I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating
Reply in thread
The only problem I have with the whole "Don't be afraid to fail" thing, is that so much rides on the grades a student receives it makes it very difficult to not treat every assignment as a highly critical task which must be as close to perfect as possible. I totally agree with this professor and I believe he did the right thing by the students. The problem is the system itself.
Those who are going to outsource their work are likely to always outsource their work or take the path of least resistance. You can't moral lesson or embarrass that away, usually. But the rest of the class seems to have learned a valuable lesson, or at least learned how to cheat better.
Regardless, we need to stop having everything boil down to the grades. There's good reasons grades are important, but there are even more that are detrimental. I don't know the answer, I just know the system is broken. Maybe it's just capitalism that's broken.

ICE Suddenly Loses Key Evidence One Day After Being Sued
Sounds like a win by default for the plaintiffs, if I were the judge. Somehow, I doubt it will go that way or that easily, but in a sane or just world, any destruction of evidence, whether purposefully or by negligence (by not having the information backed up in duplicate), is a straight-up tacit admission of guilt.

FCC Votes to Nearly Double Rates for Prison Phone Calls
The cruelty is the point. GTL made money hand over fist on inmate phone calls for YEARS. I'm talking $15 for the first 3 minutes type of shit.
Fuck this and fuck everyone who backed it.

Coal Miners With Black Lung Say They Are ‘Cast Aside to Die’ Under Trump
Reply in thread
As the son of a 30-year coal miner, not reading the fine print is a prerequisite to mining. If they were worried about the finer details the majority of them wouldn't be there to begin with.

Texas Rep. Gill files Articles of Impeachment against Judge James Boasberg
The mental gymnastics these fucks do to hold one side accountable for things they wouldn't on their own side is some Biles level tumbling and flipping.
I couldn't imagine being this devoid of values.

Trump praises Mamdani after White House meeting: "I want him to do a great job"
I've got to be fucking high to read what I just read. I can't believe my eyes. "Communist! Communist! Communist!...... You know, we really have a lot of the same ideas..."

House Republicans want to strip Zohran Mamdani of citizenship, possibly deport NYC mayoral frontrunner over form omissions
Reply in thread
I think they should keep their fucking mouths shut since they haven't even been in session in over a month. Want to talk about immigration when their shitty middle manager has everyone at home because they're afraid to swear in the new Dem rep.
It's all so ridiculous it makes my head spin. This country is a horrible joke. Superpower my ass. We're going to turn into a paper tiger after all the corruption guts every institution we once held in high esteem.

Controversial ‘ICE List’ features photos and names of 100 immigration agents
Only one chode listed in my state. His LinkedIn is there as well. Trying to decide just how much I want to spam fascist under his ICE recruitment ads and his "I got a new job" post.
Fucking unbelievable. "Congrats on your new position as a brown shirt!"

Gov. JB Pritzker points to Trump inconsistencies in deployment of National Guard to Chicago
Reply in thread
Right? Fuck billionaires, but Pritzker is putting his money and his reputation on the line for his people. That's more than you can say for literally any other billionaire at the moment. I swear some people can't see nuance if it smacks them in the face.
The purity test, perfection-or-nothing mindset will the the death of progressive ideology.

Trump posts AI video of himself flying KING TRUMP jet and bombing protesters with brown liquid
I miss when Presidents were classy, or at least had a modicum of shame. We have a trailer trash President. Won't surprise me when Beast is up on cinderblocks in the driveway and Melania comes out with rollers in her hair and a marlboro between her lips.

I live in Bumfuck, WV. Quite possibly the stupidest state in the Union. Our elected representation perfectly encapsulates the constituents of the state. Moronic, incompetent, and completely unwilling to incite change for a more prosperous future.
I fucking hate it here. I can't wait to be able to move.

Trump vows to 'take a look' at Ghislaine Maxwell pardon after Supreme Court rejects case
"I'm shocked. Just shocked," he said cynically.
Does there exist a red-line which MAGA cultists, conservatives, moderates, and all the flavors of the left can agree upon? My brain says no, but my heart says maybe this could be it.
I sincerely don't see how anyone could defend this. I'm sure they'll try, though.
