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.

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 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.

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!

The guy literally shares the “source files” for his open source for his comics (krita, inkscape, etc), plus all the information about how it’s drawn. I also suspected AI but it’s likely just his style; like the use of em dashes w/ LLMs.

Too bad even with all the documentation, it’s tough to trust people now.

And with that, I make like John Galt and never see that uncle again.

Oh but don’t you want to know first which Democrat places like Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas would like? You know, those bastions of democracy.

/s, like it’s needed lol.

I wonder. People saying it isn’t VPNs aren’t necessarily wrong but I do want to say it’s likely they are using bot networks to mass create accounts and those might use IP rotation. Those IPs can come from any fucking place. I’ve only seen it from scraping operations, but I bet it’s necessary when mass operating bullshit accounts.

US proxies exist, but they’re more expensive and wouldn’t make as much sense for mass creating if your goal is just to avoid getting blocked.

Wow. I see now why experts are saying that was written by Russia, at least in part. Especially the parts clearly steered by Russian propaganda like the Nazi thing. Also 50% to the US? That’s really, really stupid.

Hmm. Neat. I didn’t mind Prop 50 mostly because it’s a one off thing. Plus we already know Rs already are more represented in the house than they should be due to gerrymandering, so it’s not like there aren’t other states to offset, lol.

I’m a little curious how this impacts CAs efforts, as I believe those were meant to be contingent on TX but with appeals existing and the timeframe, I’m not sure when or if they’ll undo what they were going to do in CA. And CAs is pretty obviously not race driven, even if it’s blatantly partisan (yet that’s legal because fuck us).

Would be really funny though if this backfires such that Ds get more gerrymandered seats overall, though, lol.

Some corporations do this with product releases. If misinformation leaks, they can narrow it down. Moreover, since no one knows for sure their info is genuine, they’re less likely to leak. It’s usually trivial things that won’t impact performance but sometimes stuff like video game endings and stuff, lol.

Helps that they tend to be square-ish, there’s a subsection of people who would notice immediately if you can’t fold perfect paper cranes from a single sheet while you’re pooping.

I think so. It’s also really feminine which is counter to the alpha male thing.
