@niklaskorz@rheinneckar.socialAre completely arbitrary minimum page / word count criteria still a thing in school and academia?
As a person that likes to get to the point quickly, I always fell short of these artificial requirements and yet it never affected my grades, because I said everything there is to say.
In times of LLMs, I do wonder how many students feel pressured to reach for ChatGPT just because their natural way of writing does not conform to excessive prose expectations.

@servelan@newsie.socialTrump likes to brag about firing generals who “aren’t warriors.” But on Tuesday, the real firing squad was silence. Not one clap. Not one cheer.
What happened at Quantico wasn’t just awkward. It was diagnostic. Trump’s presidency is a hollow shell propped up by applause, and when the applause disappears, so does he. 3/3

@threeofus@mstdn.social1/ C had a full on toddler meltdown last night. I spent the whole day crunching numbers to see whether we could afford to buy a house she likes. The answer was ‘possibly not’.
The thing is, she has a chunk of cash to spend, so the purchase would be ok, however we’re running at a monthly deficit. That’s ok at the moment with this buffer in the bank that’s gradually draining away, but if we spend that, then we’ll have a problem. She went ape shit when I explained that to her.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialI've been thinking about that stupid "Unified Executive" rubbish that the maga-klan likes to spout.
They argue that Art II Sect 1 sez "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." meaning that the entire executive, all of it, every bit, is carried within the human frame of the President.
OK.
That language does not admit of any possibility of delegation of any part of that executive authority to another. So if …
@spamless@mastodon.socialSo, we had we had the Chez Dallman Pecan Chicken Bok Choy again. I wanted to take my wife's picture, but she protested and said she never looks good under the glaring kitchen light. I pushed the settings button in the camera app and said wryly, "Ah, there it is: turning on 'Make My Wife Beautiful' mode!" And I pushed at the screen.
My wife cracked up. (I did too.) It worked. She likes the photo, or at least she doesn't hate it. I can't post it here, though…

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioThe pearl-clutching centrist crowd likes to imagine that shaming and shunning are the slippery slope that leads to political violence.
They have it backwards.
Shaming and shunning are the •alternative• to political violence. So is meaningful democracy. So is a free press that remains steadfastly grounded in reality. So is a judiciary that applies the law, however flawed, with actual judgement and justice.

Note that deciding it’s the wrong time to rub somebody’s nose in how incredibly wrong they were doesn’t make them any less wrong. Listening is not the same thing as accepting.
