I would die for Tessa. I would find her 200 toothbrushes.

[crowcaws]

So it looks like Tessa has been using these veggietales toothbrushes for ages, but has misplaced the stash.

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

oh my god I just looked at the letter for my doctor that I just got after my x-ray and uuh I most likely have rheumatoid arthritis. that's. well. huh. the point of getting x-rays was basically to rule that out because the blood results didn't show it (seronegative I think that's called?) but I've been having pain for like 15 years and my last x-ray was like 13 years ago soo my GP just wanted to make sure.

so that's. something. I guess.

[running-in-the-dark]

Been thinking about it more, and it's just very strange to suddenly have a probable diagnosis? After 15 years of being in pain and everyone basically going oh well, this one test I ran didn't show anything, soo have you considered that it is just your mental illness?

On the one hand it feels pretty great to just have something concrete to go on for the first time. On the other, it's been so long that I feel like - even though there's literal evidence on an actual x-ray - what if I don't even actually have any symptoms. What if it's just laziness. What if I just don't want to work (and do my hobbies and have fun and basically have any sort of life). What if there's literally nothing wrong and I am just a big dumb baby who's crying over nothing.

It's gonna take some time to get used to it. (after I have it confirmed by my GP and/or a rheumatologist, if I manage to find one)

Also after only a few minutes of reading stuff about this earlier, I am pretty upset that no one bothered to do any more in depth testing way back when this all started. Apparently if you get treatment early enough it can stop more of the joints getting damaged. Which is totally awesome and cool because I was dismissed for years and now there IS visible damage in my hands and feet (and maybe more, who knows). Just kinda sucks to think about!

ur future nurse is using chapgpt to glide thru school u better take care of urself

[lucyaudley]

Yep. This is terrifying. I’ve caught nursing majors, engineering majors, architecture majors relying on ChatGPT to do their homework. These are people who need to know their field well to ensure people don’t die and they’re letting a glorified algorithm cheat them through school. It’s so dangerous

hey. hi. I work in academia. and there are a lot of student-age folks on this site.

don't do this. don't use genAI. even if your professors give you permission. even if they ask for it or suggest it. if they do anything short of directly requiring it (and I weep, because I've already seen assignments that require it) don't touch that crap. if they do require it, stick it to them. be as maliciously compliant as possible. be a nightmare.

I know it might sound easier right now -- just plug in your assignment and get the answers. you don't care about this class anyway, it's not for your major, you don't see the value of the assignment.

but for your own sake, for the sake of your education and mind, and for the sake of the future world we want to have: learn the stuff. you are not as stupid as the corporate bizzaro kings who want to rule the world think you are, so don't give them reasons to believe it.

and odds are good genAI is gonna give you corrupted info anyway -- more and moreso as the machines cannibalize themselves.

just don't do it. not even "I just do it for XYZ--" no. stop. there is no valid use of generative AI, and even using it for memes or lolz feeds the system and directly feeds the pockets of the people who want to replace you anyway.

Rage reblogging this. Yesterday i got into an argument with one of my college friends who is using chatGPT to do all her work. We're psychology students. The whole group chat laughed my arguments off as if they didn't matter because "she's an artist, of course she's anti-AI" and i had to deal with it. This is a warning. If your therapist graduated in 2023/2024, ask about their opinions on chatGPT. They might lie to you if you ask "did you use it to graduate" directly, but try to make jokes about it and play it cool. If they're into it, DROP OFF. FIND A NEW ONE. Do not trust your brain to someone who didn't bother to use theirs.

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

[mothnem]

Keep writing about your crush Teenaged Girl. About your clothes, and how that other girl wore the same dress as you. Paint me a picture of what you were like.

[running-in-the-dark]

I had to get x-rays done of my hands and feet, and I just think it's so funny how being told to put your hands down on a flat surface just instantly makes you forget how to do that (or maybe that's just me, that's very possible too)

The feet weren't as bad, I guess since they're pretty used to standing on the ground anyway.
