American here. Please, EU, for the world’s sake, make him fold like a flip phone!

Reminds me of the post from the cat owner who hear a noise and first reaction was, “I’m going to shove my finger so far up your little asshole!” because they thought their cat was up to mischief again only to later realize they unintentionally scarred a burglar for life.

If that’s what you need to get there, no kink shame here.

Will no one think of the children? Whenever these people say something, the best strategy is look in the opposite direction they are pointing you. In this instance, they are working to pass child-bride full-legalization. They’re definitely thinking of the children.

As long as they’re as radical the second time around, I’m game.

Most of the pope-pics I’ve seen from popes-previous were without the pope-hat. That makes me think it’s more of a passive inventory item - full effects just from possession.

This reminds me of a kid with a similar diagnosis I had when I first started teaching. He just turned 18 and came in that day “with his adult voice.” Full octave lower than usual, and wanted everyone to know it was because he just turned 18 - lasted until about lunch time. Hopefully this is a joke shirt, but I can definitely say there are people like this out there.

100% agree. I regularly use spellcheck and access encyclopedias / dictionaries to doublecheck myself. I think grammarly was a great invention. But, once it went from analyzing voice/tone/mood to fully written block text many people just assumed they didn’t have to learn to write anymore. My humble brag is that I don’t use predictive text on any device. That makes me slower than others to respond. But in my mind it means I have to think about how to articulate just a bit more and, personally, I think I read more closely because of that too.

Tell me your a white boy without saying you’re a white boy.

Love this kind of deep dive. Thank you for sharing, internet stranger.

Same! Already got fed up with google awhile back and turned everything off. Next goal is to completely de-google.

So… he’ll definitely be leaving, then?

That’s the dream. Currently debating what to do with a spare laptop and “make it a server” sounds ideal.

I still burn CDs. This whole streaming thing won’t last. Also, my back hurts…

…and had people teaching there since 1096…

But… what about negative tarrifs? That would show these weak countries!!!

…Oxford University just looming on the horizon…

Taught for a while. Last few years students went from turning in plagiarised essays with small enough tweaks to pass detection to full on LLM-written bullshit that they couldn’t even explain when asked. The turning point was when parents started defending their kids submission of AI slop, even when it would begin “As a language learning model,…”

Prolife baby uh… Definitely against eugenics What was the stance again?
