The use of chatgpt for writing is so widespread in higher ed, it will cause serious problems to those students when entering the workforce.

Lots of fancy stuff is written about how we just have to change the way we teach!, and how we can use chatgpt in lessons! blablabla, but it’s all ignorant of the fact that some things need to be learnt by doing them, and students can’t understand how they hurt their own learning, because they don’t know what they don’t know.

Yes: it’s the exploitation that have us kill the cows, not the actual milking. I know some people that are vegetarian but only get their products from a local farm. This is of course very expensive and not an option to many, but it would still be consistent with the moral stance against exploitation.

But if that were the argument, then you don’t need to be vegan, but vegetarian. Milking a cow doesn’t kill it.

I personally think that the animal exploitation argument is the strongest for veganism or vegetarianism, not any of the ones appealing to some naturalistic rule or that no organism should be exploited. Yes, animals provide humans a very efficient nutritional source that plants can’t give us, but a) we stopped eating the majority parts of animals that are not meat, and b) that doesn’t justify animals raised in cruelty, without any regard for their wellbeing, standing in their own feces all day and so on.

Our current scientific understanding of plants is that since they don’t have a nervous system, they can’t feel pain. And that while they react to stimuli (facing the sun for example) they don’t exhibit any form of consciousness. Unfortunately there have been more and more claims to the contrary, but not backed up by studies.

7zip doesn’t work well with win11. Read somewhere that the developer refuses to do something about it, but no idea. Went with nanazip, which is derived from 7zip

Can someone explain?

Good luck with your journey. I just came here to say that being a woman doesn’t require makeup, because you write as if that’s a requirement

It’s not weird for the British

OP can you describe some content of the book and why it changed your perspective? Otherwise why bother sharing.

Accurate summary. But I still think that Skyrim is fun, in a different way. But yeah I wish they’d go back to the actual rpg of the Elder Scrolls.

Animorphs! Loved the covers

Every year, I google whether it has returned. Losing NewsWipe / Screenwipe is such a loss. Still haven’t touched Black Mirror…

What is attention an analogy for?

If you see yourself in this meme, here’s two books for you to read:

1. “Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect” by Jonice Webb
2. “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents” by Lindsay C Gibson

The first one is specifically about how neglect can manifest itself. If you find your parents love you but you still feel empty or devoid of their affection, this might be useful. Especially good to read when you don’t buy the “depression is just genetic and it just happens to some people” narrative.

The second one is more general about different types of connection and bonding. Very useful to understand where your parents might come from and why they behave(d) like they do/did. Also helps stem the tide against the current internet’s "everyone with bad behaviour is a narcissist " theme
