Also whatever your brilliant-ass cheating scheme is, your TA has probably seen it 27 times already.
Also that thing where you go mess up the headers in an empty or irrelevant file and pretend your homework got corrupted to buy yourself an extra day was invented pretty much at the same time as electronic homework submission.
Also your mileage will vary depending on the book/edition, but a lot of times a “new edition” of a textbook is just a transparent cash grab by the publisher and is 99% the same material with different page numbers, so it’s worth asking the prof/a TA if the previous edition is pretty much the same. You can generally get “outdated” editions of a textbook for startlingly little money. Like I’m talking sub-$5 for a book that’s $140 new sometimes.
When I was a TA for a gigantic intro class they’d just released a new edition of the book we used but they’d only sent us two desk copies (publishers send free copies to professors who teach out of their textbooks), and the class was run by a professor and three TAs, so the TAs all had to share one copy of the new edition and taught out of the old edition 90% of the time. They’d only changed one chapter, so the professor scanned that one chapter to PDF and we handed it out to anyone with the old edition.
We also had, for some reason, like five boxes of the old edition under a desk in the department office and gave them out to anyone who would take them. You can hardly give old editions of textbooks away.
Having at least a few hours of sleep between all that shit you studied and your test will get better results than pulling an all nighter to study like 4 more hours. First of all, your brain sucks balls at information storage and retrieval when you’re exhausted. And second of all, sleep is when your brain organizes all the new info you picked up, so you will actually remember more of what you studied after you’ve slept.
I don’t want to have a child because I don’t want to give birth or raise a child. Housing is not an issue. Finances are not an issue. I just have zero desire to have children.
So if I get pregnant and I don’t want to be, your solution is… make sure I have housing and plenty of money? So I can afford to comfortably raise a child I do not want and have never wanted?
Getting banned from a subreddit is slavery but forcing women to give birth and raise children is not???
“Making judgements based on observation of your behavior” is not “assuming and jumping to conclusions”.
If you don’t want people to think you’re a hypersensitive asshole, step one is to try not acting like a hypersensitive asshole.
A lot of my beefs are just that lemmy doesn’t have the critical mass of people that other platforms do. Like, if I want to know why tf I just drove past 8 fire trucks, or what just exploded (it was a transformer. It was always a transformer. Except that one time it was A WHOLE BLOCK due to a gas leak) I still have to go to my city’s subreddit or the local fire department’s twitter.
My biggest beef is that some people are just posting links to any crapass article they find that might be related to the community’s topic in a misguided attempt to get it to be more active. Yes, having more content can encourage people to engage more, but the content has to be not garbage. 90% of the content on the kbin scifi community is the same account posting shitty articles from garbage-tier sites like Screenrant that get zero comments and like two upvotes. I get what they’re trying to do, but this is not the way.
I saw this and immediately wanted to own one because I like retro tech and the buttons look satisfying, so I went over to ebay and… they sell for between $150 and $300.
Oh well. :(

My middle school required all shirts to be tucked in and they meant ALL SHIRTS. They went around making kids tuck in sweatshirts. It was dumb. And also racist because it was the 90s and the rule was made in response to baggy clothing being popular especially amongst black kids, so they considered large untucked shirts to be gang related.
I switched from Hey to Onmail because it’s basically Hey without the douchey CEO. Also I was an early onmail adopter so I have my first name for an email.
It has a free tier but I pay for it. I switched away from gmail because I wanted my email to be a service I’m the customer of that I pay for, rather than me being the product.
I don’t even like Dicks cos I don’t eat burgers but I do like talking about eating bags of Dicks.
Sometimes I pick something arbitrary to look forward to. Like, make a reservation at a restaurant with great desserts for 3 weeks out or something and look forward to that. Or decide I’m gonna be excited about Amazon announcing new hardware in September because maybe we’ll get more kindles with USB C charging.
I’m super hyped for Pikmin 4 coming out on Friday. Nintendo basically can’t miss with Pikmin games so I have no doubt it’ll be excellent, and I just replayed the first three.
Yeah I did a free trial, tore through the 100 free searches in like a week so I’d need over 300 to get through a month, and I refuse to pay $25/month.
I really liked it while it lasted but I don’t $25/month like it.
I can believe it. My apartment is wired dumb as shit, basically the entire place except appliances and the bathrooms is one circuit. Found THAT out when I tried to plug in an iron when the AC was on.
Nah. Grew up with a gas oven, have only had electric since leaving my parents’ house, stuff tastes the same. TBH most people prefer electric ovens because they heat more evenly.
I got a smartwatch early in the pandemic because time stopped having any meaning and I started missing meetings all the time because I’d go do something not at my desk and then forget I had a meeting until I was super late. Also I had to set up reminders to do normal shit (eat lunch, walk dog, feed dog) because otherwise I’d forget. I tried doing it with reminders on my phone but then I’d set my phone down five feet away and forget.
Basically I have a smartwatch because my brain is broken and I need an electronic device strapped to me to nag me to behave like a human being. :(
I love wireless headphones because I’m the specific flavor of clumsy that was catching my headphone cable on drawer pulls and doorknobs like 3x a week. I still have good wired headphones I use for serious music listening, but for most day to day stuff I went wireless and they honestly have lasted longer than a lot of my wired earbuds because I am such a shambling disaster.
I know people who worked on Bixby and the one thing they have in common is they all hate Bixby and think it’s garbage.
Do you guys have ghost kitchens over there? Because there are several dead-seeming restaurants in my neighborhood that are actually just ten different restaurants on door dash and never appear to have actual customers because they just have delivery people running in and out.
