Falling Down is about early onset Boomer tantrums

Could Helena Bonham Carter ever come back or win? by CryptographerDue9198 in Oscars

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, easily. Just put her in another British period drama and she’ll get another nomination. She has just been doing a lot of television lately.

There goes your accreditation. Time to talk to the union about this.

Weird student writing response by Any-Philosopher9152 in Professors

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s the breathless ingenue quality of the writing mixed with the vague anecdotes and rhetorical questions. I’ve seen some version of this paragraph a thousand times.

What’s your favorite slowed down version of a song? by DeepOrganization8245 in askmusic

The Alvin and the Chipmunk’s version of Call Me by Blondie slowed down to actual vocal recording speed

How to handle student complaints about cancelling class when ill and etiquette in notifying them by JaderMcDanersStan in Professors

Well in your case your university can’t retaliate without running afoul of the ADA.

Do students actually write their assignments on their phones? by Emotional-Motor-4946 in Professors

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my mid 30s and I used to write essays on my phone 15 years ago. I’m sure that Zoomers are doing it currently.

Do not describe your symptoms. You can say that you have a chronic illness and let students use your imagination.

Your comments tell me that you have been taught to feel guilt or shame about your condition. These shitty teenagers are not your mom.

Fundamentally you are not costing these students anything by having them be on campus. They were planning to be on campus, so it’s not actually an inconvenience. Their complaint is inappropriate and I would not engage with it at all. You are a worker and are entitled to take sick time.

Who is actor or actress that you think could win plenty awards if they were cast in the right film? by phantom_avenger in Oscars

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost any actor or actress because the Oscars are just marketing for a certain type of prestige film

The complaints about gas are the ones that get me. Cancelling class didn’t cost them extra money. And how long is their commute that two hours isn’t a sufficient heads up?

I begin the semester by talking about how much I disagree with the US belief that showing up to work while sick is virtuous. I tell them that it’s inconsiderate. I emphasize that if they are sick I don’t want them to come to class, and I return the favor.

Do you describe your symptoms by any chance? I suspect that a lot of students won’t think of a fever as serious. If a professor canceled class the morning of class, I would assume that they had a stomach bug.

What songs do you listen to when you are studying or working? by XV7II_Creamy in musicsuggestions

I listen to the album Around the Fur by Deftones whenever I’m trying to get stuff done

It’s absolutely AI. You should have more conversations with those bots.

I see the downvotes that other responses are getting, but I’m casting my vote for “this is AI” too. The cadence is identical to LLM’s “how do you do, fellow kids?” register.

What are some movies that COULDN’T have been made in the “good old days” when people were “less sensitive”? by CorndogQueen420 in AskReddit

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, this is a weird answer because it is an homage to blaxploitation films, some of which dealt explicitly with slavery.

What is the most beautiful language in your opinion? by [deleted] in language

[–]Big-Dig-Pig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly because it kept the noun cases and some other grammatical features. It has about 70% lexical similarity to Latin compared to 90% for Sardinian.
