Personally, I do not want my future doctors, airline pilots or lawyers to have been raised by Chat GPT + a dozen COVID infections, but that's just me!!

It’s all just very like when they changed failing grades from F to E at my middle school. As if you no longer will register what that means 🥲

The worst part is when places ghost or have a no response means no policy, or they send you a rejection and it’s three paragraphs of “don’t give up writing”.

If it’s an actual person emailing me I feel different, but when it’s a form letter… one sentence saying no is fine/preferred.

I also feel like aiming for realism over craft can make movies a lot less fun (depending on execution). I actually do want the protagonist to spit out something funny while they’re bleeding out in an action movie, and not whisper gasp ow that hurts.

Furiously googling gay rights before breaking up with the situationship

Worth remembering: some of the most horrific policies in history were enacted through “proper” legal processes. The Nuremberg Laws were passed by a legislature. Jim Crow was law. Apartheid was law.
