RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

okay, would you please explain. you thought killing people was worth education. you're calling the guy who died twice on the operating table, graduated magna cum laude, had to work a full time and two part time jobs simultaneously while getting his education because whatever scholarships i had my first semester and a half disappeared the second i had to drop out to have my first round of failed surgeries privileged? each surgery cost me over a million dollars, none were elective and i have had more than i can count. the debt simply piles up. i have not looked at it in a decade because it literally scares me. what privilege do you think i had that you didn't. in 5000 words or less, i really need to understand this.
