and I need a hobby that goes like this

to try and fix my back ya know?

Made a few murderbot posts that seem to resonate with the fandom so i got to find out there's a variety of tags

  • Murderbot -normal and what I use
  • Murderbot Diaries -also normal and provides clarification between the character and the series, which is respectable but i can't be arsed to go to this level of specification because I come from superhero comics
  • The Murderbot Diaries -fine. You have more free time on your hands than I do to include the "the"
  • TMBD -teenage mutant binja durtles

Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802) was a French artist known for his expressive and unconventional self-portraits. Unlike many portraitists of his time, who adhered to strict formal conventions, Ducreux infused his works with humor, exaggerated expressions, and an almost modern sense of personality.

Fuck… deep in my drafts again and found a post that start with “deep in my drafts again”. I feel like I just came across the notes of my doomed predecessor where they were making the same discoveries as me… I’m gonna turn around and the villain is going to be there already three steps ahead. Oh god!

how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:

-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of

-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."

-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.

And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.

Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.
