homeschooling in the US needs to be regulated but this is one of those conversations that immediately gets crushed by extremist conservatives and even well-meaning liberals will pipe up to be like "well some homeschooling is good!" when that's absolutely not relevant. regulation will not change anything for the homeschooling families who are serious about their children's education. the people who need to be regulated are the fringe extremists

#homeschool recovery #other #to add: 1. extremists are not a minority in this movement and 2. 'fringe extremists' are not the only group capable of and likely to inflic #harm on their children/students. I've come to realize nearly all homeschooling is substantively neglectful if not also actively abusive

“Imagine what it would look like if ChatGPT were a lossless algorithm. If that were the case, it would always answer questions by providing a verbatim quote from a relevant Web page. We would probably regard the software as only a slight improvement over a conventional search engine, and be less impressed by it. The fact that ChatGPT rephrases material from the Web instead of quoting it word for word makes it seem like a student expressing ideas in her own words, rather than simply regurgitating what she’s read; it creates the illusion that ChatGPT understands the material. In human students, rote memorization isn’t an indicator of genuine learning, so ChatGPT’s inability to produce exact quotes from Web pages is precisely what makes us think that it has learned something. When we’re dealing with sequences of words, lossy compression looks smarter than lossless compression.”

— Ted Chiang’s essay about ChatGPT is required reading

Sorry, I don't make the rules: over-emphasis on religious celibacy is always going to make a man a little bit more desirable. Playing hard to get on an institutional scale.

gif makers use the same footage for a gif but they all come out completely different. it shows how everyone’s views on things are different and i think that’s beautiful. shout out to all the gif makers and their beautiful creative minds and their wonderful talents 💗

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#other #tired of contemporary songwriters exclusively drawing on the same dried-up well of 'underdog' rich person struggles smh #we can't let shooting a man in reno just to watch him die become a lost art

genuinely so tired of the male love interest in every m/f romance being the most hugelarge tallman to ever growth spurt. I need to see some women swooning over little five foot five rat dudes who need to be tucked in their gf's pocket lest they blow away like a napkin in the wind.

#other #hggghhh exactly so sick of getting the same cringe walking stereotype every fucking story. please sir a crumb of variety #make het romance unboring again
