academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

[medusadyke]

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

You can read more about what dark patterns are and how to spot them here.

[ralfmaximus]

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.

[dailymanners]

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.

"Tu es moi" ("You are me") and "Tuez moi" ("Kill me", 2nd person plural, command) sound eerily similar.

I'm currently busy with college so my response will be slow. So, sorry in advance.

More questions and discussions could be done privately! Please be nice and respectful...

The story why I need em mons will be put under the more so peeps that don't wanna read it don't have to!

To keep a long story short, I live in a mold invested house with parents that won't cooperate with each other and we're in massive debt

One of them sold my information for money and one is trying to pay for my damn hell expensive college fees but with a salary of a driver. They're not abusive and neglectful anymore but, it left scars that are still healing a bunch.

We're on better terms but, it's still a problem thing for me to deal with cause I depend on them, still.

I survived college by the motto "Fuck it we ball" and literally used nothing but my trusty tablet and ibis paint where I should be using adobe or any fancy apps that they actually need you to use.

The problem is, I don't trust both of my parents, regardless where they stand right now. I've dealt with money issues since 2024 and I've dealt with them way longer.

I'm trying to make extra mons to feed me, my dog and try my best to have or pay things that I need. Like helping for college fees or get laptop for future j*b.

You don't have to help me if you can't.

but if you have some to spare, I would really appreciate the help..

rip clay terran you would've LOVED project hail mary and the artemis ii launch. like guys this is happening in the year of apollo justice!! he probably made apollo rewatch phm with him multiple times (and they probably cried over rocky and grace). they probably stayed up late together watching the launch. when clay accepted that mission he probably thought of ryland grace and how to be brave. i am so unwell about this
