothing about Nutrition.

And now that he's gotten to the point in the Degree where labs are starting, he's now well and truly fucked because ChatGPT can't do labs for him and he knows so little about this thing he's been going to school for 2 years for that he can't wing it.

And he can't come forward about it to his School Admin, because that level of Academic Dishonesty will definitiely bar him from continuing to attend his current school, and will likely make it so he can't attend any other school either.

So now he's stuck half way through a degree he knows nothing about, likely still owes student loan debt, and he can't come clean because he'll be barred from higher education.

I have a sinking feeling we'll see a lot more of this as using ChatGPT becomes more ubiquitous. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 5 to 10 years, there's an entire demographic of people with degrees they can't (and/or shouldn't) use because they don't actually know anything about their field.

my plan B is always suicide

My plan C is making American girl doll shoes

[ghostboyravenight-deactivated20]

I’m just saying if Daniel Radcliffe, the literal protagonist of the Harry Potter franchise since the age of ten years old, was able to disavow JK Rowling and move on from the HP universe then actually what the fuck is anyone else’s excuse. There is no one else on the planet who can say their entire childhood was HP more than that guy and he still cared about trans people more than the average tumblr user who says “we’re protesting by making all her characters queer and trans!!” like you can do better. You should do better.

[jaydove-writes]

If you want queer/trans/poc wizards, you can make OCs and write your own book. It doesn't have to be Harry Potter fanfiction.

[utilitycaster]

I'm going to *remembers suicide jokes are detrimental to my mental health* quit my job and start making shoes for American Girl Dolls

[poetsbloom]

Hiding my feelings and faking a smile

Is so much easier

Than telling you what's wrong.

Why would i try explain what's going on in my head

When i don't understand myself.

[court-of-secrets]

i love fourth wing couples because if Xaden woke up in the middle of the night to Violet dragging a dead body into their room he’d be like “Baby don’t even worry, you go shower off/ go back to bed, I’ll deal with the body.”

And if Dain woke up in the middle of the night to Sloane dragging a body into their room he’d be like “Really?” and then she would give him a look and start to deal with it but he’d sigh and be like, “No baby I’ll deal with it but you’re gonna sit on the bed and think about what you’ve done.”

The way chefs at Japanese restaurants bellow Irrashaimase! at you when you walk in like you’ve been a regular for decades is so good.

[eightyonekilograms]

Many years ago I was at a restaurant in the North End in Boston (a very Italian-American neighborhood), and at one point a guy in a leather jacket with slicked-back hair walked in, and like four people simultaneously went “Ayyyyyyyyy, Tony!”. It was a real struggle not to laugh out loud.

[renthony]

Absolutely fucking wild that YouTube and Twitch allow you to do Baldur's Gate videos showing the full gore of prying a brain out of a dude's skull, but there has to be a safe streamer mode for nudity.

Like, obviously there's a HUGE history of sex and nudity being censored harder than violence, but watching BG3 videos really shows off the divide. Yeesh.
