I’ma keep it real with you homie…
The whole projected future of living in pods and eating bugs is a propaganda scare point from people who want to manipulate you for profit.
Any media that tries to present it as a real possibility should be held at arms length.
I had thought it was a reference to a bomb.
I was cutting slices out of an apple with a comically large Bowie knife.
My roommate said, “Hey, that looks pretty dangerous.”
I said, “Nah, bro, it’s perfectly safe.”
Somewhere around the middle of that sentence, the knife sliced through the apple and into my palm.
He had to drive me to the hospital for stitches.
I first learned how to drive on these old pickup trucks at a summer camp I worked for as a teenager.
The nice old fella who maintained the trucks (and who, not incidentally, taught me how to drive) said to do it that way and would get disappointed if you didn’t.
So, I guess it’s because I first learned it that way, but also because I don’t want to disappoint Alan (who may or may not be dead by now, I’m not sure.)
I teach Philosophy.
I need them to think for themselves, which just isn’t happening if they turn in work that isn’t theirs.
So, I’m pretty harsh on anyone using AI. Even if it’s for a discussion post, I’m reporting it to the Academic Integrity office.
This is why we have accommodations offices at colleges.
No problem giving an alternative for those who need it.
I teach at a community college. I see a lot of AI nonsense in my assignments.
So much so that I’m considering blue book exams for the fall.
Youthful rebellion transcends technology.
Is there much difference between this and, say, using a pen to drill a hole in your desk?
Background checks are usually outsourced to another company.
So just a mix and match of partial truths about multiple Ancient Greek philosophers?
I’m in no way an expert, but I would think that your insulation won’t be shedding much into the air once it’s in place.
I’d wear a mask, gloves, and long clothes if I were going to touch or move it around though.
If you live near or attend a large university, the real struggle meal is just food from free events on campus.
When I was a grad student I’d show up to every event on campus where I knew there’d be food and fill up a Tupperware or two. Didn’t matter if it was connected to my department or not.
Exactly.
Authoritarians of all stripes love to lay claim to eternity.
We don’t have to believe them though.
I teach philosophy for a living these days.
I’d probably keep doing that, but less of it.
I’d also do a lot of writing.
Make your a salami sandwich with the following steps.
People look at me sideways for using hummus as a sandwich spread, but it’s delicious.
Academia, USA.
You’re getting the exact same quality of education for introductory classes at a community college, state school, and private school.
I know because I teach the same suite of classes at all 3 as an adjunct. Same book, same syllabus, same schedule, same assignments. The only difference is the price tag, and I’m hardly alone in that.
Actually, scratch that. You’re getting a better education at the community college because the people in charge there bother to remember that I exist and treat me as an equal.
Cases where one partner decided to pass on education or career advancement make alimony appropriate, I reckon.
Someone with minimal education and a large gap in their resume is going to have trouble getting back into the workforce.
