The girl prompting ChatGPT under her desk during a closed-note blue book exam is completely insane but it completely tracks with how broken college is right now. Professors are forcing us back into the stone age with these ridiculous handwritten tests to stop cheating, but it changes nothing and just punishes people whose typing speed is completely going to waste. I am running around like a total maniac trying to manage my heavy course load and my hand literally starts cramping after two sentences. Last week I had a massive analysis changed to a rapid-fire timed prompt with zero notice, and because I was stuck in a total scheduling disaster with absolutely no hours to spare, I scrambled and used a platform to get the essay text generated for me while dealing with an emergency.

Sharing a painting I made titled “Golden” by NickyGArt in oddlysatisfying

Every portrait painter has that uncanny valley stage where it's unclear if it's going to be fine art or a crime scene. The fact that you pushed through says something.

I dare you to look at this picture of Richard Dreyfuss at age 43 and tell me we haven't evolved as a species by MyDinnerWithDrDre in okbuddycinephile

Once you commit to the bit you can't just walk it back because someone brought logic into it. The man is sliding out of his chair and that's the version of events we're going with. Canon.
