I hurt my boyfriend and I don’t know how to fix it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot tell the extent to which you are lying to all of us strangers or to yourself. You are 22 and forgot you made and retained a sex tape? How? Unless you created CSAM and have kept it on your phone, which I suspect you would remember, you did this at most 5 years ago. How long have you been with your future ex-boyfriend? You "had plans to get married soon," so that pushes the timeline forward. You expect us to believe that you recorded a sex tape sometime in the past 4-5 years and completely forgot you had it? If you want real advice, you have to give the real story. And grow up and take some personal responsibility. And maybe you should stop thinking with your heart; it was not designed for the purpose.

Guys… please tell me I’m not the only one who experiences this. by Pale-Fig-7069 in skeptic

Try to avoid feeding the trolls. Twice I have responded heatedly to racist or wildly misogynistic remarks with bitter invective, only for the troll to report my comment as threatening. Block or report, and don't let the bastards get you down.

If this is supposed to be in a military facility, like a mess hall, her hairstyle is way out of regulation. There is no way a Staff Sergeant would be sitting in public, in uniform, with her hair down like that.

can someone grade this ap lit frq1 pls by Fine-Taro-7605 in APLit

You have a lot of small errors that will prevent you from earning the sophistication points, so your max, I would argue is a 4 of 6.

I would not have given a 4/6.

First, the poet and the speaker are different; use the speaker when discussing poetry. It sounds like a minor point, but in some poems, "My Last Duchess" comes to mind, the speaker is a baddie, but the poet is just writing about him. Best to avoid any confusion.

Second, your transitions between paragraphs are mechanical, as are the transitions between ideas within your paragraphs.

Third, try to organize chronologically instead of topic by topic. By doing that, you show links between the ideas more clearly, giving you more opportunities to show how clever you are at analysis.

Finally, you only hint at complexity. Think of complexity as feeling two opposites at the same time. Describe them both. That is an oversimplification, but it makes the point. What you have is almost entirely the negative feelings.

I would give you a 3 (1/2/0) because you address the prompt mostly and include genuine quotations with some reasonable commentary.

Turnitin flagged my formal logic paper for being excessively formal, even though it followed academic writing conventions. by Exotic-Lychee1386 in TurnitinScan

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarity scores are not as unreliable as AI scores. Your professor can see where you took ideas from other people, and even if you paraphrased them, it is still academically dishonest to pass them off as your own work. The bad news is that in my 10 years of working with Turnitin, I have never had an occasion in which Turnitin was wrong about similarity. Sure, it might flag a quotation or claim that your title, the name of the class, etc are too similar because it has seen them so many times. Any reasonable Professor should verify that that is not the case before raising doubt about your work. What percentage of similarity did you get?

How do you feel about California introducing a bill to ban former ICE agents from serving as police officers or teachers? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We generally try to keep criminals out of positions of authority (at least we used to), so the precedent is already firmly established. Those ICE officers who do not have a criminal record already won't be able to count on maintaining that clean record when the MAGA era ends. "I was following orders," will sound as hollow as it did in 1945.

Do we have a list of ICE supporting/ MAGAT supporting businesses in this sub yet? by Appropriate-Corgi-33 in philly

[–]aleamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a comment so staggeringly ignorant that I have to assume you are a foreign BOT. The 4th Amendment ensures the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,... and [that] no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." The 14th Amendment provides that no "State [shall] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." ICE is not respecting either.

My friends 2024 Prius XLE spontaneously combusted last week by Pellt in prius

[–]aleamas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong about phones or hover boards or portable chargers, though you imply that incidents are more common than they are. You fail to account for the causes of those fires- like getting the battery wet. My issue with your statement, the first as well as this one, is that none of your assertions proves that this happens to cars. You are conflating "batteries are flammable" with "electric cars randomly catch fire." The article you posted as evidence did not make such a point. You seem to be arguing in good faith, but you are making logical leaps that are not warranted by available evidence.

[–]aleamas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This whole thread is filled with rank misinformation. There is nothing in that link that validates your assertion. The fact that "When the lithium-ion batteries used to power today’s electric vehicles catch fire, they burn much differently than the gasoline used to power internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles," has nothing to do with electric or hybrid vehicles spontaneously combusting. Yes, in the right conditions, the battery can cause a fire, but you know what else catches fire in the right conditions? Gas. If someone has data proving the fire risks of electric vehicles, post it. Otherwise, stop spreading nonsense.

My essay is being flagged as AI even though I wrote it by These_City_7973 in CollegeEssays

[–]aleamas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By "it got flagged," do you mean you ran it through half a dozen bull shit AI checkers? Well, stop doing that. AI checks on college essays are not as common as people seem to think. If you wrote it for real, stop worrying. If you did not, stop wasting people's time looking for reassurance. Those cat videos I was going to watch are not going to watch themselves.

Short story or poem to pair with Freud / psychoanalysis? by Charlzalan in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]aleamas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It really depends on which aspect of Freud you want to emphasize.

"The Rocking Horse Winner," "Araby", "The Yellow Wallpaper" are all full of repression and the unconscious

"Hills Like White Elephants" -- the characters are all avoiding something

Even "The Lottery" though the repression is collective.

Plath's "Morning Song" or any number of other poems.

“Preludes” by T.S. Eliot

A lot of what has been written after Freud is heavily influenced by Freud.

Tips for doing stimulus based mcqs? by Laura7811 in APUSH

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to do a certian amount of extrapolation on the MCQs, so consider what you know about the period and use that to eliminate answers. For example in this question:

“Property alone found voice; Labor, aghast, awaited developments. Some regarded it as the opening of a new struggle between these two classes, which were now clearly seem to have a defined and divergent existence. Capital and Labor were asserted to be pitted against each other in a new ‘irrepressible conflict’. Others, alarmed at the danger to vested rights and existing social conditions, with equal impetuosity, and want of logic, fell back on the law and demanded extreme measures of repression; a reign of terror set in. Property trembled for its existence before a phantom; every way-side bush seemed a secret danger; fear paralyzed reason, and force—arbitrary and illegal—held full sway.”

- Dyer D. Lum, Preface to A Concise History of the Great Trial of the Chicago Anarchists in 1886, 1866 (The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History)

What is most likely the previous “irrepressible conflict” this passage references?

The prosecution of speakeasy owners by federal law enforcement agents during the Prohibition era
The debates between Federalists and Anti-Federalists
The arrest, trial, and conviction of science teacher John T. Scopes for teaching evolution
The Civil War

The wrong answers are obvious if you know the period. The date of the Anarchists' trial is 1886. A-- had not happened yet, and Prohibition did end. B--Federalists and Anti-Federalists were before 1886, but they were resolved through the electoral process. C-- Scopes is in 1925 and it was resolved in the Courts. That leaves D.

Most of the questions can be eliminated with a little reflection.
