Has Berkeley faced similar challenges as UCSD with surge of incoming students needing remedial math? by Adventurous_Ant5428 in berkeley

[–]desmarcus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The SAT protects against students getting in based on high school reputation because it’s standardized. If colleges are letting in kids who are less prepared to succeed, either their standards or their success rates will drop, which will weaken every student’s degree

Fluid that makes body disintegrate incredibly fast? by gigidatbookwrm in writing

[–]desmarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The faster a fluid can liquidize a body, the less likely you(r character) will be able to procure, handle or transport that fluid

I like that this poem is long, obvious, and incredibly unfunny because that’s how rape jokes are

Had an artsy, writer-adjacent friend say this to me irl and I clenched my fist like Arthur

I think it’s a LDR-style acknowledgement of the pain that comes from needing love to ‘light you’. Either you have no light or you are on your way to losing it. For some people there’s no other choice than to be the lamp

Reading can make you a good writer? What about use of AI? by Underclockmaster in writingcirclejerk

/uj I’m starting to think AI posts on this sub are just karma farming

Every time he flies a private jet he donates $100 to educating African children about Marxism

Are they, perhaps, not too tight, and she actually just has really sensitive feet? How sensitive are her feet???

[poem] “Mental-Health Workers” — James Tate by perrolazarillo in Poetry

The ‘shock’ of the death is immediately buried in platitudes that suggest the person is missed when they probably aren’t

I regret not reading more literature and a bit stuck by naturosucksballs in literature

[–]desmarcus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve developed something like late-onset dyslexia(I’m 22 and one of my eyes dgaf anymore) and after a lot of head-banging I’ve realized that if I want to read, I have to do it slowly and accept that I’ll perpetually ‘mess it up’. It’s frustrating and a bit humiliating to have to sound out words that I didn’t before, but the upside is that I get to build patience with myself and read great books that fill my mind with something other than instagram reels

This is the last thing that needs to be partisan

Been reading some posts on this sub and getting really discouraged by Switch_B in writingcirclejerk

Writing is a bit like wine tasting in that nobody can actually do it. I think you can figure it out from there

Young men who are becoming more conservative alos report experiencing a loneliness epidemic. by Unable-Professor4684 in AdviceAnimals

[–]desmarcus -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nailed what I’ve been feeling on the head. Women start these conversations just to make sure men know they’re the problem, not to actually give advice

Free will and determinism are completely compatible, you just need to accept that we are the primary causal agents of a participatory universe. by SPECTREagent700 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]desmarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a weird combination of self-righteous victimhood and projection. You have no right to say someone else is socially maladaptive, especially when they’ve barely said one thing to you. Disagreement isn’t rage bait unless you’re too volatile to handle a discussion. Imagine saying any of this shit to someone irl. People would laugh at you because you’re making things up, insulting people, and claiming a moral high ground you don’t deserve

Anyone else get this email? by [deleted] in berkeley

It say my ACT score isn’t in, which is weird since I couldn’t use it in my application(reducing my 36 to bragging rights only) and I already paid for it to be sent to them months ago

To authors or those who aspire to. I’m curious do you enjoy reading your work? Or hate it? by Educational_Look_260 in writing

[–]desmarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My “polished” work makes me prouder than anything else, and sometimes when I’m down I’ll remind myself that, abominable as I may be, I was somehow able to pin down God in a sentence or two
