it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

On one hand social media might be destroying the very fabric of society, on the other hand we get delightful threads like this one so who's to say it's really bad

Just leave this website where the admins hate you to join an interconnected network of websites, each with their own admins, half of which also hate you, and will loudly and directly complain about you, and then harass YOUR admin (volunteer) until one way or another you're no longer on that network.

The problem with Mastodon is that it makes you feel stupid for not knowing how it works.
That was the real hurdle Facebook and everything that came after cleared, you could just join, it didn't take any debugging or jargon. It just, worked. For a while.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

lol it’s this guy

Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

Twitter is really, really fuckin bad lately though

bluechecks forced to the top of replies and blocking doesn't do anything

mike_br @mikebr.bsky.social · 3d

in fact, twitter's biggest problem is that the mod is trying to be a poster

failing miserably at both

here's the thing about social media: it stinks and is for horses' asses. of course the people who run this place are ding dongs. does no one remember the great mastodon migration of several years ago? a thousand little tyrants bloomed and canceled each other over inscrutably baroque beefs
