Since people are getting into Hannibal again, I feel like this never got the attention it deserved.

BREAKING NEWS: screenshots from your phone not an appropriate format for submitting work in college classes.

[chaotic-archaeologist]

#i’ve had a number of students do their writing assignments in their phone’s Notes app#probably more than i’m aware of because i only find out about it when this results in tech problems they’re unable to navigate#i thought THAT was buckwild#but SCREENSHOTS of their phone is another level

This was screenshots of a notes app. For a research paper outline.

rb'ing with these tags because its not that hard to take things seriously

I help people at the library with assignments (and printing other important documents) all the time and you must understand that people simply don't understand that it is unprofessional or even why it would be. And the stakes out here are higher - if I had a dollar for every person I completely failed to convince that a screenshot of their resume is not the same thing as a file, I would be very rich.

I work at the IT help desk at a university and I have to agree with prev - especially since the majority of students are young people who have basically just hopped from high school (where things are likely much more structured and spellee out) to this next level of education where suddenly they have all this freedom and are often sort of expected to just figure it out (or even already know things). It's part of why I personally struggled so much during my first attempt at college. People won't know things if they aren't taught them.

Also fwiw I asked a couple of our student workers if they had ever done this or know anyone who has. They both said no and were very confused by the question. Not saying it doesn't happen since obviously this is an incredibly small sample size, but it does make me curious about why this might be prevalent in some places but not others.

@nerdfromtheburgh my classes in the fall are for incoming freshmen and one of the specific goals of the program I teach for is to help new students adjust to the very different environment of college. Part of that is teaching them "soft skills" like time management, how to email an instructor, how to set up file storage for your readings so you can find them later, how to use the library catalog, taking advantage of events on campus, etc.

However, the class I'm teaching right now is entirely online, and I think that's partly the issue of where this is coming from. Online school (for both students and instructors) tends to be much more loosey-goosey, and I get far more students phoning it in than in my 30 person small group classes in the fall.

Yes, hi, you also cannot email me about an assignment that was due THREE WEEKS AGO that you are just now turning in a full week after the last day of classes and EIGHT HOURS BEFORE GRADES ARE DUE with the sign off "thank you for your flexibility." Especially if your submission is a Google Drive link you haven't even given me access to view.

This was the first email this student has ever sent me, btw.

people debate about whether wojaks carry fascism within them inherently or not, and yknow, maybe there's something to be said about how symbols work etc, and then you see a communist make a meme that features the one that's drooling with a dent in his head to represent someone who is incorrect, and you just kind of take a pause and ask yourself what the fuck is wrong with everybody

[maxxie-or-smth]

you've met me at a very "yeah i'm trying to work on that" time in my life

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

It's a moral imperative that we write more sex scenes which are

Weird

I want a video game with realistic dick and balls physics not for any prurient reason, but... okay, so you know how in some games with boob physics, there's a palpable delay after a character model is instantiated before physics start to apply to the boobs, so it's like *pop* ... *FWOMP*? I want to see the cock version of that. Penis-having character spawns in, there's a beat, then the physics engine tries to play catch-up and applies a full second of gravitational acceleration to their junk all at once and they just randomly start helicoptering.

I’d die on the hill that “stranger danger” is a deeply unhelpful mentality to have. “Ooooh everyone is out to get me they’re all gonna perpetrate harm that’s actually more likely to come from someone I already know. I better never talk to anyone in my community who I don’t already know, just to be safe. I’m sure there are no other biases interwoven with this mentality” like oh my god human traffickers do not just randomly spawn in every parking lot. You don’t have to go solo hitchhiking across the country but you also don’t have to live in fear that every guy on the street is the knife man who’s gonna get you. Like have situational awareness, yeah. But most of the time the guy on the street is not knife man he’s actually just a guy on the street and he’s probably pretty chill, and you’re driving yourself crazy by living in a constant state of unnecessary fear.
