I Am A Stick

Annual reminder that if that voice starts nagging you now is the time to give in. Really, if you want to make everyone something for the holidays now would be when you start. It takes way longer than you would think for stuff. So you better get started now if you don't want to stress over it or for stuff to be rushed to get done in time.

hey sorry. can you stand a little further back and we try again

Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.

I’m really starting to think you people don’t understand what university is for. You’re buying the accreditation that you can do these things. It doesn’t matter how you do them.

I can assure you if you're going to school to be an xray tech or a surgical assistant it does very much matter how you do the stuff your accreditation says you can do. We aren't all business majors.

Yes, but you actually can’t do an X-ray without an X-ray machine and you can’t do surgery without scalpels. We already rely on technology for everything. Offloading cognitive tasks just frees us up to do more. If you can do your job with chatgpt, but can’t without, you can still do your job. I’m sure you would find university much much harder without access to google or the internet too.

Do you think scalpels are magic and do a little song and dance and perform the surgery themselves like Beauty and the Beast characters and the surgeon is there to conduct the background music

What do you think will happen when your employer, who hired you because they saw you have a certificate to say that you have specific skills and knowledge, starts expecting you to have and use those skills and knowledge and you can't because you think a university degree is just a piece of paper that you buy

remember when teachers would tell you to fold paper hamburger or hotdog style. kind of sounds like some fake shit but just another example of burger centric american thinking

non americans in the tags doubting if this is true. you think burger is a fucking joke to us??

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

"That is Signal, the Last Follower of the Old Law."

That sounds more like a solution than a problem to me, the meeting hater

Shhhhhh, don't tell Management.

Walter white rly was like. How dare you offer to pay me for my cancer treatment, old best friend from college who holds me very dear. I’m gonna kill tons of people and ruin my whole family’s lives before I take a handout

when people say “Breaking Bad couldn’t be made anywhere else but America” they’re usually referring to how Walter White would get free health treatment but imho there’s something about Walter’s “i’ll do stuff on my own, i don’t need handouts you fuck” attitude that’s even more American

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

why are they doing this? because they loved someone so much it caused the plot to happen. Grief counts btw

ESPECIALLY a big fan of when this isn't enough to make them a good person
