That’s your specialty, given you live in the slums of Washington D.C.

Wasn’t even talking to you, can’t simply ignore me as you were asked to by the moderators. Note: Do you know how to use the ignore tab?

Can’t have @Seven receive all the attention, oh no god forbid. You have to tug my coat every time. Have no one outside of this forum, have to hold yourself in high importance and draw attention to yourself. No one cares…typical Squidward.

Now let me finish my back 9.

@Fr3sh

As the promoter of this bout (Nomuken vs Seven), can you please inform Bjerkness aka Squidward, not to interfere before the weight in. Thank you.

Don’t go crying for the mods now. And the one you’re clearly messaging on the side because you can’t take the heat shouldn’t be a mod anyway, because he’s a roid raged conspiracy theorist who holds grudges. He lives in an alternate reality. His entire existence is trans. While on the other hand, you’re insulting the family of forum members. At least keep it within range, brah. Otherwise you just look silly. Now please be warned by a serious mod for insulting Andries’ mother right before Mother’s Day. I will wait patiently.

You’re out of control, you were asked nicely to simply ignore me and behave.

so just be healthy, that's the message.

and in the meantime they are about to defund medicare, they don't take a single step towards universal healthcare that exists in every single 1st world country besides murica, and they are also dismantling federal education and threaten schools with stopping financing if they don't push maga propaganda. this will solve everything.

non paywall link. thanks for sharing, will read it later
It's kind of global phenomenon though. Friday morning I was catching up with a fintech prof in Singapore who has sold best-selling Penguin books, etc., who loves teaching.

But she’s been pulled into a lot of hybrid MBA programs where the seemingly brightest students, who respond and ask good questions immediately, and are frequently enrolled from mainland China. Unlike fully remote classes, she does hybrid ones so she does get to see these students in person during the semester. But none of them are like their online personas. Unresponsive. Unable to answer questions. No language issues. She’s 100% convinced they’re all AI frauding their way through the motions.

She’s another example of a great professor who is leaving the profession because it’s no longer rewarding for her. Complete brain drain.

And then of course at mid-tier schools, we have the faculty being forced to perform Blade-Runner-like bot-or-not challenges on their enrolled students who are quite often just fake bots collecting financial aid:

I mean...

'Ask me anything'> OK, chatgpt. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

i know a story from a hungarian university. a few years ago they had a group of chinese students. a hungarian lobbyist/mediator represented them. he said that he could bring the same amount of students every year. imagine a group of 18-19 year old chinese students, ~25 people, they all had wealthy parents, they all said they wanted a european bsc degree in economics, but they wanted it quick: instead of the usual 7 semesters, they agreed to have more classes per week, and they wanted to get it done in 2 semesters. :baus: the rector of the university told them to fuck off at first, then they said they'll pay the full fee for the whole program, plus some additional fees for the flexibility. the rector said fuck it, why not, give it a go, but it couldn't be done in a single year, it took 3 semesters to get them to the final exam. the written assignments were from acceptable to very good, but during the classes most students remained unresponsive. their lobbyist wanted the final exams to be made either online or substituted by written assignments. rector told them to not push it. 12 of the group failed their final exam as it turned out that they barely spoke any english and couldn't understand the most basic questions. it was a mess. their lobbyist never returned again lol, he probably tried his luck at another university

"For folks listening right now, it's your patriotic duty to be as healthy as can you…"

An odd statement to make for a MAGA health team, surely? Are the red states going to shun diabeetus?
