An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns
If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

I haven't seen anyone talk about this specifically, so here's a tip. Our jawline is naturally angled, so when we look up, it usually takes on a more horizontal shape.
Since human anatomy is crazy varied, the level of inclination changes from person to person. Enjoy studying your friends' jawlines!

if youre calling paypros and looking for a talking point to use as a jumping off point, this is a great angle to go for!
alongside just wasting their time, hammer the idea that their actions are LOSING them money!

I know it's more about clogging their phone lines but I also feel like telling them their stupid policies might prevent (or HAVE prevented) you from getting certain Black Friday deals and that you feel forced to seek other payment methods MIGHT be a good angle for this point in time specifically

I'm honestly surprised that with all this renewed interest in the Wizard of Oz that nobody's tried to do a thing with Ozma recently, but I guess studios just assume mainstream audiences are only familiar with things from the 1939 movie

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.
They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.
