I know you're joking but that last paragraph made me throw up in my mouth a little bit

Are people really so addicted to social media that they can't use their own willpower to simply not have those apps installed?

Why can't people just compromise at a time like 10 AM instead of dying on their mutually incompatible hills?

Guys it's simple they just need to automate AI to read these papers for them to catch if AI language was used. They can automate the entire peer review process /s

Not to mention the creator of GIF prefers the JIF pronunciation.

It doesn't really matter, but I find the hard g folks have a stick up their ass about it.

I feel like half of xkcd is just knowledge-one ups on the reader. No fucking clue what ea-nasir is. Google says it's some ancient merchant from Mesopotamia. Not sure how that's humorous but I'm sure there's a niche reason the author is very smart for observing.

I haven't started laughing yet...

Someone: tries to make a profit

Lemmy: no no no kill yourself! The world should just work by everyone (other than me) doing free labor for me

I'm not the OP but was also homeschooled similarly. For me it was being culture shocked by how many different nuanced perspectives are out there. Growing up I was provided more of a black and white view and very little social interaction to teach me otherwise - until college haha.

It actually was a nice revelation realizing not everyone is so prejudiced and bigoted about everything. However, the damage was done and I still had to work a lot to undo it and "catch up" to how to normally interact. Now I'm well adjusted so it's all kinda in the past for me, but I won't do that to my kids.

Prob one of the other difficult things for me is being taught homophobia and having to learn how shitty that is and the guilt that I still live with to this day because of beliefs I used to hold. That sucks.

Does it make sense for Margot Robbie to point out what kind of accounts may be real or fake, including her own account in the example? Yes. Therefore it is a real account.

Thanks Margot!

Fr I didn't know what I was doing and tried it .. broke both of my legs and gave me a concussion.

Don't mess around with -1/12!

Yes! Enough of the "I'm doing my part meme" that isn't even real content.
