Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I'll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Humans run on less power than a fucking light bulb so I'm never surprised. It frustrates me, too. I'm also pretty sure AI is meant to fill in those follow up answers (e.g. find the answer from your text) but it's just not there yet due to made up nonsense-- and even then it really shouldn't be needed, especially for well read people.

    Personally, my theory is across all groups, not enough Americans get adequate sleep, water, nutrition, and (most importantly) thoughtful quiet time without work demands- including no social media, lol. Overlooking shit, misspeaking, forgetting what you just saw or read, making impulse decisions, being selfish- all symptoms when someone's needs aren't met.

  • As today's class proves, you very much can go quite a while before a single student chimes in like this. It wasn't screen sharing, but... similar. Sigh.

  • Was thinking of trying Cachy cause of Lemmy talking about it, glad you see it higher than what I previously used (Manjaro).

  • Just sounds like we're the Australia of the Social Media world. Exiled from Reddit and the rest? Check out Lemmy- we aren't the dark web, we promise!

  • Real talk, in 2016 I knew two assholes who voted for him to punk libs as a joke. So uh, kinda yeah.

  • I've seen people over rely on bad lane assist and just kinda ping pong from side to side in their lane. It's... kinda stupid.

    Also, what's the deal with the side mirror light that turns on when someone is near? My car has a small convex mirror attached to the standard one and I can see my blind spot quite clearly.

  • No, you're absolutely right, that bothered me too as someone who often makes these kinds of matrices.

  • It is common practice, which is more to the point that it's weird this teacher didn't. However, third rate instructors do exist. I've TAd for some even at a top 25 school who still just vibe-graded their classes. It's really unprofessional, but they were hired for research reasons, not instruction.

  • As others have noted, both student and teacher are kinda awful. The student for obvious reasons, but the teachers assignment and grading isn't really best practice, especially if you give a 0 when there's literally any rubric you grade to (and you want that for anything you're grading seriously).

    I teach psychology courses at University level and for written parts you really have two acceptable options. Important papers (e.g. final essays worth 20% of total grade) should always have a rubric-- these you can very much give a bad grade to a student who clearly doesn't understand what peer reviewed evidence is because evidence might be a 20pt rubric item and without it, an A drops to a C (and that's assuming everything else is perfect). Having it in writing protects you legally.

    The other, much more common assignment like a reaction piece, is mostly to check for participation in reading an assigned reading. There's usually no rubric and it's scored for completion so there isn't any subjective side to it. Quote the Bible or whatever, it's like a participation grade to encourage reading and if you have a bad take, whatever. These are usually 1% of the grade and there's usually one every week to keep up with.

    Doing anything in-between opens you up to problems, not to mention it's just unfair to students. If you follow a rubric, you almost never give a zero unless they just straight up cheated.

  • I've seen worse. Idk why I always check when one of you folks say this, I almost always regret it but I hit those comments as people were mostly bashing ICE. Lol

  • I knew a guy who made his company team building event paintball, which I think is kinda cool if they were sensitive about it, except he was one of those "alpha male" types which inherently made it uncool.

    I think my step dad had it sweet though, way back when, their team building was FPS lan parties during work hours. Totally permitted, stuff like Unreal Tournament and the like, but probably not mandatory though everyone participated including people on the spectrum (though unsure if they were formally diagnosed back then).

  • I recently did Samurai Warriors with a friend and that was a blast. Kind of a golden era for musou games. SW2 and Dynasty Warriors 5 and 6 all solid.

    I also enjoyed Gauntlet and the Metal Slug ports. I think that was PS2, at least.

  • Of these I only really played D as a preteen (when it hit 3DO) and that was creepy enough for me although my neighbor/crush liked to come to my place to play it so that's mostly how I got to know it.

    I was more into RTS and RPGs at that age, though, and frankly I found games like Eye of the Beholder 2 scary enough (plus I learned to never trust blue eyed blonde folk; they'll fucking kill you).

  • I grade papers. It really is the age of paranoia, lol.

  • Not very many accidents out in the middle of nowhere highways, although in my experience last holiday season there wasn't a single jabroni hogging the left lane. Granted, I usually drive everyone back at like 1 am, so mileage may vary.

    You're absolutely right in the middle of the city though, and the number of people who get angry at you for not going 60 on a 40 mph blvd is way higher than it should be. I got honked at and a guy swerved around me just got both of us to get stuck at the same red. Those are the people who will certainly kill pedestrians.

  • Btw, this isn't considering how they get there. Google and iOS both push some of these sources on their newsfeed apps (and probably first hits when you Google search something).

    Not to say the average person isn't brainwashed, just that the oligarchy feeds its own.

  • Hey now, they have satirical news too.

    Wait, I've been informed it's not satirical. Wtf?

  • I'm on mobile right now so I can't check the krita file itself but I was able to download it from the link OP posted (you need to click a link further down on the page that says source).

    It wouldn't be the first time someone's looks like AI, though. It's a hallmark of digital art, and AI has to have trained off something, too

  • Oh my. This is how I learned LA Taco started their own comics. Y'all should know they went from being a food site to an ICE tracking site this year. Heard an interview with the guy who made it, he's a real accidental activist but certainly found his calling!
