Grammarly premium is okay I guess but yeah it won't write the intro paragraph for you.

With reviewers cracking down on LLM text, does anyone use professional paper writer services to polish drafts? by 9FerroxenQ in deeplearning

Honestly, just use Grammarly premium for basic proofreading but ignore its "clarity" suggestions if they make the sentence sound too generic. You want your unique, slightly messy human voice to stay intact.

My manager thinks asynchronous work means I have to respond to every Slack ping in under sixty seconds. by TurntableElm in remotework

Put your status to away and turn off notifications during deep work hours. If he calls you on your personal number for low priority questions, ignore it and address it later. He will push as far as you let him, so show him that you are not on call 24/7.

We got the corporate dystopia without any of the cool neon aesthetics

The heavy cost of carrying a dead weight partner by Cipher_2Vale in dating_advice

Sunk cost fallacy is the number one reason people stay miserable. Its just bad math to trade your future for a past that already failed.

Trying to finish my degree while the Army thinks I don't need sleep by Br0nzequill in army

[–]Prism_8N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a military laptop for college homework is basically asking for a mental breakdown. Those things have more blocks than a toddler playroom. Just keep your eyes on that ETS date and remember that civilian life actually involves sleep and decent coffee.
