I really wanted the trend of super long movies to be left in the early 2000s because what do you mean One Battle After Another is nearly three hours long? People need to say no to Paul Thomas Andersen because really Magnolia proved you don't need all those minutes. Get to ✂️

Hell yes! Lemme know how the refractive index goes. We don't have them, they feel too old timey to introduce now but I'd love it for the sake of more pieces of data.

I mean yes that's definitely been a thing strongly in place since the 80s.

"Doom-spending, or purchasing nonessential items in order to cope with unpleasant feelings, is also trendy among Gen Z, Jain said."

A) I do that, it's not a Gen Z thing
B) If you want to cut down on that, maybe consider cutting down on ALL THE DOOM

I am once again mad about Chegg/StuDocu and the lot.

I just love starting my robot vacuum while I'm at work and watching its progress on the app. Is that my inner cop?

We're starting a bi-weekly meeting series for a project and I really wished the struggle we're having to find a time where we're all three teaching-heavy people are available was being noted as an obstacle to the project.

Honestly the tutoring empire is my biggest op. I genuinely don't think it helps that much if learners never learn to figure things out themselves. I'm not saying to keep the insane student:teacher ratios but without a good teacher 1:1 isn't necessarily good.

Kink does belong in pride and my kink is a highly walkable mixed used neighbourhood with plenty of trees and sidewalks wider than the road. Reliable transit and car share is available. Larger green space nearby with spaces for art and community and a latté that isn't 8 dollars.

I always dub my coop student 'boss' because that's a gender neutral authority figure and they usually find it empowering in a "healing my trauma from bad bosses" way 😂

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow.
